his statement implies a lie as the reason.
“Nazi tattoos, jihadist chants, intimidation and attacks at synagogues, and other hateful anti-Jewish invective and actions are minimized, ignored, and even coddled,” he wrote.
He's welcome to his opinion just as we are welcome to infer by his statement singling out Democrats for these racist attacks, he might favor the Republican party. That assumption by DU members is not unreasonable. The defense of such a statement would make one suspicious of motive.
The Democratic party has been a friend and ally of the Israeli people and the Gov't. As for the Jewish people in America, it's true, they have been targets of discrimination and abuse predominately by Southern white America who now make up a large part of the MAGA population and white racist Republicans.
To ignore that fact and state otherwise is at the very least disingenuous and at worst is cover to hide the true intent.
The elephant in the room is Netanyahu. He is the single most reason for the change in relationship and tone from Democrats to Israel. He is an evil person that is responsible for a genocide.
It is not for us to decide what reaction is reasonable for the atrocities committed by Hamas on the Jewish people of Israel. But as a thinking, rational person and what I believe to have reasonable compassion, I and many others think Netanyahu has gone too far and as such, he deserves punishment not support. That feeling and thought does not extend to the Jewish population. It would behoove AIPAC to step back and not act as an arm of Netanyahu's strategy. It would also behoove Democrats who choose to accept support from AIPAC because Democrats are quite aware and becoming more so aware of AIPAC and sub-pacs of AIPAC and their agenda to reconsider accepting their support.
