Israel-[Palestinian] tensions ripple through Democratic Party chair races
Politico ^ | 12/20 | Marc Caputo and Daniel Strauss

Posted on 12/20/2016 4:54:54 AM PST by ErikJohnsky

Top Jewish fundraisers and activists in Florida have a message for the politicians who want to lead the Democratic Party: Support for the Palestinian cause at the expense of Israel is politically toxic.

In the nation’s biggest swing state — home to a diverse electorate and large Jewish community — few issues have torn at the fabric of party unity recently like the past stances on Israel taken by Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota and former Miami state Sen. Dwight Bullard.

As Ellison pursues a bid for Democratic National Committee chair and Bullard seeks to lead Florida Democrats, state and local party leaders are getting increasingly nervous about tensions between two key Democratic constituencies — Jews and African-Americans. Already, the race for state party chairman is marked by behind-the-scenes threats and racially charged rhetoric; one backer of Bullard said his treatment by Jewish critics amounted to a virtual “modern-day lynching.” (lolollll)

Actually considering how Romney made massive inroads among Jews in 2012 vs McCain 2008, and Trump didn't do too bad with Jews given the heavy demonization campaign against him (and Duke's trolling def hurt), methinks Donald Trump will do very well among Jewish voters in 2020, given how he's appointed many Jews to his administration and his tough stance against Muslim terror jihad. It will be easier too especially now that the Clintons, who were popular among moderate and conservaDem Jews (and in a way Ellison, Obama, and others are not) are now effectively gone.

All that needs to happen now is Ellison leads the DNC and more Islamocratic "Palestine" lovers do so too, liberal non-Jewish and Kapo-Jew Democrats keep pushing Muslim immigration, and more campus BDS types join their party. One less group on the Democrat Identity-Politics Plantation.

You didn't mention the JINOs, secular "Jews" and social "Jews"...of the queer, she-rabbi, and baby-killing variety.

Well it certainly hasn't been up until now.

A lot of pendulums are starting to turn and swing back from the very far left.

The dem tent is made up of factions that don’t all get along with each other. It will someday collapse due to these differences.

This is merely a continuation of a trend that has been going on in the US for decades, and is now coming toward a climax. It's based on the fact that, statistically speaking, the two most antisemitic and anti-Israel demographic groups in the country are Muslims and African-Americans. (Keith Ellison is both.) Both these groups are increasing in size, especially relative to the Jews, so the 'Rats, going where they think the votes are, have generally been placing their anti-Israel and antisemitic interests ahead of the conflicting interests of the Jewish community. It's way overdue for the Jewish community to see this reality and end its collective embrace of a party that's been turning its collective back on us.

oh it definitely is politically toxic:

http://www.gallup.com/poll/189626/americans-views-toward-israel-remain-firmly-positive.aspx?g_source=Politics&g_medium=newsfeed&g_campaign=tiles
http://www.people-press.org/2016/05/05/5-views-of-israel-and-palestinians/

The Muslims definitely are nearly all anti-Semites/anti-Israel, tho what’s actually strange is that if you look at the blacks, the black people (not politicians) actually are pro-Israel; the Hispanics for some reason are not pro-Israel http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/05/23/5-facts-about-how-americans-view-the-israeli-palestinian-conflict/ft_16-05-20_israelpalestiniansc_religion/ Of course tho, if you criticize a black pol, no matter what, according to them, you’re racist.

This is why we want Keith Ellison to be the new DNC chairman.

Hopefully he will eventually chase away the big Jewish donors.

There IS some friendship and support in the black American community, Obama not being an American is not a good gauge of this....not at all. Those black people that attend real Christian churches (not IslamoNazi fronts like Obama’s Chicago ‘Church’)..........those genuine Christians include many righteous people. Definitely not anti-Semitic.
BUT yes, there are also some black Americans with poisoned minds, for sure. I am only saying not to foresake the entire group ...
The Moslems are almost all viciously anti-Christian and anti-Jewish, their having been raised with that mental or spiritual poison from their cradles. USA needs to repatriate (deport) the Moslems ASAP! They are also trained to inflitrate (immigrate into) and (as soon as they are able) conquer and subjugate Christian (and Jewish) countries. This is exactly how they got control of 57 countries on earth already. They are doing exactly this same trick now to Europe, UK, and USA. They need to be returned NOW to the countries they’ve already conquered this way. If not, prepare to defend yourself in your own community, on your own streets, and in your own home. Right here in USA (and Europe and UK obviously)...Sooner than later.

Agreed. But, somewhere around 10-20 years ago, the ADL did a study on attitudes among various ethnic groups in the US toward Jews. They found that about 34% of Afro-Americans harbored what they considered antisemitic attitudes, as judged by answers to a questionnaire. For white Americans, this number was 9%.. I also agree that blacks who attend "real Christian Churches" are less likely to be antisemitic and anti-Israel than those who don't.

Of course, Black Muslims ( they number over a million) are much more likely to be antisemitic and anti-Israel because of the leadership of NOI and similar groups. (Think Keith Ellerson, and his taking his congressional oath of office on a Koran, not a Bible.)

As a Republican, NRA, patriotic and Zionist Jew, I am not holding my breath for my misled brethren to change their ways. After all, they suffer from a disease called “TLHS” or Terminal Liberal Hemorrhoid Syndrome...

some of it is that we Jews, as a people, are too nice. We try to help the blacks and other non-majority folk, and get spit in the face. Then the guilt complex comes into play.

As a Jew I can say that the Torah-based or Zionist life has been trashed and replaced by the “Justice for everybody else and all the Grunions in the Sea” over the rights of my own people.

As a Jew assimilates he/she becomes more concerned with the rights of the LGTBHGEQWXBLPIYTBBBN community or PLO rights over the survival of his/her people...just sayin’.

That touches on an important part of the history of Jewish-Black relations in the United States. At one point in the early to mid-twentieth century, Jews and blacks frequently intermingled peacefully in urban areas. Jews, out of a sense of empathy, were very prominent in the black civil rights movement of the 1950s and early 1960s. Then, as the civil rights movement became more radical and even violent, and as riots broke out in cities, it was frequently Jewish-owned small businesses, because of their tendency to be located in black neighborhoods (neighborhoods that had recently been heavily Jewish), that were targets of rioting black activists and black antisemitism reared its ugly head. The general anti-white bigotry of these black radicals became targeted at Jews who were most proximal to them and led to the rise of black antisemitism.

Today’s Democratic Party offers a warm, welcoming home for anti-Semites of all ugly stripes - wanna-be and real jihadis, the Obama-Sharpton-Jackson axis of African Americans, the self-hating Jews, the insane campus SJW left, the Eurotrash-snobs - all are embraced by the Democrats.
