As expected the anti-Semitic Democrats blasted President Trump for his pro-Jewish policies in Judea and Sumeria. CAIR’s useful idiot Bernie Sanders was naturally the first to express his disgust.
To make matters worse is that the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC did not have the courage to praise President Trump for this historic decision, out of fear of offending the Democrat Party leadership.
AIPAC (and other American Jewish groups) do not understand that their unwillingness to confront anti-Israel Democrats is making them irrelevant. It is also making America much less safe for Jews.
Leading Democratic presidential candidates denounce US settlement decision
Frontrunners Biden, Sanders, Warren, Buttigieg speak out against Trump administration’s announcement that settlements not ‘inconsistent with international law’
By TOI, November 19, 2019:
US Democratic presidential candidates, including frontrunners Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg, on Monday condemned US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s announcement that the Trump administration was softening its position on Israeli settlements.
Pompeo told reporters at the State Department that “the establishment of Israeli civilian settlements in the West Bank is not per se inconsistent with international law,” breaking with decades of US policy. Former vice president Joe Biden’s campaign called the move “an obstacle to peace.”
“This decision harms the cause of diplomacy, takes us further away from the hope of a two-state solution, and will only further inflame tensions in the region. It’s not about peace or security. It is not about being pro-Israel. It is about undercutting Israel’s future in service of Trump’s personal politics,” Biden’s campaign told Jewish Insider.
Vermont Senator Sanders denounced the move, saying that “Israeli settlements in occupied territory are illegal. This is clear from international law and multiple United Nations resolutions. Once again, Mr. Trump is isolating the United States and undermining diplomacy by pandering to his extremist base.”
Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts senator who is vying with Sanders for the more progressive voters in the party, similarly condemned the announcement.
“Another blatantly ideological attempt by the Trump administration to distract from its failures in the region. Not only do these settlements violate international law — they make peace harder to achieve. As president, I will reverse this policy and pursue a two-state solution,” Warren said.
Pete Buttigieg, the centrist mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and another leading candidate for the Democratic nomination, said the decision undermined peace efforts.
“The Trump administration’s statement on West Bank settlements is not only a significant step backward in our efforts to achieve a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it is the latest in a pattern of destructive decisions that harm our national interests,” Buttigieg said.
Amy Klobuchar, a Minnesota senator who is not among the leading candidates, said that the decision “goes against long-standing US policy. Once again Donald Trump is playing politics and taking us further away from a path to a two-state solution.”
Liberal Democratic lawmakers Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, both frequent critics of Israel, also castigated the White House following the announcement.
“Israel’s settlements in the West Bank violate international law. No matter what this corrupt and immoral Trump regime (yeah he is a lawless king-like dictator) say, it doesn’t change that fact. #FreePalestine & #ImpeachmentTrumpNow,” Tlaib, a House Representative from Michigan, wrote on Twitter.
Minnesota Congresswoman Omar said that “Israeli settlements violate [international] law, decades of US foreign policy, and the human rights of Palestinians. All who believe in the possibility of peace must speak up in this moment.”

No surprise coming from these politicians, but what galls me
the most is that they have adopted the Arab position that Israel is forever the
“occupier.” They all refuse to acknowledge that the Arabs have rejected every
offer made to provide them with a state. They have refused to legitimately
negotiate, and they have adopted the Islamic line that intends to destroy the
state of Israel and its people. Additionally, their conduct has established
their preference for violence rather than discussion. It boggles my mind why
these politicians cannot see that this step may have the effect of causing the
Arab world to now move towards a resolution, since everything else that has
been tried has failed. I agree with Trump that it is time for change, and I
believe he is making the kind of decisions that may result in favorable
conclusions. I wish him luck, and I
would hope that all Americans support his efforts, and stop the anti-Trump rhetoric.
Since 1947 the Arabs have refused a two state solution. The more things change the more they stay the same. Europe and the Dems live in a fantasy world. Takes two to tango. The Arabs have never wanted a two state solution.
OH, NOW THEY DO! AS AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY THE PALESTINIANS HAVE A BASE TO ATTACK ISRAEL FROM IN PERPETUITY & A NATIONAL ENTITY FROM WHENCE THEY CAN ORGANIZE AND PROCESS AID TO ATTACK ISRAEL WITH! THE PALESTINIANS BELONG TO JORDAN REALLY BUT JORDAN CAN’T TRUST THEM SO THERE IS NO REAL SOLUTION! SAD BUT TRUE! HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON!
The area now called Jordan was originally to be part of Israel. To satisfy muslims, the Kingdom of Trans-Jordan was formed.
Jordan invaded and annexed “the West Bank” in 1948, as did Egypt the Gaza Strip. That was fine to the world. Though under Arab muslim control, Israel was constantly attacked from those two areas. Does anyone really believe that the attacks would end if these areas were independent? More and more I see the illusion of a two state solution as being no solution at all.
IT IS WHAT IT IS! HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON!
The George Soros-ian globalist banking clique wants to eliminate nationalist, Zionist State of israel and supports the globalist Islamic cabal with its emphasis on a globalist Caliphate! Happy Holiday Season!
Why is it always A-OK for an Arab to buy property anywhere in Israel… But, it’s an Israeli Jew does exactly the same thing, all hell breaks loose. Arabs have settlements all over the world, from London to Dearborn Michigan.
Agree. Even Liberal loon Clooney the Loony had to admit Trump was
Correct and he was wrong http://offtrade.net/cnmnews/cloony-admits-trump-was-right/
LOL !
As long as they don’t have to pay the price for their loonism, they will shill for it !
Must be nice to be fabulously wealthy; & have armed security to protect himself from the Evil he helped prosper & thrive in the world. How nice that his kids will be so privileged, like the other Hollywood Communist SJWs.
Don’t forget Minneapolis/St Paul, Minn.
OK All this blathering from the monkey squad, the geriatrics, and the fairy proves is that this change in policy is absolutely the way to go.
I, along with other sane people here in Marxachusetts, demand a signed pledge from Liar-Watha Warren NOT to choose Taylor Swift as her running mate, given her defense of the latter’s most recent temper tantrum touched off by someone not obeying her commands. They deserve each other, but we deserve neither.
No Dumocrat in this state to my knowledge has done anything but kowtow to Islam and support the Muslim Brotherhood linked Islamic Society of Boston, despite its direct ties to the Tsarnaev brothers who murdered 3 and maimed scores of others nearly 6 years ago at the Marathon. In addition the elder Tsarnaev, Tamerlan, murdered 3 young Jewish men in nearby Waltham a couple of years prior to that.
And don’t forget the late, not-so-great Mayor Mumbles Menino, who let the mozzlems build the largest mosk in New England in the Roxbury section of Boston….
Menino? I searched “mayor mosque Boston,” & came up with Marty Walsh in the following link.
Ed’s right. Menino was the Boston mayor who died in October 2014. As noted in the wiki entry on his dealings with the Islamic Society of Boston, he was “highly supportive” of the building of their mega-mosque in Roxbury, sold them city land at a below market rate, and participated in the groundbreaking ceremony in 2002. “The project became increasingly controversial due to the ISB’s alleged ties to various individual terrorists and terrorist organizations; and by 2008, when the initial building was completed, the Boston Phoenix reported that Menino and other city representatives have vanished from public association with the project.” The bombing of the Marathon occurred in April 2003.
Thanks for having my back, oceanfloor….
MA IS MESSED UP! ALL GOOD PEOPLE CAN DO IS LEAVE THERE LIKE SEN WILLARD MITT ROMNEY WHOM MA REPUBLICANS WERE BIZARRE ENOUGH TO VOTE FOR AGAINST A NATIVE BECAUSE HE HAD LOTS OF MONEY! IT’S THE STATE OF WILLIE HORTON AND MICHAEL DUKAKIS! HOWEVER THEY DID LEARN ABOUT ROMNEY SO NEW SEN WILLARD MITT ROMNEY OF UTAH MOVED TWICE SINCE! ROLLING! IS THE TITLE OF WILLARD MITT ROMNEY’S POLITICAL LIFE COMMENTARY! HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON!
I didn’t know that having to live near Jewish neighbors is a violation of human rights. (According to Ilhan Omar that’s the law.)
IT IS IN THE SHARIA TOO! NON-MUSLIMS DON’T HAVE RIGHTS AND CAN’T COEXIST IS THE WAY IT WORKS! MUSLIMS HAVE A RELIGIOUS RIGHT TO DOMINATE NON-MUSLIMS AND MAKE THEM PAY THE JIZYAH UNTIL THEY ARE FORCED TO CONVERT OR DIE! HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON!
Yeah, someone should ask Omar if she subscribes to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights or the Cairo Declaration of Human Rights.
Why hasn’t she been deported for lying about her name and who her family is when she applied for entry, or for when she became a citizen?
Because she’s a politician and she’s too popular. But you were just asking rhetorically, right?
If you are not allowed to name your kid Hitler, then why are people allowed to name their kid moHAmhead?
I mean their track records are very similar, mo’s is worse in all actuality…asking for a friend

270,000,000 dead non-believers can’t all be wrong. Oh wait, we are not supposed to mention that, or that 80,000,000 of that number were Hindus.
Biden, Sanders, Warren, and Buttigieg collectively have zero expertise regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Their responses to the Trump admin decision are tired, cliched, knee jerk propaganda written by their handlers.
None of them give a flying crap about Israelis or Palestinians. Every word uttered is calculated to secure votes they already have in the bag.
You need to include Schiff, Schumer, Nadler, Wasser-schultz into the mix as these are Jew haters too.
What is the Gaza Shite but the fulfillment of the “two state” delusion?
Technically, Jordan should be the fulfillment.
This is what happens when you pander to muslum sensibilities and “values”. The “free” world will be abandoning Israel as they embrace muslums and their death cult — regardless of how “moderate” or “secular” these muslums paint themselves as.
The only practical and workable “peace plan”is to recognizes annexation of Judea and Samara and the removal of the Muslims whatever Muslim nation they elect.
If the Left decides their POTUS depending on love of Islam / hatred of Israel, all have potential, Warren trails.
-Biden, privileged paedophile American white man. It depends on whom he chooses for VP. An empty robot, he has value for anyone behind the curtain.
-Buttigieg, privileged veteran homosexual “Christian” American white man must do two things ASAP: Publicly denounce Jesus as a prophet Who wasn’t crucified, didn’t resurrect, & only had the purpose of foretelling the coming of the Paedo Prophet Mo; & repent of his sexual immorality. Luckily Islam doesn’t consider someone “male” if there’s no facial hair, bacha bazi; & the Left promotes raising boys as transexuals. He could promise legalized “equal” prostitution; legalized drugs; & hormones, hormone blockers, & surgery paid by Medicaid.
-Sanders, privileged Communist Jewish American white man. Best choice, imo. His best attributes: A Jew-hating Jew has value as a mascot; & his heart attack / surgery means Tlaib would make a more attractive VP pick. Meanwhile, Omar or AOC could take over for Pelosi.
-Warren, privileged hijabless blue-eyed American white woman must be an affront to every Muslim & Dhimmi. She might have a chance if she starts wearing a hijab; & stops drinking beer.
Democrats hate Israel because it’s under the Jews. This is not in keeping with the UN’s Global Compact for Regular Migration, or its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Green New Deal, Agenda 21, the 2030 Agenda, the Great Replacement.
Thank you Mr. President. God bless you and your family.
What’s the expression? Deja vu all over again? Ladies and Gents we are being dragged back to Germany in the pre-world war two era. This is disgusting.
the former pres of iran always asked why the jews had to pick the land of israel to live in and that they should live in another part of the world maybe its time for the jew hating palestinians to take the clue and leave
Going back one hundred-thirty years, most Arab “Palestinians” can trace their family’s history to other nations. Most were recent settlers. Many Israeli families can trace back their family history in Israel to over 2000 years.
Are these monsters going to reopen the Death Camps and implement their “final solution”?
A TWO STATE SOLUTION MEANS THE PALESTINIANS GET ALL THE BENEFITS THAT THEIR POLITICAL CHOICES DIDN’T EARN UNTIL THE ISRAELIS GIVE UP IN DISGUST BECAUSE THEY CAN NEVER WIN, THEY LEARN! HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON!
There is all this anti-Israel sentiment and anti-Jewish sentiment in the Democrat party…..but yet….approximately half of the donations to the Democrat party comes from Jews and Jewish groups.. This is crazy. Not only that….but at least 3 out of 4 Jewish American voters vote for the Democrats. Hopefully, Jewish American voters will wise up and stop voting for the Democrats. IF they don’t stop financing and voting for the Democrats…..then they deserve all of the Democrat Anti-Semitism that is just down the road. Folks….you think this Democrat anti-Semitism is bad now….which includes the Anti-Semitism of the “Squad”…..Pressley, Omar, Tlaib and AOC? Well you ain’t seen nothing yet. The Democrats are just getting warmed up with their Anti-Semitism. Mark my words.
