In January of this year, California State Senator Scott Wiener posted a social media video stating he believes Israel has committed “genocide” in Gaza:
For years, I’ve condemned Netanyahu and his extremist government and the devastation they’ve inflicted on Gaza. It’s why I’ve been clear I won’t support U.S. funding for the destruction of Palestinian communities. I’ve stopped short of calling it genocide, but I can’t anymore. pic.twitter.com/71nIt6K527

This understandably upset many Jews, and the resulting controversy led to Wiener stepping down as co-chair of the California Legislative Jewish Caucus the following month.
But at least he gained the respect of the Israel-hating crowd.
Right?
Appeasement with the Palestine lunatics doesn’t work.

US Congressional candidate Scott Wiener is Jewish but has been predominantly “pro-Palestine” and uses a lot of their idiotic and false rhetoric regularly.
They still ate him alive.
They’ll never accept you.…
Ok, but at least those in the LGBTQ+ and trans communities for whom he has been a tireless advocate.
Right?
See the look on the Wiener guy's face? That's the realization that his Frankenstein ain't going back in the grave.

So why the hostility? Wiener believes in Israel’s right to exist and he is also Jewish, so I am guessing one or both of these facts rub these people the wrong way. Yet they will claim anti-Zionism and antisemitism are two completely separate things.
Wiener has learned the hard way that giving them an inch won’t save you if you’re Jewish or believe the Jewish people have the right to self-determination.
