As is always the case with appeasement, retreat did not earn him any good will. Sen. Bernie Sanders and others ramped up their demand for a halt to a weapons sale to Israel Biden had approved, and Tlaib and others continued their criticism of him and the Jewish nation. Much of it was simply unhinged. Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington effectively defended Hamas starting the war with a rocket barrage of civilian populations, telling CNN that Israel provoked the attack. Her defense of the indefensible reveals similarities between Trump Derangement Syndrome and Jew hatred. There’s no known cure or vaccine for either. While far-left groups long attracted an anti-Semitic fringe, it’s now difficult to detect much difference between the groups and the fringe. One development is the effort to tailor grievances in hopes of uniting different causes against Israel.
