Frost had formerly participated in pro-Palestine activism, signing pledges with the Florida Palestine Network (FPN) and the Palestinian Feminist Pledge, calling for support of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel, ending military aid to Israel, and rejecting the conflation of anti-Zionism with antisemitism.{{Cite web |title=How Florida progressive Maxwell Frost courted Palestinians, then abandoned them |url=https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/how-florida-progressive-maxwell-frost-abandoned-palestine |access-date=2022-12-12 |website=Middle East Eye|date=29 August 2022 |language=en}} In early August 2022, the Jewish news website Jewish Insider published a candidate questionnaire from Frost's congressional campaign that showed a shift in Frost's foreign policy positions on Israel and Palestine.
