This is the best summary I could come up with:

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- An event intended to promote healing from antisemitism and hate hosted by Rep. Jamaal Bowman turned heated as demonstrators confronted the congressman, who supports a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas.

Pro-Israel demonstrators gathered at the church in White Plains where Bowman was hosting the healing against hate event.

Many Jewish voters in the 16th congressional district are upset Bowman voted against resolutions to condemn Hamas.

Bowman, a 2nd-term congressman, boycotted the July speech to Congress by Israeli President Herzog and now supports a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war.

"You're calling for some weird cease-fire that won't accomplish anything other than give Hamas, which is basically an ISIS organization, time to regroup and kill more Jews," said Guy Baron, of Scarsdale.

Many Jewish leaders are pushing George Latimer, the popular Westchester County executive, to challenge him in the Democratic primary.

The original article contains 301 words, the summary contains 139 words. Saved 54%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
