Democrats in Full Panic Mode Over Anti-Israel Protests
PJ Media ^ | 1 May 2024 | Rick Moran

Posted on 05/01/2024 6:33:29 PM PDT by Rummyfan

Democrats are in full hand-wringing mode over the anti-Israel protests on campus. The louder the protesters scream about "Free Palestine," the more nervous the Democrats become.

They know that there aren't many potential Donald Trump voters yelling antisemitic epithets at Jewish students from "Gaza Liberation Zones." These were Joe Biden voters in 2020 and may yet be again. In fact, as close a race as the 2024 presidential race is going to be. Biden is going to need these antisemites to win.

As much as Democrats want to sympathize with the pro-Hamas protesters, they know they have to walk a fine line.

"The longer they continue, and the worse that they get, the worse it's going to be for the election overall," one House Democrat told Axios.

The protests, the anonymous Democratic lawmaker warned, are "bringing out [the public's] most conservative side."

Rep. Annie Kuster (D-N.H.), chair of the New Democrat Coalition, said that many of her fellow Democrats "have been, kind of, holding back" on commenting about the protests.

"It's complicated enough for us with the range of opinions and height of emotions we have, without weighing in on what [colleges] should be doing," Kuster said.

"It's hard because ... the more thoughtful approach is the more difficult approach. It's easier to pick a side and start yelling," said another senior House Democrat.

Why would you even speculate that is a paradox for "them"?

Have you never heard, "First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people" ?

For most of them, they would be lying if they said they did.

Until now, I’ve thought Bibi should crush Rafah ASAP, after removing what civilians can be segregated.

And I think the pro-ham-ass protesters are being revved up to stop the overrun of Rafah.

But now that the protesters are so damaging *resident bidet, I think Bibi should do a limited modified hangout, and let the wackos run riot in the U.S., killing bidet’s political position.

Let them all rot a bunch longer, Bibi!

I commented to a friend’s FB post that I hoped the “protestors” burned Chicago to the ground during the Rat convention.

When I hit the post button a FakeBook warning popped up & said I was promoting violence & I might get sent to FB jail if I posted the comment. IOW, they would just take it down and ban me for a while, so don’t bother posting.

They have got their “protect the Democrats” algorithms working overtime.

The Lord has a sense of humor, it’s been proven time and time again.

I’m thinking the dual train-wreck in E. PALESTINE, OH, and the train-wreck presidential non-response to it, were a portent of this palestinian outburst and the dimocrats’ nonplussed non-reaction during the election year.

Not to worry. Biden could dress up in full Nazi regalia, kill cook and eat a white baby in the rose garden, and announce he was opening concentration camps for bitter clingers and 95% of current Democrat voters would still vote Democrat. Democrat voters are brain dead zombies who are rendered incapable of critical thinking about their vote because of their overwhelming smug self satisfaction and hence their unwillingness to question their voting patterns. Examples: Sheila Jackson Lee re-elected, Nadler re-elected, Newsome survived recall, Obama elected for two terms, polls showing Biden with 46% of the vote, etc.

The Democrats will not denounce the Hamas crowd doing the protesting because they need their votes to win. My prediction is, 30 days or less out from the election, Biden will cut ties with Israel, condemn their actions and vote against them in the UN security council. What happens next is the tribulation begins, and all the bad things will be blamed on Israel. The Bided administration in the West Wing is filled with every evil thing in the world. One could say it is a den of demons. Remember, the Biden FBI is targeting women who pray across the street from abortion mills. The FBI is watching Catholic Churches that have Latin Masses, labeling them are possible terrorists. Now Jews are being accosted by LW Democrats at colleges, in the workplace and at their businesses. And the Lefty Anti-Semites are demanding that Jewish owned companies be barred from doing business with any government agency. So the Biden admin is targeting Jews and Christians. Biden is NOT watching Muslims. Biden is NOT protecting our borders, The FBI is still searching for anyone who was there on Jan 6th to prosecute them. We have become what Nazi Germany was like in the 1930’s.

Democrats are direct cousins of the Socialist workers party of 1938 Germany.

University of Alabama: Opposing groups spent the entire day with dueling chants.
Until someone started yelling “F Joe Biden.” For the first time all day, both sides agreed.


Biden heard about it and told Jill, “They like me, they really like me.”
