DNC Caught Between Israel Hatred And Jew Hatred/Hamas Support

The big wigs in the Party aren’t sure about going as far as their unhinged, Jew hating and Hamas supporting base wants

DNC punts on dueling Israel resolutions as Chair Ken Martin calls for bridging the divide

The Democratic National Committee delayed making a final decision on a pair of dueling resolutions on the U.S.-Israel relationship, with Chair Ken Martin calling for Democrats to “keep working through” an issue that continues to roil the party.

Democrats had appeared headed for a showdown on Tuesday as the DNC’s resolutions committee considered the competing resolutions, one of which called for a military arms embargo and suspension of military aid to Israel.

The committee initially voted to reject that measure while advancing the one backed by Martin, which called for “unrestricted” aid to Gaza and a two-state solution. But soon after the arms embargo vote failed, Martin announced he was withdrawing his successful resolution, after speaking briefly with the backers of the vote on the sidelines of the meeting.

“There’s a divide in our party on this issue,” Martin said, when announcing he’d pulled his resolution. “This is a moment that calls for shared dialogue, calls for shared advocacy.”

Has Martin seen what his voters are calling for?

The vote on the resolutions had become a kind of proxy battle for wings of the party — and a test of Democrats’ continued shift on Israel amid a brutal war with Hamas. Martin’s resolution represented a more traditionally mainstream compromise approach. But progressives had pushed the failed measure that called for an arms embargo and recognition of a Palestinian state.

They, like the Palestinians (which no other Muslim nation wants to let in), want Israel erased. The 2 state solution emboldens Hamas, Hezbollah, and the other Islamic terrorist groups.

The defeated resolution contained similar language to a Senate resolution led by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) last month, which 44 senators — a majority of the Senate Democratic Caucus — signed onto. While that arms embargo resolution failed, it gained support from 12 new Democratic senators since the previous it had been considered, the latest in a series of signs that Democrats’ frustration is deepening with Israel’s conduct and the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Funny how they never have anything bad to say about Hamas or how Palestinians give them shelter.

Some resolution committee members raised concerns that Minnerly’s resolution did not mention Hamas, and “I’d like to see the onus of a ceasefire, not only with the right-wing government but with Hamas, and it does not mention that,” said Harini Krishnan, a DNC member from California.

You won’t get it, Harini.
