Jewish Democrats must fight the DSA, not tolerate it
For 20 years now, I’ve been hearing the same story from Jewish Democrats. They keep insisting that most of those who identify as members of their party are not extremists, and that they don’t hate Israel and Jews. And they bitterly resent claims to the contrary coming from Jewish Republicans or political conservatives.Back when George W. Bush was president, such complaints could sound reasonable, even if they were rooted firmly in a denial of facts—namely, that the gap between the parties on Israel was growing into an abyss dooming efforts to maintain a bipartisan consensus. They grew even less persuasive once Barack Obama became president, and appeasement of Iran and pressure on Israel to make suicidal concessions to the Palestinians became Democratic Party doctrine.But the pretense that there isn’t a widening chasm between the two major parties not only about Israel, but also about the surge of antisemitism that followed…
The article argues that Jewish Democrats must actively combat the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) due to its growing influence and perceived antisemitism within the party. The author contends that the DSA, which is gaining victories in primary elections, aims to fundamentally transform America based on Marxist and intersectional ideologies, and that its anti-Zionism is a thinly veiled form of antisemitism. The October 7th attacks are presented as a turning point, solidifying the left's embrace of anti-Israel sentiments. The author criticizes mainstream Jewish Democratic leaders for prioritizing animosity towards Donald Trump over confronting the DSA's radical agenda, warning that continued complacency could lead to Jewish Democrats becoming politically marginalized and the party being hijacked by an antisemitic faction. The article suggests that the acceptance of doctrines like critical race theory and intersectionality has normalized Jew-hatred on the left.
