Last month, The Capitol Hill Club (a Republican social club) hosted Max Blumenthal and Miko Peled. Although both are Jewish, they are vehemently anti-Semitic as they deny Hamas committed any atrocities on October 7th while calling for Israel to be dismantled.
The event was sponsored by The Committee for the Republic. Its vice-chairman, Bruce Fein, contacted the conservative Washington Free Beacon by email to defend the event:
"While the Committee for the Republic does not endorse statements made by speakers, we are committed to optimal factual accuracy. In that spirit, we invite you to provide sourced documentation of any Hamas rape of an Israeli woman on October 7," wrote the Committee for the Republic vice chairman Bruce Fein in an email to the Free Beacon. "We invite you to provide us documentation that Hamas killed Israeli babies on Oct. 7."
The group also asked the Free Beacon to "provide documentation that the 'Israel lobby' does not control members of Congress."
What exactly does Fein mean by "sourced documentation"? Which sources? Whatever the answer, it is safe to say that Fein will not accept the firsthand account of former Israeli hostages who witnessed Hamas captors raping their fellow hostages.
Fein, a one-time DOJ official in the Reagan Administration, truly gives the game away when his organization asks for "documentation that the 'Israel-lobby' does not control members of Congress." Well, how about Congress rejecting a $17 billion aid package to Israel? That aside, it is a question only an anti-Semite would pose. Indeed, Fein might as well have asked The Beacon to provide evidence The Holocaust claimed the lives of 6 million Jews.
When questions such as those are posed then there is no amount of evidence one could supply to persuade Fein or his organization to the contrary because their agenda is to render Israel an international pariah while promoting hatred against Jews. Yes, Fein is Jewish but has little affinity for his fellow Jews.
By making demands to provide evidence which Fein knows full well he will not accept demonstrates that he, like all anti-Semites (even if nominally Jewish), operate in bad faith.
