The Corbynization of the Democrats

For John, BLUF:  I lifted this blog post title from a Commentary podcast.  The reference is to British Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

The Democrats and Anti-Semitism

Here is the sub-headline:

An inflection point in American political history.

From Commentary Magazine, by Editor John Podhoretz, 7 March 2019.

Here are the last three paragraphs:

People can play whataboutism games all they like, but not with me, people.  I’ve attacked Donald Trump over Charlottesville.  I’ve attacked Steve King for his racism.  Ilhan Omar is a despicable anti-Semite and rather than trying to find a way to separate themselves from her, the grandees of the Democratic Party are actually, or effectively, or implicitly embracing her.

This could be an inflection point in American political history—the moment at which the Democratic Party decided that it had to choose between Jews and intersectionality and chose the latter.

The question is what American Jews are going to do about it.

And what are Christians going to do about it?  And others who have mouthed "never again"?.

This isn't about Democratic Socialism, except to the extent Socialism is fundamentally a divisional political philosophy, rather tan a unifying approach to politics.  This is about the age old scourge of antisemitism.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
