Summary of events:
Bush was elected in 2020 when she beat former Rep. William Lacy Clay in the Democratic primary.
In a phone call last summer her challenger Bell told her he would not run against her.
Bush was one of the first members of Congress to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, alongside Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., the only Palestinian American member of Congress.
This primary AIPAC spent $8.5 million supporting Bell including mailers which featured images with distortions made to Bush’s features. It is the fourth most expensive primary in House history.
This is now the 2nd Squad member AIPAC has removed through its campaign financing.

Lol you’re clearly just going to continue to believe Israel’s propaganda that it uses to justify an ongoing Apartheid state and genocide. I actually go out and organize in my community and am extensively read up on this subject but instead of countering any of my last points you want to tap out and try to use some cliche’s to end the conversation.
Lol, you’re clearly just going to continue to believe the terrorist organization Hamas isn’t motivated to do what their founding document clearly states they want to do. Instead, you want to “tap out” and try to deflect from their horrible existence by claiming that anyone defending against them is somehow commiting genocide.
If you “organize” your community to support Hamas, you are a fool, and are supportive of their genocidal tendencies.
Never said I don’t believe that’s Hamas goal, what I’m saying is it’s largely irrelevant when Israel has been running an apartheid state and killing Palestinians decades before Hamas was even a thing.
Hamas wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for Israel’s decades of cruel actions and more recently allowing of funding.
Think you need to ask why Israel allowed direct funding of Hamas with the clear objective of preventing a Palestinian state. Since like you pointed out they are an extremist organization that won’t help with long term peace in the area. That’s not “anti-semetic” propaganda that was literally from the Times of Israel.
Trying to deflect criticism of Israel as support for Hamas is bs. No US politician that’s spoken out against Israel or myself in any comment here has ever said Hamas “should be in charge” or “Hamas is a shining example” of what we want in the region. Stopping Israel’s genocide doesn’t mean the end goal is Hamas in charge.
We want a unified state where all citizens are treated fairly and equally. Israel has taken clear actions to prevent that.
Don’t forget the U.S. and Israel killing (often literally) any moderate voice in Palestine
