Even right after Oct 7, Rep. Raskin’s statement warned Israel not to go too aggressively after Hamas.
Rep. Jamie Raskin, who spends all day and night trying to accuse Republicans of being Russian stooges, decided to go ahead and join with Iranian stooges to attack Israel.
Alongside Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, and, having sunk so low, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Raskin signed on to a letter demanding that Biden “withhold any offensive weapons transfers” to Israel.
Such a move, coming as Iran may be preparing to launch an attack on Israel is a gift to Iran. And incidentally to its ally Russia, which Rep. Raskin has pretended to oppose all these years only as a front for attacking non-leftists.
In a press release, after an airstrike killed members of Jose Andres’ ‘aid group’ who were allegedly accompanied by an armed escort, Rep. Jamie Raskin quoted Andres’ who falsely accused Israel of “indiscriminate killing.” Then Rep. Raskin concluded with a call for a ceasefire which would allow Hamas to go on killing Israelis.
While people tend to pay more attention to Rep. Raskin for his political witch hunts aimed at opponents, he’s been attacking Israel’s campaign against Hamas for some time now while calling for a “ceasefire.”
Even right after Oct 7, Rep. Raskin’s statement warned Israel not to go too aggressively after Hamas.
In a truly extraordinary statement, Rep. Raskin argued that Israel should reward and encourage the Hamas use of human shields, contending that, “the knowledge that a terrorist enemy displays spectacular disrespect for the lives of civilians—by such means as using them as ‘human shields’ for embedded soldiers—imposes an obligation of extra care not to kill civilians who are being used in this way.”
This is who Rep. Raskin has always been, but the mask is increasingly coming off.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries asked Raskin to represent the Democratic caucus in defending Tlaib on the House floor against a GOP-led effort to censure the congresswoman, and in the end, Raskin’s allegiance to the Constitution won out.
It was never about the Constitution. It was about Rep. Raskin’s leftist politics which include hatred of America and Israel.

Do Chucky Schumer and Raskin share the same rabbi?
You know… the one whose best rabbi buddy says Kaddish for Hamas?
These people are sick and demented.

You mean, the ugly female who looks very male and probably wishes to actually be?
when one wishes to be evil, that one seeks out those who know evil, the experts in evil. Anyone saying a prayer for hamas, is evil.

Shame-ie Rascal really needs to go. However, that’s probably not possible in the short run in the People’s Republic of Montgomery County, Maryland.
I am utterly disgusted by how both Communists and Jihadis make their loud boasts about how they’re going to beat up everyone else to revolutionize the world, and then white about what poor little picked-on lambs they are when someone has the gumption to fight back and give them what-for. I’m at most only lukewarm about Zionism, but it would be just right if Netanyahu snuffed out Hamas root and branch. It was a national shame for America that the O, Shrillary Shroooo, and Sammie Powers aligned us with the Ikhwan in Syria. As for China having trouble with the Uighurs, Islamic militancy and a ruling Communist party richly deserve each other.

If I recall correctly, something like 40 demoncrats wrote a letter demanding that all aid to Israel be cut…denied….
These ghouls would pull in a life preserver before a drowning man could take hold if they suspected the man might shoot a mozlum terrorist before the terrorist could abduct, rape, behead or burn a child to death.
raskin, pelosi, tlaib, jefferies, elmi, alias omar, and the others will reap as they are so abundantly sowing.

Raskin is a rotten human being, damn foolish too, just as the Democratic Party as a whole is. The problem again I will state: The greatest enemy of America and by extension the preservation of what’s left of the free West (this would include Israel) is the Democratic Party of the USA. Other threats exist of course, like the fool Trudeau in Canada, the Islamic sphere of mankind, Russia, China, the Labour Party in the UK, the moral idiot in the Vatican, et al. but it is the Democratic Party of America, bar none, which poses the largest menace to the preservation of mankind at its best.

Wellington,
your comment made me think of those museums where the worst of the worst have wax figures made of their persons. Visitors read of the horrors each committed and voice their opinions/guesses as to which is the worst criminal, the worst monster, of them all.
Wellington says
Thanks for your reply, somehistory. My vote, as you know by now, for the worst monster in our day, no contest here, is the Democratic Party of the USA. No greater monster exists, even wretched Islam in its entirety, because evil within is even worse than evil without.
As Dennis Prager, one of the wisest persons in our era in MHO, has expressed many times, it is not the Far Left which is the ultimate problem, heinous and destructive though it is, but the traditional Liberal element which, stupidly, keeps voting for Far Leftists because such traditional liberals continue to think that if they don’t vote Democrat then Neo-Nazis, pure fascists, blah, blah, blah will take over America—like Catholics who favor the Latin Mass, or those nasty evangelical Christians in fly-over states like Iowa, or Texans who want a secure southern border, or, per Obama back in 2008, people in central Pennsylvania who “cling to their guns and their religion.”
I don’t believe to this day enough Americans realize just how awful and traitorous the Democratic Party has become. The Republican Party leaves much to be desired but at least it has not turned traitorous and clearly and utterly destructive to what the Founding Fathers of America created. The modern Democratic Party most certainly has and anyone averring otherwise is manifesting either their ignorance or their mendacity.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
I had never thought about it quite that way, but Dennis Prager is spot-on. The “traditional Liberal element” is aiding and abetting the Far Leftists.
Traditional JFK type liberals need to LEAVE the Democratic Party.
Enough is enough.
Kepha says
Hear, hear.
I agree with you 150%, Wellington. Shame-ie Rascal is a disgrace.
@James Lincoln: As a thoroughly repentant JFK-liberal, I believe that people such a I used to be are the very liberals of whom Wellington wrote.
One issue is that we Americans tend to be too wrapped up in ourselves (and, don’t get me wrong, I’m humbly grateful to be an American). The JFK-liberals started out believing that Americans could do anything from abolishing poverty at home and abroad to building nations in southeast Asia; they ended up believing that Americans had done everything from teaching torture to the heirs of the Iberian Inquisitions in Latin America to teaching corruption to the heirs of Confucian mandarinates in the Far East. The lates incarnation of such narcisistic hubris is believing that good ole Uncle Sam can teach the whole world’s Islamic Ulama to be nice New England Unitarian, Quker, and liberal Episcopalian ladies who sip their tea with their pinkies sticking out.

Wellington, I believe a snake would better represent those you deem the ‘worst of the worst.’
This discussion between Sen. Tom Cotton and the Austin guy of the military, might interest some.

Not-so-old Soviet political ideology joke:
Q: What’s the difference between a Socialist and a Communist?
A: A Socialist is a Communist who’s not in a hurry.
Present-day America political ideology joke:
Q: What’s the difference between a Socialist and Democrat?
A: A Democrat is actually a Socialist who’s trying to become a Communist… or an Islamist
Take your pick. One is only slightly better than the other.
