With U.S.-Israeli relations currently at just about absolute zero — minus 459.67 degrees Fahrenheit — U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz claimed in a piece she wrote for The Hill that, according to its headline, “The spirit of Israel lives in the Democratic Party.” The South Florida Democrat, and chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, was writing in response to a statement by U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, during an interview earlier this month on Boston Herald Radio.
“I don’t understand how Jews in America can be Democrats first and Jewish second and support Israel along the line of just following their president,” he said, according to BuzzFeed. “They’re knee-jerk supporters of the president’s policy.”
After using The Hill as her soapbox to lambaste Republicans in general and King in particular, she observed that “the Democratic Party is the natural home of Jewish Americans.”
I can’t argue the point that the majority of American Jews identify with the Democratic Party — whether it’s natural or not is debatable.
But her train of thought began to derail when she said, “American Jews are overwhelmingly Democrats because of our values, and, yes, because of our deep connection to and support of the State of Israel.”
Then Wasserman Schultz went completely off the tracks with this statement:
To those ends, we are proud of the way President Obama has supported Israel over his tenure – from unprecedented military and intelligence cooperation and economic collaboration to affirming Israel’s right to exist, to defend herself, and to thrive.
I believe she has Obama confused with pretty much all previous presidents — well, excepting Jimmy Carter, of course.
And I don’t even have to make the effort to list all the reasons our president is no friend to Israel — folks on Twitter did that for me. Here are a few examples:
“.. deep support ... “ is apparently a euphemism for paving
the way for a new Holocaust (Obola’s Final Solution).
No, the spirit of Israel lives in the Republican Party.
Its spirit will have to live somewhere after the Muslim Caliph Obama nukes it off the face of the earth.
>>To those ends, we are proud of the way President Obama has supported Israel over his tenure<<
W T F?????
He “supported Israel” in that he didn’t completely espouse Hitler’s final solution. Now it is just obozo-enabled slow motion version of pushing Israel into the sea.
Little Debbie got her new hair done too tight.
Bwwwaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
*cough, cough*
That’s a good one.
The spirit of Israel lives with YVWH ...not the Demoncratic party.

An occasional long tagline. It's such an overt acceptance of anti-Semitism, from the heart. I doubt Joe understands what he said.
“Folks (American Jews), , there is no place else to go, and you understand that in your bones. You understand in your bones that no matter how hospitable, no matter how consequential, no matter how engaged, no matter how deeply involved you are in the United States … there’s only one guarantee. There is really only one absolute guarantee, and that’s the state of Israel. And so I just want to assure you, for all the talk, and I know sometimes [President Barack Obama] gets beat up a little bit, but I guarantee you: he shares the exact same commitment to the security of Israel.”
Joe Biden, 2015
It is now no more that toleration is spoken of as if it were the indulgence of one class of people that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights, for, happily, the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens in giving it on all occasions their effectual support….May the children of the stock of Abraham who dwell in this land continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other inhabitants — while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree and there shall be none to make him afraid.
George Washington, 1790
The ill effects of mayonnaise on the brain.
That ugly skank lies as much as Obama and Hillary. Israel was betrayed by Obama and the Democrats in the April Fool Surprise that lets Iran have the bomb. They will be threatening Israel with it and may even use it at some point, since rational thinking is not a Muslim virtue. Jews who vote Democrat have a death wish.
The only reason she has to say this now is that it’s clearly not true anymore.
Must be lonely where she is now.
Oh,yeah......It IS almost April Fool’s Day!
It’s not true. They’re liars.
There are many, many Jewish people that could care less about the state of Israel. They are Northeast US residents primarily who are in the progressive/liberal camp first and foremost.
It does not bother RATS to lie.
Ugly and stupid, almost to the bone. This poor girl is blind and has no brain.
if there is one thing to come out of these last few years then it is the curtain being peeled back and showing how nuts the left is.
Yesterday I heard a Dem saying and I kid you not he said that the world now looks up to America for leadership.
I had to sit down and then laugh and then nearly blow a gasket.
The left are frigging delusional and even today it;s hard for me to think that there are millions of them who believe how stupid they are and never checking what they’re told off the MSM
Not even Disney World.
