AMERICAN JEWS: KNOW YOUR ENEMIES IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES BY THEIR VOTES
For many Jews, it comes as a shock to find that those individuals, organizations, and causes you supported no longer support your right to existence and freedom -- and are openly willing to support our enemies who are trying to kill us.
One of the best methods of allowing us to discern the ideologies, priorities, and allegiances of our Congressional representatives is to examine their voting records.
I present for your consideration two House of Representatives resolutions that condemn the actions of terrorist sympathizers in academia, which appear to be generating street-level support for undeniable terrorism, and one condemning the actions of terrorism itself.
Look closely at those who oppose these resolutions or prefer to dodge the issue altogether by voting present or not voting at all.
Caveat: there may be legitimate reasons for not voting, such as illness or traveling, just as a positive vote does not serve as an indication of their true nature. As an example, Hakeem S. Jeffries (D-NY-08) is known to be anti-Semitic, yet he votes with the majority on H.R. 771, as does Jamaal Bowman (D-NY-16), Cori Bush (D-MO-01), André Carson (D-IN-07), and many others who are sublimating their true feelings in the name of political expediency.
However, by analyzing which bills representatives support or oppose over time and their participation in various groups and events, we can uncover hidden agendas and track the true nature of their ideologies.
In a bipartisan 396-23 vote (213 Republicans, 183 Democrats, 14 not voting), 22 Democrats and one Republican voted against a House Resolution (H.R. 798) to condemn anti-Semitism on college campuses. <Source>

H. RES. 798 Condemning the support of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations at institutions of higher education, which may lead to the creation of a hostile environment for Jewish students, faculty, and staff. RESOLUTION Condemning the support of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations at institutions of higher education, which may lead to the creation of a hostile environment for Jewish students, faculty, and staff. Whereas both Hamas and Hezbollah are recognized by the United States Department of State as Foreign Terrorist Organizations; Whereas, on October 7, 2023, Hamas launched a surprise attack to deliberately target Israeli civilians, including the killing and abduction of men, women, children, and the elderly; Whereas Hamas’ stated goal is the entire destruction of the State of Israel and the murder of its Jewish citizens; Whereas a disturbing number of student organizations at institutions of higher education placed blame solely upon the State of Israel for the attack and expressed support for the terrorist actions of Hamas through the glorification of violence and the usage of anti-Semitic rhetoric; Whereas many administrations of institutions of higher education do not follow the practice of institutional neutrality and frequently speak out on public issues, but have failed to speak out clearly after the October 7 attack by Hamas, and have exposed their lack of regard for their Jewish and pro-Israel students; Whereas the glorification of violence and usage of anti-Semitic rhetoric creates a hostile learning and working environment for Jewish students, faculty, and staff: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the House of Representatives— (1) condemns the support of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations at institutions of higher education, which may lead to the creation of a hostile environment for Jewish students, faculty, and staff; and (2) urges the Secretary of Education to direct the Office for Civil Rights to investigate and, where appropriate, take action immediately. <Source> |

What is their excuse for not voting, or are they covering up their anti-Semitism? …

Whereas, on October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists launched a massive, unprovoked war on Israel by air, land, and sea, including firing thousands of rockets; Whereas this heinous assault took place just after the 50th anniversary of the start of the multi-front 1973 Yom Kippur War against Israel; Whereas Hamas terrorists crossed the land border and began slaughtering Israelis and abducting hostages in towns in southern Israel, including children and the elderly; Whereas, since October 7, 2023, Hamas launched over 4,500 rockets into southern and central Israel; Whereas, since October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists have killed over 900 Israelis and injured more than 2,600 others; Whereas at least 11 United States citizens in Israel are among those killed by Hamas since October 7, 2023; Whereas, since October 7, 2023, Hamas is directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Palestinians; Whereas the expansion of this war to other fronts by Hezbollah, Iran, or others would create an even more devastating regional catastrophe; Whereas Hamas is a United States-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization; Whereas Iran has long provided support to Hamas and other terrorist groups and proxies, and prior United States Government unclassified assessments indicated that, “Iran has historically provided up to $100 million annually in combined support to Palestinian terrorist groups, including Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command”; Whereas Hamas used rudimentary, civilian equipment, such as bulldozers, paragliders, and rubber boats in its assault on Israel, demonstrating the importance of fully enforcing tight controls on what materials go into the Gaza Strip, including through thorough vetting of assistance; Whereas under the 2016 U.S.-Israel Memorandum of Understanding, the United States pledged to provide Israel $3.3 billion per year in Foreign Military Financing Program assistance and $500 million per year in missile defense for 10 years, which Congress has appropriated annually; Whereas section 1273 of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 authorized not less than $3.3 billion in Foreign Military Financing Program assistance for Israel for each of the fiscal years 2021 through 2028, in accordance with the 2016 U.S.-Israel Memorandum of Understanding; Whereas Congress has responded with additional appropriations beyond the terms of the 2016 U.S.-Israel Memorandum of Understanding as needed, including in March 2022 when Congress appropriated an additional $1 billion for Iron Dome defense system after the May 2021 conflict in which Hamas launched more than 4,400 rockets at Israel; and Whereas Israel is a major non-NATO ally and Major Strategic Partner of the United States: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the House of Representatives— (1) stands with Israel as it defends itself against the barbaric war launched by Hamas and other terrorists; (2) reaffirms Israel’s right to self-defense; (3) condemns Hamas’ brutal war against Israel; (4) calls on all countries to unequivocally condemn Hamas’ brutal war against Israel; (5) calls on Hamas to immediately cease these violent attacks and safely release all living hostages and return the bodies of deceased hostages; (6) mourns the over 900 Israelis and 11 Americans killed and over 2,600 others wounded in Hamas’ unprovoked attack on Israel; (7) reaffirms the United States commitment to Israel’s security, including through security assistance in accordance with the 2016 U.S.-Israel Memorandum of Understanding; (8) urges full enforcement of the Taylor Force Act (title X of division S of Public Law 115–141; 132 Stat. 1143) and other restrictions in United States law to prevent United States foreign assistance from benefiting terrorists, directly or indirectly; (9) condemns Iran’s support for terrorist groups and proxies, including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad; (10) urges full enforcement of United States sanctions against Iran to prevent Iran’s funding of terrorist groups, including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad; and (11) stands ready to assist Israel with emergency resupply and other security, diplomatic, and intelligence support. <Source> |

Bottom line...
I realize that most American voters do not have the time, energy, or resources to keep track of all of the votes and activities of their elected representatives and candidates for office.
And unfortunately, we can no longer rely on the mainstream media or formerly trusted institutions like the once-respected Anti-Defamation League to tell us the unvarnished truth. So, the best course of action is to concentrate on those local offices that have the most impact on your lives and where your vote and donations really count.
We can no longer count on the Democrat Party to represent Americans, especially Jewish Americans. It is a time for reflection and reconsideration of your support.
We are so screwed.
