Democrats are riding on the wrong horse when it comes to Israel

I have never been able to understand why Jews are so wedded to the Democratic Party. First, FDR and his anti-Semitic Congress refused to allow the S.S. St. Louis to land at Key West, thereby relegating hundreds of Hungarian Jews to the concentration camps. Now we see that not one Democrat attended the opening of the new U.S. embassy in Jerusalem—not Chuck Schumer, not Bernie Sanders, not Dianne Feinstein. Furthermore, it would appear that the progressive liberals, who seem to have taken over the party, care less and less about Israel. I can only hope my Democratic friends will learn, sooner than later, that they are riding the wrong horse.
