This defeat drew \u2063criticisms from his allies, who largely blamed the American Israel\u2063 Public Affairs Committee \u2064(AIPAC) for his poor performance, suggesting undue influence \u2062on \u2064the election. Bowman, who\u200c was accused of being a rape-denying Hamas \u2062apologist, made a\u2062 notable error during\u200b his campaign by addressing a\u2063 crowd in a location not within his district, falsely \u200dattributing it \u200cto the South Bronx. Key figures such as Bernie Sanders\u2063 and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez supported Bowman, with AOC notably criticizing AIPAC harshly.\u200c Despite \u2063the backlash, some commentators suggested that if AIPAC did influence Bowman\u2019s defeat, it was a positive outcome for countering pro-Hamas sentiments\u2062 within \u2064political races. The article also reflects on AIPAC&#8217;s historical moderation and widespread political\u200b engagement, including with past presidents and controversial figures.  <\/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>Jamaal Bowman <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/06\/25\/new-york-primary-voters-send-squad-member-jamaal-bowman-to-the-unemployment-line\/\">lost<\/a> his congressional primary race yesterday by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2024\/06\/25\/us\/elections\/results-new-york-us-house-16-primary.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">17 points<\/a>, and all his allies in D.C. and the media decided to blame the Jews.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it\u2019s true that a large contingent of Jews who reside in Westchester County got together and, using their free will, decided to vote against a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/dlippman\/status\/1772596901898072412\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rape-denying<\/a> Hamas apologist. But let\u2019s not underplay the fact that Bowman was also a truther, a racist, and a fire-alarm-pulling clown.<\/p>\n<p>Bowman, it seems, didn\u2019t even know where his district was located. \u201cWe are gonna show f\u2014king AIPAC the power of the motherf\u2014ing South Bronx,\u201d the former middle-school principal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/rep-bowman-says-aipac-see-power-motherf-ing-bronx-during-rally-speech\">yelled<\/a> to a small crowd at one of the most cringe-worthy political rallies I can ever remember watching.

His rally was five miles outside his district.<\/p>\n<p>In any event, most leftists blamed the American Israel Public Affairs Committee for Bowman\u2019s fortunes. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who put on some kind of wild pogo dance at the Bowman rally, has accused AIPAC <a href=\"https:\/\/sg.news.yahoo.com\/top-progressives-blame-aipac-outside-223124508.html\">of being<\/a> \u201ca right-wing insurrectionist-supporting, pro-Netanyahu lobbying organization.\u201d\u00a0MSNBC\u2019s Chris Hayes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/msnbcs-chris-hayes-ripped-claiming-bowman-race-dead-heat-without-pro-israel-aipacs-involvement#:~:text=MSNBC%20host%20Chris%20Hayes%20appeared,%22dead%20heat%22%20without%20it.\">claimed<\/a> that Bowman\u2019s\u00a0race was in a \u201cdead heat\u201d without AIPAC\u2019s involvement, which is a ludicrous conjecture considering Bowman was <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2024\/04\/03\/us-news\/rep-jamaal-bowman-trails-rival-george-latimer-by-17-points\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">down 17 points<\/a> before AIPAC ever <a href=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/2024\/05\/16\/aipac-jamaal-bowman-attack-ads-george-latimer\/\">ran an ad<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the thing: Though it is highly likely Bowman would have lost his race without AIPAC\u2019s involvement, if the pro-Israel group was responsible for taking him down, that\u2019s <em>fantastic<\/em>.
