Ettie Kryksman writing in the ''Times of Israel'' noted: {{quotebox|"Keith Ellison, was appointed Deputy Chair of the DNC, notwithstanding the fact that he has associated with Farrakhan, and attended several of his events. The leaders of the Women’s March have publicly praised Farrakhan defending their association with him.<br>In a spontaneous display of antisemitism, Washington, DC Council Member, Treyon White even blamed the bad weather on the Jews!<br>In spite of this, there is scant protest coming from within the Democratic Party of Democratic Officials and activists, who see no shame in hobnobbing with avowed antisemites.<br>The Democratic Party that condones this behavior either vocally or tacitly in their silence, is no longer a welcoming place for Jews.<br>Where are the voices of the Leftist Jews condemning the antisemitism that has hijacked the Democratic Party? Are Jewish Democrats willing to tolerate and excuse the rise of antisemitism in their party? Has Judaism for them become so politicized that it has been replaced by Liberalism?<br>The distinction between the two is lost when Jews ignore the antisemitism that has invaded the Democratic Party’s leadership.<br>The widespread antisemitism in the Democratic Party, has manifested itself as well... Sarsour was later championed by Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand who thought Sarsour was a wonderful role model for all women.<br>Democratic rallies shout anti Israel slogans against the “apartheid state of Israel.” Pro Israel speakers are shouted down at college campuses by progressive leftists, who refuse to allow them to speak. Events are canceled as event organizers yield to bullying.<ref>[https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/antisemitism-and-the-democratic-party-time-for-jews-to-wake-up/ Antisemitism and the Democratic Party: Time for Jews to Wake Up], Ettie Kryksman, ''Times of Israel'', April 10, 2018.</ref>
