The King County Democratic Party finally released its "2004 Platform".
The version of the platform adopted at the recent county party convention generated controversy, when it was reported that it contained a Muslim-inspired plank to:
withhold U.S. tax dollars from Israel while it is in violation of international lawThe version of the platform now posted on the county party website backs off from this overt anti-Semitism, and instead includes one new reasonable plank:
The United States should commit to vigorous, serious and persistent, engagement in a peaceful resolution of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, promoting negotiations that lead to a viable two state solution and ensure security for the Israeli and Palestinian peoples.along with one new less inflammatory but still highly idiotic and effectively anti-Israel plank:
No U.S. tax dollars should be given to any nation while said nation is in violation of international law as determined by the United NationsIt's awfully sad that the KC Democrats think we should submit our foreign aid budget to the UN's unelected panjandrums for approval. Especially since the UN has long been captive to the most vicious anti-Semites on the planet, we can expect the UN to determine that Israel is in violation of international law, even when the true criminal states are not. And the King County Dhimmicrat Party Central Committee members certainly know this. Shame on them.
Will the local Congressmen and candidates repudiate this part of the platform? Patty Murray? Maria Cantwell? Dave Ross? Alex Alben? Jay Inslee? Which side are you on?
Posted by Stefan Sharkansky at May 27, 2004 02:45 PMI hope Nethercutt can use this in his campaign. He should ask Patty Murray if she supports this plank.
The report you cite on the meeting of 300 Muslims in Seattle was horrifying to me in that it contains nary a word on CAIR's sordid history of apologetics for terrorism. Also no mention of the direct ties to Hamas of some of CAIR's officials. Instead, we get some blather about the nice "warmth and intimacy of a close-knit community". Baghdad Jim as CAIR's public official of the year???!!! Makes me want to barf.
Posted by: wilinsky on May 27, 2004 04:00 PMi stopped talking with people about isreal, palestine, and related problems after seeing how many times people would raise the spectre of anti-semitism just because i dislike the way isreal does their foreign policy and think that maybe we shouldn't be giving them gobs of money. here's a clue: that means i have an opinion, not that i'm an anti-semite.

Fuck the UN, the French, the Dhimmibots and everyone else!
Why don't they just say, "I want to slaughter the Joooooos".
This world is a scary place now!

Posted by: Kevin P. on May 27, 2004 07:30 PMDear Nobody,
Here's a clue back: You can be against giving money to 'Isreal' (your post just makes you seem like an idiot, not necessarily anti-semitic), but if you support Hamas or raise money for them or support groups who do, you are anti-semitic by definition.
Hey nobody two points: 1) it is IsrAEl, really not to difficult, huh? and 2) you are against Israel's foreign policy? Really. What foreign policy is that? They have offered peace treaties with all of her neighbors, they consistantly are the first country to offer assistance to others in times of disaster (Turkey and Iranian earthquake come to mind), they have done tremendous good in 3rd world countries by teaching them irrigation and agricultural techniques and so on, so help me out exactly - what foreign policy do you have a problem with?
