Again, this is nothing new: young liberals in college have long taken the side of the Palestinians and showed Israel/Jew hatred. That attitude has grown exponentionally over the years, especially with the growth of the Internet and on smartphones
Democrats Splinter Over Israel as the Young, Diverse Left Rages at Biden
The Democratic Party’s yearslong unity behind President Joe Biden is beginning to erode over his steadfast support of Israel in its escalating war with the Palestinians, with a left-leaning coalition of young voters and people of color showing more discontent toward him than at any point since he was elected.
From Capitol Hill to Hollywood, in labor unions and liberal activist groups, and on college campuses and in high school cafeterias, a raw emotional divide over the conflict is convulsing liberal America.
While moderate Democrats and critics on the right have applauded Biden’s backing of Israel, he faces new resistance from an energized faction of his party that views the Palestinian cause as an extension of the racial and social justice movements that dominated American politics in the summer of 2020.
In protests, open letters, staff revolts and walkouts, liberal Democrats are demanding that Biden break with decades long U.S. policy and call for a cease-fire.
The Democrat base has become more and more radicalized this Century and has been willing to listen and follow all the Muslim extremist propaganda. Much like every Good Democrats must be an abortion fanatic, hate guns (even if they own them), and Believe in ‘climate change’, among others, they must also take the side of the Palestinian terrorists and bash Israel and Jews.
The political power of the Israel skeptics within the party is untested, with more than a year remaining until the 2024 presidential election. Their efforts have been fractious and disorganized, and they have little agreement on how much blame to lay at Biden’s feet or whether to punish him in November 2024 if he ignores their pleas.
And yet Biden is already struggling with low Democratic enthusiasm, and it would not take much of a slip in support from voters who backed him in 2020 to throw his reelection bid into question. His margin of victory in key battleground states was just a few thousand votes — hardly enough to spare a significant drop-off from young voters alienated by his loyalty to a right-wing Israeli government they see as hostile to their values.
And that’s the rub: will they refuse to vote for Biden in 2024? Will they get out and vote for other Dems and leave the presidential spot empty or vote someone else? Or stay home? Democrat voters are fanatical, and you can usually anticipate them getting out no matter what. If Hitler ran as a Democrats they’d get out the vote, and that’s not getting too crazy.
Perhaps most concerning for Biden is that in the halls of Congress, the most critical Democratic voices are Black and Hispanic Democrats who helped fuel his 2020 victory. As of Thursday, all 18 House members who had signed onto a resolution calling for an “immediate de-escalation and cease-fire in Israel and occupied Palestine” were people of color.
They are all the most insane, wackadoodle, loony tunes ones, most are members of the Democratic Socialist wing, and many are themselves Muslim extremists, influencing the others.
“We process pain, deprivation and cruelty personally, having either encountered it in our current lives or having had historical connections to it with our ancestors,” said Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman of New Jersey, one of the cease-fire resolution’s co-sponsors. “So we understand that cruelty and war and violence do not have positive outcomes.”
This is the nutbaggery of the social justice movement, where they look at things that mostly happened 50+ years ago, put themselves in the Narrative, and then commiserate with groups who are designated terrorist organizations by the U.S., EU, and UN.
For Democrats in Congress and in liberal groups in Washington, pressure to oppose Biden’s Israel policy is bubbling up from younger, more progressive staff members who have grown up in an environment more doubtful about Israel.
If they do not like it they can resign and go work elsewhere. Anyway, it is a long piece which basically says that these young Democrats, and some older ones, are Jew and Israel haters and support Islamic terrorist groups.
The New York Times said:
If we assume that “moderate Democrats” mostly means older Democrats, it makes plenty of sense. Older Democrats remember the Six Day War, and older Democrats remember that the Arabs were never really to be trusted, and older Democrats tended to believe in equality and integration, not “racial and social justice”.
More, “moderate Democrats” are the Democrats who have actually had to work for a living, and not the ‘youts’ who expected everything to be handed to them. They’re the ones who remember starting out at the entry levels of their professions, whether professional or ‘blue collar,’ unlike the viral girl combitching that she wasn’t being considered for $150-$200K jobs right out of college. And “moderate Democrats” are the ones who mostly believe that queers — I can now use that word, since they’ve adopted it themselves — ought to be left alone to do their own thing, and don’t care if Jack wants to claim to be Jill, but have enough sense to know that Will swimming as ‘Lia’ is patently unfair.
Simply put, “moderate Democrats” are the people with whom most Republicans disagree but whom we can still see as reasonable and sensible.
The problem is that the younger Democrats are really wild-eyed extremists, out of touch with reality. They grew up on comic books and superhero films, and see women as being perfectly able to kick men’s asses in races, fistfights, and everything else, so they’re shocked, shocked! that most women can’t, they think that Jack calling himself Jill means that he really is Jill, and that it’s a hate crime if other people still see him as a mutilated Jack. And they seem to think that socialism is something that really works.
Dana, by your definition Elwood would have to be 10 years old. Yes he’s that stupid.
Jack calling himself Jill means that he really is Jill, and that it’s a hate crime if other people still see him as a mutilated Jack.
More importantly, the youths of today, and democrats in generalbhave been taught that they are never allowed to question the approved narrative. The trans issues today are particularly instructive because a tiny fraction of a tiny fraction of activists are driving the narrative for the gays and lesbians and those people are starting to disassociate with the trans as “they are not with us”.
Mr Teach is either lying to you and/or ignorant.
Those young people don’t hate Jews but hate what Israel (and the world) has done to Palestinian Arabs. See the difference?
It’s like saying old white conservatives hate Blacks just because they think Blacks are inherently evil.
Rimjob: Those young people don’t hate Jews but hate what Israel (and the world) has done to Palestinian Arabs. See the difference?
Care to elaborate, chubby?
Mr Elwood P Dowd typed:
Yet when “those young people” express themselves, they express themselves in ways which tell us that they hate Jews, not just Israeli policy.
They have shown you who they are; you should believe them!
And the nuCon people have shown us who they are, and we should believe them.
For example Abigail Jo Shry of Alvin, Texas phoned Judge Chutkan (Trump’s DC “persecutor”):
“Hey you stupid slave nigger. You are in our sights, we want to kill you. If Trump doesn’t get elected in 2024, we are coming to kill you, so tread lightly, bitch. You will be targeted personally, publicly, your family, all of it.”
When the FBI paid her a visit she told them, “We want to kill Sheila Jackson Lee”, but had no immediate plans to travel to DC “to carry out anything.” “If Sheila Jackson Lee comes to Alvin, then we need to worry.”
Abby Shry has been “criminally charged four times in the past year for engaging in similar conduct.” She was convicted in September 2022 in two cases, misdemeanor resisting arrest and misdemeanor criminal mischief and was sentenced to 30 days in jail. Her father testified “that she sits on her couch daily watching the ‘news’ while drinking too many beers. She then becomes agitated by the news and starts calling people and threatening them.”
Should the government limit Abby’s access to a firearm??
