California Dem Frontrunner Accuses Israel of Genocide

After Rep. Eric Swalwell got ‘MeToo’ed, the Democrat side of the California gubernatorial race narrowed down to Rep. Xavier Becerra, Newsom’s candidate who shares his slickness and his political machine past, Billionaire Tom Steyer, backed by the Bernie Sanders people, and Rep. Katie Porter, whom even the Democrats who voted for Hillary and Kamala Harris can’t quite see electing.

Even though California is quite a ways from Israel, support for Hamas has become a litmus test for leftist Democrats, and so all the candidates were asked about the false claim that Israel had ‘committed’ genocide when it fought against the Hamas invasion of Oct 7.

Steve Hilton dismissed it rapidly. Xavier Becerra essentially agreed with it while refraining from using the ‘g’ word, claiming that “what Israel did is not within international norms and it should not be part of the community of nations”. (‘Palestine’ however should be.)

Katie Porter called for an international investigation of Israel. Presumably not by the same ICC guy who was trying to cover up his sexual assault streak in coordination with Qatar who had previously ‘investigated’ it. Tom Steyer mumbled some random slurs about Netanyahu and then pivoted to Iran, but in all fairness he’s almost as old and confused as Bernie. Matt Mahan, the only seemingly normal Dem contender in the race, was more vague.

Gov. Gavin Newsom saw which way the wind was blowing and pivoted pretty quickly on Israel, from doing a sympathy visit, to being anti-Israel. Now his candidate has moved on to demanding that Israel be kicked out of the ‘community of nations’. Unlike China, Pakistan or North Korea.

It’s a telling commentary on the state of the party.
