What’s behind the historic pro-Israel spending in US House primary election?

Reporting from Washington DC, US

Representative Jamaal Bowman, one of the newest members of the progressive “squad” in the US Congress, is facing a fight for his political life.

On Tuesday, he defends his seat in the House of Representatives by competing in the Democratic primary for New York’s 16th congressional district. But while incumbents are rarely challenged, Bowman is facing one of the most costly contests in the history of House primaries.

Progressive groups and politicos say the battle is a direct result of Bowman’s vocal criticism of Israel’s war in Gaza, as groups like the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) are spending big to unseat him.

Bowman is part of a small but growing number of voices in Congress questioning the US’s commitment to Israel, its “ironclad” ally. That, experts say, puts a bulls-eye on his back.

“I’m not so sure that there would be a primary if it wasn’t for the war in Gaza and the oversized influence AIPAC and outside forces have had in this race, trying to press this issue and trying to get rid of Congressman Bowman,” Doug Gordon, a Democratic consultant and co-CEO of UpShift Strategies, told Al Jazeera. nbd nbd nbd nbd nbd nbd nbd nbd nbd nbd nbd nbd nbd nbd nbd nbd nbd nbd nbd nbd nbd nbd nbd nbd nbd nbd nbd nbd
