Joel Rubin ran Jewish outreach for Bernie Sanders in 2020. Before that he was a career State Department officer under Bush, and a deputy assistant secretary of state under Obama. This month he published an essay arguing that the Democratic Party is turning against the Jews--and his old boss, Bernie Sanders, is responsible for recruiting them to the party. Joel booked an hour on Amped Up--but stayed for ninety minutes.
Squirrel Hill. Rubin's from the neighborhood. Tree of Life is around the corner. His parents were at services the night before the attack. He describes those who showed up for his family 5 years ago, yet now are bystanders, because the anti-Semitism's coming from The Left. There are perpetrators, victims, and the third group that decides it all--yet so many supposed allies have said nothing.
Cliff’s talked about The Armenians of Artsakh, how as they were ethnically cleansed and he worked on a project to publicize it, yet many now lecturing on what genocide is couldn't be bothered to share a single post then.
And he makes the comparison nobody makes. Joel & Cliff then talked British rule, a 1947 partition,10-14 million dead, and why those demanding one country be dissolved never mention this exact situation, except much much worse human rights, lack of democracy, and the horrific persecution of minorities.
Watch the video and go to BAM for the rest of this important story. The Left is supposed to be better than this.
