The Democrat Party: The New Anti-Semitism Party — Presidential Hopefuls Warren, Booker, Gillibrand Come Out Against Anti-BDS Bill

29

Warren, Booker, Gillibrand — it’s not them — it’s the party. It’s not possible to be on the left today and support Israel. You have to support the “Palestinian” jihad, and turn a blind eye to the savage murder of innocent civilians, including families eating Shabbat dinner and sleeping in their beds. The Democrats: the New Evil Party.

“Elizabeth Warren Comes Out Against Senate’s Anti-BDS Bill,” by David Colon, Gothamist, August 8, 2017:

As debate continues to rage over the Israel Anti-Boycott Act, and one rumored 2020 presidential candidate distances herself from it, another prominent Democrat and rumored presidential candidate has come out against it as well. Senator Elizabeth Warren announced her opposition to the bill this week, calling it a violation of free speech.

Warren, who was never a sponsor of the bill, was asked about it by a constituent at a town hall last night. In response, she said that while she disagreed with BDS, she also said that “outlawing free speech-protected activity violates our basic constitution.”

The bill is an addition to the Export Act of 1979, which criminalized a company knowingly joining the Arab League boycott of Israel. This addition would update the bill to criminalize US companies from joining on to boycotts of US allies called for by intergovernmental organizations such as the United Nations or the European Union. Violations could be punishable by up to $1 million in fines and 20 years in prison.

Besides Warren, other Democratic Senators are feeling the heat regarding the bill as well. Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon was confronted by constituents this past weekend who questioned why he supported the bill. Wyden argues that the bill simply updates the previous 1979 law targeting the Arab League boycott of Israel, and that no one has been imprisoned for violating that.

While supporters of the law like Wyden and Chuck Schumer claim that the bill doesn’t infringe on free speech, a critic of the bill suggests that it still does, even if it doesn’t punish individuals participating in the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement….

“Democrats Who Want to Be President Back Away from Israel,” by Jonathan S. Tobin, National Review, August 7, 2017:

The shift to the left by Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York demonstrates the power of a party base that is abandoning the Jewish state.

Both were once rock-solid supporters of Israel. But both have other priorities these days — they are thinking about running for president in 2020. Their problem is that no one who plans to compete in future Democratic primaries can ignore the growing power of their party’s left wing, which has grown increasingly hostile to Israel.

The influence of the far left is the only thing that might explain why Booker and Gillibrand are presenting themselves to their party’s base as less than fully supportive of Israel. The context for this development is a sea change in the Democratic party that has been taking shape over the past two decades. Where once the Democrats were the lockstep pro-Israel party and Republicans were divided about backing Israel, the parties’ positions are now reversed. Republicans today are nearly unanimous in their enthusiastic support for the Jewish state, and they oppose all measures that endanger its security. Now it is the Democrats who are split, with polls showing that those who identify with the party are far less likely to back Israel than Republicans are.

The left-wing grass roots of the Democratic party are increasingly hostile to Israel, something that became clear in 2012 when the delegates at the Democratic National Convention revolted against their leadership’s efforts to include in the party platform a recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. The delegates booed loudly and rejected the measure in a voice vote while the convention chairman ignored the crowd and declared that the measure had passed. The spectacle was a benchmark moment.

Congressional Democrats also demonstrated the limits of their sympathy for Israel during the debate over the Iran nuclear deal. When President Obama declared that support for the agreement was a litmus test of party loyalty, few Democrats bucked him. Both Gillibrand and Booker supported the deal’s ratification by the backhanded method the administration employed rather than by gaining the support of two-thirds of the Senate – which the Constitution requires for treaties.

In 2016, Democrats growing split over Israel was evident in the Clinton and Sanders campaigns. The candidates disagreed over Israel’s right of self-defense and over support for Palestinian ambitions — one of the few areas where they differed substantively. The Clinton forces were able to quash any potential revolt over the issue, but the presence on the platform committee of Sanders delegates such as Representative Keith Ellison and Cornel West — prominent supporters of anti-Israel measures — was a harbinger of the growing animosity toward Israel….

You are absolutely right, Mossad18. The Democrat-Islamist party will toss Israel unceremoniously under the bus. They are not the party of ‘We the People’ but a collective of bigots in guise as so-called humanitarians. The latter, needless to say, secrets their ruse to eradicate, obviously, the State of Israel, this Constitutional Republic, thus creating a Collectivist State. Unfortunately, they are not as erudite as they assume. In the end, if they do achieve their treacherous objective, they will be the first to feel the well honed blade of Islam.

I truly believe the State of Israel will prevail, perhaps I am gullible or naive. This nation, America, I am not certain, a Civil War is inevitable, it is has begun though in its early stage.

The Democrats were the pro-slavery party back then, some things never change. They tout themselves as the party of We the People, when in fact, they are a aspirant totalitarians. Indeed, we will have to go head-to-head with this anti-Republic scourge and their Islamist allies.

There is nothing shocking said, it is known that the Democrats alliances are not with Israel or this Constitutional Republic. Their base is unabashed bigotry, anti-Semitism/Israel, and the utter loathing of the Constitution. The alliances are as mentioned, Pro-Islam, pro-Rogue States, Iran and others. Their godless diktat is based on proven failures throughout contemporary history, Marxism with an heavy dash of fascism.

The drones of the Leftist-Progressives are basically dullards being led about by the self-anointed intelligentsia or elitists whose perfidy has been facilitated by enablers embedded within this government and its agencies. A prime example, McMaster, however, he unlike others is not subtle regarding his duplicitous betrayal. Islam is not the sole Enemy of the State, there is a myriad of conspirators.

The odious Democrats and their stooges are and will continue to follow the perfidious edict of our former president, whatshisname.

Hey Jews of America-

Given your collective loyalty to the Donkey, I wonder if this generation of Jewish Americans would be as indifferent to the plight of Jews in Israel facing forces seeking their annihilation as your (great?) grandparents were to the Jews of Europe. Would you still support a president- as long as he or she was a Democrat- who would send a couple of thousand Jewish children, who managed to make it the USA, back to a land where their extermination was assured?

I realize some may consider my questions oh-so-crude, lacking the proper nuance with which such questions should be framed. Tough. If it’s any consolation to you, I also wonder if American gentiles would be inclined, given the opportunity, to pull a Vichy number. Surely, we too, even among people with no particular animus, have a fair number of quislings and Petains. Perhaps you’d do well to remember who your grandmother was.

Not all Jews are part of the democratic, Islamo-Nazi supporting cancer! Most Jews in Israel, despise the self loathing, “progressive” JINO’s (Jews In Name Only) that tragically help infect America with their suicidal, multicultural treachery

There are multiple reasons for the Democrat shift away from Israel, but I suspect there are two underlying it:

1. Israel started out as a neo-Socialist entity; over the years, they moved away from that camp into a free-market powerhouse. That’s a fundamental betrayal of the Marxist Faith – and an unforgivable sin.

2. Jews in general, and Israelis in particular, have a very strong sense of peoplehood. They have a distinct identity. Again, to the one-world mentality, this is anathema and must be eradicated lest other peoples resist the great one world utopia (which is why, I opine, the EU is so furious with Poland, Hungary, etc., for resisting the influx of “refugees”; also, why people were so furious at Brexit).

The “progressive”, pro muzlim, globalist cancer, is a million times more dangerous to the free world than 1.6 billion primitive/barbaric/Antisemitic/blood lusting muzlims will ever be…

Effectively, influential progressive/democrats (in politics/the MSM/the bureaucracy [“Deep State”]/Academia/The legal system/big business/Arts & entertainment circles) are far more dangerous to the western way of life than ISIS/Taliban/El-Quida/Boko-Haram/Hizbulla/Hamas/PLO will ever be…

The biggest enemies of the free world are the allies of the Red & Green axis of evil, Islamo-Nazis like the “Muslim Brotherhood” (CAIR etc) / Iran and their collaborators/enablers in the west, the progressive/neo Marxist/globalists, that are dismantling the western civilization, from within

The west/free world dodged a deadly bullet when killery Clinton was defeated by Trump, unfortunately many conservatives are complacent and don’t do enough to support our last chance of surviving this Islamic tidal wave which is facilitated by the progressive traitors, some “conservatives” (John McCain…) are actually supporting the enemy!!

If true Justice would reign, muzlim terror would not hit the innocent but get only the progressive scum that collaborates with the same Islamo-Nazi cretins against the west

The corrupt, apathetic, cowardly, craven scumbags who run Western style democracies can’t be considered friends of Israel or the free world anymore. The only way in which Israel can get an even playing field w/the muslum despots that have bought western style atheist democracies lock, stock and barrel is to have hundreds of MIRV’d, nuclear tipped ICBM’s in hardened silos and the willingness to use them on all comers.
