Rep. Cori Bush's Campaign Misled by Fake Anti-Israel Social Media Account

A parody account posing as a rabbi duped Bush's team into considering a fundraiser with anti-Israel themes.

  • The fake account, 'Chief Rabbi of Gaza Linda Goldstein,' previously fooled Rep. Jamaal Bowman.
  • Bush's finance director expressed interest in hosting a fundraiser at the Gaza border.
  • The parody account suggested the fundraiser's theme be 'the morality of intifada.'
  • The account's outrageous claims included using a menorah made of missiles.
  • A genuine rabbi criticized Bush for her lack of understanding of the Israel-Palestine conflict.
