How long until Sen. Schumer backs it?
A moderate Dem is rapidly becoming as rare a species as the dodo. Several years after the Oct 7 attacks and the mainstreaming of a pro-Hamas DSA movement, the Democrats have switched from pretending to support Israel to pretending that they don’t support Hamas.
Officially they’ll blame Netanyahu and Israel for losing their support, but the reality is that they’re sliding into extremes that they know are wrong, just like they did when they decided to accept that men are really women and that criminals are the real victims. These massive shifts had nothing to do with changes in reality, but party radicalization.
When it comes to Israel, Jewish Democrats have shown as much backbone as female Democrats did on womens’ sports. And so here we are with half the Senate Jewish Dem delegation, including newcomer Sen. Adam Schiff backing a bill to boycott and sanction Jews proposing to build housing on 3,000 acres not far from Jerusalem. Meanwhile, Jews continue to be murdered by Islamic terrorists in the area.
Sen. Schiff, Sen. Eliza Slotkin, Sen. Ron Wyden and Sen. Brian Schatz, a militant anti-Israel figure, are joining in a bill backed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, whose hostility to Israel’s existence only narrowly falls short of Sen. Bernie Sanders who probably only failed to join this bill because it fails to call for nuking Jerusalem.
Altogether 19 Senate Dems backed a bill calling for sanctions on Jews who build housing in areas claimed by Muslim terrorists including for electricity and water, “the investment in, or construction of infrastructure that has the purpose or effect of facilitating the establishment of Israeli settlements, Israeli settlement units, or related structures in the E1 area of the West Bank, includng roads, water systems, sewage systems, and
electricity infrastructure” and “facilitating the transfer of Israeli civilians into Israeli settlements.”
Build water pipes for a Jewish community and the Dems will sanction you and then send millions more to Islamic terrorists.
How long until Sen. Schumer backs it?

Leftists in general can never grovel enough to appease Mohammedans but Jewish Leftists appeasing the followers of a religion which unambiguously conveys its hatred of Jews takes Leftist idiocy to an extra pathetic level.
Virtually nothing is worse than Islam and virtually nothing is stupider than Western Leftism. No wonder they’re allies—for now.

Maybe these democrat asshats should worry about the well-being of their respective states and not worry that the Israeli government gave the “settlers” the green light to build on approx. 4.7 square miles (=3000 acres).
