A Democrat pro-Israel group is seeking to oust 'Squad' members Reps. Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman amid their history of controversial comments regarding Israel.
A pro-Israel Democrat group is looking to oust two controversial far-left 'Squad' members from their seats in Congress this cycle. The Democratic Majority for Israel PAC on Wednesday endorsed George Latimer, the Westchester County executive who is challenging Rep. Jamaal Bowman of New York, and Wesley Bell, the progressive prosecuting attorney for St. Louis County who is running against Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri, in their upcoming primaries this summer.
Fellow Squad member Bowman also has a history of anti-Israel rhetoric. The New York Democrat said reports of Israeli women being raped by Hamas terrorists were 'propaganda' just days after taking part in a viewing of footage of the Hamas attack. 'There was propaganda used in the beginning of the siege,' Bowman said in a TikTok post discovered first by Politico. 'There’s still no evidence of beheaded babies or raped women. But they still keep using that lie propaganda.
Bowman and Bush, alongside some other fellow Squad members, boycotted Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s speech to Congress in July, months before the deadly Hamas attacks, in protest of what they said were human rights abuses against Palestinians.
