The hypocrisy is rich, folks. After watching Democrats throw Israel under the bus for four years during the Biden regime, four Manhattan liberals are now falling over themselves to prove who loves Jewish people more in a special House election on the Upper West Side.
The desperate pandering is almost comical. Micah Lasher name-drops his synagogue attendance like it's a campaign credential. Jami Floyd virtue signals about her Holocaust survivor father-in-law. Alex Bores' mother is bragging about his "nice Jewish girl" wife. And Mathew Shurka is marketing his volunteer work in Israel like he's running for the Knesset.
Here's what these candidates won't tell you: they're all running as Democrats in a party that has become increasingly hostile to Israel under Biden's disastrous foreign policy. While President Trump moved our embassy to Jerusalem and brokered historic peace deals through the Abraham Accords, Democrats spent four years appeasing Iran and pressuring Israel to make dangerous concessions.
Where Were They When It Mattered?
Where were these supposed Israel supporters when Squad members like AOC and Rashida Tlaib were spreading anti-Semitic propaganda? Where were they when Biden was sending billions to Iran, the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism?
The truth is, these candidates are part of a party that has been captured by radical anti-Israel voices. No matter how many synagogues they attend or Holocaust survivors they know, they'll be voting with Nancy Pelosi's crowd when it comes to undermining our strongest democratic ally in the Middle East.
Meanwhile, President Trump has already signaled his administration will restore America's unwavering support for Israel after four years of Biden's weakness. The contrast couldn't be clearer.
"You can't claim to support Israel while caucusing with people who want to see it destroyed,"one conservative activist told this reporter.
Upper West Side voters deserve better than this transparent election-year conversion. Real support for Israel means backing leaders who won't fold under pressure from the radical left – something none of these Democrats can guarantee.
