Dershowitz on Ilhan Omar: ‘The Democratic Party Is Not Anti-Semitic But They’re Tolerating Anti-Semitism’

RUSH EXCERPT:

DERSHOWITZ: "Well, the Democratic Party is not anti-semitic. But they are tolerating anti-semitism on the hard left part of their base because they don’t want to alienate that part of their base and so you get Keith Ellison gets elected deputy chairman of the Democratic National Party. He had close associations with Farrakhan and falsely denied them. Bill Clinton, Ohio like very much, who is a friend, goes to a memorial service, sees Farrakhan there and doesn’t leave. Imagine if he had seen David Duke he would get up in a minute and leave many members of the black caucus have had associations with and now we have this newly elected member of Congress. Look, I support of I think it’s a great thing to have Muslim and Muslim women in Congress, but this woman has gone over the line to anti-semitism. She talked about Israel hypnotizing the world, I mean, that’s kind of an old anti-semitic trope. So my concern is not that the Democrats are becoming anti-semitic. It’s that they are unwilling to attack anti-semites on the extreme left of their base because they don’t want to lose votes. Pete: You think it’s — you are acknowledging there is tolerance of intolerance and it’s ultimately a political but, yet, it used to be support for Israel was very bipartisan in Washington. Are you saying Israel is becoming effectively a partisan issue?"
