A Democratic member of the House Armed Services Committee compared Jewish Israeli settlers to termites on Monday while speaking at an event sponsored by an anti-Israel organization that supports boycotts of the Jewish state.
Rep. Hank Johnson (D., Ga.) launched into a tirade against Israel and its policies toward the Palestinians, comparing Jewish people who live in disputed territories to "termites" that destroy homes. Johnson also compared Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, a remark that drew vocal agreement from those in the room.
"There has been a steady [stream], almost like termites can get into a residence and eat before you know that you’ve been eaten up and you fall in on yourself, there has been settlement activity that has marched forward with impunity and at an ever increasing rate to the point where it has become alarming," Johnson said during an event sponsored by the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, an anti-Israel organization that galvanizes supporters of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, or BDS.
The anti-semitism of the left has is becoming far less "hidden" and far more vocal every year. The Democratic party continues to embrace racism and bigotry, while making others targets and blaming them for their problems. This, combined with their ever-increasing support for socialism, makes it hard to ignore the similarities with the National Socialists from the 1930s we know so well. These policies, and their embrace of violent mobs as "enforcers" is amazingly similar to the Sturmabteilung (Brown Shirts) of the early Nazis.

The left has become more open about their overt anti-Semitic beliefs. The dem party has a long tradition of racism, so these beliefs are not surprising at all. A hundred years from now, they will blame it all on the republicans and claim that they were never anti-Semitic!
Perhaps a US "Krystal Nachen" is in the near future, perpetrated by the left's shock troops- ANTIFA.
If the left is becoming "more racist", then at least there is some common ground between the parties.
