The Democratic Majority for Israel listed the “problematic records” of Reps. Cori Bush (D-MO) and Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) in explaining the endorsements.
The Democratic Majority for Israel, a Democratic advocacy group that supports pro-Israel policies, endorsed primary challengers to two of the most high-profile Democrats calling for a ceasefire in Gaza: Reps.. The group listed a number of “problematic records” for the lawmakers in explaining the endorsements, including their voting records on Israel.
“We look forward to helping Mr. Latimer in his campaign to defeat Congressman Jamaal Bowman, whose troubling track record includes demonizing and delegitimizing Israel and efforts to damage the U.S.-Israel relationship, while failing to address his constituents’ concerns about the alarming rise of antisemitism in their communities,” DMFI PAC Chairman Mark Mellman said in a statement.
Bowman has stirred anger among some pro-Israel groups for his repeated calls for a ceasefire and his vote against a resolution condemning support for Hamas and other terrorist organizations on college campuses. Bowman also voted against a separate resolution condemning support for Hamas and reaffirming U.S. support for Israel.
Bush has similarly sparked ire among pro-Israel groups for her calls for a ceasefire and her comments accusing Congress and the Biden administration of fueling the deaths in Gaza.
