The Democratic Socialists of America and Their Anti-Semitism Problem |
2018-09-07 |
"Like most American Jews, I was raised with the delusion that Israel was a safe haven for me," Julia Salazar wrote on Mondoweiss, an anti-Semitic hate site, while denouncing the Jewish State. Salazar’s rant had appeared on a racist site whose creator had complained that his publication had been banned from DailyKos because of "my repeated insistence on talking about the large Jewish presence in the American establishment and the importance of Jewish money in the political process" and one of whose editors had declared, "I do not consider myself an anti-Semite, but I can understand why some are." In reality, Salazar had been baptized as a Catholic, her uncle was a Jesuit priest, and her brother made it clear that no one in the family was Jewish. The Jewish part of her past was as fake as the rest. And it was this biography that the Democratic Socialists of America candidate was running on. Because as a Jew she can get extra points by attacking Israel? Would it really balance the points she'll lose from "Afro American", "Hispanic", and "educated" voters? |

#7 A "Democrat socialist" is a socialist. The word democrat does not modify the word socialist. Instead democrat and socialist have come to mean the same thing. |

#6 Sorry. Despite the occasional fake news story about how they are "wising up," the majority of American Jews would vote for Eichmann if he was running as a democrat. |

#5 Claiming to be black just might get one a leadership position with the local NAACP chapter. |

#4 Claiming to be black is still verboten, though? Ideology and Genealogy may be coincident but not causative. |

#2 I don't care who identifies as what but how they act. See the Non-Trumpers who claimed they were conservatives for so many years. |
