Rep. Jamaal Bowman criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after Israeli forces conducted a rescue operation to free hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.
Bowman’s comments, made on social media, condemned the Israeli government’s actions during the rescue mission.
“While we watched the Super Bowl, Netanyahu launched a wave of attacks and killed innocent civilians in Rafah — a place where many refugees fled for relative safety — despite warnings from Biden. Netanyahu’s government is unfit to lead anything and cannot receive support,” Bowman said.

However, critics pointed out that the military operation was specifically aimed at rescuing hostages held by Hamas, emphasizing the context of the situation.
Several individuals, including Marina Medvin, Guy Benson, AG Hamilton, Kassy Dillon, and Tony Katz, expressed disapproval of Bowman’s stance and highlighted the importance of understanding the circumstances of the rescue operation.
“The ‘innocent civilians’ are literally Hamas dudes holding Jews hostage after kidnapping them from their homes four months ago. And the ‘wave of attacks’ was Israel rescuing their citizens. WTF is this. Did you even read the article you linked? Maybe you think Hamas is going to pay for your legal fees. But the reality is they won’t make it,” Marina Medvin said.
“I’m so sorry hostage rescues and terrorist deaths are happening to you,” Guy Benson said.
“The article Bowman is linking to is describing the operation to save 2 elderly hostages tonight. Something he doesn’t even mention as he condemns the operation. We shouldn’t have members of Congress who support terrorists that murder Americans. Vote him out,” AG Hamilton said.
“While we watched the Super Bowl, the IDF and the Shin Bet launched a rescue operation to save two elderly hostages held for 127 days by the terrorist group who decided to start this war and murder and terrorize civilians,” Kassy Dillon said.
“Elected officials supporting Hamas. It never stops being disgusting,” Tony Katz said.
