NJ-05: Josh Gottheimer takes on Hasan Piker, accuses Democrats of double standard on antisemitism
Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) alleged that his party has a double standard when it comes to antisemitism in a Sunday opinion piece for The New York Times.
“Across the Democratic Party’s ideological spectrum, right-wing hate is consistently condemned. Today, too many Democrats are noticeably and shamefully silent when antisemitism comes from the far left — at a moment when the Anti-Defamation League is reporting a surge of antisemitic incidents in the past three years. It’s a glaring double standard,” Gottheimer wrote in his opinion piece.
“Consider the response to — really, the embrace of — Hasan Piker, a prominent left-wing commentator with millions of online followers. He referred to Orthodox Jews as ‘inbred’ and said ‘America deserved 9/11,’ both statements he halfheartedly walked back,” he added.
Gottheimer also added in his piece that Piker “said that Hamas — a designated terrorist organization that has killed Americans and taken Americans hostage — is ‘a thousand times better’ than Israel, America’s ally, which he called a ‘fascist settler colonial apartheid state.’”

Also said it didn't matter that the Jewish women were raped on Oct 7, 2023. 
And they were butchered and murdered.
Mahalo for exposing Piker, Rep, Josh Gottheimer
