If you don’t denounce the flying of the Palestinian flag and BDS signs at the DNC IMO you are an anti Semite and anti Israel. Yes.
Really? So anyone who didn't denounce both of those things is anti semitic?
Did Trump denounce both of those things?
Trump didn’t have that flag at his convention.
HRC didn't have that flag at the DNC. Some one else did.
It was her convention. There were a ton of anti Israel signs. Not ONE pro Israel one.
Telling.
Palestinian flags were prominently displayed by activists at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Monday, amid an apparent lack of American flags, according to numerous media and social media postings.
Eye-witness accounts and press coverage of the first day of the DNC pointed out the limited presence of Old Glory.
Conservative bloggers, meanwhile, highlighted additional flag issues during the DNC, such as the party’s capitulation to protesters demanding the removal of the Mississippi state flag, which depicts the Confederate standard. In a video capturing its removal, demonstrators are heard chanting and cheering.
The presence of the Palestinian flag at the DNC comes at a fragile time for pro-Israel Democrats, following major efforts — led by Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who competed against and lost to Hillary Clinton in the Democratic presidential primary — to take a “toughened” stance on Israel.
For their part, the Democrats wrote their language influenced by one of their own billionaires, Haim Saban (a strong BDS opponent, who secured a written anti-BDS pledge from Hillary Clinton), and haunted by their mistaken fear of “losing votes” (their code, not mine, for Jewish voters).
The Democrats’ platform claims to want two states and supports ‘independence, sovereignty, and dignity’ for Palestinians. This aspiration is commendable, but when they reject terming Israeli control over Palestinians an occupation and refuse to call for an end to settlements, they give little hope to Palestinians that action will be taken to fulfill their aspirations.
