Florida ex-governor hopeful removed after Israel investment protest
A Miami-Dade County meeting was disrupted when James Fischback, a former Florida gubernatorial candidate known for his controversial views, was forcibly removed after protesting the county’s increased investment in Israel-backed bonds. The county recently voted to raise its investment cap in Israel from 3% to 5%, allowing around $400 million to $450 million to be invested, a move Fischback opposed, citing concerns over public funds supporting foreign governments amid the Gaza conflict. Fischback’s opposition reflects his broader stance on U.S.-Israel relations and his criticism of political figures he accedes to prioritize Israel’s interests over local communities.
