Nearly 3 out of 4 college Jewish students report having seen or been the victim of anti-Semitic incidents since the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack on Israel.
… Before the attack, 64% reported feeling that their universities were “welcoming and supportive” of them. That number has dropped to 44%.
Jewish people need to take account of who their friends really are.
HINT: It’s not the Left.
He accidentally told the truth.
But honestly, it’s hard to not understand that the anti-Semite sentiment is almost entirely on the Left.
“While the dead bodies of Jewish Israelis were still warm, while hundreds of Jewish Israelis were being carried as hostages back to Hamas tunnels under Gaza, Jewish Americans were alarmed to see some of our fellow citizens characterize a brutal terrorist attack as justified because of the actions of the Israeli government.”
And who are these people?
Many of the people who have expressed these sentiments in America aren’t neo-Nazis, or card-carrying Klan members, or Islamist extremists. They are in many cases people that most liberal Jewish Americans felt previously were their ideological fellow travelers. [emphasis added]
But of course:
Unfortunately, while Schumer admitted that anti-Semitism is a growing cancer on the political left, he didn’t acknowledge or allude to the anti-Semitic members of his party currently serving in Congress. This calls into question whether Democrats will do anything about the problem.
Uhm, there’s NO question. NOTHING will be done. DUH!
she is just revolting! And on SO many levels. But the anti-semitism is certainly one of her more unlovely traits.
fissures in the Democrat party widen into a gaping chasm? It’s probably too much to hope for such poetic justice and it likely won’t happen.
But it’s a real possibility.
This disturbing appeasement of Hamas shows how intersectional ideology allows for alliances that are more than a little contradictory. For example, take the gay and trans activists making excuses for Hamas. With its Islamist fundamentalist worldview, this terrorist organisation seems an odd match for supporters of postmodern gender politics.
A potential Democratic civil war is now in the offing. Biden’s attempts to placate his left by pushing for a slowdown in Israel’s response are unlikely to please either side.
Yes, this author gave into his compulsion to let his anti-Trump freak flag fly–it seems like a form of political Tourette’s Disorder. But he makes a good point in the Israel issues have a real danger of fracturing the Democrat party.
Yes, it probably won’t happen. But there is a non-zero chance that it will. And it’s not a Lloyd Christmas chance!
good.
OF COURSE she should be censured. Actually, she should be kicked out of the House entirely. Her NAZI views are horribly repugnant to all good sense and human decency and, IMHO, disqualify her from public service.
But I’m under no illusion that THAT will happen. So censure is pretty much the most that is possible, here.
“If this is not worthy of censure, what is? When you can call for the annihilation of a country and its people, if that’s not worthy of a censure, what is?” McCormick said on the House floor Tuesday.
destroying the Democrat party.
Democrats are losing the Gaza War because of four women: Larry Omar, Moe Tlaib, Curly AOC and Shemp Pressley. They are the biggest anti-Semite recruiters in the Democrat Party since Nathan Bedford Forrest formed the KKK.
Good!
Most rational and moral people are just disgusted by “The Squad’s” anti-semitism.
end badly.
Everywhere in the west, the radical left is protesting to support Hamas, despite (or perhaps because) of the latter’s calls to completely destroy the Jews. Meanwhile, Gavin Newsom and California Democrats are disarming law-abiding Jewish American citizens in their synagogues.
No Jewish person should pay a lick of attention to this. Irish Democracy!
supports Hamas. Now, do you justify yourself in supporting these butchers? The Democrat party sure does! Do you support them?
Can you morally justify yourself? If so, don’t be shy–let’s hear how you do it!
Dues this start to change things?
Hollywood celebrities and entertainment executives who are publicly supporting Israel, despite backlash from opponents of Zionism, include Michael Douglas, Liev Schreiber, Amy Schumer, Chris Pine, Jamie Lee Curtis, Gal Gadot, and Liev Schreiber.
the Lefty establishment Lefty people are NOT your friends! Why on earth would you support people who hate you and approve of people killing you? Don’t throw in with the modern-day Hitlers!
Maybe it was once traditional for you to vote Democrat. But things have very much changed. That day is done…
