DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS REVEAL THEIR ANTI-SEMITISM

[Earl]

"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is "taken aback" by the growing dissent and anger among rank-and-file Democrats over a possible resolution to formally condemn anti-Semitism, a Democratic source told Fox News on Wednesday -- highlighting Pelosi's tenuous grip on control over the House and underscoring the growing power of the party's nascent far-left progressive wing.

Pelosi even reportedly walked out of a meeting Wednesday with Democrat House members, setting down her microphone and telling attendees, “Well if you're not going to listen to me, I’m done talking."

The stalled resolution originated after freshman Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, for at least the second time in recent months, ignited an uproar for echoing tropes critics have deemed anti-Semitic. In February, she suggested on Twitter that supporters of Israel have been bought. The congresswoman then accused American supporters of Israel of pushing people to have “allegiance to a foreign country.”

Omar -- who also tweeted in 2012 that "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel" -- refused to address questions on Wednesday about accusations that she’s anti-Semitic."

I am reminded of Orwell's 1984, ... where the children had more power than the adults.

Wonderful to hear the Nazis everywhere accusing people of anti-semitism! Good old Goebbels: if you're going to lie, make it HUGE!

The Socialist Democrat Party is now the party of hate.

The virulent Antisemitism in the House will not serve them well in 2020.

For my understanding, in your world view there is no such thing as anti-semitism correct? Or is there no such thing as liberal anti-semitism? Or am I mistaken?

I don't know many liberals. There is obviously anti-Semitism, especially amongst Zionist storm-troopers, who detest traditional Jewry. Hitler put the stoppers on the eugenic bilge everywhere else except America.

2020 Democrats normalize anti-Semitism by defending Ilhan Omar
by Philip Klein
| March 06, 2019

"Democrats seeking the party's 2020 presidential nomination are starting to come out in defense of Rep. Ilhan Omar, and in the process, they are normalizing anti-Semitism.

Leading Democratic candidates Sens. Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren have all come out defending Omar and pointing fingers at her critics, despite a series of statements she has made targeting American Jews.

Omar has been unrepentant over statements she made lamenting the influence of Jewish money in politics and questioning whether Jews were more loyal to Israel than America. The bigoted statements perpetuated classic anti-Semitic stereotypes, but that is now what's considered acceptable in the Democratic Party— as long as it gets subsequently laundered as mere criticism of Israel."

Even tho Jews & Blacks only make up 1-2% of the Welsh pop., ... Iolo claims to live in a Black neighborhood and half his friends are Jews.

"In a later email to The Press, Mr. Zeldin continued to condemn House Democrats and Ms. Omar. He wrote, “It’s crazy that House Democrats are elevating a Member of Congress to oversee U.S. foreign policy who has advocated for leniency of ISIS fighters, has been the highest profile U.S. government defender recently of Venezuelan President Maduro, supports the BDS movement targeting Israel, and has tweeted out ‘Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.’”

“House Democrats should not be empowering those positions and that rhetoric,” he went on. “This month, the House of Representatives nearly unanimously condemned White Supremacy and Rep. Steve King was stripped of his committee seats. Why won’t Democrats take similar action with the hate in their ranks? Instead, they give it a larger voice and greater platform, which is unacceptable.”

He had also attacked her in a previous tweet on January 17 when she joined the House Foreign Affairs Committee, in which he said that Democrats are empowering anti-Semitic and anti-Israel sentiments by giving her a seat. Additionally, Mr. Zeldin has been promoting a new resolution condemning anti-Semitism that calls out Ms. Omar by name."

It appears now that the Democrats won't call out Ms. Omar by name...or at all.

I think both her comments were exaggerated. Regarding the notion that supporters of Israel have been bought, that's not universally true. Although Israel does throw a lot of money around to bolster political support in the US, including through AIPAC, there are doubtless many supporters who haven't taken any of that money, so it's too broad a brush to use. Similarly, while some supporters of Israel do, in fact, see themselves as having a measure of allegiance to it (including not an unsubstantial number of Americans who have dual citizenship with Israel), it's quite possible to support Israel on particular issues without that kind of allegiance, just as it's possible to support any other country.

However, even though her comments were both unwise and unfair is it correct to say they were antisemitic? They were unfair comments about supporters of Israel, not about Jews. In fact, I'd wager that the majority of people she'd apply her comments to aren't Jews (and the majority freaking out about her comments are Jews). This is a criticism of supporters of a particular state.

Think of it this way: if a Republican suggested that supporters of Venezuela have been paid off, or that they have an allegiance to a foreign country, would that be anti-Hispanic? When Trump is accused of taking money from Russia and having an allegiance to them, is that anti-Russian Orthodox Church? If Trump bashes Democrats for being too soft on Iran, in similar terms, does that amount to anti-Muslim rhetoric? It doesn't make sense to take a criticism of a nation and its supporters, fair or unfair, as a bigoted attack on some racial/ethnic/religious group in that nation.
