Elected Democrats are feeling more and more emboldened to show their Israel and Jew hatred, especially those in safe Democrat districts, because so many of their supporters are Israel and Jew haters
Progressives press Democrats to rethink Israel policy
Progressive House Democrats are putting pressure on the party to reconsider the amount and nature of U.S. aid to Israel, something that has long been supported strongly by both parties.
The shift partly reflects the liberal energy running through the Democratic party, which is embracing more progressive positions.
The U.S. provides $3.8 billion annually for Israel to purchase American military hardware, including aircraft, tanks, munitions, missile defense, among other needs with respect to ensuring Israel’s own defense.
Progressives argue President Trump’s unflinching support for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the Israeli government’s own hard-line stance on Palestinian rights, demands a more robust debate of how Congress can influence U.S. policy to Israel.
“It’s not that anybody is against Israel,†Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), co-chair of the House Progressive Caucus, told The Hill. “But they don’t like the idea that that aid might be used to move forward undemocratic or even racist policies in Israel. So I think they are getting very involved.â€
Pramila is part of The Squad, and we’ve already seen the anti-Semitism and Israel hatred from other members Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, with AOC giving them support, which is also, shockingly, mentioned in the article. How is Israel racist? Palestinian is not a race, and, really, most Jews and Palestinians are of the same race, anyhow. It’s just a word that nutters throw out.
The party and House caucus remains adamantly pro-Israel, and earlier this year the House — in a 398 to 17 vote — approved a resolution opposing the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement targeting Israel. Progressives argued the measure violated the free-speech rights of Americans, but 209 Democrats backed it compared to 16 Democrats who opposed it. Four Democrats voted “present.â€
Still, lawmakers are becoming more vocal in calling for change in U.S. policies toward Israel.
Most Democrats know it is a Very Bad Idea to vote against Israel, as a goodly chunk of their base would like, especially in the East and West coast enclaves, such as San Francisco. More, though, are willing to expose their anti-Semitism, which is what this is about. It has nothing to do with any sort of high minded principles about holding Israel accountable, “racism”, or anything else. They just hate Israel and Jews. And are feeling emboldened to act on this.
TEACH typed, falsely: Pramila is part of The Squad
Representative Jayapal (R-WA) is not part of “The Squad”. Solid reporting there, chief.
Conservatives love Israel, but hate Jews. Conservatives shoot Jewish worshipers in synagogues. Conservatives march with their torches, shouting “Jews won’t replace us!”.
Shouldn’t Congress debate how taxpayer dollars (billions) are spent? At least Dems didn’t withhold Israel’s military aid in exchange for electoral help as tRump did.
“Conservatives love Israel, but hate Jews”
No, they do not. That is a lie. Conservatives are overwhelmingly Christians and Christians are big supporters of both Jews and Israel. Don’t presume to tell conservatives who THEY support. Solid reporting there, chief.
“Conservatives shoot Jewish worshipers in synagogues.”
No, they do not. Anti-Semitic racists and Mohammadans do around the world but there is NOTHING in conservative or Christian philosophy which encourages the murder of Jews unlike your communist and Mohammadan cults. Solid reporting there, chief.
“Conservatives march with their torches, shouting “Jews won’t replace us!â€.
No, they do not. Once again you confuse racists with conservatives which I can understand since to you everyone not communist is racist. People like you who lie about others and pass around false information are the reason America is in the shape it’s in. You’re a fuking liar and you don’t know what you’re talking about. Solid reporting there, chief.
“At least Dems didn’t withhold Israel’s military aid in exchange for electoral help as tRump did.”
I assume you have definitive proof of that statement. If not it’s just more solid reporting, chief.
Along with Joe Bribem and Bernie it looks like Abu P. Dowd, the whimpering little sissybitch, needs some new material.
Nobody’s buying their bullshit anymore.
Lolgf
TEACH is a whimpering little sissybitch.
It’s a little like Jamal Kashoggi and the Moslem Brotherhood; you may not be a formal member, but you’re with them in spirit.
Conservatives love Israel, but hate Jews. Conservatives shoot Jewish worshipers in synagogues. Conservatives march with their torches, shouting “Jews won’t replace us!â€.
That’s like saying Lefties really are tolerant and compassionate. But, hey, if you want us to say every Democrat is an Antifa freak, I can dig it.
Shouldn’t Congress debate how taxpayer dollars (billions) are spent? At least Dems didn’t withhold Israel’s military aid in exchange for electoral help as tRump did.
When the House finds something better to do than the impeachment farce, the may get around to it.
And you’re talking about the Hildabeast, not The Donald.
American Jews vote 80% Democrat
They are among the most liberal of Democrats
Teach hates liberals something fierce
No, but ever since the Demos found out the PLO was trained by the Russians, they’ve always sided against Israel.
That, and the fact they’re scared to death of the Moslem crazies.
Guys, on the heels of Pancho Vanilla tossing in the towel, Chlamydia is about to drop out, so Baghdadi Bunny (see what I did there?) has to change the subject from the sorry field the Demos have fielded for next year.
PS Hypocrite Hare is forever talking about how many Right-wing attacks there are in this country.
Ever get the feeling he counts all those fake hate crimes?
Kind of like the Hildabeast and her 7 million fraudulent votes?
A nifty little FWIW.
Britain’s NHS, what IdiotCare was modeled on, has announced it will withdraw treatment from patients it deems to be racist or sexist.
Gee, I guess universal healthcare really isn’t. Aren’t you glad there’s Donald Trump?
Breitbart and a commenter are ignorant or lying to you. Again.
Surely Cons do not support abusing staff.
from the actual announcement (not Breitbart):
*Following a national trend, staff have reported that incidents of racism on wards have increased over the past year so the hospital will be enforcing its zero tolerance policy against abusive behaviour.
This means that any patient abusing staff will be challenged and warned, leading to a sports-style disciplinary yellow card and then final red card in which treatment would be withdrawn as soon as is safe.
Any visitors causing disturbance or behaving in an unacceptable manner will get one verbal warning before being removed.
Andrea Young, Chief Executive from North Bristol NHS Trust said:
“We have staff from many different backgrounds, from all over the world, and we pride ourselves on our commitment to equality which is a fundamental value of the NHS.
“We’re sending a strong signal that any racism or discrimination is completely unacceptable – we want staff to challenge and report it and we want everyone to know that it will have consequences.â€
The abusive behaviour policy covers anyone with mental capacity making:
Racist or sexist language, gestures or behaviour.
Excessive noise.
Abuse of alcohol or drugs.
Threatening and offensive language.
Malicious allegations.
Intentional damage to trust property.*
More ignorance. Commenter typed: Britain’s NHS, what IdiotCare (sic) was modeled on
This is just not true. The ACA is nothing like the NHS, where almost all medical personnel are gov’t employees.
A lot of pettifoggery and obfuscation to conceal the fact that politically-funded care can be cut off if the recipient is of the “wrong” group or persuasion.
More ignorance. Commenter typed: Britain’s NHS, what IdiotCare (sic) was modeled on
This is just not true. The ACA is nothing like the NHS, where almost all medical personnel are gov’t employees.
And that was one of the big objections to IdiotCare, that medical professionals would be reduced to government slugs.
Zeke Emanuel (Tippytoes’ brother) and Jonathan Gruber were both big fans of NHS and did all they could to model it on NHS lines.
Sounds like a policy written by people who are unfamiliar with being around patients. hint: people are not on their best behavior when they are in pain. Pain also breaks down social boundaries and people in pain are less tolerant of being neglected and incompetent staff.
I suspect Jeff is in a lot of pain all the time. We should all try being nicer to him and thank God that we are not in his shoes.
I wonder if calling someone a “stupid wanker” will still be OK, or if that will imply racism when the “wanker” is other than Anglo-Saxon derived.
Teach when the FBI arrests Jew haters like they recently did in Colorado aren’t they almost always rightwing extremists ? Both rightwing Christians and rightwing islamists are both notorious Jew haters
They are? Most of the white anti-Semites are those Lefties who want to divest from Israel.
Most Christian fundmentalists are big Israel supporters.
God, he’s stupid.
I have never known a single Christian who was an anti Semite. Ever! I’ve known X-Christians, fallen Catholics, Mohammadans and even leftist Jews as well as your usual communists, anarchists and atheists but never a Christian. But then I don’t seek out nor hang around Haters like John and Fredo do. When hate is all one has one seeks out other haters and points at those who should be hated.
John, how would you categorize left wing white and Christian haters? You are aware it’s okay to be white , aren’t you?
The only haters I run across are at right-wing hate sites like this one. Ones like TEACH, Fluffy, Porno, Goober and B&D do nothing but preach hate against their fellow Americans. And of course the Hater-in-Chief and his stormtroopers at his frothing Klan rallies. Most right-wing haters hide their venom except anonymously online
Porno claims to be a Christian yet hates all Muslims, agnostics, atheists but denies hating Jews. Yeah, right. Judaism adamantly denies that Jesus was a deity or the messiah or the son of god – does that bother you at all? Can Jews get into the Christian “heaven”?
I guess Hypocrite Hare never goes to any Lefty sites because the screeching hatred and racism he claims to see here is nothing to the real thing on the Left.
But, then, it’s not really what he sees here, but what he generalizes on the entire white Christian (not to mention Jewish), heterosexual, male (we know how he feels about women) population to try to elevate himself into some position of superiority.
If that ain’t hate, it’s damned close.
