UPDATE BELOW:
Anti-Semitism is growing around the world but the politically correct crowd is afraid to call it out for fear of offending the Muslims. The progressive view is schizophrenic in that they call for acceptence while willfully ignoring the fact that in the last 30 days, Muslim extremists have carried out 104 Islamic attacks in 21 countries, in which 587 people were killed and 683 injured.
Ted Cruz is introducing a resolution that addresses this directly and calls a spade a spade. From Tablet Magazine:
Finally, a Resolution That Actually Condemns Anti-Semitism
Earlier this month, after Rep. Ilhan Omar accused American Jews of dual loyalty and the Israel lobby of purchasing undue influence, the House passed a resolution that did not mention Omar by name and that condemned not only anti-Semitism but every other conceivable form of bigotry. Doing his best to hide his disappointment, Rep. Eliot Engel, who chairs the Foreign Affairs Committee, said, “I wish we had had a separate resolution about anti-Semitism. I think we deserved it.”
The congressman can take heart: A new resolution, drafted by Ted Cruz and slated to be introduced in the Senate this week, delivers everything that the Democrats’ muddled manifesto did not. “Anti-Semitism,” it declares in its very first sentence, “is a unique form of prejudice.” It’s precisely the sort of statement—factually true and morally clear—that so many American Jews hoped to hear after Omar made her inflammatory comments, and had the new resolution said nothing more it still would’ve been enough. But in four brief paragraphs, Cruz’s initiative delivers not only a much-needed course correction but also an education on the specific historical evils of anti-Semitism and an elucidation of the real key differences between both political parties when it comes to understanding and honoring the concerns of American Jews. For these reasons, it merits a close reading.
More at the site - the actual resolution has not been made public as yet. Sounds good though.
UPDATE: The resolution is being released to the public Tuesday April 2nd.
