It’s seemingly inevitable that every Democrat Jewish operation will eventually turn into J Street.
After holding a session on democratic judicial reform in Israel that would restore vital checks and balances, and the rule of law, featuring Daniel Shapiro and Daniel Kurtzer, the messenger boys for the anti-Israel policies of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, the Jewish Democratic Council of America has announced that while “we respect Israel’s democracy, these bills would weaken Israel’s democratic institutions, undermining the independence of Israel’s judiciary and its system of checks and balances.”
Actually it’s the definition of upholding democratic institutions, like the Knesset, over undemocratic ones, like a Supreme Court which has veto power over the selection of its members and no constitutional safeguards, and claims the power to overrule any law or measure.
The JDCA press releases states that the group urges “the Israeli government to have meaningful deliberations about the serious implications of such actions. We also support President Herzog’s call for compromise to establish a broad consensus within Israeli society and with the opposition before moving forward.”
Those deliberations are ongoing. And since when were leftist governments, like the previous one, asked to deliberate with the opposition on anything, like giving away Israel’s energy resources to Hezbollah?
Or a deal with the PLO that has claimed thousands of lives and proved deadly to the existence of Israel.
The JDCA is attacking a democratically elected Israeli government on behalf of the Left.
And, as I noted in my recent article on the Biden administration’s funding for the leftist group organizing protests in Israel,
Before Herzog was the Labor Party’s candidate to run Israel, he was serving as Marc Rich’s lawyer. The international fugitive lobbied for a pardon from Bill Clinton through Herzog who met with at least one State Department figure. Herzog also worked for another international fugitive, Octav Botnar. Herzog served as the trustee for Botnar’s estate while millions were funneled through it to fund anti-Netanyahu ads by an associate of top Democrat campaign pros like James Carville.
There’s a long ugly history here. And while the JDCA often loves to prattle about threats to democracy, it’s attacking Israel’s democracy.

Of course. And the female “Rabbi” who heads the ACRI is openly calling for an economic boycott of Israel.

“The JDCA (i.e., Jewish Democratic Council of America) is attacking a democratically elected Israeli government on behalf of the Left.”
It seems that the left-wing politics of American Judaism ALWAYS ‘trumps’ their jewishness. Why is this? Beats me?!
Steven Brizel says
The JDCA as are all of the secular Jewish organizations is too busy demonstrating its woke beliefs which includes the disregarding of the election returns In Israel where the left has lost every election since 1977 and the fact that the High Court of Justice is a self perpetuating Jim Crow court that acts like a super legislature
Floyd Looney says
The crazy left thinks the Bill of Rights is anti-“democratic”. So, without looking into this at all, I’m siding against the left.

Open Borders leads disaster as we are seeing right now and this small minded simpleton is making things worst
