The congressman, who wished to remain anonymous, spoke to \u200dPolitico about his concerns \u2062regarding\u2062 the &#8220;Squad&#8221; and their anti-Semitic sentiments.<\/p>\n<p>The congressman emphasized the importance of \u2064not taking for granted that members of the\u2063 &#8220;Squad&#8221;\u200d will continue to voice their anti-Israel views. He stressed \u200dthe \u200dneed to prevent these\u2064 sentiments from gaining further influence within the party. This is a \u200cclear\u2064 indication that there is a growing\u2063 concern about\u200c the potential \u200dimpact of these views on the \u2062party&#8217;s overall stance\u2063 on Israel and its policies.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, members of the &#8220;Squad&#8221;\u2063 such as Cori Bush\u2063 from Missouri and Rashida Tlaib from\u200c Michigan have been blaming Israel for Hamas&#8217;s terrorist attacks. Bush even went as \u2063far as calling for the cutting off of U.S. aid \u200cto Israel, citing what\u200c she perceives as Israeli military occupation and apartheid. These statements have raised alarm among \u2062Democratic congressmen who believe such views go against the long-standing bipartisan support for Israel.<\/p>\n<p>The anonymous congressman also raised concerns about the consequences when Israel launches its\u2064 counterassault against Hamas. He questioned how the situation will be portrayed in the media and what impact it will have on public opinion. This \u200breflects a worry about the potential negative portrayal of Israel&#8217;s actions and the subsequent impact on \u2062the party&#8217;s stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Another anonymous House Democrat shared similar concerns, particularly fearing that the Progressive Caucus will become more \u200dvocal as images of\u2063 &#8220;dead Palestinians&#8221; circulate following Israel&#8217;s response\u200b to Hamas terrorists. This highlights a fear that public opinion may be swayed by emotions and graphic imagery, leading to a shift in support away \u200cfrom Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Both representatives expressed\u200b worries that \u200cPresident Joe Biden&#8217;s support for Israel may decrease as criticism from pro-Palestinian Democrats intensifies. \u200bThey cited a pattern observed after Hamas&#8217;s rocket attack on\u200c Israel in 2021, where some \u200dDemocratic members expressed criticism towards Israel. This\u2064 indicates a concern that the party&#8217;s support for Israel may be wavering under the pressure of internal divisions.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast to these concerns, Democratic congressmen Ritchie Torres from New York and Josh Gottheimer from New Jersey have publicly\u2062 condemned the anti-Semitic comments made by Bush \u2062and Tlaib. Gottheimer, in particular, expressed his disgust at the rhetoric\u200c of\u200b the &#8220;Squad&#8221; members. \u2062These congressmen&#8217;s condemnation of their colleagues&#8217; anti-Israel sentiments reflects a clear \u2062divide within the Democratic Party on this \u200cissue.<\/p>\n<p>The concerns raised by these Democratic congressmen highlight the growing\u200b worries over anti-Israel \u200bsentiments within the party. As the \u2064Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues to evolve, it is crucial\u200d for the Democratic Party to address these concerns \u2064and ensure that support for Israel remains strong and bipartisan. The future stance of the party on this issue will undoubtedly be a topic of interest as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-deny-maganomics-focus-is-a-concession-bidenomics-is-not-resonating\/\" title=\"Democrats reject the notion that 'MAGAnomics' is a concession to the lack of resonance of 'Bidenomics'.\">2022 midterm elections \u200bapproach<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An unidentified Democratic lawmaker expressed concern to Politico about the potential spread of anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian sentiments within the party.
