Both Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush, who had been serving in the House, where they were fiercely opposed to Israel, lost their primary contests last year, defeated when pro-Israel organizations poured in money to support their opponents. Having no marketable skills, both Bush and Bowman have now become full-time anti-Israel activists, supported by deep-pocketed supporters of the “Palestinians,” including those who deny that the atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7, 2023, ever took place. They have a new show on Zeteo, a network founded by the Muslim journalist Mehdi Hasan, with money supplied, it seems, by deep-pocketed Arabs in the Gulf. They are thus free to indulge in their hatred of the Jewish state and their desire to see it disappear, to be replaced by a 23rd Arab state. Bowman and Bush are all-in with “Palestinian liberation,” and determined to deplore the so-called, and indeed nonexistent, “genocide” in Gaza, as was clear from the latest episode of their new show.
More on Bowman and Bush can be found here: “Former US Reps. Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman Encourage Left-Wing Organizations to Push for ‘Palestinian Liberation,’” by Corey Walker, Algemeiner, May 8, 2025:
Former US Democratic Reps. Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman praised anti-Israel organizations and encouraged left-wing activists to continue speaking up in favor of “Palestinian liberation” and against the so-called “genocide” in Gaza during the latest episode of their new show.
“I want to especially appreciate all of the organizations that are out, and when you protest you also protest to save lives in Gaza. You also are standing for Palestinian liberation; you’re also speaking up against the genocide,” Bush said on a new episode of their show, “Bowman & Bush,” on the Zeteo network.
Yes, a “mass mobilization.” Who’s going to bring it about? I look forward to Bowman and Bush trying to mobilize the masses when they couldn’t even mobilize the few thousand primary voters they would have needed to remain in the House. And how do they propose to ensure that “activists” on the left will stop spending so much time on pocketbook issues — inflation, tariffs, unemployment, cuts to medicare, unemployment — and devote more of their time on a distant conflict on the dusty edge of Asia, between Israel and those who call for the disappearance of the Jewish state and its replacement by a 23rd Arab one?
Bush added that “what we need right now” is a mass mobilization effort behind the pro-Palestinian cause. She encouraged activists to become engaged in foreign affairs, comparing the war in Gaza to the ongoing crises in Haiti and Congo.
In the 19 months following the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, massacre across southern Israel, in which Palestinian terrorists murdered 1,200 people and kidnapped 251 hostages, left-wing activists across the US have organized an unremitting barrage of demonstrations condemning the Jewish state for its military response in Hamas-ruled Gaza….
Bowman also took shots at Israel during his show, saying that liberals need to “fight for democracy everywhere,” including within the Jewish state. He slammed progressive American groups for refusing to speak up about the supposed “apartheid” to which he claimed Israel subjects Palestinians.
Democracy everywhere? Even in Gaza, where the despotic and corrupt rule by Hamas is nothing like a democracy, and those who dare to criticize Hamas, like Oday Nasser Al Rabays, are immediately executed? Or in the Palestinian Authority, where its head, President Mahmoud Abbas, is now in the 20th year of his four-year term? In fact, in the 22 Arab states, there is only one quasi-democracy, Lebanon. The only real democracy in the vast territory from Morocco to Iran is tiny Israel.
“If you’re fighting for American democracy you have to fight for democracy everywhere. You can’t support apartheid in one country, but American democracy here,” Bowman said. “That’s not how that works, and there’s a lot of people and a lot of organizations who are completely silent on apartheid in Israel.”…
Could the reason so many people are “silent” on apartheid in Israel because they are perfectly aware that there is no apartheid? Fling that word around all you want, along with that other epithet “genocidal,” but the facts say otherwise. There is no apartheid in Israel. Arabs serve on the Supreme Court, sit in the Knesset, go abroad as diplomats. A former head of Israel’s largest bank, Bank Leumi, was an Arab. Jews and Arabs work in the same offices and the same factories. Jews and Arabs are treated by the same medical personnel — both Jews and Arabs — in the same hospitals. Jews and Arabs play on the same sports teams and in the same orchestras. Jews and Arabs go to universities together. Jews and Arabs start businesses together, everything from restaurants to high tech start-ups. There is only one way in which Jews and Arabs are treated differently, and it is to the advantage of the Arabs. Jews must, while Arabs may, serve in the military. Bowman and Bush need to be confronted with this evidence, and asked to explain their charge of “apartheid” in Israel.

Both of them will repeatedly work the natives into an “emotional frenzy”. Unguarded emotions are a dangerous element to mankind typically ending in stupid knee jerk reactions.
It appears that one can make a living spreading hate and division.
OLD GUY says
Yes just like racism being pushed by activist.like Al Sharpton who make millions of dollars by accusing everyone and everything to be racist. Al doesn’t want racism to go away he’d lose his gravy train and social status.
These two losers are working the same scam.
Edward Amos Brandwein says
These brainwashed leftards don’t even know what “Apartheid” really means.

Mr. False Fire Alarm Bowman and his cohort Ms. Ignoramus Bueh are at it again. They are the fools alluded to by Rudyard Kipling in If. Both are too stupid to be the knaves:
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Nonetheless, the fools leading fools can do much damage.
And the whole poem, just substitute “Israel” for “you” (with other appropriate substitutions):
RUDYARD KIPLING
If—
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

Taffy,
Years ago, my father gave me a copy of that Rudyard Kipling poem on my birthday.
Thanks dad – for everything.

Bowman and Bush, Out of Office But Still All In on Bashing Israel
…………………………………..
Disgusting.

Whydo the photo captions leave out Rashida Tlaib, muslim sympathizer extraordinaire? She is in each ot the photos, as she is possibly even more rabid than Bush and Bowman. Does the photographer have a crush on her, or just didn’t want us to know Tlaib was a part of the whole ridiculous protest/farce? The author didn’t bother to mention her either from my brief scan of the article.
