Rep. Jamaal Bowman is calling for a 'clear distinction' between Israel's citizens and its government, saying the 'Israeli government is not representative of the Jewish people.'
New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman, a Democrat, is calling for a 'clear distinction' to be made between Israel's citizens and the country's government as there has been a rising number of cases of antisemitism in the U.S. and around the world amid the war between Israeli forces and Hamas terrorists. Bowman explained that people can hold the Israeli government accountable while also standing with the Jewish people against hate and antisemitism.
More than 10,000 people have been killed in Gaza and Israel since Hamas launched its largest attack against the Jewish State in decades on Oct. 7, leading to retaliatory action from Israeli forces. Thousands more have been wounded, and many others have been taken hostage by Hamas and raped, tortured and murdered. Bowman is among several progressive Democrats who have been critical of the Israeli government since its war against Hamas began. A proposal to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.
think when we’re having the conversation about human rights and international law, we have to have honest conversations, and we have to hold even our allies accountable when they are violating international law,' Bowman said. 'I think the U.S. hasn’t done a good enough job of that.' The Biden administration has strongly supported Israel in its war against Hamas, including backing its right to defend itself and pledging billions in aid.
