What Democrats Want, Day 67, Countdown to Oblivion? ISRAEL


As of today, there are 67 days until the most consequential election in American history. This is what they say about many past elections, but this is really it. For if the Democrats seize power – control of the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate and the Presidency – and doing it by hook or by crook (the justifies the means, you know) America as we know it will be forever changed. America envisioned and created by the Founding Fathers will disappear into the shadows of history.

The ungodly secular-humanists/Marxists slow march through America’s institutions over the last 100 years or so will have reached a crescendo – fulfilling Mr. Obama’s fundamental transformation of America. Never again will the demonic Democratic Party relinquish its grip on political power and control of the masses.

Envision with me what a Socialist Democratic Party, takeover, a bloodless coup, a regime change, would look like. This is one in a series of daily articles leading up to the 2020 General Election scheduled for November 3, 2020.

Israel has had divided support among Americans. It seems that both parties on the surface say that they support Israel, but the Democratic talk does not always match its walk as does the Republican Party’s support at least under President Trump. When it comes right down to it Israel is our only trusted ally in the Middle East. Israel is our friend. 

Democratic Party and Israel 

In a Jewish News Syndicate article, “Democrats adopt platform at convention supporting two-state solution, opposing BDS,” the author summarizes several key points related to Israel found in the 2020 Democratic Party platform:

Ø    “The Democratic platform includes language that expresses support for the U.S.-Israel relationship, a pledge to maintain security funding for Israel and backing for a two-state solution “that ensures Israel’s future as a Jewish and democratic state with recognized borders and upholds the right of Palestinians to live in freedom and security in a viable state of their own.”

Ø    Regarding the status of Jerusalem, the platform states: “We believe that while Jerusalem is a matter for final-status negotiations, it should remain the capital of Israel, an undivided city accessible to people of all faiths.”

Ø    It also expresses opposition to “any effort to unfairly single out and delegitimize Israel, including at the United Nations or through the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions [BDS] movement, while protecting the constitutional right of our citizens to free speech.”

A NJ.com article adds that the Democratic platform also opposes terrorism, settlement expansion and “any unilateral steps by either side — including annexation — that undermine prospects for two states.”

I am not so sure that the more radical elements of the Democrat Party, which makes up a large part of its activist and radical base, would agree with this portion of the Party’s platform. On college campuses, in many major corporations and non profit organization there is a strong BDS movement. There is also a pro-Palestinian movement. The Obama Administration funded terrorism by returning huge amounts of money on pallets to the regime in Iran, which is hellbent on destroying Israel. Joe Biden was part of that Administration.

When President Trump moved the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem in recognizing it as being the capital of Israel, the Democrats were divided on their support for the move.

More than anything I think that the Democratic Party platform was written to placate the Jewish vote more than really supporting Israel to the degree that the Republican Party supports her.

Republican Party and Israel

The NJ.com article cited above, summarized the Republican Party platform: While both parties support Israel, the Republicans said nothing about the two-state solution that has been the bipartisan cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy for decades. It called for moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, which Trump did during his first term…The GOP platform called BDS “anti-Semitism” and said it “should be denounced by advocates of academic freedom.”’

Recently the Trump Administration helped to broker a deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. The Washington Post noted that President Trump’s “allies are casting the deal that the White House helped broker between Israel and the United Arab Emirates as a historic act of peacemaking. In a tweet Tuesday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declared the agreement “truly the most significant step forward for Middle East peace in two and a half decades.””

President Trump has done more than his predecessors and has done more than talk about helping Israel, he has acted on their behalf.

Conclusion

Were the Democrats to win control of the entire government this fall, the status of Israel-U.S. relations would be a big question mark. Israel would receive less support and her enemies in the Middle East including Palestine would receive more support. A vote for the Democratic Party and for a Democratic candidate is generally a vote against the state of Israel.
