Florida’s primaries have many pain points for Jews. Here are 5 races to watch

Florida's primaries on Tuesday feature several key races impacting the Jewish community, amidst political turmoil including Republican-led redistricting. On the Republican side, two races highlight internal party conflicts. James Fishback, a gubernatorial candidate, has drawn concern for embracing far-right figures and using coded antisemitic phrases like “goyslop,” which he defended as “funny. Get a life.” Despite low polling, his performance, especially among youth, is being closely watched. In the 6th District, incumbent Rep. Randy Fine, a hardline pro-Israel Jew, faces Dan Bilzerian, who promotes antisemitic conspiracy theories and has called Fine a “fat Jew.” This race has seen inflammatory rhetoric and accusations of antisemitism. On the Democratic side, Rep. Jared Moskowitz, a pro-Israel incumbent, is challenged by anti-Zionist democratic socialist Oliver Larkin in a redrawn district. Moskowitz has accused Larkin of fomenting antisemitism, a claim the South Florida Sun Sentinel editorial board rated “demonstrably untrue.” Larkin has called Israel a “religious supremacist” country and supports an arms embargo.
