I bet Rashida Tlaib, (D. Hamas), does get a warm fuzzy when she thinks of the Holocaust. Her ancestors were certainly rooting for Hitler:
Tlaib of course is a long time activist against Israel and actively seeks its destruction. I can only assume that she supposes the average Democrat voter is so ignorant and illiterate that her past statements and actions will not be of concern to them. She might have a point on that, but she gets away with it simply because so much of the Left is now embracing anti-Semitism. The average Palestinian, although a Caucasian, is darker in skin color than the average Israeli, and in the modern Democrat party, race, at least of the darker-than-thou bastardization of the concept of race, trumps everything else. Additionally, the anti-Israelis are also anti-US, and that is enough to endear them to the Left.
I have long believed that the Democrats would come out in favor of cannibalism if it became popular on the Left, and thus the fact that Tlaib and Omar, the Bobbsey Twins of Jew hatred in Congress, are treated with kid gloves by the Democrat leadership, since their socialist wing is embracing such hatred themselves. When you play the game of identity politics, you always need groups to be the enemy. Jews are well on their way to playing that role for the modern Democrat party, in the wake of a growing population of Muslims that are tailor made to play the role of oppressed minority in the ongoing Leftist Fable of victimization that is the key of understanding what the Party of the Jackass has morphed into.
It’s such a big section that they couldn’t even pass a condemnation of Jew hate without having to make it kinda hateful itself.
Not only are Jews.. Jewish, most are: white, heterosexual and successful.
They’re simply anathema to intersectionality politics, must be considered an oppressor and never a victim.
Contrast the dithering of stroke-victim Pelosi in regard to this pair of gargoyles with the wretched treatment the worthless Republican leadership meted out to Steve King (for nothing other than irritating the media and various others who won’t vote Republican under any circumstance).
What’s bizarre about the career of both Tlaib and Omar is how little the particular shticks advance the interests of their actual constituents. Less than 4% of the population in Omar’s district is Somali and the Jews have done no injury to any component of Somali society; two-thirds of her district’s population is non-Hispanic white. Tlaib’s district has a black majority and Arabs of all sorts are a single-digit minority therein. One grasps for an explanation. It’s as if what the voters in those districts want is to flash an upraised middle finger at ordinary Americans and they don’t care whose middle digit it is.
Alan Dershowitz is the only prominent Democrat left with the stones to tell Tlaib to her face that her people’s problems are largely self-inflicted and they’ve done nothing sensible about them for 70-odd years, so buzz off, Tootsie.
Many things are ‘different’ when Muslims do them.
Same reason Barack Hussein Obama got eight years to try kill America. They voted for anti-American Obama and these two anti-Semite/anti-American Mohammedans in order to feel good about themselves: they aren’t islamophobes and racists.
In other news, a rash of anti-Semitic physical attacks (usullay sucker punches) by black on Jews in NYC is going unremarked. Seems as if it’s different when blacks do it, too.
Most Muslims are good, but is it because most Muslims are MINO?
(Muslim in Name Only).
The first step in solving, is to realize the problem.
I am tired of that bunch whining about their “Homeland”. BS. At Yalta, it was agreed that Stalin would keep the Kresy (the part of Poland east of the Curzon Line). Those Poles who were not already killed or deported to Siberia or Kazhakstan were given the boot out of Wolyn and Lvov.
The Germans in Prussia, Stettin, Breslau and the Sudetenland were ALL thrown out of their homes and sent packing.
All of those people had no choice but to get on with their lives. Yet the bench who can’t run a lemonade stand but supported Hitler and his mufti…Arafat’s uncle…whine and cry and moan and groan and commit terrorism.
Rename Jordan Palestine and send them there.
What I see in this sort of thing is that it’s making the Left have to say ‘Wait, we can’t just assume the worst, let’s let them explain and take their explanations at face value.’ For decades, the Left has been able to take anything said, twist it in the worst way possible, refuse to allow for explanation, and go on to wreck the person in general. But now it’s the same Left that is forced to back off and admit that sometimes we should let people explain themselves, rather than assume the worst. It will be interesting to watch.
Penguins Fan:
Not sure of your point on comparing all three of those events in Poland, Germany and the former Palestine Mandate. Are you saying (1) bad things happen in history and can’t be reversed, so deal with it or (2) you lose a war you get the victor’s idea of “justice”? The first is tragic, the second cynical. Which is you? Was it merely tragic that the Jews and Arabs couldn’t agree and the Arabs lost (as a fact) or are you implying they “deserved” to lose and if so why and from what point in the Mandate’s history?
“Most Muslims are good, but is it because most Muslims are MINO?

Dave, you are making the mistake of assuming that it is possible to have an honest conversation with Leftists. It isn’t. The only viewpoint or discussion that they care about or allowance thrones that advance their current political agenda. When something ceases to be useful to them, they shift tactics.

What a bunch of Leftist propoganda this is. 1. Israel was & is acting according to their God given right of self defense. If the Arabs had “won” all of the times they have attacked Israel, another holocaust would have occurred–or do you not listen to the words that come out of Israel’s attackers’ mouths? The “Palestinians” are in this situation as a tool for the larger & very rich Muslim/Arab nations around Israel & Palestine who have the money & resources to meet the Palestinian needs–and rather than do so–the Muslim majority nations around them supply rockets to attack Israel, etc. Arabs & Muslims work & live in Israel in peace. No Israeli can work & live in Muslim majority nations–in peace. Christians, either. So stop with the propoganda, please.
T Shaw: The attacks are being commented on. De Blasio is blaming white supremacy. You can’t make this stuff up. As far as the racist, sexist, anti-Christian, anti-Semitic, pro-death Democratic party, I just want to watch it play itself out. The Left always, eventually eats its own.

His point is pretty clear. There are constructive and destructive approaches to misfortune. The Arabs in that part of the eastern Mediterranean have been given support and succor for maintaining a destructive response. They’ve received it from the Arab governments and they’ve received it from the UN in the form of a dedicated agency created and maintained to respond to their ‘plight’ and in the form of countless ‘resolutions’. They’ve consistently maintained political stances which preclude any solution. What’s set in among normal people (after 70 years of this cr!p) is compassion fatigue. The Democratic Party elites have this pair of grotesques in their midst, and they are too craven and addled to just toss them under the bus where they belong.

Thank you for the civil response. Your point would be my point.
