6. As someone who is of Semitic descent...
Mon May 11, 2026, 05:55 PM
Monday

I am of Semitic descent as my ancestors were Aramaic and Arabic speaking Maronite Catholics from Zouk Mikael in Lebanon. I also served in the US Air Force for 20 years, adhering to John the Baptist's guidance to the Roman soldiers of "Protect the people."

I noticed the article on Justice David Wecht noted he "did not provide specific examples or name party leaders or elected officials" supporting his statement that “Acquiescence to Jew-hatred is now disturbingly common among activists, leaders and even many elected officials in the Democratic Party.”

I have criticized for many years Israel's conduct against the Palestinian and the Lebanese people. I often state the Israeli military practice of leveling homes, villages, towns and cities which in turn causes death and injuries to innocent people who are not terrorists, as Israel has done in the West Bank, Gaza and Lebanon is not only a war crime. I consider that military practice to be nothing more than the type of action against innocent people as Nazi Germany used at Lidice during WW II.

I dare Justice Wecht to call me "anti-semitic" or full of "Jew Hatred" (his term).
