<p>Michigan Democrat Rep. Shri Thanedar renounced his membership in the largest socialist organization in the United States after the far-Left group promoted an anti-semitic rally in the wake of barbaric terrorist attacks on Israel from Hamas.</p>
<p>&#8220;Today, I am officially renouncing my membership in the Democratic Socialists of America,&#8221; Thanedar wrote in a <a href="https://twitter.com/RepShriThanedar/status/1712181950176186851?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">news release</a>. &#8220;After the brutal terrorist attacks on Israel, which include the indiscriminate murder, rape, and kidnapping of innocent men, women, and children, I can no longer associate with an organization unwilling to call out terrorism in all its forms.&#8221;</p>
<p>The New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, which its <a href="https://www.dsausa.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a> claims has over 92,000 members and chapters in all 50 states, promoted a rally in Times Square on Sunday alongside other organizations. At that rally, roughly 1,000 demonstrators celebrated Hamas&#8217; deadly attacks on Israel that has so far left more 1,200 Israelis — and 22 U.S. citizens — dead, and nearly 3,000 injured.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sunday&#8217;s hate-filled and anti-semitic rally in New York City, promoted by the NYC-DSA, makes it impossible for me to continue my affiliation,&#8221; Thanedar continued. &#8220;I stand with Israel and its right to defend itself.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;There is no place for moral equivocation in the face of unadulterated evil as we have seen from Hamas,&#8221; he said, in part. &#8220;My ideals have not changed at all. I strongly believe that ending my association with DSA serves my constituents&#8217; interests as they expect me to represent them by helping to build a better, more just world, not fanning the flames of hatred.&#8221;</p>
<p>Thanedar&#8217;s response toward the socialist group&#8217;s demonstration joined a number of other political lawmakers who have distanced themselves from remarks that were said at the event.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are here in solidarity with the Palestinian people who are fighting 75 years of Israeli settler colonialism, settler violence, and 16 years of military blockade of Gaza,&#8221; Munir Atalla, a 30-year-old Palestinian Youth Movement group member, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nypd-to-conduct-perimeter-searches-around-synagogues-mayor-urges-religious-leaders-to-hire-extra-security" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> said. &#8220;What we saw yesterday was the people of Gaza breaking out of their open-air prison.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), one of the now five DSA members in Congress, reportedly called the &#8220;bigotry and callousness expressed&#8221; during the rally &#8220;were unacceptable and harmful in this devastating moment.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It should not be hard to shut down hatred and antisemitism where we see it. That is a core tenet of solidarity,&#8221; she said in a news release on Monday <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/10/aoc-pro-palestine-nyc-rally-00120684" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> by POLITICO.</p>
<p>She added the event &#8220;also did not speak for the thousands of New Yorkers who are capable of rejecting both Hamas&#8217; horrifying attacks against innocent civilians as well as the grave injustices and violence Palestinians face under occupation.&#8221;</p>
<p>DSA member and New York Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani (D-Queens) also criticized the rally.</p>
<p>&#8220;My support for Palestinian liberation should never be confused for a celebration of the loss of civilian life,&#8221; Mamdani said in a statement. &#8220;I condemn the killing of civilians and rhetoric at a rally [on Sunday] seeking to make light of such deaths.&#8221;</p>
<p>NYC Democratic Mayor Eric Adams condemned the organized rally.</p>
<p>&#8220;At a moment when innocent people are being slaughtered and children kidnapped in Israel, it is disgusting that this group of extremists would show support for terrorism,&#8221; Adams reportedly wrote in an X-post on Monday. &#8220;I reject this. New York City rejects this. Do not use our streets to spread your hate.&#8221;</p>
<p>NYC-DSA officials reportedly claimed they did not organize the rally, adding the group opposes harming and targeting civilians.</p>
<p>Steering Committee Member Nadia Tykulsker said the group promoted the event &#8220;at the request of a coalition partner because we believe in equality and justice for all Palestinians and Israelis, and we know that war will take more lives.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It is shameful that politicians in our state are exploiting this moment to target a socialist organization and divide the vibrant left in New York — whose sole aim in politics is to grow the power of working people for freedom against exploitation and oppression — instead of focusing our attention where it should be: on the atrocities and tragic loss of life in the region,&#8221; she added.</p>
