Dan Goldman, face backlash from pro-Palestine factions, and suggested that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/historic-significance-of-georgia-senate-contests\/\" title=\"Historic Significance of Georgia Senate Contests\">left-wing rhetoric<\/a>, including accusations of genocide against Israel, is used to garner political support and win elections. Concha also noted that younger voters are increasingly attracted to socialism due to promises of free benefits and victimhood narratives, which they believe can improve their lives. He expressed concern that the Democratic Party is shifting away from traditional allies like Israel, pointing to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >past controversies involving figures<\/a> with Nazi tattoos and comparing the current party&#8217;s direction to a potential decline of American cities under socialism&#8217;s influence. Concha argued that establishment Democrats are losing ground as socialist-leaning groups become more organized and energized.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Washington Examiner <\/em>columnist <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/author\/joe-concha\/\">Joe Concha<\/a> criticized socialists for taking over establishment <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/democrats\/\">Democrats<\/a> and encouraging anti-Israel <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/rhetoric\/\">rhetoric<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBash Israel, even go so far as to say it shouldn\u2019t exist, and that gets you power, it gets you clicks and likes on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ga-poll-watcher-it-expert-non-trump-supporter-affidavit-sudden-surge-of-20000-mail-in-votes-for-biden-in-early-hours-on-nov\/\" title=\"GA Poll Watcher, IT Expert, Non-Trump Supporter Affidavit: Sudden Surge of 20,000 Mail-In-Votes For Biden In Early Hours On Nov\">social media<\/a>,\u201d Concha said on Fox News\u2019s <em>Fox &#038; Friends First <\/em>Tuesday. <\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4620240\/ransom-note-about-nancy-guthries-disappearance-claimed-she-died\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Ransom note about Nancy Guthrie\u2019s disappearance claimed she died<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4620225\/trump-tells-pritzker-he-can-help-with-chicago-crime\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Trump tells Pritzker he can help with Chicago crime after 39 injured, six dead in violent Juneteenth weekend<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4618342\/alan-greenspan-dead-age-100\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Alan Greenspan dies at age 100<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Concha highlighted the backlash Rep. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/dan-goldman\/\">Dan Goldman<\/a> (D-NY) received over his pro-Israel views, which led to him being banned from a New York coffee shop.
