Rep. Jamaal Bowman, a member of 'The Squad,' is facing significant backlash over his stance on Israel. Bowman has been criticized for his pro-Palestinian positions, which have put him at odds with fellow Democrats, including Rep. Ritchie Torres. Torres has threatened to endorse Bowman's primary challenger due to Bowman's comments on Israel. Amid mounting scrutiny, Bowman reportedly asked a local Jewish leader for photos to demonstrate his friendships with Jewish people. This request has further fueled accusations of antisemitism against Bowman. The controversy comes as Bowman faces a tough primary challenge from George Latimer, with some polls indicating Bowman is trailing by double digits. The primary is set for June 25th. Bowman has also been accused of supporting blacklisting Israel and leaving it exposed to terror missiles.
