Members of the Squad, also known as the Hamas Caucus, have made their antisemitism clear. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who wouldn't denounce the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas, wore a keffiyeh to the State of the Union address. She also rallied mobs with the story of Israel bombing a hospital even after it had been debunked.
The Jewish Democratic Council of America announced Thursday that it was endorsing the challengers of Reps. Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush in their primaries, the first time they've endorsed against a Democrat incumbent.

First time in group’s history they’ve endorsed against any Dem incumbent. https://t.co/u9R6kpat9v
Statement from Jewish Democratic Council of America, which has close ties to Dem leadership:

“We understand that Wesley Bell and George Latimer are supporting the priorities that Jewish Americans are prioritizing when they go to the polls. We know that they are fighting for…
“We understand that Wesley Bell and George Latimer are supporting the priorities that Jewish Americans are prioritizing when they go to the polls. We know that they are fighting for abortion rights and for defending our democracy, and for safer communities and combating gun violence, and health care for all, and in support of Israel and combating antisemitism.”
They're still dyed-in-the-wool Democrats, but Bowman and Bush are a bridge too far.
Notably, the group did not endorse against Rep. Ilhan Omar when she faced scandal over antisemitism in 2020 — and when she nearly lost reelection in 2022.

@CoriBush and @JamaalBowmanNY are so hateful and vile. Of course they're endorsing their opponents @bell4mo and @LatimerforNY.

The fact they endorsed these antisemites before makes me ill
— Robert (@AvnetRobert) March 28, 2024
They need to endorse against the whole Squad.

Finally. They have a spine

Two worthless representatives of the people.

I don't understand how there are still Jewish Democrats in America.
— Russells Teapot (@teapot_russells) March 28, 2024
When will these people wake up and look around at the world their party created?
Good. Both of them are simpleminded Jew haters.

I mean, it's amazing that it took this to get them to realize. There was no issue when they were screwing over average American citizens for years. Now that they see they are including Jewish people in their distain for us, they are finally waking up.

Finally acting rationally for the first time.

Even President "Genocide Joe" Biden appears to be buckling under the pressure and doing everything he can to get aid to Gaza and tell Benjamin Netanyahu how to run his war. He's really desperate to win Michigan.
Once again, we amaze ourselves by praising Sen. John Fetterman for showing how a Democrat can stand strong against Hamas.
