Democrats Boo Moving US Embassy to Jerusalem

[Free Palestine]

any jew who votes for this party is like a jew who votes fro the Nazi party.

Lololol because opposing the crusader state you love so much is tantamount to boycotting Jewish businesses and burning down synagogues and murdering innocent people.

You're an idiot.

And for once I agree with danny.  Having a voice vote on such a contentious issue is stupid, and it seems to me like it was simply a case of Villaraigosa hearing what he wanted to hear.

How anybody who really considers themselves progressive can support the Democratic Party is beyond me.

This is going to make talking to relatives who have NY Jew-style beliefs even harder. Thanks, Democrats.

No, but seriously, it's not a campaign-killer, but Republicans are really, really good at taking advantage of bad moments like this, while Democrats suck for some reason. And I wouldn't limit this to Florida (though neither would I overestimate is) -- I keep having to refer back to Gallup to show you people how across-the-board support for Israel really is among the American populace (nobody disputes politicians, but it's just as good in the general population):

Yes on all points.

This will be played ad nauseum a la "You didn't build that".

And the anti-Israel movement in this country by and large remains a very loud, nasty fringe group that is in the vast minority.

it might be in the vast minority in the country but it is a majority of the democrat elite. (at least when added together with the militant atheists )

Hurr yeah that's why the DNC chairwoman denied any ruckus occurred over the al-Quds vote, and why they tried very hard to get that rammed through at the request of Obama.

This thread is so bad it should have stayed at the 2012 Election section.

Krazey and NYJew have really sunk in new lows. Too bad that Stark isn't around anymore. It would've been fun seeing the pigs duking it out in the mud.

majority of your partys delegates in the room just admitted to either being atheists or anti Semites.

Okay, first of all, opposing the spattering of the word "god" everywhere doesn't make you an atheist.  It makes you a secularist.  And second, anti-Israel is not anti-Semitic.  That's a ridiculous canard, and I hope you get banned really soon.

I am glad there were at least a few people willing to stand up to the Zionists and the religious extremists who want to marginalize atheists.

And being against Zionism (which is harmful to the long term interests of the Jewish people) is not being anti-semitic.

95% of the countries of the world with a significant Jewish population have turned on the Jews at some point. Zionism exists to allow the Jews to determine their own fate and ensure that mass slaughter of Jewish minorities never happens again.

Not every anti-Zionist is anti-semitic, but to be strongly anti-Zionist means that anti-semitism must not be a big concern.

These guys would like to have a word with you:



And in other news...

Allegedly, a DNC delegate walked out over this.

But they certainly disprove the "hurrhurr, anti-Israel = anti-Semitic" drivel.

Also, aren't Haredi in Israel...very pro-Israel?

It's quite possible to be Jewish and anti-semitic. Gilad Atzmon, for instance. These people have their own motivation.

Actually, a lot of them are not. They're very "God above everything". They don't support mainstream parties, they don't serve in the military, they sort of have their own little enclaves outside of the main cities. A lot of them have contempt for the on-average secular, moderate, diverse society that is mainstream Israel.

Regardless, anti-Israel != antisemitism.

Many people who oppose the state of Israel on a fundamental level do not want to drive the Jews into the sea or whatever -- they support creating a situation where there are no separation walls, where Jews and Arabs live in peace with one-another and can live and work wherever the heck they want, and have access to running water.
