Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.), one of the staunchest Israel supporters in Congress, criticized liberal writer Peter Beinart’s New York Times op-ed “Democrats ignored Gaza and brought down their party.”
“Peter Beinart has an op-ed claiming that outrage among young black Americans against Israel is one of the causes of Democratic defeat in the 2024 election,” Torres wrote. “Beware of white progressives, who project their own ideological biases onto working-class communities of color.”
“Here’s the ground-level truth. If you’re a young man of color struggling to pay your rent, put food on the table and keep your family afloat, the furthest issue on your mind is a conflict 5,000 miles away,” Torres wrote. “The existential issue for you is inflation. The crippling cost of living is the cause of your discontent. Anyone claiming otherwise is representing their own ideological imagination rather than reality.”
“The far left seems to have a simple rule of scapegoating: When in doubt, blame Israel,” he added.
Bainard a useful idiot liberal.

After tossing Jewish voters overboard to accommodate the Hamas supporters of Dearborn, Michigan, the Democrats are starting to get nervous about the choice they made.
Despite the rollout of the campaign, beginning with Senator Schumer’s floor speech blasting Israel, and various liberal Jewish surrogates, including Rep. Jerry Nadler, vocally opposing the campaign against Hamas, the Democrats did not manage to sell Jews on Biden’s betrayal.
Biden’s declaration that he would stop providing military support to Israel if it continued to pursue Hamas into Rafah touched off a major backlash from donors, like Haim Saban, from celebrities, like Michael Rappaport, who has said he could vote for Trump, and ordinary Jews.
While there’s no accurate polling of Jewish voters because there are too few Jews in much of the country to be captured by conventional polls and polls specifically surveying Jews are usually run by leftist groups, Democrats have suddenly begun to sweat the Jewish vote.

Israel is magnificent.
They kill satan’s minions en’ mass.
I’m with Israel 100%.
We need to start telling the Alt Left “Harris/Walz lost because they tried to hide their record. Democrat need stop hiding their agenda and move to the left”
Dan Greenfield says Beinert is bashing Israel for money. I still get a laugh when he hooked up with a Syrian Lesbian who really was a man from Scotland.
