Anti Semitism

Posted

For Mayor De Blasio to attempt to blame President Trump for the outbreak of anti Semitism in New York is pitiful when he is a member of the Democratic Party that failed to even verbally chastise Congresswomen Omar, Tlab and Cortez for anti Semitic statements instead coming out with a weak condemnation of all bias without even naming the Congresswomen.

Further I have never heard the Mayor condemn the anti Israel group BDS(boycott, divestment and sanctions) which looks to destroy Israel going after American companies that do business with Israel. While there is some hate crimes against Jews by the right wing fringe you don’t hear it from mainstream Republicans like you do from members of the squad,Omar, Tlab and Cortez. That the Democrats failed to even censure them for some of their remarks shows which party tolerates this type of bigotry.

I’m not Jewish but I know hate speech when I hear it and right now there’s a lot coming from the political left.
