The Democratic Socialists’ Anti-Israel Wish List

The dreadful results of last week’s elections have the far-left and Muslims celebrating. And not just in America, but across the globe, beginning with the Iranian government, that declared its happiness at the result of the midterm elections. The Democratic Socialists of America released a list of its members who have won, and in doing so, the group has been continually mentioning, as the most important of its aims, the creation of a “Free Palestine.” More on the DSA’s electoral victories can be found here: “‘We are just getting started’: Midterm blowout normalizes anti-Zionism in Democratic politics,” by Luke Tress, Times of Israel, November 5, 2026:

The American far left made its political priorities clear on Tuesday as Democrats trounced Republicans in a historic blowout, winning control of the Senate and the House of Representatives.

The national Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), announcing its winners, repeatedly trumpeted its goal of a “Free Palestine.”

Incoming US Rep. Darializa Avila Chevalier demanded “the Palestinian right of return” in a statement and led supporters in Spanish chants of “Babies, not bombs,” her oft-used slogan, while wearing a keffiyeh.

The Right of Return would mean that more than five million Palestinian Arabs could move to Israel, joining the two million Arabs inside Israel within the Green Line, the two million Arabs in Gaza, and the three million Arabs in Judea and Samaria, for a total of twelve million Arabs in the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, thereby swamping the Israeli Jews, who number 7.8 million.

Congresswoman-elect Melat Kiros of Colorado called for “more people standing up, calling out genocide” and holding “people in power” accountable for “complicity.”

Melat Kiros insists, as do so many of her ill-informed ilk, that the IDF has committed “genocide” in Gaza. She’s wrong. Of the 75,000 people who have died in Gaza since the Hamas atrocities carried out on October 7, 2023, 25,000 were Hamas terrorists. And based on historical data, 8,000 civilians die in Gaza each year from accidents, diseases, and other natural causes; that means in the last three years 24,000 deaths in Gaza were non-combat related. Another 3,000 to 5,000 deaths are estimated to have been caused by the missiles launched by Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad at Israel that misfired and fell inside Gaza. One example of this was the Palestinian Islamic Jihad missile that fell on the parking lot of the Al-Ahli Hospital, killing close to 300 Gazans.

“Palestinian kids should get to grow up in the land of their forefathers without being murdered by our tax dollars,” Michigan Senate winner Abdul El-Sayed said in his victory speech….

El Sayed talks about “Palestinian kids” in “the land of their forefathers”? It is Jews who have been living in the Land of Israel for the past 3500 years, more than two millennia before a single Muslim Arab appeared in the area. Many of those Arabs moved to Mandatory Palestine because the Jews who settled the land beginning even before the creation of the Mandate, in the early years of the 20th century, increased economic activity, which naturally attracted Arabs from outside the Mandate’s territory to enter and share in that newly created prosperity.

US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the US would soon end military aid to Israel. The far left’s response was telling: Anti-Israel politicians did not stop to celebrate, but demanded an arms embargo. The goalposts had already moved downfield.

In an indefensible betrayal of our ally Israel, Donald Trump, a megalomaniac narcissist given to mood swings, suddenly announced that the $3.8 billion in annual aid that has already been committed to Israel until 2028 would cease in two months. Trump’s explanation was that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had first suggested that cutoff date himself. That is false; Netanyahu spoke in January and in May about slowly diminishing American aid to Israel down to zero over ten years. Two months is not ten years.

Chevalier, soon after casting her vote, said, “Ending military aid is not enough.”

“We need to end US taxpayer funding for Israel’s war crimes, a full arms embargo, and the Palestinian right of return,” she said in a statement….

Chevalier is calling for the death of Israel. A full arms embargo would leave Israel hopelessly vulnerable to the armed-to-the-teeth militaries of a half-dozen of Israel’s Arab neighbors. The “right of return” that Chevalier supports, if it were ever come to pass, would open Israel to the millions of Palestinian Arabs claiming refugee status due to their ancestors’ displacement during Israel’s 1948 War of Independence. Allowing in those millions would end Israel’s existence as a Jewish-majority state. The one tiny Jewish state would disappear, to be replaced by a 23rd Arab state.
