74 Democrats sign letter calling for Israel to make suicidal concessions
The 'pro-Israel, pro-peace' Soros-backed J Street has recruited 74 Democratic Congresscritters for whom Israel's security is a small sacrifice to make for President Obama's reelection. Joel Pollak reports:The group's latest effort is the so-called "Cohen-Yarmuth-Connolly Letter," which calls on the Obama administration to keep pushing Israel towards accepting a two-state solution--as if Israel's acceptance of, and enthusiasm for, that solution were ever in doubt. This week, a Palestinian official called for the rival Hamas and Fatah factions to unite to destroy Israel; Hillary Clinton's response has been to give them more money.Priorities, man, priorities!
J Street's Cohen-Yarmuth Connolly letter also sets up a straw man, attacking "those calling for a 'one-state solution' under which Jews would soon become a minority in their own historic homeland." Not only is that prediction based on faulty demographic data, but it also fails to identify a single one of "those" who are campaigning for a "one-state solution" (hint: they're not pro-Israel).
Rep. Allen West caused controversy this week when he suggested that 80 members of the Democratic caucus were communists. He may only have been slightly off, both in ideology and in numbers. There are clearly close to 80 Democrats who are prepared to sacrifice the security--and, potentially, the existence--of the state of Israel for the sake of Obama's re-election campaign.

Close enough. The "Democratic" Socialists of America, aka the Socialist Party of America, officially listed 70 Democrat Members of Congress who are also formal, official members of the Socialist Party of America. There's a list of these members at my above-linked article. A lot of very well-known names are listed. Eleven of these sit on the House Judiciary Committee.
What's the difference between a Communist and a Socialist? Not much, by the Party's own statement, "Where We Stand".
