The problem of creeping anti-Semitism within the Democratic Party
Antisemitism is hostility to, prejudice, or discrimination against Jews. A person who holds such positions is called an antisemite. Antisemitism is generally considered to be a form of racism.

As many already know the "Women's March" group has run into some difficulty recently and this time it's not simply about excluding pro-life women. Tamika Mallory, the group's co-president, proclaimed “Thank God this man is alive and well, he is definitely the Greatest Of All Time.”   Who was she referring to? None other than Louis Farrakhan who is an anti-Semite in addition to being an anti-white black supremacist. When asked about denouncing Farrakhan's aniti-semitic remarks (anti-white is ok), she refused to formally denounce him.

Then we have the group's organizer, the infamous Linda Sarsour who says:   "You can’t be a feminist if you are a Zionist." She also has given guidance to other Muslims "Never humanize Isr aelis"

I don't use unnamed sources, but there is another (Carmen Perez) who supposedly told Jewish women they were not welcome.


We also have a new class of democrats in the House of Representatives.First and foremost is the rep from the refugee state of Minnesota (thank you Barak), Ilhan Omar. In 2012, she had this to say: "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel". Recently, she posted a tweet about Lindsey Graham, saying, "They got to him, he is compromised." What one could interpret as an anti-homosexual remark, has been in fashion, recently by the left,to refer to Graham this way.

Graham's response: "She wants to live her life that way, that's up to her". "She knows zero about me. To the extent that it matters, I'm not gay."

So,you might ask, what did Speaker Pelosi do about all this?

Pelosi gave her a coveted seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. 


As I have said before, the democratic party continues to be the party of "identity politics", victimization, redistribution and as it has always been throughout it's long history, the party of grievance.

It should also be noted that Chuck Schumer has prevented a vote on a bill that supports Israel by allowing state and local governments to divest from entities that boycott, divest from, or sanction Israel because of its occupation of the West Bank (known as S.1 in the US Senate). The bill is one that he helped sponsor, but it is highly doubtful that dems in the House would pass it. The excuse Schumer is using is one of protest for the government shutdown.

Trump is off topic

Unless Israel is an ethnically pure Jewish state, the protest of the policies of a political state of Israel is not antisemitic.  Are you aware that there are almost as many Jews in the US as there are in Israel?

On Jews

“To the members of the Jewish community that don’t like me, thank you very much for putting my name all over the planet because of your fear of what we represent. I can go anywhere in the world and they've heard of Farrakhan. Thank you very much.”

“I'm not mad at you because you're so stupid,” Farrakhan continued. “So when they talk about Farrakhan, call me a hater, you do what they do, call me an anti-Semite. Stop it, I’m anti-Termite.”

“Satanic Jews have infected the whole world with poison and deceit.”

Sermon, 5/27/18

“The Jews have control over those agencies of government.  When you want something in this world, the Jew holds the door.”

“Powerful Jews are my enemy.”

Saviour’s Day Speech, 2/25/18

“Jews were responsible for all of this filth and degenerate behavior that Hollywood is putting out, turning men into women and women into men…. White folks are going down. And Satan is going down. And Farrakhan, by God’s grace, has pulled a cover off of that Satanic Jew, and I’m here to say your time is up, your world is through.  You good Jews better separate because the satanic ones will take you to   hell   with them because that’s where they are headed.”

Saviour’s Day Speech, 2/25/18

“It is now becoming apparent that there were many Israelis and Zionist Jews in key roles in the 9/11 attacks.  Israelis had foreknowledge of the attacks...  We know that many Jews received a text message not to come to work on September 11”

Saviour’s Day Speech, 2015

"They [the Jews] are the greatest controllers of Black minds, Black intelligence. They write the scripts -- the foolish scripts on television that our people portray. They are the movie moguls that feature us in these silly, degrading, degenerate roles. The great recording companies that portray our people in such a filthy and low-rating way, yet they would not allow such a man as Michael Jackson to say one word that they thought would besmirch their reputation, but they put us before the world as clowns and as purveyors of filth. No, I will fight that."

Meet The Press interview, 10/18/98

"Of course, they [the Jews] have a very small number of people but they are the most powerful in the world, they have the power to do good and they have the power to do evil...Now what do the Jews do best? Well, they have been the best in finance that the world has ever known...They finance a lot of stuff in the world, and there's nothing wrong with that, but they are not good politicians, they are the worst politicians because they don't recognize really their friends and as well their enemies..."

Saviours' Day Speech, Chicago, 2/22/98

"I believe that for the small numbers of Jewish people in the United States, they exercise a tremendous amount of influence on the affairs of government...Yes, they exercise extraordinary control, and Black people will never be free in this country until they are free of that kind of control..."

Meet The Press interview, 4/14/97

"To continue to point out the truth of that control and how that control never will allow us to be full and completely men, free, justified, and equal. Why should we be controlled by the power, influence, and money of others? We should not be under that kind of control...going to Jewish philanthropists, begging them for money to support our causes, and through that money, there is control, and that kind of control limits the freedom of our people to speak freely, write freely, think freely, and act as free men..."

Meet The Press interview, 4/14/97

"And you do with me as is written, but remember that I have warned you that Allah will punish you. You are wicked deceivers of the American people. You have sucked their blood. You are not real Jews, those of you that are not real Jews. You are the   synagogue   of Satan, and you have wrapped your tentacles around the U.S. government, and you are deceiving and sending this nation to hell. But I warn you in the name of Allah, you would be wise to leave me alone. But if you choose to crucify me, know that Allah will crucify you."

"I don't own Hollywood. Who depicted Black people? Who writes the books? Who writes the plays, the songs that make us look less than human?

Mentioning National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin and presidential advisor Rahm Emanuel, Farrakhan said, "Every Jewish person that is around the president is a dual citizen of Israel and the United States of America...And sometimes, we have to raise the question, 'Are you more loyal to the state of Israel than you are to the best interests of the United States of America.'"

News conference at the National Press Club, 10/19/98

"I look at Lucianne Goldberg, Linda Tripp, Monica Lewinsky, and I ask myself, 'Why was this introduced at this time when Netanyahu was being pressured by the president to give up more land on the   West Bank ,'...I think we need to look deeper into this than just what appears on the surface."

Speech at the District Council 33 Union Hall,
Philadelphia, PA, 4/22/96

"How did we get into World War II? You say Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Yes, they did, but what were the forces that created in Japan the desire or the need to force them to attack America? You don't know that. But when America went to war after the attack on Pearl Harbor, she had to borrow money. There were the international bankers again. They financed all sides. And how many millions of Americans lost their lives? Suppose Hitler was trying to destroy the international bankers controlling Europe, but he went about it by attacking a whole people. All Jews are not responsible for the evil of the few who do evil...But certain Jews have used   Judaism   as a shield."

"German Jews financed Hitler right here in America...International bankers financed Hitler and poor Jews died while big Jews were at the root of what you call the Holocaust...Little Jews died while big Jews made money. Little Jews [were] being turned into soap while big Jews washed themselves with it. Jews [were] playing violin, Jews [were] playing music, while other Jews [were] marching into the gas chambers..."

That claim would be true but only if all Jews agreed with the policies of the government of Israel. Netanyahu is not popular at home and would not be re-elected, so criticism of the Likud party is not anti-semitic.  

Recent polls showed a decline in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s popularity, although he uses every platform to talk about his political and security achievements.

Netanyahu, who is also Minister of Defense, appears almost daily with soldiers on the border in the occupied Golan Heights or on the borders of Lebanon or around the Gaza Strip.

In the new poll, a total of 58 percent said they were either “unsatisfied” or “very unhappy” with the prime minister’s performance.

Only 7 percent of respondents said they were “very happy” with Netanyahu as defense minister while a further 26 percent said they were “satisfied.” Conversely, 25 percent said they were “unsatisfied” and 33 percent said they were “very unhappy.”

Vic,

You kind of got that wrong about Chuck Schumer. He is supporting a bill that would make boycott, divest and sanction a Felony:

The bill’s original sponsor, Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.), is pushing Democratic leadership to include this bill, which has not moved forward thus far primarily because it  violates  the First Amendment. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) are reportedly leaning toward slipping the text into the spending bill, which needs to pass for the government to stay open.

The ACLU is against this as a freedom of speech issue.

And most important of all House democrats probably won't support it. The subject of the article is the real reason that those freshman democrats would be against it. Thus people like Schumer are worried about the "optics"

As far as what the ACLU says, Aryeh Spero has them pegged perfectly:

"Any neutral observer can't help but see the blatant selectivity groups such as the ACLU use when deciding whose 'rights' are worthy of defense, concerned, apparently, not for ordinary law-abiding citizens but mostly the hardened criminals, illegal aliens and, now, terrorists. The Non-American Civil Liberties Union is a more apt description of their mission."

American Jews who vote Democratic these days, considering the direction that party is heading, either never knew or ignore Santayana's statement about ignoring history - and what happens when you do.  I would venture to say that most of the Jews who vote Democratic are younger than those who were alive during WW2.  Frank Zappa may have written "It can't happen here" but then look at the increase in antisemitism and who''s going to stop it?  Not the ACLU - "FREE SPEECH" eh?  

Ever wonder about the the fact that the German Jews of the 1930s simply didn't believe what was happening and how much worse it was going to become?

JEWISH WORLD: ANTI-IMMIGRANT AND WHITE SUPREMACIST, MAYBE. BUT IS THE ALT-RIGHT ANTI-SEMITIC?

Some excerpts:

Did Trump use anti-Semitic imagery against Clinton. (photo credit: TWITTER)

512

“You can have some of the ideas of the alt-right, which is anti-immigration, anti-multiculturalism and anti-globalism, without it being anti-Semitic,” said Marilyn Mayo, who tracks the alt-right at the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism. “However, a good deal of the people who are talking about the ideology of white identity, white culture, focus on Jews as part of a problem for them.”

The Non-American Civil Liberties Union is a more apt description of their mission."

The ACLU sees this a free speech issue.

The ACLU has long opposed the Israel Anti-Boycott Act through its multiple iterations because the bill would make it a crime to participate in political boycotts protected by the First Amendment. Now, the bill’s sponsors are attempting to avoid public scrutiny by including the bill’s unconstitutional criminal penalties in must-pass legislation scheduled for a vote just days before Congress’ holiday recess — likely because it will be harder to pass in the new Congress.

Earlier versions of the Israel Anti-Boycott Act would have made it a crime — possibly even subject to jail time — for American companies to participate in political boycotts aimed at Israel and its settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories when those boycotts were called for by international governmental organizations like the United Nations. The same went for boycotts targeting any country that is “friendly to the United States” if the boycott was not sanctioned by the United States.

Last week, the ACLU saw an updated version being considered for inclusion in the spending bill (though this text is not publicly available). While Hill offices claim the First Amendment concerns have been resolved, and potential jail time has indeed been eliminated as a possible punishment, the bill actually does nothing to cure its free speech problems. Furthermore, knowingly violating the bill could result in criminal financial penalties of up to $1 million. Were this legislation to pass, federal officials would have a new weapon at their disposal to chill and suppress speech that they found objectionable or politically unpopular.

I didn't realize the ACLU was SO partisan and biased until I clicked your "opposed" link. That organization is a bastion of FREE SPEECH and the First Amendment?  If that's so, why is it that they don't defend anyone from being called an Islamophobe when they are justly critical of Islamic terrorism, FGM, honour killings, etc.

You don't get it. The ACLU defends all speech even speech that offends. The SPLC regularly defends racist, sexist, homophobic, you name it free expression. Besides, anyone who is constantly being accused of being racist, sexist, islamaphobic etc etc just may actually be racist, sexist, Islamaphobic etc etc. Kind of like the SPLC is falsely accused of hating on the hate groups they identify, track and certify. You cannot make everyone happy. Free speech sometimes, see often, offends someone. In my opinion, anyone who would accuse the vast majority of American Jews of being antisemetic for simply using their own capable brains to determine they support the Democrats Party is themselves antisemetic. That is free speech. Just as you may freely and legally express Islamaphobic opinions so others may also note your Islamaphobia...

In the USA we have free speech and besides that you was a generic you. In any case, much of what you say in your NT comment and much of what you seed on NT is Islamaphobic. Also, I find it personally offensive every single time that you have accused the vast majority of American Jews who are Democrats of being antisemetic. Now that, is really offensive to me. If you can dish it out you need to learn to take it. You may say the awful things you do about the Democratic leadership in our Congress. Try dissing the leadership of China the way you do American Jewish leadership like Chuck Schumer, Diane Feinstein, Michael Blumenthal and Bernie Sanders and then just see how that ends you...

If Jews support BDS, and in my opinion BDS is antisemitic, then in my opinion it is a logical conclusion that they are either knowingly or UNknowingly being antisemitic.  Take note of what Canada's Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau recently said about BDS:

To support his case, Trudeau pointed to the so-called "Three Ds" test for separating criticism of the Jewish state and anti-Semitism: demonization, double standards, and delegitimization of Israel.

"When you have movements like BDS that single out Israel, that seek to delegitimize and in some cases demonize, when you have students on campus dealing with things like Israel apartheid weeks that make them fearful of actually attending campus events because of their religion in Canada, we have to recognize that there are things that aren't acceptable, not because of foreign policy concerns but because of Canadian values," Trudeau said.

The ACLU is completely non-partisan because they don't take part in political elections or give voting endorsements. 

If that's so, why is it that they don't defend anyone from being called an Islamophobe when they are justly critical of Islamic terrorism, FGM, honour killings, etc.

You just proved that you don't get it. The core mission of the ACLU is to defend the rights in the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution. They do not defend people.  They don't not issue hate crime lists or other activities of groups like the SPLC.  The ACLU is prohibited by their  mission statement from acting as a criminal or civil defense attorney in a court of law.

The American Jewish Community overwhelmingly supports Democrats today...

Why? Because Jews tend to not support intolerant racist sexist homophobes. Jews tend to not support self proclaimed White Nationalists aka modern day Nazis. American Jews are smart enough to know who is really on their side and who thinks, "There are good people on both sides". That is why American Jews are mostly liberal Democrats. That is why each and every one of the eight Jewish US Senators are ALL DEMOCRATS. Every single one of them. The gop only values Jews and Israel as pawns to be sacrificed in their apocalyptic end times wet dreams...

"The times they are a'changing" (Bob Dylan)

1.  Not needing Jewish money and votes any longer, Obama stabs Israel in the back at the UN, the first president to do so for how many years?

2.  Trump is the president most supportive of Israel for decades, has done what previous presidents didn't have the balls to do notwithstanding the intent of the government was always there.

3.  Starting with Ellison having been temporarily being appointed (although he later resigned) second in command of the Democratic Party, declared Israel-bashing BDS supporters are now being elected as American lawmakers.

How Jews can vote Democratic, notwithstanding their liberal bent, taking into consideration what is actually happening, and in light of rising antisemitism, is beyond my comprehension.

He switched parties not long before he ran for president, under the republican banner IMO he dd that because the republican party was much more devided at the time by the tea party people.
