Bowman specifically targeted the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) for their campaign against his reelection, citing his criticisms of Israel as the reason behind the $14 million campaign launched against him.

In his address, Bowman used strong language to express his frustration, stating, 'We are gonna show f---ing AIPAC the power of the motherf---ing South Bronx.' He emphasized his commitment to fighting back against those who come after him and his family, highlighting his stance against what he perceives as genocide against Palestinians in the ongoing conflict with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
