New York Rep. Dan Goldman tried to turn the tables Wednesday to accuse “conservatives in the South” of hoisting swastikas at rallies in an effort to avoid criticizing fellow Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan for her refusal to condemn Saturday’s terrorist attacks on Israel.
Goldman was sitting for an interview on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday when host Lawrence Jones began trying to get the New York congressman to condemn certain members of his party who had not yet spoken out against the horrendous acts of terror committed by Palestinians against on women, children and old people in Israel.
The Fox host specifically focused on Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who has steadfastly refused to condemn the outright murders of thousands of Israeli civilians and at least 27 Americans.
Jones pointed out that Palestinian supporters have been seen at rallies in New York City with swastikas on signs and banners.
The Fox News host then mentioned Tlaib and asked Goldman if he would go to Capitol Hill and “try to get them to rally for the Israeli people.”
Instead of condemning the congresswoman, who not only won’t condemn the terrorism but still displays a Palestinian flag outside her office, and other members of his party, he pivoted to attacking the GOP.
“Look, there are fringe parts of many different parties. There are conservative marches in the South with swastikas all the time. Anti-Semitism is rampant,” Goldman replied.
Jones seemed to accept Goldman’s premise and replied, “100 percent.”
Many on social media, however, noted the claim was dubious.
“So what do you say to your party? What do you say to –” the Fox News host then tried to ask before being interrupted.
“I’ve had conversations with them. And — and, you know, Representative Ocasio-Cortez has condemned both that rally and the Hamas attacks. And what we’re talking about here is terrorism,” Goldman said, still not mentioning Tlaib.
“And what we are emphasizing, and what President Biden said so forcefully yesterday and so strongly, is that we stand with Israel, our democratic ally,” he said.
“That is what the Democratic Party stands with,” the congressman continued. “You — you can point to one or two different things, and I could point to many things on the right, that many of my Republican colleagues say is ridiculous, that, ‘No, I don’t agree with that.’

“The Democratic Party is in lockstep shoulder to shoulder with Israel. We support them against terrorism, we support them to defend their own country and to continue to be our democratic, strong democratic ally in the Middle East.”
Goldman was in Israel when the Hamas forces launched their surprise strike.
The congressman was attending a bar mitzvah, and he and his family were in a hotel in Tel Aviv when the attacks began. He said they rushed to a shelter with Israelis, according to Spectrum News.
“It was a shock three little kids, my wife,” he said. “And then you just started to look online and on local television, and you just saw the death and destruction and savagery and massacre that the terrorists exacted on Israel.”
Goldman has been outspoken that Hamas “should not exist.”
In a Monday interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, he said, “This is about Hamas, a terrorist organization dedicated to the eradication of Israel and all Jews. It should not exist. It should not be in power. And like al-Qaida and ISIS, it needs to be eliminated.”
