Maybe you should read what Schmuck Schumer had to say:From the NY Times 11/29/23 "Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the majority leader, on Wednesday warned that some liberals and young people were “unknowingly aiding and abetting” antisemitism in the name of social justice, fueling a dangerous rise in bigotry against Jews amid Israel’s war against Hamas. In a deeply personal speech from the Senate floor aimed largely at members of his own party, Mr. Schumer, the country’s highest-ranking Jewish elected official, issued a more than 40-minute explanation and condemnation of antisemitism in America that has flared since Israel began retaliating against Hamas for its Oct. 7 terrorist attack against defenseless Israeli civilians. In the wake of the attack, he said, many Americans had skipped over any expression of sympathy for the victims and instead attacked the past actions of the Israeli government against the Palestinians. “Can anybody imagine a horrific terrorist attack in another country receiving such a reception?” he asked, noting that the long arc of history had taught Jews a painful lesson: “ultimately, that we are alone.” Mr. Schumer’s warning came as antisemitic hate crimes have skyrocketed and pro-Palestinian protests, some featuring antisemitic signs and slogans, have swelled across the country as the civilian death toll in Gaza has soared. Those events have fueled a bitter debate over the war and exposed a sharp divide in the Democratic Party. Many progressives have taken up the Palestinian cause as an extension of the racial and social justice movements that have recently dominated Democratic politics, while more mainstream members of the party have continued to offer unequivocal backing for Israel’s actions and response to Hamas’s attack. That schism has also extended to the debate over whether additional military aid to Israel requested by President Biden should come with any strings attached, with a solid bloc of Democrats arguing the money should come with conditions. But the vitriol against Israel and Jews in the United States, Mr. Schumer said on Wednesday, has crossed into widespread antisemitism, “the likes of which we haven’t seen for generations in this country — if ever.” |
