Jayapal: GOP Weaponizing Antisemitism by Bringing Up Bills We’ll Vote Against
Breitbart ^ | 1 May 2024 | IAN HANCHETT

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight,” Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) stated that Republicans are “trying to weaponize antisemitism” by bringing bills that divide Democrats on the subject, like the Antisemitism Awareness Act, up for a vote. And that if we wanted to fight antisemitism “we would bring a bipartisan bill and we would have a whole of government approach that involves educating people about what antisemitism is and what it isn’t and making sure that we are all speaking with one voice.”

Host Alex Wagner asked, “Do you have sort of a thesis as to why the scope was so large?”

Jayapal responded, “Yeah, Alex, I do, and that is that, unfortunately, I think Republicans are trying to weaponize antisemitism. They want to bring bills to the floor that actually divide Democrats, and what we really need to do, if we want to tackle antisemitism, which I believe every Democrat does want to do and many Republicans, then we would do a — we would bring a bipartisan bill and we would have a whole of government approach that involves educating people about what antisemitism is and what it isn’t and making sure that we are all speaking with one voice. I think it’s incredibly hurtful to the cause of eliminating antisemitism for Republicans to weaponize it and to be hypocrites about bringing forward something that is for pure political gain, not about fighting antisemitism. So, that’s why I think they brought this bill, because they knew that it would not get full Democratic support, because it doesn’t get full support from the Jewish community. It doesn’t get full support from people who have looked at this issue and said we have to be very careful about how we define this, and especially, by...”

“Weaponizing Antisemitism?

That is a tacit admission that Antisemitism exists.

And that they do not want the Jews protected.

And that they do not want the Antisemites stopped or punished.

So Jayapal is angry because Republicans are proposing bills that expose her and her fellow Democrats’ antisemitism for the American public to see when they vote against them? And she’s admitting it?

Shades of James Clyburn.

The Jewish kids are just trying to get an education.

They should not be harassed because of Israeli policies totally outside their control.

I tend to think that financial rewards for the return of hostages should have been emphasized in place of massive bombing.

I suspect many individual members of HAMAS would turn over hostages for large bundles of Israeli cash.

Usually the Hamas squad demands that an Islamophobia clause to establish equivalence. Paypal and her terrorists are upset that they are being exposed as a Jew haters.

US money has already been used to provide rewards for Hamas terrorists. Both through the Palestinian Authority and through money to Iran, thanks to Obama and Biden.

I’m sure there are rights and wrongs on both sides of every issue, but I have to question the wisdom and integrity of the US government which funds both sides of every war on the globe. It’s almost as if we want continuous war and will do whatever it takes to foment it through our “color revolutions” - which are now being conducted in the USA itself.

But all that aside, it is never a good thing when simply telling the truth is forbidden. It’s the same crap we saw to silence anybody who questioned the Covid jabs, the stolen 2020 election, etc.

This is a time when we can’t afford to call truth-telling illegal, because the people deciding what can be said are not only staging a color revolution here but are also aligned with the WEF and their methods to exterminate 90% of the world’s population. Another Holocaust. In the name of “Holocaust remembrance”, the US government is going to facilitate a second Holocaust on the whole world? It’s insane.

There has been talk about forcing experimental drugs on “hesitant” people by putting it in the air, water, food, and mosquitoes. If these murderous thugs are able to do that kind of shit nothing will be impossible for them and 90% of the world’s population WILL be exterminated - Jews along with the rest of us (unless the biological weapons are manipulated to target only specific ethnicities, as Putin alleges was happening in the Ukraine labs).

Everything taken within context it almost seems like these pro-Palestinian “protests” may have been funded by somebody like George Soros, who wanted to push too hard and cause knee-jerk pushback that would enable the WEF to further its agenda. This legislation is extremely short-sighted and I am afraid of the damage it will cause to the whole world, including both Palestinians and Jews who I would like to protect.

This bill criminalizes teaching certain Bible verses. No more Easter service or Passion Plays. Anyone, especially GOPers voting for this is a traitor to the Constitution.
