Jamaal Bowman Walks Back Hamas Propaganda Claim
It sickens me to think that we have members of Congress protecting Hamas rather than Israel, but that is the sad fact of today’s political climate.
To that point, Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.), a member of the Squad, had initially taken a position that the reported rapes by Hamas were “propaganda.”
Finally, he is walking back that notion.
Walking It Back
The allegations made against Hamas during the initial attack on October 7 were never in question.
There were women being paraded around in the streets naked, some of them dead.
There were other videos and pictures that surfaced in the days that followed the attack where young women were sitting on the ground in clear distress, blood all over their clothes in the area of their genitals.
It was clear what happened, yet this was Rep. Bowman on the streets, literally advocating for Hamas…
SCOOP: In the weeks after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) not only publicly cast doubt on reports that Israeli women were raped, but also called those accusations “propaganda,” according to a previously unreported post on TikTok. https://t.co/Vb2dJdUgcK pic.twitter.com/DpXqRmcBS2

With his constant pro-terrorist rhetoric, Bowman lost the support of J Street, a pro-Israel group.
Quite frankly, I don’t understand how any Jewish people can support Democrats when they constantly take up an anti-Israel position in Congress.
With Bowman now facing a very serious challenge from George Latimer in his primary race on June 25, he is retracting his comments.
Bowman recently stated, “As I said at this rally, what Hamas did on October 7th is a war crime and they must release all the hostages.
“The UN confirmed that Hamas committed rape and sexual violence, a reprehensible fact that I condemn entirely. I also voted yes on Resolution 966, which officially condemns the rape and sexual violence committed by Hamas.
“So let me be clear, and ensure my words are not twisted: I always stand against sexual violence in all forms and stand for peace for all.”
Well, let me be clear, how could you possibly stand out in public and call out Israel after we all saw what Hamas did on October 7?
Not to mention, Bowman has also embraced anti-Israel activist Norman Finkelstein.
Our government has been infiltrated from within by people who despise this country and our allies, and it cannot be tolerated any longer.
If you live in New York, it is your duty to remove Bowman, as well as people in Minnesota, Washington, Michigan, and Massachusetts, all states where Squad members reside.
Primary them out so we no longer have to listen to this disgusting rhetoric from members of the United States Congress.
