Democrats Jayapal, Van Hollen Want Israeli ‘Occupation’ Language in 2020 Platform

Two Democratic lawmakers told a liberal Jewish conference on Monday they support the inclusion in the 2020 party platform of language on Israeli “occupation” of territories claimed by the Palestinians.

One of them also argued that their party has not shifted on the Israeli-Palestinian issue; rather the Republicans have veered away from what he suggested used to be the “mainstream” position.

Speaking at the J Street national conference gala dinner in Washington, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) expressed strong support for the idea – now being actively championed by J Street – of inserting opposition to “occupation” in the platform.

“I think it’s essential,” she said to cheers. “I think we have to take it on. We have to take it on strongly.”

The Torah has 613 (if I remember correctly) commandments.
Modern leftists have 613 nonnegotiable demands.
I wonder which of the two today’s secular Jews will choose.

The Democrats already have deleted God from their platform (2012).

Jew Haters doing what Jew Haters do- Hating Jews! Guess they don’t like our country being blessed by God anymore- Are there any positions that democrats hold that don’t destroy things?

Israeli “occupation” of territories claimed by the Palestinians.

I believe this would include Tel Aviv.

IIRC it took 3 votes to get there. Hopefully those that were not feeling have since walked away.

The Israelis like Trump. That’s all the reason the Democrats need to want them to be mercilessly raped, tortured and slaughtered. It’s the party of compassion, you know.

I think they then scrubbed all references to God in the next 2016 platform so they wouldn’t have that national embarrassment again of the party rejecting God on national television.

And the liberal Jewish contributors to Democrat coffers should go along with this.

If only the Israelis were not such dedicated Zionists....

Militant is only good if you are doing it on behalf of either spreading socialism or extending the hegemony of Islam.

Sometimes both at once.

This Jayapal skank is the successor to “Baghdad Jim” McDermott if you remember him. It’s a congressional district I’m happy not to live in.

Never heard of these Nazi scum but they’re only half right. There’s an occupation alright. But it’s the Muslim occupation of the Israeli Promised land that must be ended These two should read history or Bible ( or Koran) and learn Something before shooting off their mouths again.

Van Hollen was a MD Rep before he won the Senate seat. His district was one of those weirdly-shaped ones that connect DC suburbs with large rural areas. There are a lot of Jews in that district, but he kept getting their votes anyway.

Nazis welcomed with open arms in the Demonrat Party (well, except for the one with the “supposed” Nazi tat who was told to take a hike).
