Supporters of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Saturday rejected a proposal to include a statement in the party's platform calling for Israel's "end to occupations and illegal settlements," CNN reported. ...

While the committee voted against the addition 95-73, CNN reported that the move garnered the loudest negative response of the day from the audience. ... One crowd member was escorted out of the meeting after he stood up and yelled that the party had "sold out" to AIPAC (the American Israel Public Affairs Committee).

The fact that this is even a question at all, instead of standing with Israel decisively, like the GOP has, is what could beat Shillary this year, or even if Trump loses, sets them up for defeat in 2020.

If Jewish voters buy the negative perception of Trump, then the GOP nominee will get the Jewish vote in 2020, after the Sanders wing ultimately moves the party to the left regardless of who gets in next January.

If, like the Hispanics, they're clearly unmoved (given how Hispanics are polling better for Trump than they went Romney), and Trump does better with Jews than Romney (which Trump should bc he wants to keep Israel-hating refugees OUT), then Donald Trump can win the Jewish vote, win FL, make PA even more competitive (and possibly win), etc.

Clearly, the Democrat Party is trending Muslim, if not this cycle, next cycle.

The Demoncratic Party today is far removed from the party my father kept voting for when I was a kid. Today, it is far left, socialist at the least and I say in the early stages of actually communistic. It has no moral compass. The young people following the party come across as grossly uneducated as to world history, especially Communism. They do not seem like critical thinkers to me but rather people easily swayed by slogans and other superficial trappings. They can parrot talking points but cannot defend the positions with facts.

By taking on the role of Uncle Giveaway, government entities under Demoncrat rule have actually enslaved another generation of blacks and others who have become used to suckling off the government teat rather than go make something of themselves and earn their own stuff. This is obviously not sustainable, as the tax base of people actually earning their way shrinks and more and more freeloaders pile on.

What will happen when the freeloading pigs at the trough outnumber the earners?

75 blood- thirsty Nazis on the D committee. (May be more who just had the sense to hide it? ). All sold out to the REAL controlling money nowadays, the Islamonazi/Soros anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Semitic attack USA funding cabal This sure ain’t grandma’s nice loving caring compassionate D party no more.

it lookin like the Michael Moore/Fahrenheit 9/11 Party. Only in the 2000s, it was easier to control since many of the people influenced by that crap were kids back then. Of course, in the 12 years since, they’re now voters.

"like the GOP has"

There is a fallacy to that statement.

Views on the Israel-Palestinian issue are actually a function of foreign policy doctrine.

NeoCon Republicans and Liberal Interventionist Democrats have similar views on Israel-Palestine. This is why many NeoCons are backing Hillary who is a Liberal Interventionist.

Republican Realists and Democrat Realists have a similar view on Israel-Palestine.

Isolationist Republicans and Antiwar Democrats have a similar view on Israel-Palestine.

So, in the GOP presidential primary field, the NeoCons preferred Scott Walker and Marco Rubio. The NeoCons were not enthusiastic about, but could have tolerated, Jeb Bush and Kasich. The NeoCons were opposed to Trump, Cruz, and Rand Paul.

DEMOCRAT BAIT AND SWITCH

Don’t put anything they want to do against Israel in writing until after the election.

This means that PLO/Hizbollah/Islamic Brotherhood/HAMAS/Iran and many other terror groups have deeply infiltrated the Democratic party. Why would a Jew vote for these scumbags?

The Demoncratic Party today...

Nice summary. There is one more element influencing the Dem party - the mohammedans.

Clearly, the Democrat Party is trending Muslim, if not this cycle, next cycle.

What is happening is that the Muslims are donating WAY MORE MONEY to the Democrat Party than the Jews are.

sounds like They Dare To Speak Out, eh? /s This move is to try to bring back some Demwit voters who would not support the Jew-hating Israel-hating Obama, but the cost may be the loss of the BlacKKK vote. Therefore, watch Fat Ass try to walk that tightrope.

from 2016:

Supporters of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Saturday rejected a proposal to include a statement in the party's platform calling for Israel's "end to occupations and illegal settlements," ... 95-73 ... the move garnered the loudest negative response of the day from the audience. ... One crowd member was escorted out of the meeting after he stood up and yelled that the party had "sold out" to AIPAC (the American Israel Public Affairs Committee).

Gee, "What Happened" indeed!
