“But Bernie Sanders is Jewish”, so people kept telling me, but he has said borderline things which should cause Jewish people to blush. Yet, today, he will boycott Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech to Congress. In fact, many elected Democrat officials are doing the same (https://www.perplexity.ai/search/how-many-members-of-congress-r-BN28nlsXQcON5qSFEQS4rA#1)
I am stunned. Too often calling Democrats out for their antisemitism is somehow taboo. Just a few years ago, the banner shown below was criticized as inappropriate (https://connecticut.news12.com/political-sign-appears-to-show-donkeys-with-swastikas-in-southbury). But October 7th happened.
Perhaps the story is an old one, but Democrats are now split on supporting Israel (https://www.axios.com/2023/12/14/antisemitism-vote-harvard-mit-house-democrats and https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/left-faces-reckoning-israel-divides-democrats-rcna120076 ).
Polling shows Democrats are far more likely to blame Israel for the ongoing conflict with Arabs compared to the general public (https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2023/12/08/americans-views-of-the-israel-hamas-war/).
To add to the problem, Kamala Harris will not attend Netanyahu's speech to Congress. Let us just call Harris, Queen Hitler (https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/4789077-kamala-harris-benjamin-netanyahu-address/).
Ben Shapiro is doing numerous takes on Harris, and this video is a beginning. More to come from Shapiro.
