I like most of "The Squad," but IMO Cori Bush too frequently made openly anti-Semitic comments like these. This comes even after she's lost her race, where she vows to keep fighting back against AIPAC. Okay, hon, good luck with that.

Re: The Democrats
Too frequently? How often is an okay amount of openly anti-Semitic comments?

Re: The Democrats
Comments like those from the clip, even once is too often. Obviously. Don't know why she thought she could run and be re-elected despite saying things like that. I strongly support Gaza and peace in the region, but I abhor views like the ones she expressed.
Re: The Democrats
You have to be pro Israel and pro Palestinians as a US Dem politician or face consequences. The US is kind of split on the issue like abortion. Anti abortion makes you a Republican. Pro abortion makes you a Dem. Anti Israel in the US most likely makes you young and a Dem. Being pro Israel in the US can be any age, race or party. Dems have to try to split hairs to keep their constituents. Cons are generally pro Israel and they don’t have to balance anything to keep their constituents. This is a bonus for Cons.

Re: The Democrats
I don't really think anybody here is "anti-Israel." I strongly support Israel and our alliance with them and want the Israeli nation and people to be prosperous, safe, and happy. I just would like their government and military to stop killing and raping innocent Palestinian civilians.
Re: The Democrats
Both sides were found guilty of the same thing. You only see the Palestinian side. The Palestinian side started this latest war by raping and killing Israeli citizens. Israel responded like they do every time the Palestinian side tries to kill Israeli’s. The Palestinian side calls it defending their honor. I call it raping, murdering and taking hostages.
I want the whole 70+ year war to end with peace. The Palestinian side isn’t innocent in my book. I can see that. Some cannot. They are the ones getting their asses kicked at present in retaliation for raping, murdering, taking Israeli hostages and keeping this 70+ year war going on purpose.
Has Israel gone too far? Has the Palestinian side agreed to stop their war on Israel? No, they haven’t. Has Hamas agreed to stop trying to kill Israeli’s? No, they haven’t. Has Hezbollah agreed to stop trying to kill Israeli’s? No, they haven’t. Has Iran, the financial backing for all these groups aimed at killing Israeli’s agreed to stop trying to kill Israeli’s? No, they haven’t. Apparently Israel is expecting an attack by Hezbollah any moment for killing the leader of Hamas while he was in Iran.
We don’t see eye to eye on this Mori. I hate that Palestinian civilians are being killed. I hate that they and their leaders continue to bring this on their people decade after decade knowing they are putting their people in danger using them as human shields every time they attack Israel. Hamas knew Israel would retaliate. They were counting on it. That makes them FU.

Re: The Democrats
Are the Democrats anti-Israel?
Re: The Democrats
A lot of the young ones in college are.

Re: The Democrats
Don’t use anti-Israel and anti-Semitic interchangeably.
Also don’t use anti-Likud/anti-Bibi and anti-Israel interchangeably.
Re: The Democrats
The multiple anti Israel pro Palestinian demonstrations that occurred around the country at multiple colleges covered extensively by all of the media might have led me to believe that.

Re: The Democrats
In a just world, the leaders of Hamas as well as Bibi and select members of his "war cabinet" would be hanging next to each other at the Hague for crimes against humanity. Because both Israeli women and Palestinian children are human beings deserving our respect and protection.Mori Chu wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2024 11:20 amI don't really think anybody here is "anti-Israel."

Re: The Democrats
Yes, I agree with you. My bad. I should have said anti-Israel. I was mainly asking Nodack if he had supporting evidence for his claim that a lot of young Democrats are anti-Israel. But I mistakenly said anti-Semitic. I did not mean to conflate the two.
Re: The Democrats
Young voters prefer Palestinians — and Trump, new poll shows
48% of those ages 18 to 29 think Israel is intentionally killing civilians, and 55% oppose further US aid to the Jewish state
https://forward.com/fast-forward/574006 ... -war-poll/
Nearly half of young American voters, 46%, said they sympathize more with the Palestinians than with Israel, according to a poll published Tuesday — far more than the 27% who sided with the Jewish state.
Polling shows a huge age gap divides the Democratic Party on Israel
https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/20/politics ... index.html
The lion’s share (69%) of Democrats and Democratic-leaning younger than 35 disapprove of how Biden is responding to the war. Just 24% approve. It’s the inverse among older Democrats. Most Democrats 65 and older (77%) approve of Biden on this issue. Few (16%) disapprove.
When asked which side they sympathize with, Israelis or Palestinians, more, Democrats younger than 35 are far more likely to sympathize with Palestinians (74%) than Israelis (16%).
Most Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters (70%) believe that supporting Israel is in the national interest. This includes 87% of those 65 and older.
Democrats younger than 35 see things entirely differently. Just 40% think backing Israel is in the national interest of this country.
Young Americans are more pro-Palestinian than their elders. Why?

Re: The Democrats
Hmm. I really think the contrast that is becoming clear to voters in this election is one between an angry divisive party and a hopeful inclusive one.
