Washington, DC — Congressman Brandon Williams (NY-22) commented on what he’s called, “the Progressive-left, Syracuse Democratic Socialists anti-Semitic demonstration” outside of the Syracuse Federal Building, on Friday October 13th at 4:00 PM.
How does a demonstration suddenly become anti-Semitic when none of the reported verbiage falls under the definition of anti-Semitic?
According to the information posted on Facebook. The Syracuse Democratic Socialists statement is clear, “Congress is preparing to fund a genocide. Rather than seek de-escalation, the ruling class spends its time smearing those who recognize the humanity of Palestinians and the true cause of this conflict: apartheid. We will not be cowed in the fight for peace and liberation.” (“Free Palestine” Flyer)
Congressman Williams continued his assault by putting words in the mouths of people who were concerned about loss of life in the Israel-Hamas War. Nothing is more troubling and destructive than questioning the motives of protestors.
According to Williams press release of October “The DSA denies the Holocaust, denies Hamas terror, & denies the right of Israel to exist as a nation. The nexus of DSA Socialist ↔ anti-Semitism ↔ Progressives, is devoid of all human morality & decency. We don’t want them in NY-22,” said Congressman Brandon Williams.
The irony is that Congressman Brandon Williams doesn’t even live in the 22nd Congressional District and apparently feels compelled to announce, “We don’t want them in NY-22”.
What a brazen comment to make coming from a non-resident congressman whose job is to represent all residents of the 22nd Congressional District. That also includes Democrats, Republicans, Syracuse Democratic Socialists, and Progressives; not just those who agree with the right-wing MAGA agenda.
