Jewish Democratic Council of America Backs Candidates Accusing Israel of Genocide
This is what Jewish Democrats are becoming

In 2025, Rep. Maxine Dexter gave a speech comparing Israel’s campaign against Hamas terrorists to the Holocaust, falsely calling it “ethnic cleansing” and “genocide”.
“After the Holocaust, the international community made a commitment that such evil can never happen again to any people, anywhere. Never again, they said. That is why I recently signed on to a resolution recognizing Israel’s actions in Gaza led by the Netanyahu government as a genocide,” Rep. Dexter said in her speech, backing Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s pro-terrorist resolution “Recognizing the Genocide of the Palestinian People in Gaza.”
The director of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum criticized Dexter’s hijacking of the Holocaust to support Hamas, but the Jewish Democratic Council of America endorsed Dexter’s reelection campaign anyway along with other vehemently anti-Israel candidates including one who had supported Mamdani and was endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders.
After the rise of antisemitic nominees, the JDCA sent out a message from its director Halie Soifer, most of which is dedicated to complaining about Trump and the “algae-ridden reflecting pool”, as if the color of the pool were the biggest issue for Jews in America, and then towards the end, warned Jews against dropping support for the Democratic Party.
