Progressive Rep. Jamaal Bowman called Nikki Haley a “disgusting human” for writing “end them” on an IDF bomb while visiting Israel just after it attacked a refugee camp over the weekend.
‘Nikki Haley is disgusting. She is a disgusting human being for doing that,” she told CNN’s Abby Phillip.
“That is genocidal language and it is the language that turns the American people against our government.”
The cheeky image was taken by Israel’s former ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, while Haley was visiting the country’s northern border with Lebanon.
‘Why do we continue to support not only the constant attacks on Gaza, but the eternal wars?’ Bowman continued. “There are people in our country, their entire lives, including me, who seem like we are constantly at war with someone who spends trillions and kills millions, while people suffer, starve and die right here in our country.”

Bowman also criticized President Joe Biden for his support for Israel as the death toll of Palestinian civilians rises.
Last week the International Court of Justice (ICJ) demanded Israel cease its operations in Rafah due to the impact on civilians and the ICC has issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu.
“American guns are burning little children alive and that’s why you have to respond,” Bowman urged Biden. ‘We cannot send another gun or another dollar to Israel and (Prime Minister) Benjamin Netanyahu right now because they have been moving forward with what the ICJ has called a plausible genocide, and the whole world sees it. My district sees it, the country sees it.”
Bowman is in a contentious primary against AIPAC-backed Westchester County Executive George Latimer, and political groups aligned with Israel are pouring millions into the race against him.
The progressive New Yorker has called reports that Hamas beheaded babies in the Oct. 7 attack “propaganda” and has introduced legislation to provide $14 trillion in reparations to America’s 42 million black citizens.
“What the United States needs to understand is that if Israel is fighting our enemies, how can we not help them?” Haley said after her message about the IDF projectile.
‘The sure way not to help Israel is to withhold weapons. The sure way not to help Israel is to praise the ICC, the ICJ or any of those who condemn Israel instead of condemning what is happening.’
‘America needs to do whatever Israel needs and stop telling them how to fight this war. Either you are a friend or you are not a friend.
On her recent visit to the Jewish state, Haley also toured southern Israel, where she met with survivors of the brutal Hamas attack on October 7, which resulted in the deaths of 1,200 people and the kidnapping of another 253.
In the wake of that attack, more than 36,000 Palestinians, including large numbers of young children, have been killed in waves of Israeli strikes, according to the Gaza-run Health Ministry.
