Jayapal et al claim Israeli Jews are racist, walks it back with hair-brained excuse

Far-left Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) made comments along with her panel pals Saturday, in which she said that "Israel is a racist state." If it wasn't a racist state then why do they defend themselves when Hamassholes and their anti-Zionist allies in Gaza fire rockets at them? 

Knowing that American Jews might not vote for her fellow Democrats, those in the House condemned her statement, but many had their fingers crossed behind their backs.

The congresswoman made the comment during a panel with other anti-Semites Reps. Jan Shakowsky (D-IL) and Chuy Garcia (D-AZ) when anti-Israel, anti-Semitic demonstrators chanted that phrase at them. 

“I want you to know that we have been fighting to make it clear that Israel is a racist state, that the Palestinian people deserve self-determination and autonomy,” Jayapal said.

Fun Facts: 

Israel has a large number of Muslims in their population and in their government. Gaza has no Jews still alive in their territory and zero Jews in their government. 

Israel medically treats injured Palestinians, even those who attack Israeli citizens; Hamas and the Palestinian Authority does not. In fact, they celebrate the killing of Jews and hand out candy on the streets of Gaza, even when Israeli women and children are slaughtered.

Israel avoids returning fire across the border if it originates at a school or mosque, as it often does [Hamas knows Israel does all it can to minimize collateral damage], Palestine fires "dumb" rockets into civilian areas with no regard of what is being targeted.

Jayapal's comments drew a smattering of applause and mindless cheers from anti-Zionists in the audience but soon led to a rebuke from fellow Democrats who were hoping to score the Jewish-American vote.

“Israel is not a racist state,” a letter from the House Democratic leadership read without explicitly naming the execrable Jayapal. “America and Israel have a uniquely special relationship anchored in our shared democratic values and strategic interests. As House Democratic leaders, we strongly support Israel’s right to exist as a homeland for the Jewish people.”

Well thank you for allowing Israel to exist, Democrats. It's very kind of you.

Jayapal released a lying statement Sunday afternoon attempting to walk back her comments, saying, “I attempted to defuse a tense situation during a panel where fellow members of Congress were being protested. Words do matter and so it is important that I clarify my statement. I do not believe the idea of Israel as a nation is racist.”

So she makes a racist statement then says she was just kidding because she wanted to defuse a racist situation. She has the brains of elevator flatulence.

Let's see what Biden says about Jayapal's anti-Semitic remark, and maybe throw in a little bit of Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib's  past anti-Israel/anti-Semitic comments too.

The Señor Wences-looking Jayapal, who leads the House Progressive Caucus, then took aim at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying his “extreme right-wing government has engaged in discriminatory and outright racist policies.”

A separate letter from a group of Jewish Democrats, which was making the rounds gathering signatures, expresses “deep concern” over Jayapal’s “unacceptable” remarks. “We will never allow anti-Zionist voices that embolden antisemitism to hijack the Democratic Party and country,” the letter says, according to the Comedy News Network.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Monday called upon House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to address Jayapal’s and other Democrats’ anti-Israel comments.

“This isn’t the first person in the Democratic conference that has continued to make anti-Semitic comments,” McCarthy said, referring to Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) 2021 comparison of Israel with the Taliban and other disgusting statements. “I think this is a role for the leader, Hakeem, to prove that no, they’re not anti-Semitic.”

Jayapal’s comments come ahead of Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s address to a joint session of Congress later this week, commemorating the Jewish State’s 75th Anniversary.

Democratic leadership has been receptive to Herzog’s visit. “I look forward to welcoming him with open arms,” Jeffries said at a news conference last week, calling Herzog “a force for good in Israeli society.”

But socialists, including Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Dummy-NY), Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), and Cori Bush (D-MO), have all said they will not attend Herzog’s speech in protest to Jews everywhere. 

 Jayapal is probably going to forgo the speech too, as she is worried that the squad might ignore her in the future.
