Zeldin Warns Jewish Americans of Insecurity Under Democrats

Former New York Representative Lee Zeldin has issued a stark warning to Jewish Americans, claiming they are "not safe under Democrat rule." In a recent op-ed for Newsweek, Zeldin criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for her perceived inaction against rising anti-Semitism within the Democratic Party. He argued that her actions since becoming the presumptive nominee have sent a troubling message to Jewish voters, particularly amid ongoing pro-Hamas protests at college campuses and the Democratic National Convention (DNC). Zeldin's comments come as anti-Israel activists, including relatives of prominent Democratic figures, have pressured Harris to support an arms embargo against Israel. During a DNC panel, these activists threatened Harris with electoral consequences if she did not align with their demands. Zeldin expressed concern that the current administration is failing to protect Jewish Americans from increasing threats, both domestically and internationally. The former congressman also criticized Harris for her recent decisions, including her absence during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's congressional address and her delayed response to anti-Israel protests in Washington, D.C. He accused her of "pandering" to anti-Semitic factions within her party, further undermining Jewish safety. Zeldin concluded his op-ed by urging voters to prioritize safety and support candidates who genuinely stand with Israel, endorsing Donald Trump and J.D. Vance as leaders who would strengthen the U.S.-Israel alliance. His remarks reflect a growing concern among some Jewish Americans regarding the Democratic Party's stance on Israel and anti-Semitism.
