These two freshman Jew haters and anti-Semites did not waste any time attacking Israel and the Jewish people the moment they arrived at Capitol Hill. Like their fellow Muslims, they consider Jews and Israel the sworn enemies of Islam. This hostility dates to the time of Muhammad’s treatment of the Jews in Medina. At first, expediently, Muhammad called the Jews “people of the book,” and accorded them a measure of tolerance until he gained enough power to unleash his devastating wrath upon them.

“Israel has hypnotized the world,” Omar tweeted in 2012. “May Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.”

Anti-Semitism has always existed throughout the ages for no valid reason. However, there is a new strain of violent anti-Semitism now widespread throughout the left, permeating deep into the Democrat party’s lowest and highest echelons and their left wing. It is a raw Jew-hatred that disguises itself as “anti-Zionism.”

For days, the Democrats struggled with whether to discipline lawmaker Ilhan Omar for her anti-Semitic views, debating whether Omar, one of two Muslim women in Congress, should be singled out, what other types of bias should be condemned in the text, and whether the party would tolerate opposing views on Israel. However, they could not find a way to blame her simply because she is a Muslim. Muslims all over the world receive a free pass because elected officials fear being labeled racist, even though Islam is not a race.

By granting Omar a free pass, the Democratic Party officially announced that using anti-Semitic diatribes will be tolerated at the highest level of the Democratic Party. It was disheartening when 22 Senate Democrats, including five presidential candidates, voted against legislation aimed at curbing the anti-Semitic boycott movement.

It appears that anti-Semitism is being normalized at the highest levels of government. Is it shocking that the hatred of Jews has seeped into academia, where thousands of professors support the anti-Semitic boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement?

Many universities in the U.S. are bastions and incubators of Useful Idiots. Far-left professors do more than teach their specialty subjects; they feel that they have a license to pontificate on any and all matters. That is why they are called “professors.” These self-appointed prima donnas cover themselves with the shield of academic freedom. Academic freedom is like liberty- it can be abused often and greatly. That is the price of liberty. Yet these abusers of freedom, the far left, will be among the first to be buried under the rubble of a free society’s collapse that they work so doggedly to bring about.

For example, a university professor refused to write a letter of recommendation for his student when he discovered she was planning to study in Israel. Then, more than 1,000 of his colleagues signed a petition in his support, stating they would do the same thing. This is an unbelievable response and unconscionable in the extreme to witness such bigoted behavior on display at an American university.
Unfortunately, social media has become a gutter filled with anti-Semitic websites, posts, and comments that reinforce, encourage, and publicize Jew-hatred. I personally have been banned by both Twitter and Facebook for no reason at all except for telling the truth and posting a picture of a Palestinian terrorist. There is no accountability whatsoever as to why Muslim terrorists and their fellow Democrats are free to say and post anything without repercussions. At the same time, a conservative is banned or has his account closed for expressing his factual and accurate opinion.

It is long overdue for responsible journalists and editors to oversee news and editorials, putting an end to the anti-Israel or anti-Jewish bias that often carries anti-Semitic undertones and presenting the unfiltered facts.

This does not imply that Israel cannot be criticized, but it does mean that it should be covered with the same level of objectivity as other countries and that its actions should be placed in historical and synchronous context.

In short, the Democratic Party has officially aligned itself with other anti-Semitic groups around the world.

The Democratic Party has deliberately put America on a precarious path to lose its freedom, American values, religious freedom, and much more. We must not only reject this but also be as vocal as possible in declaring the current Democratic Party an adversary of the United States and our Constitution. Their racist and tacit actions against the Jews must be condemned at all levels. The Democratic Party is no longer the party of JFK or Harry Truman; it has become the greatest threat to our national security and America’s survival as a nation.
