Democratic Party’s youth wing backs motion decrying Israel’s ‘ongoing genocide in Gaza’
2025-07-23
The Corbynization of the Democratic Party is just about complete.
[IsraelTimes] Young Democrats of America also okay amendment supporting student demonstrations ‘against US complicity’ in Israel’s war with Hamas

The Young Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
of America, the youth wing of the Democratic Party, has passed an amendment to its foreign policy plank opposing the "Israeli government’s ongoing genocide in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
The amendment, which passed narrowly at the organization’s convention in Philadelphia last week, also expresses opposition to the Israeli government’s "occupation of the West Bank, and its denial of civil and political rights on an equal basis in the territories it militarily occupies," according to an updated foreign policy plank reviewed by Jewish Insider.

The changes to the organization’s foreign policy stances underscore a sharp decline in the perception of Israel across the Democratic Party as Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza wages on after more than 21 months since the Hamas

-led October 7, 2023, attack that started the conflict.

Last month, a poll released by Quinnipiac University found that among Democrats, 12% said that their sympathies lay more with Israelis, while 60% sympathized more with Paleostinians. In February, a Gallup poll found that just 33% of Democrats have a favorable view of Israel overall

The Young Democrats of America added the word "genocide" to an existing amendment which outlined its policy stances for the years 2023 to 2025. It was proposed to "reflect current events and align with present-day actions," according to a platform committee document from the convention obtained by Jewish Insider.

Using the term "genocide" to describe Israel’s ongoing offensive in Gaza has become a lightning rod for discussions surrounding the war. Israel and its supporters vehemently deny the characterization, but as the corpse count mounts in Gaza and killings at aid distribution sites have been reported on a near-daily basis, some of Israel’s supporters are beginning to use the term, as are a number of scholars of genocide.

At the biennial convention last week, YDA also approved a resolution that voiced support for student protests "against US complicity" in what it called the "Israeli government’s genocidal actions in Gaza," according to a document shared with Jewish Insider.

Last year, some Jewish caucus members criticized the group’s denunciation of former US president Joe The Big Guy Biden

after he gave an address condemning violence at pro-Paleostinian campus protests.

But despite the organization’s condemnation of Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza, some efforts to amend YDA’s Middle East policy plank failed to pass, including an effort to strike a line that endorsed Israel’s "right to exist as a Jewish democratic state," according to Jewish Insider.

Some delegates also proposed removing language that condemned "the oppression of the Iranian government" and backing "anti-regime protests," which was met by alarm by Jewish members following Israel’s ceasefire with Iran, according to Jewish Insider.

While those proposals failed to pass, one member of YDA’s Jewish caucus told Jewish Insider that the fact they were suggested "presents a scary reality."

#3  Here again, Democrats are using words like genocide incorrectly with the intention to deceive. It would be generous to call this misuse of words hyperbole or exaggeration but I believe it's actually a form of lying.

Israel is merely finishing a war that Hamas started. Hamas could easily end the war by disarming and surrendering unconditionally. But they are mad men who are willing to become martyrs and they don't care if their own families, women and children, are subject to collateral damage and the type of living conditions that come with losing a war that they never should have started in the first place.

This is exactly the same tactic Democrats use when they incorrectly use the word immigrant instead of illegal alien. They could say "illegal immigrant" but they always avoid that distinction. They want people to believe that their so-called immigrants did not enter our country illegally.

The intent is to deceive because Democrats would never get any votes if people understood what they really want.
