Jamaal Bowman Doesn’t Care About Hate Crimes Against Jews Committed By Non-Whites

Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY16) is in for a tough fight to keep his seat as a congressman as a fellow progressive with significant experience is running against him in the Democratic primary. For some reason, Bowman’s strategy is to paint Westchester County Executive George Latimer as a White MAGA racist which is completely absurd. At the same time, Bowman is showing his true colors by whitewashing the terrible spike in antisemitism in New York, particularly stemming from attacks by non-White people.

Bowman’s website discusses a variety of hate crimes “since Trump was elected,” including against the Jewish, Muslim, Asian and Black communities. However, he only highlights one group of perpetrator of the attacks: White people.

At four different times, Bowman’s site highlighted “a white nationalist” killing Jews in Pittsburgh, “a white man” killing Muslims in North Carolina, and issues surrounding “white nationalism” and “white supremacist extremism.” At no time did he flag hate crimes and murders committed by Muslims or Blacks.

Bowman declined to mention several Black people killing Jews in Jersey City in 2019 or a Black man hacking a rabbi to death in Monsey, NY that same month. Or the dozens of attacks against Jews in New York City by minorities. He failed to highlight the near lynching of Joseph Borgen by a gang of five Muslim men in the middle of the day on the streets of Manhattan in 2021. He deliberately avoided mentioning the calls to kill Jews and harassment of Jews by Muslims over the past three months, with 34 antisemitic incidents per day according to the ADL.

In trying to appear balanced between Jews and Muslims, Bowman’s website says he pushed “a resolution that declared the value of both Palestinian and Israeli lives, urged an immediate ceasefire and encouraged diplomatic efforts.” That resolution was put forward in the week immediately after Palestinian Arabs sadistically butchered 1,200 people in Israel on October 7, essentially granting Hamas and other Arab terrorists immunity from justice. The resolution did not only fail to condemn Hamas, it did not call for a release of the 240 hostages. Instead, it called out humanitarian aid for Gaza.

Jamaal Bowman has long peppered his career in Washington with race-baiting. Now he taunts Jews that he is only concerned for their well-being when perpetrators are White racists, prioritizing Blacks and Muslims over Jews, as antisemitism spikes to alarming levels.
