(Townhall) Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) only has a few months left in office, but the Squad member is being lauded in other ways for his anti-Israel narratives. While Bowman lost his primary to Westchester County Executive George Latimer in June, he’ll be honored by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) with their 2024 Champion of Justice award. He’ll also serve as the keynote speaker for the event, while antisemitic activist Linda Sarsour will emcee the event.
An announcement from last Friday praised the congressman for having “dedicated his time in Congress to advocating for racial justice, civil rights, economic fairness and a just foreign policy, including in the Middle East.” There’s specific emphasis on this latter point, as the announcement went on to laud Bowman for being “one of the first members of Congress with the moral courage to call for a ceasefire in Gaza and has consistently condemned the Israeli government’s genocidal attacks on the Palestinian people.”
