Omar, for example,\u2064 in February was <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/congress-boots-anti-semitic-democrat-ilhan-omar-from-foreign-affairs-committee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">removed<\/a> from her post \u200don the\u2063 House Foreign Affairs Committee due to her history of anti-Semitic remarks.\u2062 Omar in 2012 argued that &#8220;Israel has hypnotized the world.&#8221; In\u2062 2019, she attacked\u2063 the pro-Israel lobbying group American Israel\u200d Public Affairs Committee, saying that U.S. support for Israel is &#8220;all about the Benjamins baby.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Omar went on to compare the United States and Israel to terrorist\u200b organizations.\u200b The Democrat defended herself by claiming she was unaware there were &#8220;tropes \u2062about Jews and money.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The socialist &#8220;All Out for \u2062Palestine&#8221;\u2064 rally will take place in Times Square and appears to endorse Hamas&#8217;s attacks. The Democratic Socialists of America&#8217;s New \u2062York chapter said\u200b its supporters are taking \u2062to\u2063 the streets &#8220;in solidarity with the Palestinian people and\u2064 their right to resist 75 years of occupation and apartheid.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Those who attend the protest, the New York City Democratic Socialists of America said on Twitter, should &#8220;mask up, and don&#8217;t \u200dpost pics\u200b of yourself\u200c or others \u2063during a protest.&#8221; Participants should also refrain from discussing &#8220;stuff that may or may not have happened,&#8221; the party said.<\/p>\n<p>The attacks on Israel have\u2062 shocked both the Jewish \u2064state\u2063 and the\u2062 international \u200ccommunity. <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/national-security\/watch-hamas-terrorists-commit-atrocities-against-israeli-citizens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Videos<\/a> show Hamas terrorists gunning\u2063 down women and parading \u2062victims&#8217; bodies through the street.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu \u200ddeclared Saturday morning that the \u200cnation \u2062is &#8220;at war&#8221; and promised swift retribution. \u200dHundreds of Israelis are being held hostage in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>Other\u2063 groups who organized the Times Square protest include the Palestinian Youth Movement, the \u2064Party for Socialism \u200band Liberation, New York 4 \u2062Palestine, Al-Awda NY, and the Palestinian Assembly for \u2063Liberation. Another group behind the protest, called &#8220;The People&#8217;s\u200c Forum,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PeoplesForumNYC\/status\/1710722669547495515?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tweeted<\/a> a photo of its \u2062doors covered in\u200b fliers that said, &#8220;From the \u2063river to \u200cthe sea Palestine will be \u2064free.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How can we\u2063 address the concerns raised about the silence of Democratic members, especially those \u200dassociated with the Democratic Socialists of America, regarding \u200bthe \u200dongoing\u2064 assault on Israel?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) \u2062by insinuating that members of Congress were being \u2064bribed to support\u200b Israel. These are just a few examples of the concerning anti-Israel stance held by \u200csome members of \u2063the &#8220;Squad.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As Israel faces the worst assault\u200c in its history,\u2064 it\u2063 is concerning that Democratic members,\u200c particularly those associated with the Democratic Socialists of America, remain silent on the matter. The &#8220;All Out for Palestine&#8221; demonstration organized \u200bby the party&#8217;s New York \u200dCity chapter raises questions about where their priorities lie. While they actively \u2064rally for the Palestinian cause, they fail to acknowledge\u200d the terror and violence inflicted upon innocent Israelis.<\/p>\n<p>The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas is not a\u2064 simple case of one side versus the other. \u200bIt is \u200ca complex issue with deep historical and political roots. However, it \u2063is essential \u2064to recognize that\u2064 Hamas has\u2064 been designated \u2063as a terrorist organization\u200c by\u200b numerous countries, including the United States, the \u2063European Union, and \u2063Israel itself. Hamas openly advocates for the destruction of Israel and uses violence to achieve its\u2062 goals.<\/p>\n<p>In light of\u200d these facts, the silence from Democratic members, particularly those associated with the\u2063 Democratic Socialists of America, is troubling.

Israel, like any sovereign nation, has the right\u2064 to\u2062 defend itself\u200d against terrorism and aggression.

The international community must stand \u2064in solidarity\u2063 with Israel\u200d and condemn these acts \u2063of violence.<\/p>\n<p>The silence of \u2063Democratic members also undermines the relationship between the United States and Israel, one \u2062of America&#8217;s \u2063strongest allies in the Middle East. The lack of support and the failure to condemn \u2064terrorist actions further\u2063 isolate Israel and embolden its\u200d enemies. It is essential for elected officials to demonstrate solidarity with Israel and send a clear message that violence and terrorism will not be tolerated.<\/p>\n<p>As members of Congress, these Democratic representatives have a duty \u2062to uphold \u200dthe values of democracy, human rights, and justice. \u2062They have a responsibility to condemn terrorism and violence,\u200b regardless of the perpetrators \u2063or their\u2062 motivations. Remaining silent on the assault \u200don Israel not only fails to\u2063 fulfill their \u2064obligations but also \u2064sends a dangerous message \u2063that\u200c terrorism against Israel can go \u2062unchallenged.<\/p>\n<p>It is crucial for the American public to hold their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-democrats-h-r-1-is-a-power-grab-would-undermine-states-election-rules\/\" title=\"Republicans: Democrats\u2019 H.R. 1 Is a Power Grab, Would Undermine States\u2019 Election Rules\">elected officials accountable<\/a>. We should demand that our \u2062representatives speak \u2063out against terrorism, condemn violence, and support Israel&#8217;s right \u2063to defend itself.
