Rep. Jamaal Bowman targeted for expulsion by fellow socialists for Israel visit
Fox News
Democratic Socialists of America's BDS & Palestine Solidarity Working Group called for the expulsion of Rep. Jamaal Bowman after he did not apologize for participating in a diplomatic trip to Israel.
The BDS & Palestine Solidarity Working Group stated in a Monday letter that anti-Zionism and support for "BDS" policies — boycotting, divesting and sanctioning the Israeli government and Israeli businesses — were non-negotiable stances for membership in the party. The Working Group’s call for expulsion comes after Bowman allegedly failed to conform to the party platform after a previous email warned Bowman of the group’s discontent.
"[W]e explicitly told Bowman that just like the propaganda trips sponsored by Zionist groups, Zionist propaganda events are carefully constructed to validate Zionism by advancing certain narratives that normalize Israeli apartheid and the ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from historic Palestine," the Monday letter stated.
