At issue was not only Bowman\u2019s trip to Israel, which was sponsored by liberal anti-Israel group J Street and included a meeting with Israeli prime minister Naftali Bennett, but also his vote last September in support of funding Israel\u2019s Iron Dome defense system. &#8220;Do you think Bowman\u2019s visit and photo op with an Israeli war criminal was ok?&#8221; asked Gabe. &#8220;Do you think his Iron Dome vote was correct?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The national organization elected not to expel Bowman, but the backlash has spurred the lawmaker to sprint to the left to win back the supporters he lost. On Wednesday night, he was one of just 15 Democrats to vote against a bill that included funding for the Iron Dome\u2014a complete reversal of the position he held just months ago. He was joined in opposition by &#8220;Squad&#8221; members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Rashida Tlaib (Mich.), and Ilhan Omar (Minn.), the most infamous opponents of funding for Israel in Congress.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Last month, Bowman <a href=\"https:\/\/jewishinsider.com\/2022\/02\/jamaal-bowman-pulls-support-for-abraham-accords-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/mailtrack.io\/trace\/link\/87aeb86e6a437a05e641e802579980dcc3ad30ce?url%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fjewishinsider.com%252F2022%252F02%252Fjamaal-bowman-pulls-support-for-abraham-accords-bill%252F%26userId%3D6348687%26signature%3De45bb327fc98d8aa&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1647118477494000&#038;usg=AOvVaw3rEcGyE0i7_UD0xA7yrSWS\">yanked his support<\/a> for legislation that strengthened the Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and some of its Arab neighbors.

Bowman, taking advantage of changing demographics in the district and support from the well-funded radical left wing of the party, successfully won a primary against Engel.

Bowman\u2019s district.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bowman\u2019s current political challenge is to keep the support of the far-left donors that fund his campaign while not completely alienating his district\u2019s large Jewish community. His actions suggest a calculation that the support from his radical base is the top priority, especially considering proposed redistricting plans would exclude a large Jewish community from his district, making any primary challenge an uphill fight.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bowman\u2019s public actions in the wake of criticism from his base appear to have catered toward winning back their trust. In January, the socialist was arrested alongside several dozen other protesters for repeatedly disobeying orders from Capitol Police officers. Bowman was protesting after the Democrats\u2019 bill that would mandate a nationwide system of no-excuse, mail-in voting and restore full voting rights to released felons failed in the Senate. He has also been one of the most vocal critics of moderates in the party, calling Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D., Ariz.) a &#8220;traitor&#8221; to &#8220;our democracy&#8221; for her opposition to abolishing the filibuster.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The DSA does appear to have given Bowman special treatment by allowing him to stay in the organization, given that it has in other cases expelled members who fail to toe the anti-Israel line. In Texas, a far-left House candidate endorsed by the Justice Democrats lost his DSA support because he opposed boycotting Israel.
