It is about time… that is all I can say.
I do not understand how any Democrat of Jewish faith can remain in that party with the stance and attacks the Democrat Party has made against Israel.
One New York Democrat finally got it.
I’m Done
Dov Hikind, a former New York State Assemblyman who represented Brooklyn, is finally calling it quits.
He announced moving over to the GOP in a Twitter video this week.
Hikind stated, “Ppl have long been asking, ‘Dov, when are you gonna leave the Democratic Party?’
“Well, the time has come bc the Dems have turned their back on Jews & Israel, so it’s officially done!”
He continued, “I have been a lifelong Democrat. My family, my parents. But that’s over. That’s finished.
“I have decided to register as a Republican. Unfortunately, the Democratic Party has become so radicalized, so radical, run by the radicals, that people who are moderates or conservative Democrats are not welcomed in the Democratic Party… and I’ve had enough.”
IT’S OFFICIAL: My wife and I have switched our party affiliation from Democrat to Republican!

The stance of congressional Democrats against Israeli President Isaac Herzog must have been the last straw.
Democrats boycotted Herzog’s speech before Congress, while other members called him the biggest anti-Semite on the planet… the president of Israel… it is almost comical.
Herzog even called out AOC in his speech, stating, “Criticism of Israel must not cross the line into negation of the state of Israel’s right to exist.
“Questioning the Jewish people’s right to self-determination is not legitimate diplomacy. It is antisemitism.
“Vilifying and attacking Jews, whether in Israel, in the United States or anywhere in the world, is antisemitism.”
All I can say is welcome to the party, sir, but what the hell took you so long!
