The satirical social media persona known as the “Chief Rabbi of Gaza” has managed to deceive Rep. Cori Bush’s team into considering a potential event with the fictional rabbi.
The New York Post reported that Bush’s re-election campaign entertained the idea of a fundraiser with “Fabbi Linda Goldstein,” a parody account known for its anti-Israel views aimed at progressives.
The parody account reached out to Bush’s team on June 23, suggesting a collaboration for a fundraiser and claiming that their “congregation was displaced from Gaza after Israel’s invasion on October 7.”
Additionally, the account proposed the idea of hosting the fundraiser at the Gaza border, stating, “The optics could be incredible,” as shown in emails reviewed by the Post.
Holy shit?! If this is real and Cori Bush reached out to a parody account to fundraise in Gaza, she should be removed from Congress just for being a complete moron. https://t.co/KUDCNaxzoQ

Following this, Ronika Moody, the finance and engagement director for Bush, expressed interest in hosting the fundraiser in Gaza, an idea that had been under consideration.
However, no concrete plans had been made at that point. Moody also inquired about the potential theme of the fundraiser, asking if it would be Gaza-related.
Goldstein then suggested that the theme could focus on “the morality” of intifada and referenced “finding a final solution to the problem of Zionism.”
It’s important to note that Bush has frequently criticized Israel and its actions in Congress as she is currently involved in a closely contested primary battle.
The parody account, known for making claims about establishing terror tunnels in American universities, also managed to deceive another member of the “Squad,” duping Rep. Jamaal Bowman and his campaign with a similar exchange in April.
In response to these events, Michael, the person behind the account, shared his thoughts with the New York Post.
He referred to Bush as an ’empty suit’ antisemite and suggested that she is ignorant about the Israel-Palestine conflict but is eager to make public anti-Jewish statements under the guise of deliberation.
Meanwhile, a legitimate rabbi within Bush’s district weighed in on the matter, expressing disappointment in the Democratic lawmaker.
Rabbi Susan Talve, the founding rabbi of the Central Reform Congregation, criticized Bush for displaying a lack of understanding regarding Israel and Palestine.
She lamented this lack of understanding during her conversation with the New York Post.
