Increasingly, support for Israel has become subject to political litmus tests in some corners of Democratic politics, while antisemitism is too often excused, minimized, or ignored.

Zionism did not emerge from privilege or power. It grew out of centuries of persecution, expulsions, pogroms, inquisitions, and the repeated denial of the Jewish people’s right to live safely and freely. It was never about conquest. It was about self-determination, security, and survival in the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people.

To characterize Zionism as colonialism is to disregard both Jewish history and the reality that Jews have maintained a continuous connection to the land of Israel for thousands of years.

For more than 75 years, Israelis have lived under the constant threat of terrorism, war, and those who openly seek the destruction of the Jewish state. Any honest conversation about the conflict must begin with that reality. And must also acknowledge the horrors of October 7.

More than 1,200 people were murdered. Hundreds were kidnapped and taken hostage. Families were slaughtered in their homes. Men, women, children, and the elderly were brutally attacked.
There are documented acts of torture, sexual violence, and unspeakable brutality. Entire families were burned alive. People were targeted not because of anything they had done, but because they were Jews and because they lived in Israel.

When discussions of this conflict minimize, excuse, or ignore these atrocities, they fail to recognize the trauma that Israelis and Jews around the world continue to carry. A commitment to human rights and human dignity requires acknowledging these horrors, condemning them unequivocally, and rejecting any effort to justify or rationalize them.

We can and should debate policies, governments, and leaders. But criticism of Israel that ignores Jewish history, dismisses Jewish self-determination, or holds the Jewish state to standards NOT applied to any other nation raises serious concerns.

At a time when antisemitism is rising at alarming levels, we should be working to combat hatred and misinformation, not amplifying narratives that erase Jewish history, deny Jewish self-determination, or contribute to the isolation of the world’s only Jewish state!

Antisemitism is antisemitism. It should never be tolerated, excused, minimized, or normalized, regardless of whether it comes from the political left, the political right, or anywhere in between.

The fuck are you conflating these things about being Jewish with things about being in the Israeli government

[Mark Slapinski @mark_slapinski]

It is okay to be Jewish.

It is okay to attend your local synagogue.

It is okay to celebrate Hannukah.

It is not okay to use white phosphorus on civilians in Gaza and Lebanon.

This mentality is more common among my fellow Democrats than people want to admit.

“Honestly yeah, because I don’t support genocide.”

Axios: Jewish Dems sound alarm about antisemitism and 2028

A growing number of Jewish Democrats tell Axios they feel shunned — like unwelcome strangers in their own party.

They warn that the constant and escalating hostilities over Israel's actions in Gaza have at times veered into hostility toward Jewish Americans that could hurt Democrats in 2028.

"Jews are starting to feel scared again," said Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), who's Jewish. He said Jewish voters are beginning to leave the Democratic Party but that it's not yet a "mass exodus."

Moskowitz added that party leaders are "not taking it seriously. Words are irrelevant; condemnation statements are irrelevant."

This motherfucker ran a solid kingdom and I think some acknowledgement of that is overdue. Low crime, clean streets, quality monarch.

[Evan Falchuk @efalchuk]

I don’t think Democrats fully understand how badly they are alienating Jewish voters by tolerating and embracing this shit.

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

John Fetterman seems to genuinely think that the reason no one likes him is because he refuses to wear a suit.

It's not the hoodie, dude. It's because you've become a stooge for AIPAC and the Republican party.

American Jews oppose the guy with the Nazi tattoo. And said guy is enraged over it.

Medicine is a rightfully revered and honorable profession. That doctors would betray their values and integrity for this man is a disgrace. Shame.

[Dr. Vin Gupta @VinGuptaMD]

When a President’s physicians start citing “AI cardiac age” metrics and explaining bilateral bruising from “frequent handshaking,” the line between medical documentation and political messaging disappears.

[Evan Falchuk @efalchuk]

@WOWT6News Umm that’s not a “pitch” at all, just an assault.

[Aviva Klompas @AvivaKlompas]

Zohran Mamdani’s decision not to attend the Israel Day Parade in NYC tells Jewish New Yorkers exactly where they stand.

Politicians routinely attend events for communities whose politics they do not share. Mature leaders understand the difference between engaging constituents and endorsing every action of a foreign government.

@NYCMayor is choosing not to make that distinction. At a time of record Jew-hatred, he can’t bring himself to show up for Jewish New Yorkers.

Hi, it's me, I'm the reason

[Jeremy Burton @BurtonJM]

. @RepAuchincloss is an American veteran and patriot who is expressing legitimate concern about the normalization of Nazi imagery and extremism in American politics (agree or disagree).

@hasanthehun went straight to an antisemitic 'dual-loyalty/foreign control' trope.

[Amy Spitalnick @amyspitalnick]

hey, this is what antisemitism looks like.

The only reason to bring Israel into this is to suggest that those speaking out about a Nazi tattoo are controlled by a foreign power, rather than legitimate concerns about extremism.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

I want to thank Senator John Cornyn for his years representing our state. 

We don’t agree on everything, but we both still believe in public service.

To Senator Cornyn’s supporters: you have a place in our campaign.
