Raskin’s Flip-Flop on Israel: Another Dem Joins the ‘Block the Bombs’ Brigade

The Democratic Party's love affair with Israel is starting to look like a bad rom-com heading for a predictable breakup. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), the guy who has never met a progressive talking point he didn't want to hug, or more, has thrown his weight behind the so-called "Block the Bombs Act." 

Raskin, a Jewish Democrat, [aka JINO] is now cheering for a bill that would slam the brakes on sending offensive weapons to Israel. Because nothing says "supporting our allies" like leaving them high and dry in a war zone after they've been mercilessly attacked and slaughtered for no other reason than being Jewish.

Raskin is not alone in this head-scratcher. He's joined by other Jewish Democrat scumwafers like Rep. Sara Jacobs (CA), Rep. Becca Balint (VT), and Rep. Jan Schakowsky (IL), all piling onto a bill that now has 34 sponsors. Apparently, the memo went out, and the progressive wing of the party RSVP'd with a resounding, "Let’s stick it to Israel like the Hamassholes stuck it to them on Oct. 7th." 

This comes on the heels of Senate Democrats' record-breaking support for two resolutions last month to block U.S. military sales to Israel. Spoiler alert: they flopped in the Republican-led Senate. Any Jew or decent Christian who still votes for this garbage Party is either ignorant, self-destructive or stupid.

Now, let's rewind the tape on Raskin's track record, because this guy has been practicing for the anti-Israel audition for a while. "In November 2023, just one month into the war in Gaza, Raskin was one of the first Jewish Democratic House lawmakers to call for a ceasefire."

That is while Hamas was still lobbing rockets at the, you know, Jooze, Raskin was ready to wave the white flag. Fast forward to May 2024, and he teamed up with Jacobs to vote against emergency aid to Israel. Because, you know, priorities. And just for good measure, last December, he signed a letter with 76 other House Dems accusing Israel of violating U.S. arms sales law.

Look, I get it; politics is a game of optics, and Raskin is playing to the Squad's cheering section. But when you're a Jewish lawmaker jumping on the "Block the Bombs" bandwagon while Gaza has been a war zone for 22 months, you're not just signaling a policy shift; you're sending a flare to every anti-Israel activist that the Democratic Party's backbone is turning to Jell-O. This isn't about nuance or "tough love" for an ally, it's a slow-motion betrayal dressed up as principle. 

And what the Democrats accuse conservatives of, that is exactly what they are: deplorable.

And if you want to Buy Me A Coffee, I wouldn't stop you--it supports my work and I really appreciate it. But no pressure.
