Rep. Jamie Raskin is no longer a friend of the Jewish people or Israel. His support of the Block the Bombs Act is a further verification that he lacks the backbone and moral clarity to do the right thing and help our ally Israel to finish the job in response to Hamas’ terror attack of Oct. 7, 2023.
While there is certainly suffering in Gaza, what is the reason for that? Hamas steals the food that is brought into Gaza and sells it in order to finance its ongoing terror operation, as well as using civilians as human shields.
Rep. Raskin lacks the courage to stand up to the far-left progressives that have taken over the Democratic Party. Apparently, Rep. Raskin and all those who are supporting this legislation are content to allow Hamas to survive and perpetrate its terror at some point in the future.
It is time for the American Jewish community to wake up and recognize that the Democratic Party is no longer a friend of Jews or Israel.
Unfortunately, people like Rep. Raskin and Sen. Bernie Sanders, among others, believe that progressive ideology is more important than supporting the Jewish community or Israel.
It is time for the American Jewish community to wake up and divorce themselves from the Democratic Party as the Democratic Party has demonstrated that it does not support the Jewish community or Israel. We need to wake up before it is too late.
