[ToI]An AIPAC-led campaign has set its sights on deposing the St. Louis congresswoman, another member of the far-left ’Squad’ up for reelection, though success is far from a given Less than two days after AIPAC spent $14 million in a successful bid to send Rep. Jamaal Bowman packing in New York, the pro-Israel powerhouse texted a message to its followers: Their next target is Missouri Rep. Cori Bush.
"On Tuesday night, the pro-Israel community helped ensure anti-Israel Rep. Jamaal Bowman won’t be returning to Congress next year," said the fundraising text the American Israel Public Affairs Committee sent Thursday afternoon. "With your support, we can also help defeat Rep. Cori Bush, another member of the anti-Israel Squad."
Time was pressing, AIPAC said. "We have a short window to act." Bush’s primary is on August 6.
Bush, whose district includes St. Louis, has much in common with Bowman: Each ousted a long-serving establishment Democrat in a 2020 primary, and both are members of the far-left Squad in Congress.
They are also both harsh critics of Israel, voting against emergency funding for Israel in its war against Hamas, and accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza.
"The U.N. special rapporteur just released a report showing strong evidence of genocide in Gaza," Bush said on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, in March. "Meanwhile, the Biden Admin signaled it’ll continue arming the Israeli government. Hollow words aren’t enough. We need action. Stop sending bombs."
On October 16, nine days after Hamas launched the war against Israel, massacring some 1,200 people inside the country and kidnapping 251, Bush introduced a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire.
