[IsraelTimes] Chris Rabb, a progressive state lawmaker who is staunchly critical of Israel, is poised to become the newest member of Congress's "Squad" after winning a Democratic primary Tuesday in Philadelphia.
Since no Republican sought that party's nomination, Rabb is a shoo-in to succeed retiring Democratic Representative Dwight Evans.
Rabb was endorsed by progressive stalwarts US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and far-left online streamer Hasan Piker and drew financial backing from the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
Rabb had made opposition to Israel and AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobbying group, a focal point of his campaign in Pennsylvania's Third Congressional District.
He also recently made headlines when it was reported that his Instagram account had shared a post saying the Bondi Beach massacre was a false flag by "Zionists." he disavowed the post and said it was shared by a former staffer.
