The party of jihad and Jew-hatred takes up where the Nazis left off. If there was any doubt in the minds of Americans (and most especially Jewish Americans) who listen with half an ear as to the deep, ugly antisemitism of the left, proof is in abundance.
The Democrats oppose Israel as they oppose America – hatred of the good for being the good.

Democrats Move to Block ‘Mega’ Pro-Israel Bill, Prolong Gov’t Shutdown
Top Dems walk back agreement to bring vote on pro-Israel bills
BY: Adam Kredo, Free Beacon, January 7, 2019 4:59 am
Democratic leaders late Sunday evening vowed to derail a vote on a package of pro-Israel bills despite those measures having received broad bipartisan support in previous Congresses, essentially ensuring the partial government shutdown continues.
The 17-day shutdown continued this week after top Democrats declared late in the weekend no deal had been reached, but Congress has remained funded and is not part of the partial shutdown.
With Congress open, top GOP Senate leaders had scheduled a vote Tuesday to move forward on what congressional insiders describe as a “mega” pro-Israel bill, including measures addressing Israel and Jordan’s security and addressing boycotts of Israel, amid uncertainty generated by the Trump administration’s new policy to withdraw U.S. forces from Syria.
Top Democrats signaled Sunday they would not allow consideration of the legislation. Sens. Chris Van Hollen (D., Md.), Ben Cardin (D., Md.), and Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) all came out against a vote on the pro-Israel legislation.
ADVERTISINGThe opposition comes amid a new class of Democrats in Congress fiercely opposed to Israel and the Jewish people.
The national security bill is a closely watched barometer among the pro-Israel community, as it will force newly elected members to stake out a clear position on support for Israel and U.S. national security priorities in the region. Democratic leaders are fearful of putting their new class of members on the record, sources said, particularly in light of a newfound support in Congress for the Israel boycott movement.
In addition to providing funding for key pro-Israel priorities, the bill also addresses a Jordan defense cooperation measure, as well as sanctions on Syria and a separate measure to combat the Boycott, Sanctions, and Divestment movement, or BDS, an anti-Israel moves that wages economic boycotts on the Jewish state and its people.
Top GOP leaders in the Senate are said to have taken control of the measures amid uncertainty in the Trump administration’s newly announced policy to withdraw U.S. forces from Syria. Senate Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) invoked a procedural method to expedite consideration of the bill and move it straight to a vote on the floor.
However, Democratic leaders balked.
“It’s absurd that the first bill during the shutdown is legislation which punishes Americans who exercise their constitutional right to engage in political activity,” Sanders said in a tweet, referring to the bill that would oppose the BDS movement. “Democrats must block consideration of any bills that don’t reopen the government. Let’s get our priorities right.”
One senior congressional official familiar with backroom dealings taking place over the weekend, expressed confusion as to why Democrats would seek to block national security measures, and in doing so, prolong the federal shutdown.
“Democrats should be all over this thing. These are bills Rand Paul tried to block, so they could talk about divisions on our side,” the source said. “It’s about bolstering allies endangered around Syria, so they could use it to hit Trump for withdrawing troops. And it’s pro-Israel without having anything to do with the peace process, so they get easy votes. But their progressive base hates Israel so much these are apparently tough votes they want to avoid.”

Yes
– the Democrats’ one never-ending goal
– is to create and foster inequalities
– by either pushing some people down [slaves, illegal labor]
– or by pushing some people up [socialists, feminists, gays]
– because they never really understood what ‘equality before God’
– really means

One can always count on the Democrats confirming their detestation of The State of Israel, along with their deep-seated antisemitism. Nothing is shocking when it comes to the Democrats, the Progressives’ political and social base, diktat of hatred for Jews and others of the non-Muslim peoples, citizenry on this planet.

“Morality is that which furthers the revolution” – Communist aphorism
– and Jews do not further the revolution
– [because they assimilated into the main-stream culture]
– and therefore, by communist standards
– Jews are immoral

Islamists, however, are highly moral
– by communist standards
– because they refuse to assimilate into the main-stream culture
– and Islamists make great shock troops
– to disrupt and spread terror in the main-stream culture

The fact that Jews still, in large numbers, support them has always been a source of deep consternation to me-just as it has the fact that so many who consider themselves to be ‘Christians’ do the same.

I agree, WM1, it boggles one’s mind; I’m pleased you mentioned that there are Christians of the same bilious loathing, antisemitism.

Our Lord, Jesus Christ (the Messiah), was Jewish. Far too many Christians tend to forget that. Shame on them. It speaks to their own ignorance.

Exactly, I agree wholeheartedly; for some ignorance is bliss choosing to live in denial and ignorance. I recall hearing antisemitic vitriol from Christians and would shake my head with disgust.

Priorities are:
• Outlawing Muhammadist deception & control of social media, education, government & media & outlawing incitement to the unjust Muhammad war & law worldwide
in the USA, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Australia, Syria, Europe, Israel, Russia, Africa, globally & freeing the African slaves in Saudi Arabia to Mauritania*, banning the lifelong torture of clitodirectomy & freeing the atheists & others imprisoned by Muhammadists & the Florida anti-Mosque protester & close the Mosque & all Mosques including the loudspeakers.
*Africans are enslaved in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Yemen, Kuwait, Lebanon, Bahrain, North-Sudan, Libya, Algeria, Mauritania, Niger, Mali, Somalia, Nigeria in emulation of unjust Muhammad who started the global African slave-trade by saying his unproven deity had turned Africans black so Africans’ descendants would be slaves to Arabs & Turks.

Jews got roped into socialism
– in the 1800s because the monarchy system in Europe
– was organized to victimize Jews [e.g., Dreyfus affair]
– so they tended to support anything
– that opposed the status quo monarchies
– they did not fully understand that Marx actually hated Jews
– and he coined the term ‘holocaust’

I am a Trump voter and frequent critic of Democrats in general because I think many of them are just simply unhinged since their favorite candidate lost in the last election.
But on this single item, the Democrats are right.
it is illegal and unconstitutional and counter to the oath a US CITIZEN takes to the United States when they proclaim allegiance and loyalty to a foreign power.
Israel loyalty oaths are an abomination to the Constitution.

There are no “Israel loyalty oaths”. This is part of a PR campaign. https://reason.com/volokh/2018/12/18/everyone-is-misreporting-the-texas-bds-l/print

incorrect.
There are about a dozen states in the US that have had loyalty oath type language snuck into the contracts for employment or doing business with the state ( thou shall not boycott or take actions against the interests of Israel).
There is an ongoing court case in Texas about such language.
For you to imply otherwise is dishonest or uninformed.
Which is it?

I am familiar with the Texas case, and Ms Amawi. AS I have said elsewhere. The law does not prohibit her from boycotting anything. Her signing the clause would simply be a statement of fact that her speech pathology business does not boycott Israel. This is all political theater. Check this out if you are interested. https://reason.com/volokh/2018/12/18/everyone-is-misreporting-the-texas-bds-l/print

Obama did more to destroy the relationship between the US and Israel than any president before him. Enough said.
