Outgoing members of the Hamas caucus were given a special offer from actor Michael Rapaport after closing speeches wholeheartedly embraced anti-Israel sentiments.

The toxic nature of embracing radical extremes like the side of Islamism in the Middle East proved of no consequence to leftists like New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D) and Missouri Rep. Cori Bush (D). As a result, both had lost their seats to primaries this year and, as they bid farewell to Congress, calls to “Free Palestine” had Rapaport offering them a reality check trip since they’re “sooooo interested in and fascinated by Gaza.”

Sharing a snippet of Bowman’s speech from the House floor on Thursday where the ousted congressman had said, “There’s much more to come. Free Palestine, free the Bronx and free all marginalized people,” the comedian, director and podcaster had reacted, “Since @JamaalBowmanNY @CoriBush are now unemployed & sooooo interested in and fascinated by Gaza, I’m offering to fly them to ISREAL & have a SUV drop them off in RAMALLAH. 7 Days in Judea Samaria on Me. I will add $150 a day per diem. You guys down?”

A rebuttal found the onetime school principal and noted fire alarm-puller bristling, “Behold culture vulture @MichaelRapaport. We let him in and he represents nothing that Hip Hop stands for. A clown of epic porportions [sic]. Is this some sort of threat? I’ve been to Ramallah. Hebron as well. Why don’t you take a trip with Encounter or @BtSIsreal so you might learn something. You won’t because you embody fake Twitter gangsta blowhard sh*t. Do the knowledge clown show. Educate yourself.”

While Bush, who’d called for “Palestinian liberation” in her speech while making claims of “genocide, infanticide, femicide and androcide,” had seemingly ignored the offer from Rapaport, she wasn’t left out of the public’s reaction that included some spontaneous crowdfunding to wish her and Bowman bon voyage.

Kickstarted by BlazeTV host Dave Rubin, a considerable amount had been committed to offer a financial incentive for the outgoing legislators with a caveat.

“I will throw in 20K if they wear a sign that says JEW on their shirt while visiting…” said Rubin in response to the effort to see the Squad members off as others made similar financial promises.

Israel’s counteroffensive against Hamas and Iranian-backed proxies in the region in the aftermath of the Oct. 7 terror attack had proven an eye-opening experience for many Democratic voters who saw their party attempting to curry favor with terrorist sympathizers while taking middling positions on the conflict.

Rapaport himself had admitted during the campaign that, while he still didn’t like how now-President-elect Donald Trump spoke or behaved, “I was wrong. I wasn’t wrong about my personal feelings, and I wasn’t wrong about everything. And I wasn’t wrong about his behavior.”

“But,” he told podcast host Sage Steele, “I was wrong about Israel, and I was wrong about economy stuff…I was… and I wasn’t even wrong about Israel… I was ill-informed about how he, you know, what he did about Iran and the importance of that and how it was. Put the screws to Iran.”

Despite favorable remarks about Trump, Rapaport insisted on keeping his vote for the 2024 presidential election to himself.
