Evil lurks in the shadows. Why anonymous? Not because they are ashamed or embarrassed of their Jew-hatred, but to give Democrat leaders an out. If the identity of the Congressman was public, Schumer and Pelosi would be under an obligation to speak out (which is what happened when this was tried before by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee).

Congress to Host Anti-Israel Forum, Sparking Outrage on Hill
By Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, May 30, 2017:

Congress is scheduled to host an anti-Israel forum that takes aim at the Jewish state’s military, accusing it of “systematic discrimination” against those living in the “occupied Palestinian territory,” according to an invitation for the event circulating on Capitol Hill that has sparked outrage among pro-Israel lawmakers.
The event, which is sponsored by a member of Congress who has chosen to remain anonymous, will feature several anti-Israel organizations that back boycotts of the Jewish state and distribute propaganda accusing the Israeli military of human rights violations, according to an invitation to the June 8 briefing obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
The event, “50 Years of Israeli Military Occupation & Life for Palestinian Children,” has riled several pro-Israel offices on the Hill and sparked a search for the anonymous lawmaker who has provided the organization space in room 122 of Capitol Hill’s Cannon House Office Building, according to conversations with multiple sources.
A number of anti-Israel groups have attempted to hold briefings on Capitol Hill in the past months, with one group of Israel-boycott backers being forced to cancel a briefing after news of the event spilled into public following a report by the Free Beacon.
That event was sponsored by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D., Texas), who only stepped forward publicly after House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) learned about the forum and demanded it be cancelled.
Sources who spoke to the Free Beacon about Thursday’s event—which is being sponsored by a network of anti-Israel activists and boycott supporters tied to the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America and other Christian groups known for their anti-Israel activism—said that the event seeks to spread anti-Israel propaganda aimed at undermining the Jewish state.
“This event is textbook propaganda aimed to perpetuate anti-Israel falsehoods and misconceptions,” said one senior congressional source familiar with the event and its sponsors.
The member of Congress who is sponsoring the event should publicly step forward and proclaim their support, the source said.
“Any member willing to sponsor this event should do so publicly,” said the official. “Come forward and defend your decision to host this Israel-bashing forum.”
Supporters of these groups are being asked to contact their senators and congressman to “urge them to attend this important briefing to learn more about the struggles of Palestinian children,” according to the event invitation, which further urges activists to ask lawmakers “to work for an end to 50 years of military occupation.”
Groups involved in organizing the event include several advocacy organizations known for their criticism of the Israel Defense Forces, or IDF. They include the Defense for Children International-Palestine and Am
erican Friends Service Committee, which operate an affiliated advocacy group dedicated to accusing the IDF of various crimes against humanity.

Does this anonymous puke really believe that their identity will remain so? This Democrat will be outed. Sick and sad, let’s all go after Trump for bogus Russian connections issues, but ignore the Democrats and their connection to murderous Islam (many connections) and to Communism and other evils.
The very people who called Vietnam Vets “baby killers” are themselves the murderers of millions of babies.

Agreed wholeheartedly. When I returned to SF International in ’71, we were strategically steered away from the hippie demonstrators. We quickly pointed out that we were not the ones in danger of getting hurt.

So bold to attack Jews, yet too cowardly to show his identity.

Surprised that Congressman Keith Ellison (D-Minnesota)
is not in on this as well.

If there’s anything to do with Congress and Islam, you can bet Reps Keith Ellison, and Andre Carson (D-Ind.) will be in on it.

Let’s see – it could be Jackson-Lee, or Connolly of Virginia, or Conyers of Michigan.
I have a hunch, though, that it’s not a “dark horse” – no pun intended.
I’m thinking Steve Cohen of Tennessee, a man of Jewish descent whose hostility to Israel has been unrelenting.

Since CA has the market cornered on stupid women, five will get you then the “usual suspects” are among Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, and Maxine Waters.

To late to go and protest?/ Oh wait you need a permit right?? Plus the media would condemn us as the troublemakers, racists and trying to infringe free speech.
