2020 Democrats skip AIPAC as party grapples with anti-Semitism
Washington Examiner ^ | 03/21/19

Posted on 03/21/2019 1:55:07 PM PDT by Liberty7732

Five Democratic presidential candidates say they will not attend this year's American Israel Public Affairs Committee policy conference.

The announcements come a day after progressive advocacy group MoveOn urged candidates to skip the conference, which is widely attended by lawmakers in both political parties.

Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Kamala Harris of California will not be attending, according to reports. Neither will independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is Jewish, nor former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro.

AIPAC GIVES A LOT OF MONEY. Hopefully the Jewish community will wake up.

Many don’t care about Israel.

Many who care about Israel don’t care about this issue enough to override the other reasons they vote dem.

I’m talking D Jewish folks, not R Jewish folks of course.

But if even 10 percent less donations and/or votes come in, it will help.

AIPAC has failed spectacularly in its mission to improve American-Israel relations, since it’s spent its entire existence spending billions of Jewish dollars to create a Democratic party that has become so anti-Semitic that Democratic presidential candidates actively boycott it.

On the other hand, its mission continues to be carried out with spectacular results by Donald Trump. Any AIPAC member who wants to improve American-Israel relations should resign, join the Republican party, and start buying Israel bonds.

GOP should assist Jexodus the Jewish version of Blexit for AA who are tired of being taken for granted with this open border and cheap labor Dems.

I don’t know if Jews will vote for Trump but even today the President called for recognition of the Golan heights as Israel sovereign land, Given how hard the Trump admin is working to bring peace to Israel, and protect it from the Isis, Hezzbollah, Syria and Iran, and of course PLO and Hamas American Jews should at least register as Indies and not vote for any Dem or give them any money.

Those who bless Israel will be blessed themselves. Those that don’t... well let’s just say I don’t want to be standing next to them in a thunderstorm.

...and if Omar hadn’t done her anti-semitic rant, would any of these politicians be boycotting?

Answer: OF COURSE NOT! Thus proving who now runs this party.

“AIPAC has failed spectacularly in its mission to improve American-Israel relations, since it’s spent its entire existence spending billions of Jewish dollars to create a Democratic party that has become so anti-Semitic that Democratic presidential candidates actively boycott it.”

I’m not sure that I agree with that. You have to look at what they (Israel and AIPAC) did accomplish for the past 30 years. Starting about 30 years ago with Bill Clinton, the Democrats were basically sick of supporting Israel (in fact, even Bush Sr. didn’t like them much, if at all), with Clinton trying to prod them into a horrific ‘peace agreement’. Thankfully the Palestinians came through when it counted and started suicide-bombing the crap out of Israel in the late 1990s thereby ending that threat to the Jewish state. Then it’s Obama’s turn, and even Obama, as much as he despised Israel, and Jews in general, was STILL forced to fake liking them due to political considerations.

Israel survived two president who HATED THEM, and continued to receive military aid and technology from just those presidents - whereas South Africa didn’t have a lobby to speak of this country and was forced to fold.

But now, obviously, things are MUCH DIFFERENT. Because of Omar, Talib, and AOC, the Democrats were forced to pick a side, Islam or Israel, and they of course picked Islam. But Israel has lasted 30 years longer than South Africa (even though Democrats have always hated both equally)...and now Israel may just be strong enough to not even need our aid, should, God forbid, a Democrat steal the White House in 2020.

I wonder if Lizzie Warren knows all the words to “Das Horst Wessel Lied”?

Grappling? They're not grappling, they're simply changing sides. Antisemitism has been tolerateed in the democrat party since the days of the KKK.
