Pennsylvania Supreme Court justice leaves Democratic Party over antisemitism concerns

What the press tells you:

>From 1998 to 2001, years that preceded my judicial career, I served as Vice-Chair of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party. In the quarter century that has passed since then, the Democratic Party has changed. Nazi tattoos, jihadist chants, intimidation and attacks at synagogues, and other hateful anti-Jewish invective and actions are minimized, ignored, and even coddled. Acquiescence to Jew-hatred is now disturbingly common among activists, leaders and even many elected officials in the Democratic Party.

What is left out of the narrative:

The reason why these Palestinian protests are occuring outside of synagogues, is because these synagogues are hosting events for land sales of Palestinian land in west bank. This has occured in several major cities.

Currently, there is legislation to address these protests.
