New Jersey Candidate Adam Hamawy Condemns Antisemitism Amid Campaign Scrutiny
Adam Hamawy, a candidate in the Democratic primary for New Jersey's 12th congressional district, has publicly condemned antisemitism and accusations of dual loyalty. As a Muslim and a critic of Israel, Hamawy has faced scrutiny over his past connections and his stance on Israel. He has been vocal about the rise of antisemitism, expressing his concerns in a statement to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA). Hamawy's campaign has gained momentum following support from the pro-Palestinian super PAC, American Priorities, which has invested significantly in his campaign. Despite his controversial views on Israel, including opposition to military aid and the Iron Dome defense system, Hamawy emphasizes shared values with Jewish constituents and highlights the contributions of Jewish staff and supporters to his campaign.
