Josh Shapiro May Have Been Too Pro-Israel — and Too Jewish — for Democrats
Breitbart ^ | 08.06.2024 | Joel B. Pollak

Vice President Kamala Harris passed over Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) as her running mate Tuesday for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) — confirming fears Shapiro would prove too pro-Israel, and too Jewish, for the ticket.

In the week leading up to the pick, as Shapiro emerged as the frontrunner, there were reports of internal rebellions within the Democratic Party, largely due to his strong pro-Israel views, which included skepticism of peace talks. Hearing there was a progressive revolt last night over Shapiro as VP, several WH staffers that went all in on Palestine (wearing the keffiyeh, attending protests) openly threatening to quit, one donor also threatening to withhold millions

Correction . . . Dearborn Muslims have the necessary votes to flip Michigan. Of course the whole city does.

That’s a duh.

So we now have an overtly anti semitic pro radical Islam ticket.

Shapiro lost bigtime b/c of his $295,000 sexual harassment cover-up scandal.

Shapiro knows plenty........something so egregious by
a top staffer does not disappear——it gets talked about.

You have to wonder whether Shapiro and staff were getting “vicarious
thrills” while discussing sexually explicit talk and filthy behavior.

Talk like having the girl “requesting” getting bent over a desk for sex.


Was the $295,000 to keep the victim quiet, tax dollars?

Or did Shapiro shut her up using campaign donations?

Shapiro’s volunteering for the IDF as a young man would have been a wild waving red flag for the Pali crazies—particularly if there actual pictures of him in Israel at the time.

The Palis would have been protesting wherever he went, terrorized his family etc.

My read is he said a hard “no”—and I don’t blame him.

Shapiro is sooo relieved to not be the VP pick. First because he will not be forced to support future anti-Israel foreign policies, second because he will not be forever connected to a weak loser ticket, third because his future viability as a Presidential candidate will be preserved.

The aide, Mike Vereb, was known to aggressively and openly pursue sexual relationships with subordinate staffers when he served in the PA House. He was bad news many years ago.

Anyone with future political ambitions doesn’t want to be linked to Harris.

There seems to be a correlation between anti-Israel and anti-America.

But there is less correlation between pro-Israel and pro-America.

From my experience living among them in NYC and Los Angeles, the majority of Jews are Zionist liberals. They support destructive policies for the West (open borders, gun control, anti-military), but the opposite for Israel (border control, guns for self-defense, love for the IDF).

When I went to graduate school in the 1980s, I remember a Jewish woman who was typically liberal, yet carried her books in an IDF satchel. (I don't know if she had actually been to Israel, or merely carried that satchel out of ethnic pride).

I figured she wouldn’t pick the Jew. The muzzies would have ripped up Shitcago.

She picks an old white leftist turkey who Ilhan Omar likes.

Poso is not credible. Let’s wait for a more credible source to confirm this.

the truth is most likely that he didn’t want the job, and the 2nd most likely scenario is that Harris couldn’t risk him upstaging her since she is such a weak candidate.

It boils down to this: the Democrats are pro-Islam. That is anti Christian, anti-Jewish, & anti-Hindu; a Party that has adopted bigotry as an official policy.

I note that the support of your statement that follows focuses on your observations of "the majority of Jews," and not Americans who support Israel in general. Meanwhile the style of "pro-Israel" of that demographic currently has its hamas hugger trend going on.

Shapiro had to choose between the IDF and the Democrats.
