if Jews weren't a prolific constituency of the Democratic Party. Probably they don't realize there'd be even fewer house seats for Dems and Senators, Govs, etc. too.

Maybe the anti-Israel left should go join the British Labour Party.

I wonder how some of these types would feel if say, Steve Israel, a Dem rep. for 16 years, and is now retiring (prob due to the far-left wanting to oust him) is replaced by Jack Martins as punishment for the anti-Israel sentiment and Islamism-splaining that clearly has erupted in the party?

An offer so awfully bad that Arafat wished he had accepted it.... shira May 2016 #13

well if the Israeli offer was in earnest why didn't take Arafat up on this? azurnoir May 2016 #15

Make up your mind first. Was the offer shit or not shit? n/t shira May 2016 #17
