Commentary — The following is an excerpt from Congresswoman and Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s comments to a meeting of the Jewish Federation. Notice that there is no controversy over her speech in front of this ethnically based and frankly racist organization, and the only reason that it raised eyebrows at all was that she called assimilation and intermarriage problems for Jews. Contrast this to Steve Scalise. Nobody has even alleged that he said anything questionable to the EURO meeting back in 2003. The mere fact that he may have attended the organization’s meeting is enough for many to call for his resignation.

The other significant comment that Wasserman Shultz made that is being overlooked is her admission that Jews are the crux of the reason that Islamic fundamentalists are engaged in a global jihad.

Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz offered a series of candid remarks at a recent event in Florida, slamming MSNBC over what she claims is its anti-Israel bias, breaking with the Obama administration by identifying recent terrorists as Islamic, and questioning intermarriage and assimilation for Jewish people.

The Florida congresswoman’s eye-opening comments came at a breakfast event held earlier this month at a south Florida branch of the Jewish Federation.

“We have the problem of assimilation. We have the problem of intermarriage,” Wasserman Schultz said after mentioning her husband, who she seemingly met through the Jewish Federation.

“We have the problem that too many generations of Jews don’t realize the importance of our institutions strengthening our community — particularly with the rise of antisemitism and global intolerance, which obviously we saw in horrific technicolor in just the last week in Paris.”

The DNC chair, whose leadership has been considered rocky at times, identified “Islamic fundamentalists” as responsible for the Paris attack and others, thus breaking with the Obama administration which has all but avoided mentioning Islam in reference to any of the attacks.

“Unfortunately what happens, particularly with the global war on terror and the Islamic fundamentalists who are combating and leading it, [Jews] are the crux of the reason that they are engaged in that fight,” Wasserman Schultz told the audience.

What she says about Islamic radicalism and terrorism, is of course, fundamentally true! The horrific crimes of Israel against the Palestinians, Egyptians, Lebanese, Syrians and the Zionist orchestrated wars against Afghanistan and Iraq have fueled the radicalization of the Islamic world. In addition, Jewish promotion of open borders for America and the Western World have led to the demographic fracturing of many Western nations make the terrorists attacks possible.

She then launched into a pointed critique of the mainstream media’s coverage of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, while singling out MSNBC, a network on which she frequently appears spouting her extreme Zionist Bias.
