Today is Eid, one of the most joyous days in the Muslim calendar.
While I'd rather be spending it with my family, I have an obligation to stand up for the families whose children were taken from them because of the violence in Palestine.

A generation ago there were passionately pro-Israel Democrats. They were a minority, but they existed. Today, they’re largely extinct.
The Democrats are now largely divided into two camps, that of the establishment careerists who literally believe in nothing, and the radical leftists.
The latter have made their hatred of Israel very clear while the former issue weak statements that they back away from as soon as there’s any pressure. Your average pro-Israel Democrat statement condemns Hamas rockets, Israel’s response to the rockets, and mourns the deaths on all sides. And then backs away when being attacked for still being too pro-Israel for condemning the terror rockets.
That’s the usual farce.
There are two factors at work here.
1. The radicalization of the Democrats
2. The growing abandonment of Israel by Jewish Democrats
Combine the two together and you get AOC, Warren, and Sanders screeching hatred for Israel with little to no opposition.
The radicals have a passionate hatred on their side, but there’s little passion among the Democrat establishment for Israel. That’s not just the story when it comes to Israel, but virtually any moderate and mainstream issue.
And so as Hamas rockets fall on Israel, the loudest Democrat voices cheer the terrorists and curse Israel.
This is the new normal.
Boycott Turkey says
Ilhan omar tweets today Eid is the most joyous day in the Muslim calender well she should spell Eid backwards it’s just sums up what Islam wants to do to us she should be thrown in jail the witch supporting terrorist group hamas by doing that she’s also advocating hate towards jews living US
Infidel says
Boycott Turkey, great observation. Although when I was young, I recall that day being spelt as ‘Id’, rather than ‘Eid’
Richard says
Now wouldn’t this come naturally to Arabs who read script from right to left??
Infidel says
Touché!!! ???
Grace says
The government of the Republic has been infested, invaded, with too many who have Jihad on their minds? A sinister tug of war involving, Socialism, Communism, Marxism,China, Russia and Globalism, all in it for the same prize is being carried out north and south.. Domination of the American continent. The same process is being carried out in Canada, a once free society, as here in America. There are no warriors to fight the storm. . .
somehistory says
If one just has to hate, they should hate the wrongs done, the bad things, the selfish things, the wicked things and the evil things.
But these mozlums and their weak associates who, as Mr. Greenfield writes, can’t hold up under pressure, don’t hate those things. They hate (Jesus likened not loving enough to “hate”) Israel and anything that is on the side of **right**; and anyone who tries to stand up to them and their evil ideas.
And something that really chaps the hide…these mozlum “reps” and their side-kicks such as sanders, warren and the aoc chick,…get paid by the hardworking people who don’t agree with anything they have to say, but have to pay anyway….when they could be “spending the money on their families,” instead of on this Congress trash.
somehistory says
One more thing…there is no “joy” in islam. Joy is a fruit of God’s Holy Spirit and He does not give His Holy Spirit to mozlums serving satan the devil.
This terror supporter does not know Joy. She knows evil glee and wicked delight. But not Joy.
Walter Sieruk says
Those two Muslim Democrat politicians who have such a spiteful ,vicious and malice -filled Islamic hate for the Jewish people that they actually think of those murderous Hamas rockets attacks into Israel and something that is “good.”
To such a awful ans warped way of thinking the Bible informs its reader in Isaiah 5:20. “Woe to those who call evil good ,and good evil..” [N.K.J.V.]
Furthermore , Hamas with all its hostile and deadly violence is totally fated to fail in its Islam goad of destroying Israel and replacing her with an Islamic “state.”
The reason why this is so is because Hamas is greatly overruled by God ,Who in in favor of Israel.
As the Bible reads “For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His special treasure.” Psalm 135:4.
libertyORdeath says
That’s a perfect quote Walter.
Eric says
With increasing Leftist vitriolic charges against Israel, violent retribution inches closer to taking place. Omar, and like-minded anti-semites, think they are controlling the narrative in public discourse. They are only stirring the misguided passions of those who already hate Israel. They also cause firmer resolve by us, who support Israel, to counter the misinformation they spread. Sooner or later, an Israel-hater will say the wrong thing in the wrong place at the wrong time and be attacked. It is inevitable. Today we see a Jewish man in downtown NYC attacked and beaten amidst cries by Arabs “Allahu Akbar”.
In other states, wher ordinary citizens can carry a means of defending themselves, the victim could have legally used his concealed weapon in self defense. It’s gonna happen!!!
somehistory says
Justice catches up to the evil ones at some point. And there are plenty of States where carrying a gun…some are even taking away the need for a permit…is legal and the legal user is not prosecuted for doing so in self-defense or the defense of another.
Anger is being expressed by the hordes of criminals who are getting away with it daily. But anger rises in those who see the wrongs and injustice and many are vowing to stand up to the criminal element.
mozlums are encouraging to the other criminals; and the lax attitude by the different democrats to the criminals is giving mozlums, like the mob in NYC, the idea that their time has come here in America as it has in Europe and Africa.
As you say, “it’s gonna happen.”

France asks police to ban pro-Palestinian protest in Paris
Activists had called the protest in the Barbes district of northern Paris to demonstrate against Israel’s bombardment of the Gaza Strip

we live in the most Jewish city outside Israel and among our leftard neighbours are many non-obersant Jews. Some of them will be forced to make choice and I doubt, they will go with the JihaDems

does us govt fund hamas?
eu does?

That statement about the pro-Israel Democrats dwindling towards extinction caught my attention. Extinction is hardly a problem being faced by the “Palestinians.” According to the website I have linked below the population of “Palestine” grows by 1 person every 4 minutes. I just thought that was interesting considering how horrible (so we are told) it must be to live in “Palestine.” By the way, Israel’s population is estimated to be growing by 1 person every 4 minutes also. (The U.S. gains 1 person every 16 seconds.)
Here is the link: https://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/palestine-population
CogitoErgoSum says
By the way, it’s also interesting to note that Russia is losing 1 person every 26 minutes.
GreekEmpress says
I live on the southern border. Anyone want to bet how many people we’re gaining per second down here? ???
Infidel says
Despite that, California is losing population to the point that it will lose 1 electoral vote, iirc.
Infidel says
CES, shouldn’t we distinguish growth due to increase in birthrate – a legal activity – vs growth due to illegal immigration – an illegal one?
gravenimage says
Muslims use any means they can–immigration, invasion, “Jihad of the womb”, and conversion, including coerced conversions–to increase their numbers..
James Lincoln says
Perhaps, Infidel for “bookkeeping” purposes.
But the end result is the same…
Keith O says
Anyone who openly supports a terrorist group should be charged with treason, at the very least, if they hold public office, then they should be removed from their position.
gregbeetham says
There is much in favour of a ‘well regulated militia’ just think there are at least 160 million gun owners in America, a formidable force indeed, nobody with any sense would get in the way.
David M says
I wonder what the chances of Pakistan giving the Palestinians a nuke to fire across the border into Israel is?
Lorensacho says
These Dems stand with Hamas but the majority of Dems stand with Israel. Your headline is misleading.
gravenimage says
A majority of Americans stand with Israel. Democratic leadership, sadly not so much.
ROBERT CARRILLO says
Of course they dooooooooooo… They are The Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, AL-Qaeda, and all the rest..
But, they are also Marxists’ to their core.
I live in Minnesota, at least for a little while longer..
I have seen the plague of the Ilhan Omar, up close and personal..
This pal of the brutal Turkish dictator, Erdogan, and (‘United in Hate’) radical Palestinian, Linda Sarsour, and our own MN AG, Keith (AKA’s: ‘X’ – ‘Hakim’ – ‘Mohamed’) Ellison; Omar is a dangerous little whelp..
BlackSabbath says
Ilhan Omar steals towels from the hotel rooms. It is obvious by looking at her.

I wish that were all she is guilty of…
