The Hypocrisy Caucus: Anti-Israel Democrats Have Audacity to Celebrate Chanukah and Denounce Antisemitism

After two solid months of watching Democratic leaders accuse Israel of war crimes, genocide and other miscellaneous abuses of human rights, watching them gleefully celebrate Chanukah is a bit too much.

The story of Chanukah is the story of the Jewish people reclaiming Israel from actual oppressive occupiers.

'The Chanukah lights remind us of the great miracle that a small band of Jews defeated the mighty Greek armies.' - Chabad.org

So, basically the exact opposite of what Democrats and the left have been demanding for months.

Happy first night of #Hanukkah to our Jewish siblings in the #MA7 & across the world.

The celebration carries extra meaning for so many this year, and I wish everyone light, joy, and peace this holiday season.

As many light the first candle on the menorah, I'm sending our Jewish neighbors in St. Louis and beyond love and light.

Happy Hanukkah! Always remember, your Congresswoman loves you.

Tonight, I wish all who celebrate the festival of lights a very happy Hanukkah!

In this dark time, we must stand with the Jewish community and against antisemitism and hate in all forms. Let’s continue to fight back as we strive for peace, security, and justice for all. pic.twitter.com/Ro5W2viKoV

Ooof.

Ladies.

Really, now.

Which staff member had to write that for you?

She has to know the meaning of this Holiday, doesn’t she? https://t.co/AYR4MStQgt

Yesterday: From the river to the Sea!
Today: Happy Chanukah!
8 days from now: Jews should not exist!

It is a lack of self-awareness or are they really this obnoxiously arrogant?

Maybe they think Chanukah is just Jewish Christmas?

You’re really gross.

Remember when you said we need a “balanced approach” to the r*ape and sexual violence against Jewish women? Spare us your virtue signaling tweets! https://t.co/MYP4E3A4aR

Pretty sure I speak for the majority of those who celebrate Chanukah when I tell you to shove it.https://t.co/fBPH3zD7Ok https://t.co/NXSqfheFsA

Worst of them all.

Hanukkah is a celebration of the Jews defeating a racist enemy that wanted them dead because they were Jews, smashing them to bits. I'm glad you're celebrating this very appropriate and timely holiday.

from the river to the sea,
hey intern, tweet this out for me https://t.co/EJdwui5iLv

I can't imagine a more dishonest tweet than this.

Does she even know what the story of Hanukkah is? https://t.co/ixYzTHWjsy

This is parody......Right? https://t.co/qVF96gGWug

Her "AsAJew" friends probably told her the entire story of Hanukkah was that a candle burned for a crazy long time. https://t.co/5oZoIugY3R

This holiday celebrates Jewish independence, pride and sovereignty in our own land, as well as our consistent refusal to bend the knee to heathens. Take your universalist jibber jabber elsewhere, you’re no friend of ours. https://t.co/KJTQ3zYWoL

At Least Dem Rep. Ilhan Omar has some integrity to her beliefs and didn't pretend for PR reasons.

Sorry, guys. You don't get to enable, cheer on and apologize for Israel's greatest enemy and then sing Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel and not be called out for it.

Happy Chanukah.
