During a recent rally, Rep. Jamaal Bowman of New York delivered a passionate speech criticizing U.S. involvement in Israel. Bowman specifically targeted the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) for their campaign against his reelection, citing his criticisms of Israel as the reason behind the $14 million campaign launched against him.
In his address, Bowman used strong language to express his frustration, stating, 'We are gonna show f---ing AIPAC the power of the motherf---ing South Bronx.' He emphasized his commitment to fighting back against those who come after him and his family, highlighting his stance against what he perceives as genocide against Palestinians in the ongoing conflict with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Bowman's rally also featured an endorsement from Sen. Bernie Sanders, who urged voters to prioritize standing against oligarchy over individual disagreements with Bowman. Sanders emphasized the importance of preventing billionaires from influencing elections, calling for unity within the Democratic Party on this issue.
The upcoming primary race between Bowman and challenger Westchester County Executive George Latimer is expected to be one of the most expensive House primary races in U.S. history. A recent poll conducted by Emerson College and The Hill showed Latimer leading Bowman 48% to 31% following a debate between the two candidates.
If Latimer emerges victorious in the June 25 primary, he will become the first moderate Democrat to defeat a member of the left-wing 'Squad.' The outcome of this race will have significant implications for the future direction of the Democratic Party and its approach to issues related to Israel and foreign policy.
