Antisemitic electioneering always works

I have been surprised over the last few days by the number of Jewish Democrats who appear to be shocked by the victory of antisemitic senatorial candidate Dr. Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan’s Democratic Party primary. I am surprised not because, while I can certainly understand why they would be horrified, I cannot comprehend how they could have been shocked.After all, this is the direction the Democrats have been going in for more than two decades.The road to Jew-hatred began with the now-forgotten eruption of antisemitism on the left in 2000 when the Second Intifada broke out in Israel.

🗞️ In-depth summary

The article argues that the Democratic Party has broken a 250-year American taboo against antisemitic politics, a trend that has been developing for over two decades. This shift began with the Second Intifada in 2000 and accelerated with the rise of groups like the Democratic Socialists of America and the election of figures such as Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. The author states that the victory of antisemitic senatorial candidate Dr. Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan’s Democratic primary, and the party establishment's reaction, is a further step in this process. The article claims that "Antisemitic electioneering always works," and that the Democratic Party has realized this, leading to an unprecedented existential threat to the American Jewish community. The author suggests American Jews must adopt a realpolitik approach, seeking new allies and aggressively countering their enemies to ensure their community's survival.
