If Dems Keep Supporting Israel They Will Lose The Race!

Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) will not back Brad Cohen if he becomes the House nominee.

Retiring lawmaker Bonnie Watson Coleman of New Jersey is not endorsing any Democratic candidate as of yet. But she is pretty clear on who she doesn't want to be the nominee. 

Watson Coleman is one of the few African American women representing New Jersey.

She along with Reps. Herb Conaway (D-NJ) and LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) are African American lawmakers. 

If she wins in April, Analilia Mejia will be the fourth African American to serve.

Watson Coleman made it clear: Brad Cohen will not be endorsed or supported if he becomes the House nominee.

Watson Coleman, a fierce progressive New Jersey House member has received donations from J Street, the "pro Israel progressive Zionist" organization. However, she has opposed the funding of Israel, call what is happening in Gaza a "genocide" and has openly demanded the United States end its alliance with Israel.

Cohen, mayor of East Brunswick denounced her calling her attacks on the apartheid ethnostate antisemitic.

Cohen, Watson Coleman argued, is an unacceptable choice to be her successor because of his support for Israel. “He’s a hardline supporter of Netanyahu, who is a despot, a corrupt leader,” the progressive congresswoman said.

The two Democrats have tangled in the past over the issue of Israel; after Watson Coleman opposed a resolution condemning the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement in 2019, Cohen called her vote “disappointing” and said the resolution was “nothing less than institutional Anti-Semitism.” Cohen is also a member of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the pro-Israel lobby group that has become increasingly controversial among Democratic voters.

(Cohen did, however, come to Watson Coleman’s defense in 2020 after her primary rival sent an anti-semitic email that purported to be from Watson Coleman, saying that “any statement, attack, or characterization of the Congresswoman as Anti-Semitic is completely without merit and personally insulting.”)

When asked about Watson Coleman’s comments opposing his candidacy, Cohen said he doesn’t consider himself a hardline supporter of Israel, and that he disagrees with some actions taken by the Israeli government. The congresswoman’s characterization, he said, isn’t “a true statement.”

Dr. Adam Hamawy, a plastic surgeon and former Army combat veteran calls Israel's actions horrible. He is the strongest candidate to replace Watson Coleman.

“I have a lot of respect for Congresswoman Watson Coleman. She spent her first Passover at my house when she became a congresswoman, so our history goes back a long time,” Cohen said. “On most issues, we’re completely on the same page. But I think she’s mischaracterizing me when she calls me a hardliner.”

Watson Coleman said that of the 17 other Democrats running for her seat, she already knows and trusts five of them: Somerset County Commissioner Shanel Robinson (D-Franklin), Assemblywoman Verlina Reynolds-Jackson (D-Trenton), Plainfield Mayor Adrian Mapp, surgeon and Army veteran Adam Hamawy, and Sue Altman, who was the Democratic nominee for the neighboring 7th district in 2024. Any of them, the congresswoman said, would be good successors in the deep-blue, majority-minority 12th district.

“I know them, and I know that they’re all hardworking, good people, and they care,” she said. “But I’m not putting my finger on this in any way, shape, or form.”

Hamawy save the life of Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), a double amputee combat veteran who is the first Asian American woman from Illinois to serve the seat.

He just came back to the United States after serving as a doctor at European Hospital in Khan Yonus in Gaza. The apartheid ethnostate relentlessly bombed the hospital.

After seeing the carnage, operating for days without energy, food and sleep, Hamawy openly stated that what Israel is doing "amounts to a genocide."

The junk food media is not pushing him as much because they do not view him as a strong opponent. They rather keep you interested in the status quo.
