Warren has made Max Berger her campaign’s director of progressive partnerships. Berger was the co-founder of an anti-Israel group called [[If Not Now]] (INN). In July 2014, Berger and other INN activists were arrested after occupying the lobby of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.  Berger was protesting Israel's efforts to stop rocket attacks. Berger tweeted (but later deleted): “What Israel is doing in Gaza should be familiar to Jews. It’s called a pogrom. You’d think Jews would be against those.”

In April 2014 Berger tweeted: “I dare anyone to visit Hebron and tell me what’s happening there doesn’t look an awful lot like [[apartheid]].” The accusation that Israel is an apartheid state is a classic anti-Semitic canard. That smear is the premise of the BDS movement, which Berger supports.

Berger also defended [[Ilhan Elmi Omar]] and her anti-Semitic colleague, Rep. [[Rashida Tlaib]]. He even wrote a piece in the now bankrupt ''Think Progress'' titled “American Jews must stand with Ilhan Omar.” In the column, he defended Omar’s attacks on American supporters of Israel with the same anti-Semitic tropes, writing that “American politicians of both parties have been afraid to criticize apartheid in Israel and occupation in Palestine for fear of angering pro-Israel lobbying groups and right-wing Evangelical supporters of Israel.”  Berger has also defended Linda Sarsour, tweeting that she “embodies solidarity in a way her Jewish critics do not. #JewsForLinda.”

The Progressive Zionists of California (PZC) have written two letters to Warren’s campaign asking that Berger “step down” from his position.  “He has positioned himself firmly against even the most progressive Zionism, the liberation movement that helps to ensure a safe and secure homeland for the Jewish people while also standing for Palestinian sovereignty and self-determination,” PZC co-founders Susan George and Paul Kujawsky wrote. “We must stress that Berger is not merely criticizing Israel’s policies he deems unfair or unjust–progressive and liberal Zionists do that regularly—Berger is opposing the very existence of Israel as a Jewish state.”<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2019/09/11/warren-mimics-bernies-promotion-anti-semite-linda-sarsour-campaign-surrogate/</ref>

Warren invested in Vanguard Target Retirement 2025—a retirement account run by the Vanguard Group, an investment management company—which in turn invested more than 30 percent of its money in Vanguard's domestic stock index fund. Vanguard was the top shareholder of Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), and one of the largest of GEO Group, both private prison companies, according to data from the [[Securities and Exchange Commission]]. Vanguard owned more than 12 million CCA shares and nearly 9 million GEO Group shares, which were worth roughly $456 million and $216 million, respectively, in March 2013.
