CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY DECEMBER 7, 2023
YOU MIGHT THINK THAT GETTING A VOTE IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ON A RESOLUTION CONDEMNING ANTI-SEMITISM MIGHT BE A NO BRAINER, SOMETHING LIKE PASSING A RESOLUTION PRAISING MOTHERHOOD AND APPLE PIE. NOT SO WITH DEMOCRATS.
100 DEMOCRATS EITHER VOTED AGAINST THE RESOLUTION OR VOTED “PRESENT” SO THEY WOULDN’T HAVE TO GO ON RECORD.
THEY PROBABLY DIDN’T WAN’T TO OFFEND THE SQUAD, THAT GROUP OF HARD-CORE LEFTIES WHO HAVE LABELED ISRAEL’S ATTEMPT TO ELIMINATE HAMAS “GENOCIDE.” THE ATTACK BY HAMAS ON OCT 7 THAT KILLED MORE THAN ONE THOUSAND ISRAELIS; THE MORE THAN 100 HOSTAGES, INCLUDING SEVERAL AMERICANS STILL HELD BY HAMAS AND THEIR THREATS TO DO AWAY WITH ISRAEL …NONE OF THIS MATTERED TO THE DEMOCRATS WHO REFUSED TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE RESOLUTION.
ON TUESDAY, THE PRESIDENTS OF HARVARD AND OTHER MAJOR UNIVERSITIES WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN ANTI-ISRAEL, ANTI-SEMETIC AND PRO-PALESTINIAN DEMONSTRATIONS WERE CALLED BEFORE A HOUSE COMMITTEE AND REFUSED TO CONDEMN THEM.
THIS IS DISGRACEFUL, IF ANYTHING CAN BE SAID TO BE A DISGRACE IN OUR DAY WHICH TOLERATES JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING. I’M CAL THOMAS.
