We are in New Territory

As prominent Democrats — including people I once trusted implicitly — rally around El-Sayed, my own priorities are becoming ever more crystal clear.

I remain in shock at the degree of betrayal.

I am no fan of Trump or MAGA. I still hold many of the values that kept me a Democrat for most of my life.

But I now view the DSA agenda of demonizing Zionists — translating for the perpetually clueless: that means most Jews — and vilifying those who stand with us as a far more immediate threat.

This movement is not merely criticizing Israel. It is helping create an environment in which Jews and our non Jewish allies are increasingly treated as suspect, unwelcome, and legitimate targets of hostility AND violence simply because we believe Israel has a right to exist.

Jews are in a fight for our lives.

We need to start acting — and voting — accordingly.
