Funny how they keep telling us that Democrats don’t hate Jews, they just have a problem with Israel, but, keep proving they hate and won’t tolerate Jews. If Islamist groups wanted to march with Sunrise I’d bet there would be no problem.
Climate Activist Org Cancels Appearance at DC Statehood Rally over Jewish Groups’ Participation
The Washington, D.C., chapter of climate-activist organization Sunrise movement canceled its speaking appearance at a rally for D.C. statehood and federal voting legislation over Zionist Jewish groups’ participation in the event.
Sunrise DC cited the Jewish Council on Public Affairs, the National Council of Jewish Women, and the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism as groups that support Zionism and the State of Israel in its withdrawal letter.
“Given our commitment to racial justice, self-governance, and indigenous sovereignty, we oppose Zionism and any state that enforces its ideology,†the statement read.
The organization then accused Israel, which it called a “colonial project,†of illegally occupying Palestine and engaging in “violent oppressive tactics that go against the values we advocate for as a hub.†Sunrise DC then claimed that Israel treats minorities such as Palestinians and black and brown Jewish-Israelis as second-class citizens as well as disenfranchises them from civil society and government.
“We also believe that the fight for statehood and sovereignty are incompatible with Zionism and the political erasure of Palestinians that the ideology calls for,†the statement added.
You can no longer see the tweet from Sunrise DC, as they made their twitter feed protected. Shocker, eh? Others caught, saved it, and posted photos of it, though
The refusal to take part in this event because Jewish organizations are participating is unfortunate & wrong, & I am disappointed by this decision. This type of action is unhelpful and counterproductive, & takes needed attention away from such a vital issue as voting rights. 1/2 pic.twitter.com/0WoX6bVX5j

They won’t say a bad word about Syria, Egypt, Afghanistan, China, Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela or Iran, among others. Nor a bad word about Palestinians launching suicide attacks against Israeli civilians. But, Israel? Yeah, because they hate Jews.
I contacted the offices of every member of Congress endorsed by Sunrise to see if they agree w/ @SunriseMvmtDC's decision not to work with progressive Jewish groups. Not one even *responded* to my emails. (Nor did @sunrisemvmt's national staff.) https://t.co/2RIs6vkw2E

Of course they won’t, because so many Democrats hate Jews. AOC, Tlaib, Omar, and so many more. But, remember, this is all about science and getting everyone to demand Government do something about ‘climate change’.
The anti-Semites wrote:
Those are the code words of all of these knucklehead groups, because it means that they are protesting the existence of Israel proper, not just the ‘occupied territories’ of Judea and Samaria.
To be fair, Congresspeople seldom answer anyone on any issue. Especially if it is a no-win topic where anyone will be offended by their position. Congresspeople don’t “win” elections by answering the phones and telling opposition researchers sound bites.
