The big wigs in the Party aren’t sure about going as far as their unhinged, Jew hating and Hamas supporting base wants
DNC punts on dueling Israel resolutions as Chair Ken Martin calls for bridging the divide
The Democratic National Committee delayed making a final decision on a pair of dueling resolutions on the U.S.-Israel relationship, with Chair Ken Martin calling for Democrats to “keep working through” an issue that continues to roil the party.
Democrats had appeared headed for a showdown on Tuesday as the DNC’s resolutions committee considered the competing resolutions, one of which called for a military arms embargo and suspension of military aid to Israel.
The committee initially voted to reject that measure while advancing the one backed by Martin, which called for “unrestricted” aid to Gaza and a two-state solution. But soon after the arms embargo vote failed, Martin announced he was withdrawing his successful resolution, after speaking briefly with the backers of the vote on the sidelines of the meeting.
“There’s a divide in our party on this issue,” Martin said, when announcing he’d pulled his resolution. “This is a moment that calls for shared dialogue, calls for shared advocacy.”
Has Martin seen what his voters are calling for?
He’s from Minneapolis, where they fly Hamas flags
The vote on the resolutions had become a kind of proxy battle for wings of the party — and a test of Democrats’ continued shift on Israel amid a brutal war with Hamas. Martin’s resolution represented a more traditionally mainstream compromise approach. But progressives had pushed the failed measure that called for an arms embargo and recognition of a Palestinian state.
They, like the Palestinians (which no other Muslim nation wants to let in), want Israel erased. The 2 state solution emboldens Hamas, Hezbollah, and the other Islamic terrorist groups.
The defeated resolution contained similar language to a Senate resolution led by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) last month, which 44 senators — a majority of the Senate Democratic Caucus — signed onto. While that arms embargo resolution failed, it gained support from 12 new Democratic senators since the previous it had been considered, the latest in a series of signs that Democrats’ frustration is deepening with Israel’s conduct and the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Funny how they never have anything bad to say about Hamas or how Palestinians give them shelter.
Some resolution committee members raised concerns that Minnerly’s resolution did not mention Hamas, and “I’d like to see the onus of a ceasefire, not only with the right-wing government but with Hamas, and it does not mention that,” said Harini Krishnan, a DNC member from California.
You won’t get it, Harini.
The Democratic Party of today’s America are a strong lesson on how der Führer and his minions were able to turn millions of Christian Germans into people who tried to kill every Jew in the world. While there haven’t been many, there have been at least a few who have openly criticized Adolf Hitler from not finishing the job.
Sadly, there are a few conservatives who have fallen into anti-Semitism as well, but far fewer than among the left.
The usually thoughtful Mr Dana accuses liberals of being anti-Semitic, while dismissing the supposed “fewer” anti-Semites on the right. “Jews Won’t Replace Us!”, the rightists shouted during the Unite the Right riots.
Again, calling another a Jew-hater for criticism of Israel’s policies on Gazans is dishonest and lazy. And Mr Dana is wise enough to realize that.
Babies, children, women and men are being systematically starved by the government of Israel.
The Israel Right or Wrong crowd celebrate the killings of Palestinians and of course, journalists.
It’s simple. MAGAts hate Muslims more than the hate Jews, who reject Christianity and do NOT believe Jesus was the Son of God. American Jews were/are deeply involved in the left-led civil rights era, that the rightists blame for many of America’s current ills!!
Why are most American Jews allied with the left and not the right? Are they stupid? Naive? Evil?
Israelis understandably do not feel safe being surrounded by countries and peoples who hate them, and they have the right to defend themselves.
There is big difference between the State of Israel and the current government of Israel. Netanyahu has a vet very slim majority support of Israeli voters. Judy live here in the USA. People worldwide may live the USA but hate the current government represented by Trump.
Wacko Trump has made a 180 degree course adjustment concerning student visas: new marching orders for his debut followers is we live foreign students especially Chinese students. 600000 visas will be given to them. How will Mt Teach react to this new about face matching forward into the last again ?
