    WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. – An event intended to promote healing from antisemitism and hate hosted by Rep. Jamaal Bowman turned heated as demonstrators confronted the congressman, who supports a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas.

    Pro-Israel demonstrators gathered at the church in White Plains where Bowman was hosting the healing against hate event.

    Many Jewish voters in the 16th congressional district are upset Bowman voted against resolutions to condemn Hamas.

    Bowman, a 2nd-term congressman, boycotted the July speech to Congress by Israeli President Herzog and now supports a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war.

    “You’re calling for some weird cease-fire that won’t accomplish anything other than give Hamas, which is basically an ISIS organization, time to regroup and kill more Jews,” said Guy Baron, of Scarsdale.

    Many Jewish leaders are pushing George Latimer, the popular Westchester County executive, to challenge him in the Democratic primary.
