After a week of brutal infighting, U.S. Democratic party leaders rushed Thursday to re-write and pass a resolution condemning both anti-Semitism and prejudice against Muslims — rather than the Minnesota Democrat's comments on Jewish influence — so they could try to extinguish a political and media firestorm.

To ensure the hearty support of their more diverse caucus, they had to add the LGBTQ community, Latinos and Asian Americans to a list of groups targeted by hatred — leaving Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., to declare he was "very disappointed" there was not a separate measure addressing anti-Semitism on its own and Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., to note that Wiccans, Mormons and disabled people had been left out.

This whole exercise once again exposes that U.S. is still stuck debating a false argument politically created in the 20th century to create the atmosphere that would allow the European conquest of Palestine and the continued usurping of indigenous peoples without resistance from the peoples who fund it without representation.
