People who are invested in making sure there’s democracy and freedom of religion — Catholics, Baptists, Muslims, Jews, Christians — we have an obligation to protect Jewish Americans to make sure they have the same rights. If those rights aren't protected, our rights are not protected. //

As a civil rights lawyer, I've never been worried about right-wing anti-Semitism in the United States, which, at most, is comprised of a few lunkheads I've never met. The Democrats have had a strong strain of anti-Semitism since FDR, and Truman made it a policy after Israel was reestablished (with the other Truman doctrine we rarely hear about)--that American support for Israel was tied to forcing Israel not to be too Jewish in exchange for arms, and holding American Jewish voters hostage to American support of Israel. Carter made anti-Semitism institutional at Camp David, and the current Dems have moved that anti-Semitism to the front of its coalition. And Harvard is the cradle of the Establishment Left along with NPR (Nominally Palestinian Radio) and the rest of the mainstream media. Recap--right wingers are a few lunkhead individuals. Left wing anti-Semitism is official policy of the Democratic Party, its colleges and its attack dogs at places like the SPLC and even the ADL. All you have to do is bring a case against black municipal officials in major blue cities over anti-Semitic policies and out come those attack dogs screaming "Free Palestine."' Let's drop the idea that this is a bipartisan problem. The Democratic Party of the United States in 2025 and the National Socialist Party of Germany in 1933 share a platform, and it has to be rooted out. Sorry Terrell, but your community talks a good game but is a big part of the problem. //

“First they came for the Communists,
And I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the Socialists,
And I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
And I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
And I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me,
And there was no one left to speak out for me.”
