Their new religion\u2063 requires a \u200cnew\u2062 good and evil. The good are always the\u2064 oppressed for whom \u201cby any means necessary\u201d will\u200c mean violence, while the oppressors deserve humiliation, defeat, and even death. \u2063Of course, \u200cthe woke clerisy get to determine who is oppressed \u2014 senior Jewish senators need not apply.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-43dabab087bc6c565730ce6d40bd271c fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-10\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-43dabab087bc6c565730ce6d40bd271c\"><\/div>\n<p>Thus, Schumer\u2019s observation that \u201cantisemitic conspiracy \u200ctheories\u2063 throughout the generations often theorize, often weaponize this very dynamic [that is, that some Jewish people have done well for themselves] by pitting the successes the Jewish people have done with their countrymen. It has happened \u2064throughout history. \u2062It\u2019s happening now. \u2063For Jewish Americans, any strength in security we enjoy always feels tenuous \u2014 no\u200b matter how well we\u2019re doing, it can all be taken \u200daway in an instant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Mr. Majority Leader, that\u2019s why we Americans believe we have \u201cunalienable rights\u201d such as \u201clife, \u200dliberty, and the pursuit of happiness\u201d and a Constitution\u2063 to make those \u2063rights\u2064 more than theory \u2014 including a\u200c right to\u2064 keep and bear arms, so that all Americans, including \u2063those of the Jewish \u200bfaith, might protect themselves, their homes, and \u2063their\u200d places of worship. And should that somehow break down and\u2062 prove\u200b an insufficient guarantor of safety, the state of Israel itself,\u200c as the world\u2019s sole Jewish \u2064state, serves \u200bas \u200ca refuge, a redoubt where the \u2062existence of the Jewish people isn\u2019t dependent on the sufferance of mob or majority.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Democrats\u2019\u2064 Move Toward the Fringe<\/h2>\n<p>One \u200dwonders\u2064 how Schumer will work through his revelation of betrayal. What \u200dpath will he take? Will\u200c political expediency cause him to cut his journey\u200d short? Will the threat of the \u200bpolitical wilderness cause him to bury his fears\u200d about the new left\u2064 and its inveterate Jew hatred?<\/p>\n<p>The fractures now rending the Democrat Party moved from the \u200bfringe to academia to the mainstream in a terrifyingly short\u2063 span. By 2010, President Barack Obama\u200c made no secret of his antipathy \u200bfor Israel\u2019s leader Benjamin \u200cNetanyahu, who started his second stint as prime minister only two months after Obama was sworn into office. And\u2064 with his subsequent rapprochement with the\u200b Islamic Republic of Iran, Obama\u2019s tilt against \u2062Israel burst into the open. The\u200b ideological roots of that policy have now matured\u2064 and are bearing a poisoned\u200c fruit. We already see its first casualty in \u2062the left\u2019s crumbling fa\u00e7ade, as common agreements\u200c shatter and basic survival and dignity assume greater importance than abortion and tax policy.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s \u200bhard to work with people who, chanting, \u201cFrom the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,\u201d are \u2064advocating \u200cfor the death and diaspora \u200bof millions of your co-religionists.<\/p>\n<p>The answer to the above questions might well determine\u2064 America\u2019s future, as we labor\u2063 to enlist the\u200b better \u200bangels\u200d of our nature to exorcise the latest demons\u2063 of hate stalking among us.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-dfc6c4bb2b4bdc57c9087dd1ff2cc143 fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-dfc6c4bb2b4bdc57c9087dd1ff2cc143\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What \u200bsteps can be taken to \u2064address the rise of antisemitic sentiments within political parties and foster \u2063a more inclusive \u2062and tolerant society<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Eir \u200dfamilies, and their communities\u2064 when\u2062 faced with the \u200cthreat\u2064 of antisemitism or any \u2062other form of violence.<\/p>\n<p>Schumer\u2019s speech highlights\u2064 an important and\u2062 troubling reality \u2064that is currently unfolding in \u2063America. Antisemitism \u2064is on\u2063 the\u2063 rise, and it is not\u200b just coming from the usual suspects like neo-Nazis\u2062 or white supremacists. It is also emanating from within the Democratic Party itself, a party that Senator \u200bSchumer has\u200c been a part of for \u200chis entire \u2063political career.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that Schumer, a prominent Jewish American and the highest-ranking\u200c Jewish\u2062 official in \u200cthe history of the United States, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-l-a-county-health-official-caught-dancing-after-telling-business-to-close-owner-says\/\" title=\"WATCH: L.A. County Health Official Caught Dancing After Telling Business To Close, Owner Says\">felt compelled<\/a> to address this issue\u200c is significant. \u2062It shows \u200cthat even someone in his position, with all his \u200caccomplishments and influence, is not \u200bimmune to the rising\u2064 tide of hatred and bigotry.<\/p>\n<p>Schumer points \u2063out that Jewish Americans, despite representing only 2\u2063 percent of the \u200cpopulation, \u200dare the targets of\u2063 55 percent of all religion-based hate \u200dcrimes. This is a startling statistic that\u200b cannot \u2062be ignored. It \u2063is indicative of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/in-the-strange-world-of-chinese-media-beijings-aggression-is-always-an-american-conspiracy-theory\/\" title=\"In the Strange World of Chinese Media, Beijing's Aggression Is Always an American Conspiracy Theory\">deep-rooted prejudice<\/a> that is pervasive in our \u2062society, and it is growing more pronounced \u2064with each passing year.<\/p>\n<p>One of\u200d the catalysts for the recent surge in\u200b antisemitism is the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Schumer notes that after the Oct. 7\u200b massacre of \u2062Israeli civilians by Hamas,\u200c incidents of antisemitism increased nearly \u2064300\u200b percent. This is deeply troubling and\u2064 speaks to a troubling lack of empathy and understanding.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps even more disturbing is Schumer&#8217;s revelation that many \u200cof those \u200dexpressing antisemitic sentiments are not fringe extremists but rather individuals who were once considered allies by liberal\u200d Jewish Americans. This is a stark reminder that hatred\u200d and prejudice \u200dcan come from unexpected places, and it underscores the need for vigilance and education.<\/p>\n<p>The left&#8217;s denial of history is \u2063also a cause for concern. Despite the long history of\u200d Jewish persecution and suffering, there are those who see Jewish people as the oppressors rather than\u200d the oppressed. This distorted\u200c worldview is\u200b dangerous and undermines efforts\u200d to combat antisemitism and\u200c promote understanding and\u200d tolerance.<\/p>\n<p>Schumer&#8217;s speech serves as a wake-up call to all Americans that we must confront and address the rise of antisemitism in our society. It is a reminder\u200b that we \u200bcannot \u2064take our rights\u200d and freedoms for granted and that we must actively work to protect and preserve them.<\/p>\n<p>As \u200cindividuals, we can educate\u200c ourselves\u200d about the\u2064 history and experiences of Jewish people, \u200bchallenge \u2064our \u200cown biases and prejudices, and stand up against bigotry and hatred in all \u200dits forms.\u2064 As \u200ca society,\u2063 we must create an environment\u2062 that is inclusive, respectful, and supportive of all religious and \u2062ethnic groups.<\/p>\n<p>Antisemitism has no place in America or any civilized society. It is imperative that we come \u2062together to condemn it and work towards a future\u2063 where all people \u2064can live free\u2062 from fear and discrimination.\u2062 Only through \u200ccollective action and a commitment to \u200cunderstanding and\u2062 empathy can we hope to overcome this troubling trend and build a more tolerant and inclusive society for future generations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday, Chuck Schumer, the U.S. Senate Majority Leader, addressed the Senate on the alarming surge of antisemitism in America.
