As always, the contents of this blog constitute a compendium of multiple media reports supplemented by my personal opinion where indicated.
I have published a multitude of blogs regarding antisemitism, including its origins, its history, its omnipresence and the danger of the false comfort of American Jews. I don’t wish to regurgitate all of that here and now.is It is readily available for those who wish to find it. Rather, the primary theme of this blog will be to illustrate absolutely and definitively the spread of antisemitism in the Dem Party.
As I have written several times antisemitism is not a new phenomenon. It has been omnipresent for thousands of years. Sometimes it has been covert, lurking just below the surface. At other times, such as now, it has burst forth like an erupting volcano.
The radical left wing of the Dem Party and its allies in the mainstream media have been trying, with some success, to portray itself as “socialist” or “progressive.” This is false. They are antisemitic communists who want to blow up the US constitution and the American values of free enterprise, capitalism and freedom of choice that have been a cornerstone of America for 250 years. This is not hyperbole. This is not exaggeration. This is not political postering. They have blatantly and openly espoused these goals. They have been published all over the internet and are easily researched if one cares to look. There policies are reminiscent of Soviet Russia back in the day and could have been written by Karl Marx.
In that vein the recent primary results are most disturbing. Dozens of radical candidates have defeated moderate, veteran Dems. They are aggressive, well-organized and well-funded. They have taken full advantage of the reality that less that half of voters bother to vote in off-year elections, and even fewer in primaries. In some blue jurisdictions a primary victory is tantamount to election. It’s important to note that although these candidates may differ in some degree regarding the radical nature of their policies they are all united in their hatred of Israel and Jews.
For example, the victor in the Michigan Senate primary, Abdul El-Sayad, boasts as one of his principal supporters prominent social media activist Hasan Piker, a notorious, unabashed antisemite who once blogged that America “deserved 9/11.” In my opinion Piker’s reputation will be a liability in the general election. I am not the only one who feels that way. Commentators such as Neera Tanden, the head of the Center for American Progress, has opined that Piker would “alienate general election voters” and provide GOP Mike Rogers a “path to victory” in the general election. Another of El-Sayad’s supporters is Mohammad Bager Oazwini, a Muslim cleric based in Dearborn, MI, who, in a sermon, celebrated Senator Lindsey Graham’s death, wished the same for President Trump and blamed them for fomenting “genocide” in Gaza.
And then there is the candidate for governor of Wisconsin, Francesca Wong, who has advocated the elimination of Thanksgiving. She is so “out there” that Bernie Sanders has declined to endorse her.
As a final example we have James Talarico, Dem candidate for Senate in Texas. He is locked in a close race with Attorney General Ken Paxton. Apparently, the voters have forgotten or chosen to ignore Talarico’s previous comments such as housing illegals to prevent deportation, denigrating ICE, his comments in 2021 that there are “six chromosome variations” (widely interpreted as “six genders,”) and accusing schools of “Christo-fascism.”
I expect that in campaigning for the general election these three and others will do what extremists always do, that is moderate or “spin” their positions, claim they were misquoted, and deny they said what they said even though it is one tape. Unfortunately, this gaslighting often works, and then following the election the candidate reverts back to his or her true policies. The most recent example of this would be Virginia governor Abigail Spanberger.
Let’s not forget comrade Zo. His latest inanity was threatening to arrest Netanyahu if and when he came to NYC. After he realized he lacked the legal standing to do that he backed off. However, his anti-Netanyahu/anti-Israel/antisemitic rhetoric have stirred up the legion of anti-Israel, anti-Netanyahu and antisemitic activists in advance of the upcoming UN meetings. In my view the result will be massive demonstrations and possible violence.
CONCLUSION
The results of the recent primaries highlight the continuing surge of the radical left wing of the Dem Party. The moderate Dems and the independents continue to aid and abet this by ignoring the grim reality. They are the majority and have the ability to crush this movement, but they continue to appease. This is akin to feeding a hungry lion in the hope that it will not eat you. Eventually, however, you run out of food, and it does eat you.
The much balleyhooed “big tent” theory is a sham. As I denoted in detail in my blogs “The Camel’s Nose” and the “Trojan Horse” the radicals have no interest in sharing. They want nothing less than a complete takeover, first of the Dem Party, then of the country. It’s not too late to stop them, but as Yogi Berra once said “it gets late early.”
