It took a Democratic candidate campaigning on castrating Jews and sending us to camps to get most Democrats to call out antisemitism in their party. It’s nice to know there are red lines. And Galindo deserves every call out she receives. Unfortunately, they only include the most extreme rhetoric, and not the subtle dog whistles, and denials of history, and thinly disguised bias that have become common in some segments of the party. It does appear Galindo’s campaign is being funded by a right wing group. But the uncomfortable reality remains: She wouldn’t have caught on unless there was support for her ideas among the Democratic base. This is a moment to think about how antisemitism has gone that mainstream, not just call out its most extreme figurehead. The hard truth is, the party didn’t get to Galindo overnight. On the road were the Free Palestine campus protests. There was the embrace by many Democrats of the genocide libel against Israel. And yes, there was the celebration, by virtually all Democrats, of Mamdani’s electoral success while conveniently forgetting his virulently anti-Israel past. Calling out Galindo with zero introspection on the road the party took to this moment isn’t just inconsistent. It’s dangerous.
