Former US Ambassador to Israel: “Jew-hatred has become a powerful political movement”

“We need to face the truth: Jew hatred has become a powerful political movement in the United States. This is not about Democrats or Republicans. It is a non-partisan phenomenon that candidates devoid of principles use for their own purposes,” he said.

“As long as it helps win elections, there will be no end to it. We must work hard to ensure that 2026 remains an anomaly and not the norm. I believe in the goodness of America and its citizens. The silent majority no longer has the right to be silent!” – Friedman wrote.

Several well-known opponents of Israel, representatives of the “progressive” Democratic camp, won in the midterm elections in the United States. Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez retained their seats in the House of Representatives.

At least seven new opponents of Israel have emerged in the lower house. They are Darialisa Chevalier, Brad Lander and Claire Valdez representing New York, Adam Hamawi from New Jersey, Chris Rabb (Pennsylvania), Donavan McKinney (Michigan), Melat Quiros (Colorado).

Michigan will be represented in the Senate by Abdul al-Said, who accused Israel of genocide against the Palestinians. During the Democratic primaries, he claimed that his rival was backed by “Israeli money,” repeating an old anti-Semitic stereotype.
