The Democrats’ Antisemitism Problem - The American Spectator | USA News and PoliticsThe American Spectator | USA News and Politics

President Harry S. Truman supported the creation of the Jewish state of Israel in 1948 .

In his memoirs, Truman wrote that he was in staunch support of the creation and recognition of Israel .

In 2008 , a full 60 years later , a motion for a voice vote to amend the party platform to declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel was met with many delegates shouting “no” and with loud boos when the motion was deemed to have passed.

Now, here we are a full 17 years later and the antisemitism seen by Truman in 1948 , which then flavored the 2008 Democratic Convention, is well out there right now.
