(Jewish Group)Far-left Democrats Propose Resolution Linking Israeli Government to Pittsburgh Shootin

[Behind the Aegis]

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

Far-left Democrats in California have put forth draft resolutions fiercely critical of Israel ahead of this weekend’s state party convention, including one suggesting that the Israeli government is partly responsible for the atmosphere inspiring last October’s massacre at a Pittsburgh synagogue.

One resolution, first reported by Fox News, calls the murder of 11 Jews by a white supremacist “the culmination of an alarming re-emergence of virulent anti-Semitism that is a core element of historical and currently resurgent white supremacism in the United States and around the world.”

The “Israeli government, along with some of its U.S. backers,” the resolution continues, “welcomed support from Christian fundamentalist and ultra-right groups in the United States and abroad, dangerously ignoring their deeply rooted anti-Semitism while aligning with their virulent Islamophobia.”

That platform resolution was authored by David Mandel, a state Assembly delegate from the Sacramento area who Fox says holds dual U.S.-Israel citizenship.

If true, this is beyond disgusting! While not unexpected, this type of shit has to be called out. As of yet, I have not been able to find the actual resolutions, so if any one finds them, please post.

1. I tend to believe it.

[question everything]

2. We need to demand that the Democratic establishment condemn and even kick out these people

from the party. This is a sure way to shift the Jewish vote if not toward Trump certainly away from the Democrats.

4. I don't think they can "kick these people from the party". They also are not going to shift the

"Jewish vote" to trump, because they represent a fringe element in the party, not the majority for sure, and as I previously posted, this was caught immediately:

One thing I find very curious, is that Mandel choose to speak with Fox News

As I said in this thread the California Democratic Party does NOT necessarily represent its members, and I provided evidence why that is

Intentionally or unintentionally, these self-serving individuals seem to be going out of their way to try and divide Democrats when we are facing the most critical election in our country.

3. I really need to put emphasis on this. The California Democratic Party is NOT necessarily

representative of California Democrats

This was demonstrated when they endorsed Kevin de Leon for Senator over Dianne Feinstein.

"Dianne Feinstein won reelection by an overwhelming majority in that race.

This proved the state party organization comes nowhere near representing the party’s membership.

It also begs the question why is that, and that goes to how they select their delegates for the next party convention.

They have caucuses in all California Assembly districts where they choose 14 delegates per district for the next convention, the one we are seeing now.

The problem was, the party didn't notify most of the Democrats of the vote that was to take place, and there was no notice on the party website. Most who attended were informed by candidates or word of mouth, and they called this a Democratic process?

Those who did turn up for the caucuses, heard a few speeches, then waited in line to vote, and when they voted, no one verified where they lived, or whether they had already voted.

They used a hand stamp as there verification, but not everyone received that hand stamp. It was somewhat of an "honor" system, where anyone could vote, citizen or not, district resident or not, Democrat or not, multiple times.
The check was through a laptop computer per caucus, used to verify ID through a voter DB, but only if someone challenged the legitimacy of a would be voter.

and determining who won these delegate elections was a mess. The party created two gender categories: "self-identified female" and "male/other than self-identified female" Voters could mark seven in each category, but no matter who got the most votes, the top seven of each would become delegates. So if 14 self-identified other-than-females got more votes than the leading female, seven would be knocked out.
This is democracy?"

Here is an update on those anti-Israeli resolutions:

As said in the above link, and what I alluded to, this is a small fringe that are trying to abuse the system, and I won't mention the candidate that Mandel supports for president, but just to emphasize, this so-called Progressive Caucus of the California Democratic Party, does NOT represent the majority of California DEMOCRATS

5. Thank you for the update!!

I should have known the odious JVP was involved. I am curious as to know which, if any, other countries were mentioned in the platform resolutions. Sadly, this group is, IMO, trying to morph the democratic party into Labour of the UK. That will never do!
