Please, pro-Israel Democrats: Rescue your party

Dems, I must ask you: Is winning in the Midterms worth the price of sacrificing your ideals, of electing radical, Israel-hostile candidates?

“The latest media darling, and “future of our party” according to DNC Chairman Tom Perez, is 28-year-old Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, she of the bright, confident smile and dim —though no less confident — command of policy. “

“She knows that Israel’s killing of armed Hamas rioters and saboteurs storming the Gaza border was “a massacre” and that the “occupation” is “a crisis of humanitarian conditions.” When challenged to explain further, laughs that “I am not the expert on geopolitics on this issue.”

Up-and-coming Democrats already assured of winning congressional seats include @IlhanMN (D-MN) (“Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evils of Israel.”)

And @RashidaTlaib (D-MI) (“Palestinian-American” socialist and BDS activist who deemed Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) guilty of racism for meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu).

Other celebrated new faces include @ACampaNajjar (CA)(grandson of the mastermind of the Munich Olympics terror massacre who, though claiming to support peace efforts, has referred to his terrorist grandfather as a legend and hero, and receives funding from Hamas-linked CAIR.)

@LeslieCockburn (VA)(who authored a conspiratorial book revealing “Jewish control” of global institutions and U.S. foreign policy, and finding Israeli manipulation behind nearly every foreign crisis faced by America—cited favorably by David Duke.);

And @ScottWallacePA (PA) (whose Wallace Global Fund has granted hundreds of thousands of dollars to organizations that support BDS, including to the so-called Jewish Voice for Peace).

Perhaps the most disturbing illustration of this trend is the gubernatorial race in Florida. Democrat @AndrewGillum, 39, has been trained, employed, financed, supported, endorsed and funded by hard-left individuals and organizations that are particularly hostile to Israel.

He’s received $1.2M from George Soros. Gillum accuses Israel of using Hamas rocket attacks to “justify” its “outsized response” against Palestinians. Furthermore, he says that Israel’s disproportionate “firepower” is a primary cause of regional instability.

And look at the company he keeps. No organization is closer to Gillum than Dream Defenders, a radical movement aligned with Black Lives Matter that helped raise $3.5M for Gillum’s primary campaign.

It advocates an end to “disaster capitalism,” the abolition of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and says that “police and prisons have no place in “‘justice’.”

Dream Defenders strongly supports the BDS movement, considering the entire State of Israel to be a “continued settler colonial project.” It regurgitates the revisionist libel that “Israel was declared on top of stolen Palestinian land, with Zionist militias committing massacres..

... and forced evictions, then immediately ethnically cleansing over 750k Palestinians from the lands, and internally displacing thousands more.

Dem Socialist @AndrewGillum, running for governor of FL, has long supported radical left-wing group Dream Defenders, whose founder, Phillip Agnew, has ties to Ahmad Abuznaid, a supporter of U.S.-designated terrorist group the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)

The Dream Defenders, founded in 2012 and whose members volunteered and fundraised for Gillum’s primary campaign, advocates for the anti-Israel narrative, including the BDS movement, exemplifying the trend of black anti-Semitism in the United States.

The organization has labeled Israel as a “continued settler colonial project” whose treatment of the Palestinians is similar to an “apartheid” nation.

Without acknowledging Hamas’ frequent launching of rockets at Israel, from schools and other civilian centers, and using women and children as human shields, Dream Defenders accuses Israel of developing “its latest military weaponry by attacking the civilian population of Gaza.”

During a 2015 trip, Dream Defenders met with Omar Barghouti, founder of the BDS movement, and Diana Buttu, who served in the PLO during the Second Intifada in the early 2000s, when the PLO perpetrated attacks against Israelis on buses, and in restaurants and other public places.

The delegation also met with artist Ayed Arafah in the Dheisheh Refugee Camp, which is recognized as a PFLP camp.

“Mayor Gillum has said himself that he ‘could not be prouder’ of Phillip Agnew, now named Umi Selah, the co-founder of Dream Defenders.”

As mayor, Gillum welcomed and encouraged attendees at an event organized by CAIR in support of BDS. He’s also a graduate of the Rockwood Leadership Institute, a training program to churn out progressive revolutionaries. @VanJones68 and blatant anti-Semite @lsarsour are graduates

Troubling? Unbelievably, with a complicit press and shameless Jewish and Dem leadership, he’s getting a pass. His campaign scrubbed his history: photos of Gillum with BDS activists and anti-Israel radicals have been replaced by photos of him in a synagogue wearing a kippah.

For Dems, YES. It’s worth it.

Is winning worth the price of sacrificing all ideals (and possibly the future of Israel)? Of electing radical, Israel-hostile candidates who automatically become Democratic leaders and rising stars? Of Corbyn-izing the party for years to come?
