Democratic nominee for president, Bernie Sanders, did it. He finally did it. His open and warm embrace of notorious and unabashed antisemites like Linda Sarsour, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, is a signal that his views on Israel and antisemitism are just as toxic if not more dangerous coming from him. The embrace is now complete with the surrogacy of Sarsour and the endorsements of Tlaib and Omar and their number one fan Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez; in other words, Bernie Sanders is Jeremy Corbyn. Let this be a warning, for we see where Corbynism has led the British Labour Party, once vaunted, now made toxic by an open embrace of the worst antisemitism has to offer. Corbyn considers himself friends with members of Hamas and other terror groups, and praised them as ‘freedom fighters’.
It appears to be too late for Sanders to disentangle himself from people who said Zionism “creeps me out” or ‘don’t humanize Israelis’ or a number of other nasty antisemitic remarks that betray a deep-rooted hatred for the Jewish people. But what of the other Democrats, is this what they want for their party? How many Jews will have to be sacrificed before it elicits the proper response from society at all levels?
Shame on the Democrats, and shame on Bernie Sanders for hugging antisemites so tightly instead of keeping a proper distance! History will not judge him lightly.
Bernie Sanders is the perfect example of Jewish anti-Semite. He was in a Hashomer Hatzeir Kibbbutz ,married to a shikse and considered a Jew minus everything which a Yid believes in
“Considered a jew” Correct. Jew = a Yid. (maybe not Torah True)
Thank you, Dov, my sentiments precisely !
Meanwhile, if Hashem has a specific measure of health and sustenance for the new year, I hope it gets directed toward those who do not consider Torah Judaism or Israel their arch enemies as Bernie does. I know this requires our tefilos and our merit.
The democrats and their propagandists in the fake news media are blaming all anti semitism on President Trump while they continue to defend and support the Jew haters in their caucus and hire Jew haters as their surrogates in their campaigns and elect Jew haters as vice chairs for the DNC.
Thank you Dov!! Always at the forefront so fearlessly saying it as it is
I’ve been writing on this form forever that this rusha is a Trutski ym”s he will not win the presidency , but just the thought that this vermoncan gain this amount of traction is extremely dangerous & scary אם ה’ לא ישמור עיר וכו’
And Dov will not be judged lightly by history neither for his fiery rhetoric time and again . . .
It’s about time the world knows “Israel is no Jewish state whatsoever” criticizing it and it’s war mongering behavior does not add up to antisemitism!
This is not good news for Israel and the Jewish People
I agree with the Pure Satmar; we should not give a green light to everything the government of Israel does. I remember, back in 1981, when the Israeli Police (with the approval of the Israeli Government), raided a Shul in Mea Shearim, on Erev Shabbos. The cops were angry at some demonstrators, who earlier threw some rocks at an archeological dig, nearby. Hence, the cops decided to take their wrath out on everyone, in the Shul, which was comprised of Hareidim, whom the secular cops despised. They broke down the doors (similar to what the Nazis did on Kristalnacht in 1938), and without mercy beat everybody inside with clubs, including old men, women, and young boys. They broke the bones of a number of Rabbonim, destroyed siddurim, and other holy objects, and threw them out the window. They also vandalized the Shul. They made many arrests, also, and mistreated many innocent congregants, who had nothing to do with the rock throwers. If this outrage had been perpetrated any place else in the world, there would have been massive protests. However, because it was done in EY, everybody, including the useless “Jewish leaders” in the USA”, turned a blind eye to the despicable acts which were committed that evening. It is not anti-semitic to criticize the Israeli Government. Many Israeli Jews do just that, and are not anti-semitic. Also, shortly before he died a few years ago, Shimon Peres apologized to the local Arab community within Israel, for a heinous incident, which occurred in 1956. The Israeli Government had a curfew in place during the Sinai Campaign. Evidently, because of its bureaucratic bungling, it did not inform the residents of a certain Arab village, within Israel proper. When several dozen residents of that village came home from work, the IDF opened fire on them indiscriminately with machine guns, killing nearly three dozen, including men and women. The perpetrators received a relatively light sentence for manslaughter. However, as stated, it took Shimon Peres fifty six years to apologize.
