The Democratic Party and American Jews: The Divorce Is Going To Be Ugly
The Democratic Party is a big tent. So big that both Jews and anti-Semites fit comfortably inside. Ed Lasky thinks maybe it's time that American Jews stopped playing the blue dress to the Democratic Party's Bill Clinton:
Developments in the Democratic Party bode ill for the Jewish people and for the state of Israel - home of up to 40% of the world's remaining Jewish population. The rank and file of the Party has become increasingly anti-Semitic and support for Israel has noticeably fallen. Democratic Congressmen have reflected this trend in very visible ways: their votes and actions in Congress reveal that support for Israel has eroded in alarming ways. Furthermore, more than a few Democratic Congressman have openly made statements that are either clearly anti-Semitic or can be fairly construed to be at least, "anti-Semitic in effect, if not intent".
And Ed doesn't even mention the yeoman's work being done by Bill Levinson, who has practically had to quit his job and rely on the IsraPundit community for food and shelter just so he can find enough time to keep track of MoveOn.org anti-Semitism. Our concern with the party is more structural, and has to do with what their elites think counts as nuanced and sophisticated. But don't let that stop you from being disgusted by their base's grassroots enthusiasm for the terrorist-funding anti-Semitic President of Venezuela.
While we're on the topic, it's been over a month since we've linked to Zombietime's pictures from the San Francisco Lebanon II peace rally. That means it's been over a month since we reminded you that Nacy Pelosi's liberal base marches with signs reading "Nazi Kikes Out of Lebanon". But keep voting Democratic, kids - because the Republicans are spooky and dangerous!
