The problem of creeping anti-Semitism within the Democratic Party

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"

Linda Sarsour
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."
Ilhan Omar
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
In many ways, the hatred and bigotry of the left makes conservatives look like grade schoolers...
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?
Louis Farrahkan is not opposing policies, he is an anti-Semite
Actually, Farrahkan is a Ku Kluxer of a different stripe.
He is a straight up antisemite.
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.”

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."

"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..."

"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? Do you mean to tell me that Jews have never done any evil to Black people?...Were they not involved in the slave trade? Yes, they were...and to the extent that they were involved, somebody has to bring them to account. And I believe that has fallen on me."

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.'"

"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."

Mosque Maryam, Chicago, 3/19/95
Thank you Perrie. I assume you were directing that at bbl-1.
I think you put every bit of evidence there is into that perfect post. (If Jesse James Decker were a post, that would be it)... It's amazing what effort is sometimes needed to prove the obvious.
There are no "different stripes", a racist is a racist regardless of color. All races/groups are capable of the same sins.
Don't think he likes white folk or Mexicans either. Does he?
You missed my point. They are the same. They just are.
When did I say that I agree with Farakkan?
I am of Mexican American heritage and I agree with him 100%! Your comment shows how little you know!
Know what? That hate, fear and discrimination exist? They are all the same. People being ignorant and hateful to others. The reasons are varied and they are many.
Please refrain from judging my intellect until you've determined your own.
"Agree with him." Your words.
Who? Farrakhan or Vic?
LOL that I have to ask.
I was referring to Vic, not the racist scumbag Farakhan. And my apologies if I offended on the other comment. I was joking. That is why I put the emoji after it.
Untrue as everyone knows. If you use a double standard, such criticism is clearly antisemitism.
When you lot invent this "double standard" it's clearly just the run-o-the-mill attempt to stifle valid criticism.
Is there a difference between him and Trump?
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.
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."
You are assuming it's the optics. Schumer has been a long outspoken member against BDS.
Based on everything I hear Schumer say, yes, I believe he is concerned about the optics - that everyone will see how anti-Semitic the left has become. The hard left is the base he represents. He hammers away at the President every day in an empty Senate chamber in front of TV camera's.
Oh BULL SHIT! Fully 38 of of the 40 Jewish members of the US Congress are Democrats. All 8 Jewish Senators are Democrats and there are only two gop members of congress. If any of the crap you are selling were true this would not be true butt it is true, Vic, it is true...
Do you think 70-80% of American Jews voting Democratic are antisemites?
Marx was an atheist but not antisemitic and everyone was racist then.
That has no relevance to almost all American Jews being Democrats...
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?
These rightwing phonies trying to pretend they haven't always been and still are the anti-semitic racist fascists they've always been is just a smokescreen (failed) to distract us from there support for alt-right white supremacist, neo-nazi virulent anti-semitism and racism we've seen at Charlottesville and many other locations around the country. And it's such a worn-out puerile tactic: the basic "no, you are!!" gambit and, of course, dragging Farrakhan out and repeating the BID LIE (h/t Goebbels) he's a darling of liberals. It's so thin, threadbare, moth-eaten and absurd that you'd think they'd give it up. But, they can't. It's always been all the got.
So THAT's where you get your material. We shoulda known.
One thing is for damn sure. Those stupid muther humping throwback Trump loving punk assholes who were yelling, "Jews will not replace us", in Charlottsville were NOT liberal Democrats. No wonder almost all American Jews are solid Democrats. If you hate everyone who is not another whiteass racist loser or fakeass small c christian Paulist misanthrope then you surely must be a goddamn Republican...
How can you be so sure?
I wish that comment made any sense so I could actually respond to it. WTF are you trying to say?
This is not directed at Atheist, only, but at several on this thread. Yes, his comment was a sweeping generalization, but there have been several such on this thread, some of which were flagged, and some which weren't. Both sides need to knock it off with the sweeping gens.
Well, Scumbag did refer to some "fine people" among the torch bearing group chanting "Jews Will Not Replace Us." Are you suggesting he was giving "democrats" some love?
So would this Jerusalem Post article from 2016 on the anti-semtism of the alt-right be classified as a sweeping generalization?
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)
Nothing in your comment or quote has factual basis.
The Jerusalem Post is deluded? Thanks for revealing something about you that you keep denying.
Just once cite evidence of something or admit to lying.............again.
The ACLU sees this a free speech issue.
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...
Maybe I don't get it exactly the way YOU get it, but having been unfairly accused of being Islamophobic I do take umbrage at your using the word "you" in your last sentence:
Do you intend to report what I wrote to the ACLU and SPLC?.....just as you reported to Pelosi's office the obvious mistake I made about the DeVos yacht.
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:
Offensive or wrongheaded as your words may be you're free to say them.
Well, I believe calling Democratic US Jews antisemetic is antisemetic...
I also believe the current Israeli leadership is ultimately harmful to Israel.
The ACLU is completely non-partisan because they don't take part in political elections or give voting endorsements.
Calling someone an Islamaphobe is protected free speech.
Well if criticizing criminal acts makes one an Islamophobe, then criticizing Netanyahu or whatever Israel does is antisemitism, and calling such a critic an anti-Semite is protected free speech.
I have no reason to diss the leadership of China, it's the least antisemitic country I've ever been in - in fact Jews are not just respected but actually admired here.
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.
Ilhan Omar Was the BEST !
oh.....ummmm….I didn't know my statements would have been seen as ……."Mean Spirited" (Chucky Schumers best go to line)….. and I "DON'T UNDERSTAND" ……... how that would offend anyone .
Major (DUH FACE) on that one !
Right wing rising in Europe, Asia, Middle East, Africa and the US.
And yet, some blame the women? Guffaw.
Oh, no. It must be the "liberals" in those countries........
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...
I was about to vote you up, till you spouted this absolutely bigoted piece of filth.....
I voted him up for you.
What that I wrote do you deny or are you saying the truth is filth to you?
Pavlov was correct. So was his dog.
I agree. Disgusting rhetoric. What else are they hiding inside?
*Edited for accuracy and reality.
"spouted this absolutely bigoted piece of filth....."
A totally racist, bigoted comment
'
So, all you have to do is just tell us you believe that blacks and Jews overwhelmingly vote Democratic because they know Democrats represent their best interests to prove my statement about you is false. Your move. And just in case you think not responding will get you off the hook, just know that it refusing to answer validates my claim.
Well, I would say that this statement is a somewhat ridiculous generalization, and unfortunately when statements like that are included it colours a whole comment.
"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.
Maybe those 'democratic leaning Jews' are cautiously aware of the rise and influence of the christian right in governance?
After all, Old Testament simply leaves to many Jews to...………………………….oblivion? You know, the change thing? Old Testament in 'the new' Testament, right?
On any given Sunday.
And believe me. The words " Never Again " are real. The Dobsons, Falwells, Grahams and the rest of the flock are what they are.
I know I'm Going off topic, sorry But this statement caught my eye.
the typical Democrat method of divide and conquer. WOW
That is exactly how I see what trump did.
He was even a dem at the time.
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.
It worked he conquered both parties won the nomination and the office.
and here we are.
More hate-stoked rubbish, Buzz. It's really getting old and tireseome.
Gee, that's the same way the extreme alt-right has been smearing and dismissing black Americans for voting democratic. It's the "they don't know no better" gambit. With blacks it's used to justify voter nullification with racist gerrymandering. So respectful, right? Maybe Jews will be the next target for that tactic.
[Deleted]
Oh, I get it. You have actually admitted that you believe blacks (and now Jews?) are not smart enough to know whom to vote for.
The simple answer is that they have not yet realized exactly how badly they have been used and abused.
By Republicans/conservatives, constantly
Like always where's the facts Tex. Go find it in a texas school book
Only to republican texans, which are becoming fewer.
Ouch.
Keep on
, Tex.
That's not really something anyone should brag about.
There's nothing about Buzz's BS that's either new or mysterious.
I don't see anyone answering your questions. And notice Don disappeared when he coul not back himself up? Hilarious...
Or ask for supporting evidence.
If one makes a claim and cannot even provide decent supporting evidence, one should probably not make the claim.
Not the first time I have offered this advice.
Unbelievable! Those are actual facts - you can't prove them wrong.
Hey, vic, no surprise but your first link in the OC
leads to nothing that supports what comes above it. So, it's BS until supported by something other than a pukefunnel outlet.
