“Rising tide” of anti-Jewish discrimination in the Democrat Party? Ever since Jerusalem and God got booed back in 2012 at the Democrat Convention, it seems the Jew-hatred in the Dem Party has been more of an avalanche.
Here is my suggestion for dealing with this problem in the Democrat Party:
#WalkAway
A liberal women’s rights group is calling on the Democratic National Committee to adopt an official definition of antisemitism to combat a “rising tide” of anti-Jewish discrimination in the party.
In a petition launched…and signed by some 120 people, Women’s March For All (WMFA) warned that antisemitism — “often cloaked as anti-Zionism” — “has now become a serious problem in liberal movements worldwide,” including in Canada and the United Kingdom.
The group was formed as an offshoot of the 2017 Women’s March on Washington, after the movement’s leaders — Tamika Mallory, Linda Sarsour, and Carmen Perez — came under fire in March for their praise of Louis Farrakhan, the Nation of Islam leader who has railed against “Satanic Jews” and been accused of sharing misogynistic, homophobic, and transphobic views….
“Being anti-Zionist is inherently anti-Semitic if the person claiming to be anti-Zionist is not against self-determination for any other oppressed group,” the WMFA petition read. “If one supports Palestinian self-determination, or Armenian self-determination, or Kurdish self-determination, but not Jewish self-determination (Zionism), that would be antisemitic.”
It warned that some candidates from the edges of the Democratic Party “have made horrible and libelous remarks about Jews and Israel,” including Maria Estrada — who accused Israel of “genocide” and expressed support for Farrakhan — and Leslie Cockburn, who wrote a book that a New York Times reviewer said suggests that Israel is “somewhere behind just about everything that ails us.”
Also identified are Julia Salazar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, two candidates affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America, which supports the boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel — a Palestinian-led movement whose co-founder has rejected the notion that Jewish people have a right to national self-determination….
Good start. Needs much more to return Democrat Party back to liberalism from leftism.
Near as I can tell, this is the Dems platform for 2018;
1) Against 2A,
2) Against 1A freedom of religion and freedom of speech,
3) Blame Nazis (Trump supporters),
4) Blame The Jewsss,
5) For masked goons, and
6) For, shhhh, (socialism).
2020 is going to make Chicago 68 look like a picnic.
As a child, I saw most of the 1968 convention. I even saw a Republican ad showing some of the fireworks, with the caption, “How can a party that can’t unite itself, unite the country?” I could not gainsay that.
Martin Luther King said similar in a letter. He said that he who is anti-Zionist, is also anti-Semitic.
