And then there is the rabid anti-Semitism of congresswomen Alexandra Octavio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib, all of whom rose to important positions based on the success of the Democrats. This too did not matter, for Jews were quick to rationalize that Speaker Nancy Pelosi had them under control.
Biden’s Jews - American Thinker "When a friend of mine converted to Judaism, he told the rabbi that he understood the ethics, the laws, and all that was required of him. But there was one thing that he said that he refused to do. He refused to become a Democrat.
The bond between the Jews and the Democrat Party is so strong that, except for blacks, Jews, more than any other group, overwhelmingly support Democratic candidates. In his seminal work Beyond the Melting Pot, on the impact of American immigration on society, sociologist Nathan Glazer observed, along with co-author Daniel Patrick Moynihan, that Jews in America have achieved the socioeconomic status of Episcopalians, but they continued to vote like Puerto Ricans.The lopsided alignment of Jews with the Democrats was showcased in two infamous quotes. The first arguably attributed to James Baker was, “F**k the Jews, they don’t vote for us.” The more recent version characterizes the Biden administration’s pressure on Israel to accept a premature ceasefire in the recent battle with Hamas, “F**k the Jews, they’ll vote for us anyhow.' ” . . .

But the statement was, nonetheless, shocking. Here is what the opinion editors said, "Turning to the tragedy in Afghanistan, it’s too late, and not helpful, to complain about whether the exit and evacuation could have been handled better. That’s over now."
"Let’s consider how out of touch with reality you must be to write that. Let’s apply this trenchant reasoning to other events, “Turning to the tragedy in Europe known as the Holocaust, it’s too late, and not helpful to complain about whether the Western powers should have come to the aid of the Jews. That’s over now.” Or how about, “Turning to the tragedy of trans-Atlantic slavery, it’s too late, and not helpful to complain about whether the institution could have been handled better or to ask for reparations. That’s over now.' ”
Virulent Israel-hatred erupts on the floor of Congress - American Thinker ..."What made Thursday's vote so notable was the virulent Israel-hatred that the naysayers expressed, from Rashida Tlaib's openly anti-Semitic statements, which earned her an open condemnation from a fellow Democrat, to Ocasio-Cortez's bursting into tears because Israel was being given the means to defend itself.
"Rashida Tlaib, who consistently makes it clear that she sits in Congress to represent Gaza and the West Bank, was the worst of the bunch:"...
