Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders declare war on the Jewish State.
Fri Nov 1, 2019
Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.
Not a single 2020 Democrat candidate from the massive field spoke at AIPAC’s pro-Israel summit in the spring. But 5 of the 2020 Dems, Sanders, Buttigieg, Castro, Klobuchar, and Bennett, were featured at the J Street conference alongside anti-Israel activists, BDS supporters, and terrorists.
Those 2020 Dems who couldn’t attend the anti-Israel hatefest in person sent video messages.
Elizabeth Warren sent in a video message threatening to cut off aid to Israel unless it surrenders to Islamic terrorists. Then she promised to divide Jerusalem, turning half the ancient holy city into a killing ground for the murderous terrorists already occupying Gaza and portions of the West Bank.
Joe Biden, Beto O’Rourke, Marianne Williamson, and even Andrew Yang joined her in sending messages of support and friendship to the anti-Israel group which has featured BDS supporters and terrorists.
The majority of the 2020 Democrat field have aligned with an anti-Israel organization.
J Street’s conference speakers included Osama Qawasma, a Fatah spokesman, a member of the Fatah Revolutionary Council, and an advisor to PA terrorist leader Mahmoud Abbas. Osama had claimed that Israel “rules” over America, that it’s worse than Hitler, and is plotting against all the Arab countries.
Osama had defended Palestinian Authority laws that would sentence any Muslim who rents a home to Jews to a lifetime of hard labor, and ranted, “Those traitors are destined to die a humiliating death.”
The J Street speaker had also stood in solidarity with Hamas. “We firmly oppose the American-Israeli attempts to denounce Hamas as terrorist,” he had declared.
None of the 2020 Dems had spoken at AIPAC. But they were happy to stand with J Street and Hamas.
Another terrorist at the J Street conference was Saeb Erekat, the Secretary-General of the PLO Executive Committee, who has defended Hamas and insisted that his terror group will go on funding terrorists.
Also speaking at the anti-Israel hatefest was Ayman Odeh who heads the Joint List: a coalition of four anti-Israel Arab Islamic parties including Hadash, formerly the Israeli Communist Party, which supports Assad, and the United Arab List, an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Islamic Movement.
Hamed Abu Daabas, the head of the "moderate" Southern branch of the Islamic Movement, had said that, "ISIS raises reasonable demands like the establishment of an Islamic state, but their methods for reaching their objective raise concern in many nations across the world."
He had argued that, "If it were not for the shocking ways in which they kill, it would be possible to see ISIS like any other Jihadi organization."
Odeh had tweeted that he had called Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas, to congratulate him.
This is what Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, Joe Biden, Amy Klobuchar, Beto O’Rourke, Marianne Williamson, Michael Bennett, Andrew Yang, aligned themselves with at J Street.
Israel is out. J Street, Hamas, and ISIS are in.
There were loud cheers when the 2020 Democrats were urged to cut off aid to Israel, but there was only tepid applause when the death of the ISIS leader was mentioned. It was clear whose death the J Street audience really wanted. They didn’t want the destruction of the Islamic State, but of the Jewish State.
Warren’s video message blasted Israel, but did not offer a single word of criticism of the Palestinian Authority and its terrorists. She threatened to pressure Israel, while promising to welcome back the Palestinian Authority’s delegation back to D.C. Warren’s frantic pandering to the terror lobby was only outdone by her even more radical rival, Bernie Sanders, who vowed all out war on the Jewish State.
Bernie Sanders, to thunderous applause from anti-Israel activists at J Street, vowed to redirect foreign aid from Israel to Hamas-run Gaza. He then spent several minutes ranting about the Jewish State.
"If you want military aid, you're going to have to fundamentally change your relationship to the people of Gaza," Sanders said, referring to the Islamic terror state that is constantly trying to murder Jews.
He also claimed that Israel was “laying the groundwork for future violence” by blocking Gaza’s terrorists.
Bernie’s previous conference appearance, before J Street, had been at the Islamic Society of North America at a presidential forum moderated by Salam Al-Marayati, who has defended Hamas.
His campaign manager, Faiz Shakir, had been the co-chair of Islamic Awareness Week, an event that had included a fundraiser for a Hamas front group.
And Bernie made it clear what he has to offer to the Hamas supporters of America.
“Being Jewish may be helpful in that regard,” he suggested. “It’s going to be very hard for anybody to call me, whose father’s family was wiped out by Hitler, who spent time in Israel, an anti-Semite.”
The term Bernie is looking for is “collaborator”. He can ask George Soros for some helpful tips.
From Jesse Jackson to Rep. Ilhan Omar, and from the Sandinistas to the Soviet Union to Hamas, Bernie Sanders has always stood with anti-Semites and against Jews. At J Street, the radical leftist clarified his formerly unspoken despicable trick of using his accent and last name to shield the anti-Semites plotting to aid terrorists and kill millions of Jews from accusations of anti-Semitism.
Marianne Williamson condemned Israel’s “occupation” of the Golan Heights, and announced that she would not recognize its annexation, despite the fact that the United States has already recognized it. The creepy leftist cult leader also insisted that blockading Hamas terrorists in Gaza was “morally wrong.”
Amy Klobuchar condemned Israel for keeping out Rep. Ilhan Omar and Rep. Rashida Tlaib. And she did not rule out an aid cutoff.
Julian Castro said that he wouldn't take a cutoff of aid to Israel "off the table." Like, Elizabeth Warren, he called for dividing Jerusalem between Israel and an Islamic terrorist state. He also vowed to restore U.S. foreign aid to the terrorists which they have been using to reward the killers of Israelis and Americans.
Cutting aid to Israel and giving money to the terrorists was the major theme of 2020 Democrats.
Not just Castro, but nearly every 2020 Democrat called for restoring aid to the terrorists. And that means that the Palestinian Authority and Hamas will have more funds at their disposal for killing Israelis.
J Street events are always festivals of anti-Israel hatred. But this time, all the Dems were on board.
Aside from the 2020 contenders, both House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer spoke at the hatefest featuring BDS and terror supporters. The Democrat leadership, of the Senate, the House, and, aspirationally, the White House, were all in on J Street and against Israel.
J Street had been set up by George Soros and other anti-Israel figures to destroy support for Israel among Democrats. The J Street conference makes it abundantly clear that they have succeeded.
And that pro-Israel Democrats, who have tried to stop their party from going dark, have lost.
What was once a fringe view has become the default position of the Democrat Party. Despite the usual rants about AIPAC’s influence, the talking points for the Democrats are coming from J Street.
That was abundantly clear at the J Street conference as Ben Rhodes, Obama’s Iran smear artist, and Tommy Vietor, pressured 2020 Democrats to say that they would cut off aid to the Jewish State. J Street aggressively promoted its call for embedding opposition to Israel’s presence in Judea and Samaria, which they falsely described as the “occupation”, into the party platform of the Democrats.
J Street didn’t make this happen. The radicalization of the Democrats did. The conference was just a symptom of how extreme and extremely anti-Semitic the radicalized party has become.
The J Street conference with its terrorists, activists, and apparatchiks is the new face of the Democrats.

The Democrat party is an insurgency aimed squarely at terminating Constitutional government. They have become the enemy of our nation and must be destroyed if we are to continue to exist as a Republic.

No surprise. Terrorists need friends too.
Correct! It’s so sad but today’s D party bosses are very dangerous to America. Extremely dangerous imho. And it appears that the mainstream D voters cannot recapture control of the DNC. A criminal prosecution may be the only way to clean it up now, or?

Not much of a surprise. Hizbollah deserves some credit too, not just ISIS and Hamas. And the PLO, imo a terror group.
Interesting that Harris isn’t mentioned.
When you see evil in action - always a good idea to look around and find the "Soros" connection.
Some problems can be solved with a hammer, some with duct tape...this will require rope.
Understood. It sure looks like it’s headed just that way
Am I supposed to care more about Israel than American Jews do?
Because, despite all of the excellent writing by Daniel Greenfield, his audience isn't really American Jews, it's American conservatives, who are overwhelmingly Christian.
Despite what Greenfield describes 80% of Jewish Americans will vote for which ever candidate the Jackass Party puts up, just like they did in 2016, 2008 and previous elections.
It seems like a very precarious position for American Jews who support Israel to continue to elect people from the Democratic Party which is increasingly anti-Israeli.
It seems like the logical thing would be for Jewish Americans to move en-masse to the Republican Party, at least for national elections, who continue to be the steadfast friends of Israel that both parties were in the past.
But they aren't doing that.
At some point the GOP may reconsider their strong support for Israel.
To some extent Trump is the tip of that spear.
He went against the entire foreign policy establishment to get out of Syria. A non-interventionist foreign policy and disengagement in the Middle East is still a minority position in the GOP - only two candidates talked that way, Rand Paul was the extreme version, and Donald Trump was the moderate version.
A lot of old-school conservatives and Never Trumpers believe it's inevitable that the pendulum swings back, and the next GOP Presidential candidate will be someone like Marco Rubio, who is a big supporter of Israel. But of course, a lot of those same people never thought Trump could win the nomination in the first place.
The GOP would be more likley to stand with Jewish Americans in support of Israel if Jewish Americans stood with the GOP, but they don't.
Of course many non-Jewish Americans are very fond of Israel on it's own merits, regardless of what which candidate their Jewish neighbors support.
But the cognitive dissonance in holding this position becomes more difficult all the time. Democrats demonize American's desire for border security and builing a wall. Democrats demonize Trump, and the many of the most active participants in the completely illegitimate effort to remove Trump are the most powerful Jewish-American Democrat's running the effort, like Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, and their two respective chief counsels hired from Lawfare Daniel Goldman and Norm Eisen.
Meanwhile, the remaining bipartisan group of pro Israel politicians send American foreign aid money to Israel, which helps pay for their wall construction.
I only want for my country, my ONLY country, what Israel has for theirs, but almost all my Jewish friends are working to prevent me from having that - at the same time they expect me to strongly support Israel having what every they need - 'for their security".
More Americans died from Mexican lawlessness flowing into the USA in one month than Israeli's from Palestinian terrorism in the last five years. The drunk drivers, the rapists, the drug overdoses from smuggled drugs, the MS-13ers.

You are missing the point that Marxist/atheist Jews who do not consider themselves people of the Book are opposed to the government of Netanyahu and prefer the division of Jerusalem. These are the stiff necked Baal worshippers of Exodus. They are still Jews and they are still part of the group known as God’s Chosen People. They are not, however, always His greatest admirers. Some, indeed, do not acknowledge His authority in their lives.
As to your concern about Christians, most consider themselves “grafted into” the Abrahamic election. “We shall be your people and You shall be our God.” Greenfield speaks to the Christian community as members of the spiritual family that some in his ancestry have fallen away from.
