My understanding is that AIPAC didn’t actually put significant resources toward this race, precisely because Omar wasn’t particularly vulnerable to a primary challenge.
This is ancillary to your point but Jesus Christ the fact that congressional elections are every two years is completely bonkers, especially considering how stupid long our election cycles are.

I’ve generally been skeptical of people prioritizing marginal symbolic harms over material harms, but I don’t think this even qualifies as a marginal symbolic harm. Most people understand content and context 🙄
