The remaining Old Guard Democrats should understand that the forces that they have paired with not only seek our destruction, but theirs too.

Other than self-loathsome, what would you call Chuck Schumer who coddles Ilhan Omar and courts Zohran Mamdami while both call for the eradication of Israel? The contempt that the youth wing of the Democrat party and the whole of the DSA show for Israel is no longer hidden. It is out in the open—huge and hideous. Yet Schumer and others in his party think that they can ignore, or even co-opt the beast. Of all the Democrats, only Fetterman is willing to state the obvious, that feeding the crocodile has not made it go away. In fact, appeasement has emboldened it.

A good example of that is what happened to Congressman Dan Goldman recently. I am not referring to him losing his congressional primary election to DSA commie, Brad Lander. I am referring to Goldman being savaged by Parviz Mukhamadkulov, the owner of the Poetica coffee shops in Brooklyn, after he stopped into Poetica so his 7-yr-old daughter could use the bathroom. In a tweet subsequently removed, Parviz wrote, “[W]e don’t serve racists, fascists, homophobes, genocide enablers. or anyone in between.. Too bad we didn’t recognize you right away, or we would have turned you away.”

The Poetica website proudly speaks of the Uzbek tradition of its founder that carries obligations. The website states, “When a guest arrives, the entire neighborhood organizes. Tea and bread before questions. A seat before an invitation. The guest is sacred because the act of welcoming is how a community keeps itself intact.” Apparently that Uzbek tradition of showing hospitality toward a guest is trumped by a more deeply rooted Muslim tradition of hating the Jew.

But like Schumer, Goldman is not challenging the rising tide of antisemitism that has infected his party, New York, and the rest of the Western world. It is being left to others like Harmeet Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Justice, who said that her office was investigating the incident. “Federal law prohibits public accommodations such as coffee shops from discriminating against patrons based on their race, religion, or national origin. These actions are not only reprehensible, but they’re also potentially illegal,” Dhillon wrote.

Standing up for Western civilization means supporting Israel against the anti-civilizational forces arrayed against it. Schumer and the remaining Old Guard Democrats should understand that the forces that they have paired with seek their destruction too.
