Republican Reps. Zeldin, Stefanik and Budd introduced a resolution Wednesday to condemn the rise of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel sentiment in politics.
The resolution specifically called out Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, the leaders of the Women’s March, as well as Democratic Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar who have expressed their support for the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanction (BDS) movement.
The BDS movement calls for companies and groups to protest and penalize the state of Israel over its treatment of the Palestinian people. Many of those who are in opposition to the movement label it as anti-Semitic because they are only targeting one country to be penalized and not any other.
Congresswoman Tlaib was also asked in the resolution to explain her relationship with Abbas Hamideh, a man who was at her swearing-in ceremony and has previously expressed his belief that Israel does not the right to exist.
“From using the oldest anti-Semitic tricks in the book to rejecting Israel’s very right to exist, blatant anti-Jewish, anti-Israel hate is growing and normalizing the discrimination against the Jewish people this world vowed it would never accept again,” Zeldin stated in a press release sent to The Daily Caller. “Congress must immediately and unequivocally denounce this hatred in the United States and around the world, standing in solidarity against racism and discrimination in any form.”

Will not pass. The muslim gas will introduce a resolution condemning Israel and defaming Jews which will pass.
Anti-Semitism/Anti-Zionism is one of the high holy principles of the Demonrat Party.
Yet the Rats will still get 70-80% of the Jewish vote.
Proof that politicians have far too much time on their hands and far too little foresight.
That’s a good resolution.
Will NOT pass Congress, too many Jew haters there..the Rat party is now overrun with Jew hating bastards
Its because of abortion..American born Jews(Not talking about Orthodox Jews they vote Republican) their loyalty is to abortion the more the merrier. They could give a rats behind if Israel still exists tomorrow as long as they can abort their babies
Why, I ask, is a resolution needed for this????? Should be common sense. If it means keeping some away from influential committees, then yes..
Who cares? Our government is a joke. Well not really, they only exist to harvest votes so ridiculous stuff like this is promoted. Where were they when they had the majority and couldn’t repeal Obamacare, (as they all campaigned) couldn’t defund planned parenthood, and couldn’t fund border security?
I would guess that Pelosi will not allow this to come to a vote.
Proof that politicians have far too much time on their hands and far too little foresight.

It’s also proof that they are do-nothing virtue-signalers. Next they will introduce a resolution condemning evil in all forms. Then they’ll pat themselves on the back for how bold and provacative they themselves are.
Yes they will get the leftist Jewish vote, the secular Jews but never the Orthodox nor religious Jews.
OBTW, can’t the same be said of the Protestant and Catholic vote? How many anti-God, anti-religion folks who vote Dem were once Christians or at least identify as Christians? I bet the number of nominal Christians in the dem party is pretty high.
GOOD.

This stuff is not helpful at all. It has no practical benefit and will simply stoke more antisemitism as they say look at that special treatment.
Congresswoman Tlaib Is a Muslim,and under no obligation to respect our Kafir made laws and rules. She is justified in hating Jews as does Allah and Muhammad. She should be working to undermine our Infidel society and install Sharia.
Since her constituency is Muslim she doesn't have to worry about reelection, or care what us Infidel Americans think about her behavior. - Tom

Jews voted 71% for Hillary compared to 24% for Trump.
Yes they probably did, but American Jews are far more secular than most other Jews around the world. Leftists come in all shape, sizes and religions.
SMART! Get it on record. Even if they refuse a vote on it...STILL on the record.
