Democrats Against Antisemites

We do what the Democratic Party refuses to do: call out antisemitism and name its perpetrators inside the Party.

Make the Democratic Party normal again 🇺🇸

Our platform is simple—Jewish voters should expect one thing from the Democratic Party:

The spine to clearly and publicly condemn the far-left rhetoric that spreads lies about Israel, excuses antisemitic terrorism, and smears Jewish voters with garbage like calling AIPAC “dark money.”

That’s it.

No hedging. No silence. No pretending this is complicated.

Just 3% of Americans consider Israel/Gaza to be their top issue — so what’s the excuse? It’s not politics, it’s a failure of leadership that needs to be rectified.

Ro Khanna has a net worth of $340 million.

30% of CA schools are more than 50 years old. Building a new elementary school in the Bay Area costs $80 million and modernizing one costs $20 million.

If Ro really cares about schools, he should put his money where his mouth is.

From the high schools of France to the streets of Madrid to the universities of Tirana, young people are telling their governments the same thing: in an age of massive wealth inequality, they want a future they can believe in.

In France, students and teachers are asking for safe schools, enough teachers and smaller classes.

In Spain, for affordable rent and housing.

In Albania, for good jobs and an end to corruption.

@JDVance says this is what happens when a nation lets in too many immigrants from the global south.

He is not just morally wrong, but misreading the moment.

The is what happens when nations let wealth and power accumulate in the hands of a few.

This is what happens when young people lose hope in their future.

In America, let us listen to our young.

We need an economic and political transformation.

America's Next New Deal.

@BillAckman You sure about that, Bill? Poland does not have the greatest history…

Yes, El-Sayed signed a letter in Arabic in 2012 calling on the new Muslim brotherhood government in Egypt to crack down on dissenters.
It’s so outrageous that people think that it must be made up right-wing propaganda, but it’s real. 1/

[Democrats Against Antisemites @NormalDemocrats]

Who’s in El-Sayed’s inner circle?

Meet Imam Mohammad Elahi, founder and leader of the Islamic House of Wisdom in Dearborn and close associate of Abdul El-Sayed.

Elahi served in Iran’s military and at the Martyrs Foundation, an organization sanctioned for financing Hezbollah.

El-Sayed signed a letter in 2012 calling on the Muslim brotherhood government in Egypt to crack down on dissenters. That, combined with his immediate family members admitted support for MB, raises questions that a simple “sure I do” without an explanation does not address.

[Democrats Against Antisemites @NormalDemocrats]

If El-Sayed actually opposed the Muslim Brotherhood…

“Thank you for the question. I want to acknowledge that my family has been in the news quite a lot recently, and I want to begin by saying, unequivocally, that I loathe the Muslim Brotherhood and everything they stand for.”

[Hal_For_NY__ @HalforNY__]

Today, the right is responding with even more anger at Abdul El-Sayed, because this wasn't supposed to happen.

They expected Abdul to dance around the question while Tommy repeated it and was eventually kicked out. Instead, Abdul disavowed the Muslim Brotherhood and turned the question around on Tommy showing him he was guilty of the very thing he tried to accuse El-Sayed of.

Now the right is pissed even more, because instead of exposing Abdul El-Sayed, they were exposed.

[Democrats Against Antisemites @NormalDemocrats]

@TaliGoldsheft You just don’t treat voters like that. Ever. Just insane behavior.

[Democrats Against Antisemites @NormalDemocrats]

@TriciaOhio It’s super inappropriate. The tweet and his response.

[Peter Savodnik @petersavodnik]

1. His tone. He's snarky and angry and lacking in grace. He's an easily ruffled pit bull of a man. He's not a man in full. He's not a man with much ego strength. He's weak, and his tone -- the petulance, the meanness -- is unbecoming of a United States senator, and in times past candidates would have been embarrassed to address a potential constituent this way.

2. His dishonesty. Tommy, who raises a good question but does a poor job on the follow up, didn't ask this question because El-Sayed is Muslim. He asked this question because El-Sayed has family, starting with his mother, affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood. El-Sayed wants to turn this into race, and that should make voters wary. Race is the province of the stupid and the guilty and the politically unimaginative. It is what you resort to when you have no cards left to play.

“Putting on your big boy pants” doesn’t mean taking the easy way out, following the herd, and voting for a guy who excuses a terrorist attack on children because the terrorist had hurt feelings. It means voting against extremists—even when they’re in your own party.

I am so f*%*ing proud of Lon Johnson, former Chair of the Michigan Democratic Party!👏

[Democrats Against Antisemites @NormalDemocrats]

@BornaTroll I don’t see any kippahs, Israel flags, American flags, or French flags, but I do see a Palestinian flag there, there, and there. I also see multiple kaffiyehs.

[Democrats Against Antisemites @NormalDemocrats]

Do not pander to the pro-Palestine crowd. Do not give them a platform. Do not mistake appeasement for tolerance.

The destruction unfolding in France is a warning. Any nation that refuses to defend its values risks losing them.

[Shai Goldman @shaig]

Marseille city hall has fallen & they have put up Palestinian flags inside

@NoPardonNeeded Are you ok?

[Democrats Against Antisemites @NormalDemocrats]

@DuganFire We didn’t hear him condemn Hezbollah and the Iranian Regime here. Not do we hear him address his family’s long history of involvement with the Muslim Brotherhood.

[Democrats Against Antisemites @NormalDemocrats]

If you’re keeping track, Abdul El-Sayed has yet to condemn the Iranian Regime and Hezbollah, and has refused to address his family’s history with the Muslim Brotherhood.

He wants to serve on the Foreign Relations Committee.

[Democrats For Mike Rogers @DemsForMike]

Abdul is asked if he condemns the Muslim Brotherhood and can’t give an immediate YES.

That’s concerning.

[Democrats Against Antisemites @NormalDemocrats]

@MarcACaputo @MLP_officiel What? You’re watching France get burned to the ground and this is your first thought?

[Democrats Against Antisemites @NormalDemocrats]

Good for Congresswoman Maloney. Democrats must remember the values and rights we are supposed to defend.

El-Sayed, Mamdani, and the progressive left don’t represent those values. Their vision for America is fundamentally at odds with the principles this country was founded upon.

[2001 Live @25YearsAgoLive]

Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) gives a speech on the House floor in a full burqa to demonstrate the repressive conditions women and girls face under Sharia Law in places like Afghanistan.

Israel is not targeting civilians, they are fighting Islamic terror. Jews do not control the world. Jews are indigenous to Judea. There is no genocide. Palestinians are not indigenous, nor were they ever a civilization. Palestinians don’t want a state and they don’t want peace.

James Talarico: "I know that October 7th was the deadliest day for the jewish people since the Holocaust. And I believe that Israel, like any nation, has a right to defend its people. But I don't believe that Benjamin Netanyahu has a right to wage war against civilians, or use collective punishment, or restrict aid to civilians."

@clairebluel Sure, but it already costs 3x what Bush had and the cost is still rising

[Democrats Against Antisemites @NormalDemocrats]

Barack Obama’s $909 million presidential library cost the equivalent of 22 brand-new elementary schools or 8 high schools in Chicago.

Imagine what $909 million could have done for the children of Chicago instead.

Former President Barack Obama accused Jews of unjustly taking land from Palestinians during remarks in Northern Ireland on Tuesday, promoting an antizionist distortion of Israel’s history that ignores decades of legal land purchases from wealthy Arab property owners. British government records show Jewish buyers paid Arab landowners the equivalent of roughly $510 million in just three years before Israel’s founding, usually at exorbitant prices.

“What is also undeniable is that they took land off people and they were excessive. And those people understandably said, ‘This is injustice and I want my land back,’” Obama said.

The former president made the ahistorical claims on October 13 during a public talk with journalist Susan McKay at The O2 Belfast, an arena in Northern Ireland. Earlier that day, he received an honorary doctorate from Queen’s University Belfast.
