In recent years the American Jewish community’s best funded organization dedicated to fighting anti-Semitism received significant criticism for its unwillingness to seriously confront anti-Semitism emanating from the political left and its exaggeration of the threat that far right anti-Semitism poses to Jewish life in America. As a progressive, wealthy native of northern California, Harris has little ability to mobilize supporters in places like Detroit or Pittsburgh. The slavish devotion that both Biden and Harris have demonstrated to their party’s grassroots is a dangerous omen for Jewish Americans because the organizations that comprise a large part of those grassroots are openly anti-Semitic. And Glick also lied about Harris and AIPAC. The fact that you so tirelessly defend them points to serious character flaws and emotional issues. Harris doesn’t support the BDS movement but she opposed a Senate bill that would have harmed the campaign to boycott the Jewish state and discriminate against American Jews. The fact that Omar’s unbridled anti-Semitism was putting American Jews at risk apparently made no impression on Harris.

In 2018, as the midterm election raised the profiles of radical Israel-hating candidates, Harris only agreed to speak at the AIPAC conference on the condition that her remarks not be made public.Along with all the other Democrat presidential hopefuls last year save for Mike Bloomberg, Harris refused to speak at the AIPAC conference on any terms.Not only has Harris refused to condemn Reps. Omar and Tlaib for their repeated anti-Semitic statements. Two years ago, four female radicals with harshly anti-Israel positions were elected as first-time lawmakers.

Last Tuesday, two notable events occurred in the Democratic Party. Now that his party supports unlimited abortion on demand, Biden does too. But as the Democrat Party openly adopted an increasingly anti-Israel position over the intervening years, Harris reduced her support. As California’s Attorney General from 2011-2017, Harris received numerous requests to take action against California’s public universities for having allowed their campuses to become hostile environments for Jewish students. John Lewis opposed it as an infringement on the right to boycott. Harris was considered the most “pro-Israel” candidate among the women Biden was considering selecting as his running mate. Recognizing this, Biden chose Harris not because of the votes she can bring, but for the support she can garner from the Democratic base. To be sure, Biden himself doesn’t sanctify identity politics.
