House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is committing to defending anti-Israel incumbent members who are facing primary challengers in 2024, Politico reported Thursday.
Members of the “Squad,” including Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Cori Bush of Missouri, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Pramila Jayapal of Washington, continue to call for a ceasefire while repeating anti-Israel sentiments after Hamas, a Palestinian terrorist group, attacked the U.S. ally on Oct. 7. Jeffries will attempt to defend the Progressive Caucus members’ seats in 2024, including those of Omar and Bush, who are facing pro-Israel Democratic primary challengers, as the party seeks to regain a majority in the lower chamber, according to Politico.
“The highly racialized targeting of many of these members, we absolutely need leadership that would defend our members from that,” Ocasio-Cortez told Politico.
Omar has drawn two primary challengers — one from U.S. Air Force veteran Tim Peterson, who has made his bid largely in response to the congresswoman’s rhetoric, and another from former Minneapolis City Council member Don Samuels, who said Omar has “frightened the Jewish community.”
St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell withdrew his candidacy for Senate to challenge Republican Sen. Josh Hawley, and instead launched a challenge to Bush, citing the congresswoman’s stance on the Israel-Hamas war for his reasoning.

Leftist Jews have a suicidal impulse to love communists that murder them. That is one sick kink.
It was a big reason we lost Senators in Arizona and Georgia.
Omar-2 challengers. Guess what that means?
“Openly Hating Jews is cool now.”
If you have given asylum to sheep you should not allow wolves into the fold.
Get a grip...half the problem are kooks on both sides fanning the flames.
Calling for a ceasefire in Gaza is not hate, neither is calling for a two state solution in Palestine.
Hak’em hates Israel.
The Hamas caucus is scared of AIPAC’s 100 million. Terrorist sympathizers should be scared.
“Calling for a ceasefire in Gaza is not hate...”
The party of the KKK is getting back to its kill the Jew roots.
Hating Israel and America are both foundations of the Communist Party.
Calling for a cease fire is just plain stupid
Hamas and the PA are toast. Palestine as it currently thinks it exists is over. From the dust and chunks and tangles in Gaza and now jenin, a new territory is to be created shorn of all traces of the old government and the corruption therein
True. Calling for either of those is not hate, but insanity.
Neither of those options will work, long term. They’ve been repeatedly attempted since the BJC years. Ceasefires don’t last (Hamas repeated breaks them, and violated the one in effect at the time of the Oct. 7th attack), and they won’t accept the two-state solution no matter how it’s offered or configured.
There is no way to negotiate with nor live alongside those who have your utter destruction as their sole reason for existence. Time to be realistic.
Crazy that Jeffries was one of the four speakers at the Pro Israel rally in DC the other day.
I hope someone is taking notes.
Party uber alles.
Yeah you do that Jwffries. Defend the hateful Squad.
What a hakeem!
While I respect free speech, I also have the right to thoroughly condemn your remark.
'palestine' terrorists are lower than the lowest, only deserving a third eye by 9mm.
Let me make something clear about the contemporary Democrat party, it is built on the foundation of racial hatred for all Caucasians, of which Jews are a sub-group.
Yup- what’s funny though is that the left, who embrace Hitler a d his agenda wholeheartedly keep claiming that “Trump acts like hitler” (whom the left adore),
Th3y are so skitzo that they can’t decide whether Hitler is a bad dude or good dude. I guess when they accuse Trump of “being hitler” they are giving him a compliment in their twisted screwed up minds?
