After distancing himself from the DSA due to their\u2062 reaction\u200b to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/putin-fumes-at-underlings-about-second-crimea-bridge-attack\/\" title=\"Putin angrily confronts subordinates over 'second' Crimea bridge attack.\">terrorist\u2064 attack<\/a> in Israel on October 7, \u2062which included supporting a pro-Palestinian rally celebrating the attack, Bowman found himself in a difficult position considering his significant Jewish constituency. Initially, it \u200dwas reported\u2063 that he allowed his DSA membership to lapse and condemned the rally. However, in a recent turn of events,\u200b with\u200c his primary race approaching, Bowman met with \u200dDSA members on May 26 and clarified that he was still a member and had not let his dues lapse. This rekindling \u200cof ties with the DSA appears to be Bowman&#8217;s strategy as\u200c the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/top-republican-leader-slams-marjorie-taylor-greene-a-cancer-for-the-republican-party\/\" title=\"Top Republican Leader Slams Marjorie Taylor Greene: A \u2018Cancer For The Republican Party\u2019\">primary election<\/a> nears.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jamaal-bowman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Jamaal Bowman<\/a> (D-NY) is making amends with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/democratic-socialists-of-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Democratic Socialists of America<\/a> after he broke from the group following its response to the Oct. 7 terrorist attack in Israel.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/no-spike-in-florida-coronavirus-cases-despite-no-mask-mandate\/\" title=\"No Spike in Florida Coronavirus Cases Despite No Mask Mandate\">organization<\/a> Bowman had attached himself to promoted a pro-<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/palestinian\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Palestinian <\/a>rally in which some participants praised the killing of 1,200 Israelis shortly after the attack. The event created an awkward relationship for Bowman, who has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/9-key-points-from-trump-campaign-press-conference-on-challenges-to-election-results\/\" title=\"9 Key Points from Trump Campaign Press Conference on Challenges to Election Results\">large number<\/a> of Jewish constituents. <\/p>\n<p>Not only did Bowman condemn the rally, but his office said he had let his membership with the DSA lapse. <\/p>\n<p>However, Bowman rekindled his alliance with the DSA less than a month away from his seat\u2019s primary race.\u00a0Bowman met with members of the DSA on May 26 and stated that he \u201cwas still a member.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m still a member,\u201d Bowman said in a recording of the meeting, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/06\/10\/nyregion\/jamaal-bowman-dsa-israel.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>according to<\/a> the <em>New York Times<\/em>. \u201cI didn\u2019t let my dues lapse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bowman said the reason he had shared this information with his constituents was because he thought it would help with his reelection chances. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMedia has a tendency to talk about BS and not focus on the race, and we wanted to make sure we were focusing on our race at that time and getting reelected,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>However, according to Bowman\u2019s campaign manager, Bowman had stopped paying his dues to the DSA around 2021 due to clashes with the organization over his pro-Israel policies. Bowman had voted in favor of supporting Israel\u2019s Iron Dome missile defense system, and he had traveled to Israel with the pro-Israel nonprofit organization J Street. <\/p>\n<p>While Bowman has distanced himself from the DSA, he has been a strong voice in criticizing Israel\u2019s strikes in Gaza.\u00a0Bowman has accused Israel of committing \u201cgenocide\u201d and has called on lawmakers to stop supplying Israel with military weapons. <\/p>\n<p>Bowman\u2019s stance has caught the attention of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a lobbying group that has spent millions of dollars in an effort to defeat him.<\/p>\n<p>With a large Jewish population in his district, Bowman has turned back to the DSA, showing his support for ending funds for the Iron Dome and favoring the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a common enemy<strong> <\/strong>right now, which is AIPAC, so let\u2019s form Voltron and destroy them,\u201d Bowman said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bowman is facing off against George Latimer, county executive of Westchester County, who has received the endorsement of multiple Jewish organizations.
