New York's 10th Congressional District lies entirely within Brooklyn. Running for that seat are two Jewish candidates - incumbent Dan Goldman and Brad Lander. Goldman is a mostly strong supporter of Israel. Lander is another matter. He has been endorsed by Mamdani. Not surprisingly, he is highly critical of Israel. He has accused Israel of committing genocide, and occupying Palestinian land. All lies. He has opposed military aid to Israel. And, like his ally Mamdani, refused to march in the Israel Day parade. The primary is on June 23, and Lander has a substantial lead in the polls.
Let me be clear about something. I have previously criticized fellow Jews who are on the Left. But I will defend all Jews against antisemitism. But while I'm at it, recall that 40 Senators recently voted to withhold military aid to Israel in the middle of Israel fighting a multi-front war. Incredibly, seven Jews joined (in whole or in part) in that vote. Here are the Jews who embarrassed themselves: Bernie Sanders, Adam Schiff, Jon Ossoff, Ron Wyden, Brian Schatz, Elissa Slotkin, and Michael Bennett. Two voted only to block bulldozer sales. But they should all be ashamed of themselves.
Chris Rabb will be the Congressman from Pennsylvania's 3rd Congressional District. What do we know about Rabb? He opposes arms sales to Israel. Like Mamdani, he believes the mere existence of Israel is an ongoing Nakba. And he says he will sponsor a resolution recognizing the Nakba, and calling for a Palestinian right of return. Which means millions of Palestinians would be entitled to live in Israel, effectively ending the one Jewish state in the world. Anybody believe that a Palestinian state, likely run by Hamas, would be an ally of the United States?
But it appears that Rabb does not think that much of Jews in general. Recall the Bondi Beach massacre in Australia last December? What were Jewish people doing on that beach? Simply celebrating Chanukah. Two evil perpetrators shot and killed 15 people and wounded 40. On Rabb's website was a post claiming that the whole thing was a "false flag" operation carried out by Zionists. Rabb later claimed that he had nothing to do with that post, and that a staffer must have written it. Does he think that's better? What kind of staffers (Jew haters) does he have working for him?
Incredibly, Jewish Congress member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) has come out in support of Rabb. Recall that Raskin led the second impeachment proceeding against Trump. Josh Shapiro is the Governor of Pennsylvania, and he is Jewish. While there have been reports that he quietly worked against Rabb, he has yet to publicly condemn Rabb or his hateful comments. Rabb will be a Congressman from the state Shapiro runs. Yet no public condemnation. This is what happens when the Leftists and Islamists dominate the Democrat Party. It is the rare exception that can be counted on to say or do the right thing. They fall in line out of fear of being attacked by the Leftists and Islamists.
Have you heard of James Talarico? He is a Democrat running for Senate in Texas. Not surpisingly, he has accused Israel of "atrocities in Palestine" and "war crimes." All lies, not to mention that there is no Palestine. He wants to ban the sale of offensive weapons to Israel. Talarico is critical of AIPAC. He has opposed the Iran war. He wants to take money from ICE and spend it in the local communities. As for American sovereignty, with Texas being a border state, he says we should have a "giant welcome mat out front" but have a lock on the door. That seems like a mixed message.
I had previously discussed Graham Platner in Part II of my May 4, 2026 post, "Are We Living Through The Fall Of Western Civilization?" Apparently, the entire 18 years that he had that Nazi tattoo on his chest he says he had no idea what it was. Sure. Now, it's been revealed that he has had a habit of "sexting" with various women, even while married. His defense? Let's not talk about gossip, let's discuss the issues. Sure, Democrats are always willing to do that for Republicans. Right? One last point about Platner. Or two. He is a self-described communist. And he has suggested that female victims of sexual assault bring it on themselves. But the Party that brutally attacked Kavanaugh does not care about any of that. They want to take back the Senate - at all costs.
J Street is a self-proclaimed pro-Israel lobbying group. In my opinion, they are anything but. It has been constant criticism of Israel, from ending military subsidies, to asserting Israel is responsible for civilian casualties in Gaza. They do not support President Trump in the war against Iran. They did not even support moving the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Israel's actual capital city - Jerusalem. So, it was no surprise that Israel's Ambassador to the U.S., Yechiel Leiter, has called J Street a "cancer within the Jewish community." That comment was met by an objection from over 500 Rabbis, Cantors and other Jewish leaders (undoubtedly all leftwing Democrats). They insisted that the Ambassador apologize for his comment. I hope he does not. But if he does, here is my opinion: J Street is a cancer within the Jewish community.
How should I end this two-part post? What is there to say about a Democrat Party that would crucify any Republican for comparable comments made by these Democrats. Sporting a Nazi tattoo. Saying women are responsible for sexual assaults on them. Palling around with people like the Blind Sheikh and Hasan Piker - two people who would like to see America destroyed. But this is where that Party is. Don't expect to hear outrage from Democrats you may know. No, that outrage is reseved solely for Donald Trump. Sad to say, as much as I've tried to connect the dots for people I know who still belong to that party, I have been unsuccessful. No one should ever again contact me to tell me how awful Trump is. I'll take Trump any day over these Nazi/communists/Islamists America hating and Jew hating Democrats.
