Democratic National Committee Chairwoman, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, is now stating that the current Syrian refugee crisis is similar to the plight of the “European Jews of 1939.”
According to the Weekly Standard (H/T for great story headline), Wasserman Schultz ripped into Republicans for politicizing the Paris attacks, and for coming off as anti-Islam.While this kind of divisive rhetoric is expected of Wasserman Schultz, it is very rare to hear her state that former President George W. Bush was “right” about anything.
“After 9/11, President Bush had enough nuance to unequivocally say that the U.S. was not at war with Islam, but with violent extremism. He was right; and we are still at war with a violent ideology and actions that threaten our homeland and our allies.-Shark Tank
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
Wow! Does ‘DWS’ love ‘W’ now? Nope.
Remember when Wasserman Schultz said this?”
Unfortunately what happens particularly with the global war on terror and the Islamic fundamentalists that are combating and leading it, we (Jews) are the crux of the reason that they are engaged in that fight.-Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D)
Wait, there is still a “global war on terror” going on?
I though President Obama told us all back in 2013 that the “Global War on Terror” was over?
Here is some of the remarks that Wasserman Schultz made”
“For some, their version of Middle East foreign policy is pandering to our community about supporting Israel, without fully grasping the deep values and history that drive our relationship. But – if you can believe it – this new crowd is even worse than President Bush.“After 9/11, President Bush had enough nuance to unequivocally say that the U.S. was not at war with Islam, but with violent extremism. He was right; and we are still at war with a violent ideology and actions that threaten our homeland and our allies. We saw this most recently on a large scale with the attacks of Paris.
“However, the Republican candidates’ first instinct was to politicize this tragedy, rather than focusing on strategies to combat its perpetrators. …
“The sort of rhetoric we saw from candidates, whether it was Donald Trump calling for a database of Muslim-Americans, or Marco Rubio saying we need to shut down ‘not only mosques’ but ‘cafes and diners,’ where Muslims congregate in response to terror, was shameful, embarrassing, and dangerous.
“By demonizing an entire religion, it makes it more difficult for the U.S. to prosecute the war on terrorand keep our homeland safe. It also stands in stark contrast to American and Jewish values.
