Peloni: Alan Dershowitz raises the question about Democrats standing up to the bigotry in their party. In doing so, notes that both Sen. Fetterman and Rep. Gottheimer stand as important symbols declaring that bigotry has no place in the Democratic party, even as bigotry currently is dominating the Democratic party. What is important in noting this, however, is not just the reality of the Democrats having plunged like so many sea lions off the cliffs of insanity, but the stark symbols by which these two men represent, offering their party a light in the darkness when its members come to grasp the consequences for having so badly betrayed not only the pro-Jewish roots from which their party was based, but also the consequences of succumbing to an electoral strategy which only holds local rather than national support. Indeed, Mamdani is not the face of America, and America is not the plaything of the far Left, making its near absolute control over the Democratic party a disaster for the national ambitions of the party in the coming years. Unlike the Making America Great movement across the US, which aspires to support the goals of returning America to its roots, the return of good governance and the recognition of America’s identity as an acknowledged and important asset, the Democrats have by and large chosen to advocate for terrorism, empowering the worst aspects of human societies, the opposition for which the modern Democratic party was originally structured. Fetterman and Gottheimer maintain this original credo of their party, and the values which many of their fellow Democrats are themselves too craven to publicly support. Yet, after a period of being left in the political wilderness on the national stage for a number of years, the Democrats will ultimately reflect and change course. Afterall, the pursuit of power is what drove the Left to morph into its current Far Left iteration, and likely that same desire is all that might one day bring a sense of sanity back to the Democratic party, assuming it actually survives its attempts to emulate the many sea lions in their eager pursuit of folly.

There is no good reason – in logic, history, philosophy – for the left, especially the hard left, to so vehemently oppose Israel and Zionism, its national liberation movement. Being anti-Israel has become a litmus test for today’s left. It hasn’t always been that way. When the nation-state of the Jewish people was first recognized by the United Nations in 1947, left-wing countries, individuals, and even the Communist Party rallied to its support.
