AIPAC is right to distrust the Democrats

The Democrat party was historically thought to be “the guardian of the bipartisan pro-Israel consensus.” Not any more. The change is both obvious and subtle, and it risks igniting into a lethal partisan weapon and into effective political ethnocide.

The DNC is an entirely new, radicalized political party, increasingly unapologetic about the toxic mix of liberation theology and fundamentalist ideology that make up its growing institutional culture.

It has further transformed itself in part through its border invasion strategy, and the saturation of urban population centers with illegals making up its new reinforcement army of adherents, who are not here for opportunity, but for sympathetic incitement and political organization.

If you live in or near a major US city like New York, Chicago, or LA, you may notice a profound if subtle adjustment in their racial and cultural makeup. This shift in “constituents” is almost entirely aligned not just with the Democrat party that recruited them with a massive social giveaway program, but ironically makes up a mass psychological force of active and dormant anti-Americanism. It is increasingly fueled with vague antisemitism as a cause for general retribution against its grievances.

This fundamentalist-liberal political ideology is more pronounced today, but it builds on a sentiment that appeared suddenly over two decades ago.

Readers may recall that immediately after the September 11, 2001 tragedy, the political Left actually blamed the US: we “deserved it,” they said. It was “inevitable.” The attacks were “justified” due to American imperialism, white supremacy, and ethnoreligious exclusion. And in modern-day London or Paris, the story is the same. Much of this sentiment is fomented and propagated by the academic and entertainment arms of the Party, supporting “glory to the martyrs,” and “death to Israel.”

The hangover of hatred and anti-Americanism from the Obama administration plays a significant role: it has poisoned minorities and otherwise moderate liberals in ways that most may not fully understand. Illegals either already arrive with hatred or can be easily converted by confusing it with claims of entitlement, reparation rights, or mere political solidarity.

Moreover, when the Left shouts “white supremacy,” they tacitly include Israelis or Jews as a white race, as a white culture, and with white preferences. This is extended to include religion, and Judeo-Christian values are held in contempt. Democrats have made their party into a pseudo-religious sect by infusing it with a subtly altered and appropriated Islamist creed.

AIPAC is not well understood, and suffers in part from simplistic characterizations and opportunistic exploitation of its interests. Academics like University of Chicago political science professor John Mearsheimer, who co-authored “The Israel Lobby,” are treated by the Left as heroes thought to have uncovered an earth-shattering source of secret influence. In reality, AIPAC is one of hundreds of organizations that advance their interests, as do nearly all countries, along with every business sector including oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, airlines, labor, banks, steel, education, autos, technology, religious groups, and every imaginable special interest.

It is important, however, to face the reality of who the political Left’s new voices are, what they believe (the imperative to create a radicalized “whole thriving ecosystem”), and how this is influencing behavior and Party membership.

Democrats can easily unwind decades of US-IL cooperation, simply by prioritizing different goals, and idling others, but it can also materialize with sudden violence. DNC ideology is quietly anchored in “destructionism,” a determination to tear down an entire culture. The Bolshevik party is their role model of revolutionary social democracy.

If AIPAC is caught unawares by an antiquated belief in Democrat sympathy of interests, it could wind up witnessing a slow-burning US domestic “policide,” effective political genocide against its targets of blame and hate, and be caught up in the Party's new longing for institutionalized revenge and retribution.

Hate, envy, and violence have a way of slowly but cunningly working their way through what appear otherwise normal institutions, growing and mutating, and becoming institutionally embedded in them, such that independent thought is surrendered to collective action. As history, both modern and ancient, testifies, it can suddenly expand like a wildfire that consumes entire cultures, when no one believed it was possible.
