The Democrat party is now home to the the country’s worst antisemites. I have long said the Democrats are the party of jihad and Jew-hatred, eliciting the well-worn catcalls and caterwauling of the left-wing smear merchants and goosestepping trolls. But no matter how silky smooth the silver-tongued snakes are, reality keeps breaking through. The Democrats’ vicious Jew-hatred is increasingly on display. The party of treason is home to the Jew-haters and racists.
“Ilhan Omar’s Election Shows Democrats Aren’t Interested In Confronting Anti-Semitism,” by David Harsanyi, The Federalist, November 14, 2018:
Ilhan Omar, one of the first of two Muslim women to be elected to Congress, is a new kind of politician. She’s telegenic. Ideologically progressive. Widely celebrated by a media that’s obsessed with identity politics. She’s the kind of politician who can openly side with Hamas against Israel or spread “Protocols of Zion”-style conspiracies on Twitter, claiming that Jews possess the supernatural ability to hypnotize the world as they unfurl their “evil.”
Story continues below advertisementIt’s not surprising, then, that Omar also supports the “boycott, divestment and sanctions” movement (BDS). In a statement to the website Muslim Girl (later confirmed elsewhere), someone on Omar’s staff explains that, yes, “Ilhan believes in and supports the BDS movement, and has fought to make sure people’s right to support it isn’t criminalized. She does however, have reservations on the effectiveness of the movement in accomplishing a lasting solution.”
So, although Omar contends that BDS will be ineffective in getting the sides to “a lasting solution,” she stills “believes in and supports” a movement that smears the Jewish state as a racist endeavor and aims to destroy it economically. It’s a mystery, is it not, why some Jews might find that positioning offensive?
Omar has supported BDS for a while, even though she will now occasionally slip in some platitudes about the peace process. As Scott Johnson of Power Line (who’s been following this story from the beginning) points out, Omar misled Jewish voters in her district, obfuscating about her position and, as she still does, conflating her support for BDS with a bill that would have stopped continued taxpayer funding of the movement. No one is attempting to “criminalize” anti-Israel speech, although it’s heartening to see Omar is a free-speech absolutist. We’ll see if her position on the “criminalization” of speech will remain consistent moving forward, and not reserved for supporters of Hamas.
As far as I know, not even former congressman Keith Ellison, who once accused the shifty Jews of running American foreign policy, openly supported the BDS movement. Not even J-Street, the progressive front for hard-left activists posing as Israel supporters, openly backed BDS. Nor does George Soros, although he has intermittently funded BDS groups in the past and has been active against the Jewish state for years.
Of course, BDS proponents will tell you they are anti-Zionist, not anti-Semitic. But when you’re fixated on the only liberal state in the Middle East, and avoid criticism of any Islamic regimes that deny their own citizens the most basic of human rights, you, at the very least, betray a morally bankrupt position. Even as Hamas rains hundreds of rockets down on civilians—a nihilistic project that always takes precedent over investing in their own people in their own autonomous Palestinian territory—there is criticism from those who only see evil behind Jewish acts of self-defense.
It’s no mistake that Omar insists Israel is an “apartheid regime,” an ugly, simplistic, misleading, and irresponsible accusation. It’s not only the propellant for anti-Semitism on campuses across the country, it’s the foundational accusation of the BDS movement, which is attempting to recreate the campaign against racist South African apartheid in the 1980s.
Israel’s laws, of course, make absolutely no distinctions based on a person’s race. Every person in Israel has the ability to participate in the democratic process, and all have equal standing under the law. Muslims in Israel have more liberal rights than Muslims anywhere in the Arab world do. What we do have is a complex situation involving one-time Jewish land that once again fell under Israeli rule after a bunch of neighboring countries tried to destroy it….

Minnesota Jews voted for Omar … after being told before the election that she was pro-Israel and anti-BDS. Surprised?
Of course Muslims lie. It is condone in the Koran. These Jews are idiots and JINO
But the electorate in Minnesota’s 5th CD didn’t see it that way. Feel good politics, not truth, won them over to Omar.
Thanks for JINO!
a muslim lies you say?
So none of these Jews took the initiative to do a little research, just blindly vote for any D on the ballot? How can smart people be so dumb. Grrrrr!
As Goethe stated, “There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.”
Maybe because they are all anti-Semites. This proves they really are all Demoncraps. The party of traitors and liars like their father – SATAN.
They try to destroy you before you are even born. They would love to see everyone of you dead! Unsuccessfool in that they love to see you DISARMED.
They only have YOUR DEATH in mind.
Nailed it.
Amen.
This is because the Democrats Party is bought and paid for by muslim zealots and communists.
Jews are just another one of their bitches of a voting block.
The liberal jew is a cursed group. They will vote for those that would flood their land with invaders. The old testament if full of Stories of liberal leadership destroying Isreal again and again.
Sadly, the Jew whose true religion is liberalism does not read tho O.T. Too busy reading the memoirs of Clinton and Obama.
Following their false idols. Some even let their children pass through the fire.
Yeah, I recently have discovered that non-orthodox don’t regard the O.T. as being much of a holy book, it’s only interesting literature.
American government is making muslims the new protected class. They are bringing an end to our country.
Not one Democrat party leader condemns the unbridled antisemitism from the gobs of the party’s representatives; they are one of the same. Jews, once again are fair game, the closet anti-Semites are free from the decades of festering Jew-Hatred. It is the Democrats’, the so-called Progressives’ to remain silent or in accord with the anti-Semitic/Israel scourge. History may be repeating itself; many stayed silent in Germany with the mandating of the Nuremberg Laws. The West, the EU is of the Hitler’s inhumane, anti-Jew worldview; one perceives, this Republic is following suit.
Liberals Democrats, and Muslims are so anti-Christian, anti-Semitic. Because they are inferior and project a
low self esteem, they are so similar, that they try to bring Jews and Christians down to their level. When lawsuits and name calling aren’t effect, the Libmocrats import Blood thirsty Muslims for mass extermination and illegals from across the southern border to assist with the individual serial killings and transport illegal drugs to help fund their campaigns and to pad their retirement accounts.
Just saying.
We must all fight against hate and discrimination against Jews and Israel ! The left too easily takes up the causes of the Nazis amoungst us and alines with Islamism. Why the left has moved this direction I’m not sure, but the left is embracing communism, Nazism and Islamism world wide. We are heading towards another world war !
