Greenfield: How the Democrats Became the Anti-Israel Party
FrontPage ^ | 1/5/17 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 01/05/2017 4:52:05 AM PST by Louis Foxwell

How the Democrats Became the Anti-Israel Party The Left can’t stop hating and killing Jews. January 5, 2017 + Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam. Democrats have come down with a wicked virus. Somewhere along the way they caught Nazi fever.

It’s not the Nazi fever of the fevered headlines in which Trump is the new Fuhrer and Republicans are the new Third Reich.

The truth is that there’s only one major political party in this country that supports the murder of Jews.

The Democrats demand the ethnic cleansing of Jews from Jerusalem. They fund the mass murder of Jews by nuclear fire, rocket, bullet, bomb and bloody knife. And they collaborate and defend that terror.

President Clinton was the first to openly fund Islamic terrorists killing Jews. Men, women and children across Israel were shot and blown up by terrorists funded by his administration. And when terror victims sought justice, instead of protecting them from Iran, he protected Iran’s dirty money from them.

And he was not the last.

Secretary of State John Kerry and National Security Adviser Susan Rice collaborated with the leaders of a terrorist organization, with American and Israeli blood on its hands, on a UN attack on Israel that demands that Jews be banned from moving into neighborhoods and areas claimed by Islamic terrorists.

A leaked transcript showed Kerry conspiring with Saeb Erekat, who has praised the mass murderers of Jews and spewed anti-Semitism. Erekat is called a “negotiator”, a strange term considering that the PLO and its various front groups, including the Palestinian Authority, refuse to negotiate with Israel.

Erekat has made his position on the Jewish State quite clear. “We cannot accept the Jewish state – Israel as a Jewish state – not today, not tomorrow and not in a hundred years.”

Instead of reproving Erekat, Susan Rice warned him about Trump. Rice, like the rest of Obama’s team, was not only closer to the terrorists than to Israel, but was closer to the terrorists than to Trump.

Obama praised PLO boss Abbas despite the terrorist leader’s own admission, “There is no difference between our policies and those of Hamas.” The terror organization headed by Obama’s pal had honored a monster who butchered a 13-year-old Jewish girl in her own bedroom as a “martyr”.

The White House backed the Muslim Brotherhood whose “spiritual” witch doctor had praised Hitler and expressed a wish that Muslims would be able to finish the Holocaust.

Sheikh Rashid Ghannouchi, another beneficiary of Obama's Jihadist Spring, endorsed genocide. "There are no civilians in Israel. The population—males, females and children... can be killed.”

When this monster, who had called for the extermination of the Jews, visited the United States, he was honored at a dinner whose speakers included Obama’s Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State.

If the left really wants to find Hitler and Nazism, it ought to look in the mirror. The Democrats have become a political movement that aids and celebrates the mass murderers of Jews.

And they keep playing the victim.

Imitating the tactics of the Muslim terrorists that Israel was at war with, Obama would pick a fight with one of the world’s smallest countries and then pretend that it had assaulted him for no reason at all.

Israel was always snubbing, insulting and humiliating him by doing such outrageous things as living in houses, addressing Congress or complaining about the aid he was providing to Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Now he leaves office, and just like Jimmy Carter, he is still whining about the Jews.

When the Dems backed Obama, they pulled an “Ellison”. They took a bigot with an ugly background and made him king. Some wanted to believe that his views were more moderate than associates like Jeremiah Wright (“Them Jews ain’t going to let him talk to me") and Ali Abuminah (“Making Yom Kippur a UN holiday to honor the genocidal ‘state’ of Israel would be sure way to increase global anti-Jewish sentiment.”) Others knew exactly what they were getting with Barack Hussein Obama.

Now Obama has taken off his mask. You can see Jeremiah Wright and Ali Abuminah leering through.

Any genuinely pro-Israel supporters must admit the truth. Those who refuse aren’t in denial anymore. They are playing the same game of feigned moderation that Obama was all along.

Obama’s unmasking also tears off the Dem disguise.

Democrats wanted to have their cake and eat it too. They wanted to be able to pretend that they were pro-Israel and hit up Jewish donors for cash while advocating policies that were killing Jews. They wanted to send billions of dollars to terrorists in the West Bank and Iran to kill Jews before stopping by AIPAC to deliver meaningless speeches about how much Israel means to them.

And those Jews who put the values of the left ahead of Jewish values wanted to pretend that there was no contradiction. Now that Great Big Lie is coming apart. And Obama’s war on Israel helped kill it.

Obama’s attack and the rise of Keith Ellison mark the end of all illusions about Israel. The booing of Jerusalem, the Democrat boycott of Netanyahu’s speech and the Iran nuke sellout were all signposts on the road. This is the end of the road. The lame jackass has drifted all the way to the left side.

And the left had been in the business of oppressing and killing Jews for a long time. As the Democrats moved to the left, they also went into the business of financing the murder of Jews.

President Clinton was the first to openly fund Islamic terrorists killing Jews. Obama took that money and doubled, tripled and quadrupled it. That terror funding has been justified by the pursuit of a phantom “two-state solution” and “nuclear deal” that were nothing more than Islamic terrorist plots to destroy Israel.

But as the Democrats have become the radical left, they are abandoning the pretense that they kill Jews because they like them and that they fund Islamic terror only to help Israel.

They are becoming an anti-Israel party in name as well as in fact.

In the warm spring of his final year, President George W. Bush arrived in Israel. In a marked contrast with his successor who refused to speak in Israel’s parliament in Jerusalem, he addressed the Knesset.

"Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals," President Bush told the audience, which included veterans of the fight against Islamic terror.

To thunderous applause, he denounced the "false comfort of appeasement".

“America stands with you in breaking up terrorist networks and denying the extremists sanctuary. And America stands with you in firmly opposing Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions,” he declared.

"Some people suggest that if the United States would just break ties with Israel, all our problems in the Middle East would go away. This is a tired argument that buys into the propaganda of our enemies, and America rejects it utterly.”

America may reject it. But the Democrats do not.

After Kerry’s attack, Trump tweeted, “Stay strong Israel, January 20th is fast approaching!” The period between January 20, 2009 and January 20, 2017 marked a dark time in American and Israeli history.

The darkness is lifting. It’s morning in America. It’s morning in Jerusalem.

Suicidal.

What would one expect from a political party that boos God and votes to exclude Him from their party platform?

And Chuck Jew Schumer wants to fight President Trump.

Not really. The Jews being killed are not in New York, and they are not the “right kind” of Jews. A lot of them do not even vote Democrat, or approve of Abortion!

So they do not really count. /S

Hmmmn. About 56 years late noticing this trend.

The writer really gets into his “killing Jews” theme there, but the KGB (international communism) created the radical Muslim hatred to attack Israeli interets ever since the early 1970’s after they lost the state-supported military actions of 1967 and 1973 wars.

Now, the NY socialist jews (lower case!) DO have the blame for their dnc money for years and years, but socialism trumps religion for them.

When the UN resolution condemning Israel passed in the UN and everyone stood and clapped, was 0bama’s UN Ambassador Samantha Power among them?

Just how many Nazi sympathizers did the USA import after WWII under operation paper clip and other programs? How many Muslims have been taken into the governmental functions of the USA? No wonder Carter and his comrades are against the only Democracy in the Middle East.

The left has always been anti-God and so are all the policies they come up with . It should surprise no one that they are anti the people who gave us the bible . They hate it and the idea of Jacob’s children being in their own land that God gave them and promised that they would one day return to .

Leftist will always support and do the wrong thing .

It’s way past time stop funding terrorist , the Palestinians are nothing but terrorist that teach their children to murder others under the guise of trying to make peace. They don’t know what the word peace really means , peace as they define it means every non muslim in the area is dead.
Stop funding the murder and mutilation of non muslims , stop giving funds to terrorist , the fakestinians being the biggest terrorist welfare case in the world. If they actually had to work to put food on their tables and actually had to provide their own services such as electricity they would not have so much time on their hands to murder and maim others. Giving money doesn’t help them , it encourages bad behavior.

Follow the money. The D’s always had some bigotry problems but were not openly anti- Semitic until Carter — who sold out his soul to islamonazi $$$$. That having been a one - time success, the Arabian peninsula dictators’ appetite was whet to control the American government more permanently — which they thought they’d achieved by grooming and promoting and bankrolling obama while SorozNazi bought up the DNC party machine This $$$$ combination nearly got HilLIARy into the WH, too. The danger is still present as long as the islamonazi-SorozNazi $$$$$ continues to control the D national
Party machine (with or possibly without islamonazi Ellison officially at its helm).
