Hard-Left Democrats Are 'Tolerating Anti-Semitism' to Avoid Being Alienated

Alan Dershowitz said Saturday on Fox & Friends that Democrats on the extreme left are "tolerating anti-Semitism" to avoid being alienated by their base.

His remarks come after Minnesota Rep.-elect Ilhan Omar seemed to reverse her stance on the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel.

During a forum in August, Omar said that she supports a two-state solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, saying that it's important to "recognize Israel’s place in the Middle East and the Jewish people’s rightful place within that region."

However, Omar's campaign told the blog Muslim Girl that she "believes in and supports the BDS movement," though she has reservations about its effectiveness.

Dershowitz said on Saturday that Omar's change in opinion shows that the hard-left of the Democratic Party "are tolerating anti-Semitism."

"They don't want to alienate that part of their base," the Harvard Law professor emeritus said.

According to Muslim Girl, Omar's campaign acknowledged that the newly elected congresswoman voted against an anti-BDS bill in Minnesota.

Dershowitz added that Omar has gone "over the line to anti-Semitism," noting that in 2012, she tweeted that Israel, a U.S. ally, "has hypnotized the world" and also called it an "apartheid" regime.

The mainstream left has tolerated antisemitism with a wink and a nod for decades, for one in the form of being pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist. Scratch an anti-Zionist, find an antisemite just beneath the surface. There has also long been an antisemitic streak in well-known black Democrat figures such as Al Sharpton and many others as well. So, pardon me Mr. Dershowitz, but where have you been for the past 40 years?

They don’t define anti-semitism as Muslim hatred of Israel. They define it as white neo-Nazi hatred of individual Jews. Anything Muslims think is immediately excused due to “The Plight of the Palestinians.”

With all the Feminists having Gorbasms over Linda Sour, it’s VERY CLEAR that they’re MUCH HAPPIER having their private parts mutilated, than living in a country that respects its Constitution.

At the 2012 Democrat Convention, a voice vote was taken on these two amendments:

As you can tell from this clip, there was NOT a required 2/3 majority voice vote. It seemed like a 50/50 split.

Antonio Villaraigosa, the convention chairman, ultimately asked for the voice vote three times. As one report note, even though the no’s were again as loud if not louder than the aye’s on the third vote, Villaraigosa said he had determined that two thirds of those present had voted in favor. Boos filled the arena in response.

Far left wing...yea right.

In 1948, Harry Truman split his party in three, standing up to both the klu-klan-ers on one side under Strom Thurmond, and the ‘progressives’ on the other under Henry Wallace. Despite all the polls and papers favoring Dewey, he won big. That’s what you get if you stand for principle. Ironically, his whistle stop campaign resembled Trump’s rallies. Back then the Democrats had men among them. Now they’re all just male whores.
