In an unfortunate turn of events, a wave of anti-Semitic hate crimes has begun in the United States. Amid the international conflict between Israel and Palestine, Jewish people here in America are facing attacks merely because of their faith.

The Democrat Party and its followers have only egged things on and fueled tensions. House Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and others irresponsibly denounced Israel --- an international U.S. ally --- as a so-called "apartheid state."

Meanwhile, other leftists have openly declared their support for Palestine. As anti-Semitic hate crimes materialize, much of the Democrat Party remains silent.

However, the Republican Party is not going to just stand idly by while anti-Semitism runs amuck. This is why GOP congressmembers like House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Tennessee Rep. David Kustoff introduced a bill to stop anti-Semitic hate crimes in America.

A closer review of the Preventing Anti-Semitic Hate Crimes Act

In a statement, Leader McCarthy condemned Democrats like Reps. Ocasio-Cortez, Bush, and Tlaib for deeming Israel as an "apartheid state"; the House Minority Leader explained that within days of such inflammatory accusations, U.S. mobs in support of Hamas began attacking Jewish Americans.

In the Preventing Anti-Semitic Hate Crimes Act, the U.S. attorney general would have to probe hate crimes fueled by anti-Semitism; then come the requirements of axing the relatively low one-decade maximum for hate crimes and putting out official guidance to create a greater alert of anti-Semitic hate crimes.

Senate Republicans are working with their House counterparts to present a proper version of the Preventing Anti-Semitic Hate Crimes Act in their chambers as well.

Why Democrats largely oppose Israel

Days ago, President Biden made a somewhat lukewarm condemnation of anti-Semitism; however, in Biden remarks, he failed to acknowledge that members of his own party keep fueling attacks against Jewish Americans.

Despite Israel's status as an American ally, Democrats have swarmed to support Palestine and condemn Israel.

Apparently, leftists take issue with Israel's standing as a right-leaning nation; however, Democrats are also failing to consider the ramifications of their rhetoric. These ramifications include not just the rise of anti-Semitic attacks in America, but also the poor optics of demonizing an international ally.
