Better the devil you know — with the resignation of Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) amid major federal indictments for fraud, the way for an anti-Israel candidate has opened.

McCormick resigned rather than face expulsion, and her primary opponent, Elijah Manley — who led her in one poll — is running as a Democratic Socialist. The 27-year-old is also Black, gay and a convert to Judaism, ticking off three minority boxes. His victory is all but assured in the heavily Democratic 20th Congressional District in Florida.

Manley came to Judaism through his experience as a member of the LGBT community. He felt completely accepted and welcome in Jewish spaces and in 2020 announced his intention to convert.

“Just want to announce that I have been fully converting to Judaism since last year,” he wrote. “Haven’t really announced it before except in some lefty groups, because I’m not all that religious and don’t need to tell everyone. However, I find so much comfort as an LGBT person here.”

Manley now describes himself as Jewish.

The activist, who has never held public office before, has fiercely criticized Israel, attracting the endorsement of anti-Israel groups.

“The starvation and blockade of humanitarian aid by Israel must cease immediately,” he posted on X last year. “It is in violation of international law. Children in Gaza are starving and we must not be silent.”

Manley dismissed concerns about antisemitism, taking it upon himself to decide on the boundaries of anti-Jewish hate and to scold Jews and Israel defenders.

“idk why people act like Israel is above criticism and act cultishly about it,” he posted in 2023.

“This is a good time to remind your friends that Jews are not Israel and Israel is not Jews,” he wrote that year as well. “It’s also a good time to remember that Jews are not a monolith. People are not their governments. Any other suggestion is antisemitic.”

At least he doesn’t support the Oct. 7 attack, condemning Hamas as a terror organization but also denouncing the Netanyahu government for its actions in Gaza.

Black, gay, Jewish? No problem. Anti-Israel, Democratic Socialist? AIPAC has a lot of work to do.
