Renowned Glengarry Glen Ross playwright David Mamet is accusing Democrats and the left in general of betraying the Jewish people in the wake of Hamas’ murderous attacks in Israel. “The writing is on the wall. In blood,” he writes in a new essay for UnHerd.
David Mamet specifically calls out liberal American Jews, who have voted Democrat for generations and are still pledging fealty to a party that clearly is siding against them.
In his UnHerd essay, titled “How the Democrats betrayed the Jews,” Mamet calls out the blatant anti-semitism that has overtaken the Democrat party.
‘Democratic Socialists are calling for the end of the State of Israel — that is, for the Death of the Jews.’

He also draws a historical line from the Gaza hospital hoax to centuries of Jewish libel, dating back to ancient times.
“There is no more cosy mystery in the antisemitism of the Democratic Party,” Mamet writes. “Representatives are affiliated with the Democratic Socialists and pro-Palestinians, calling for the end of the state of Israel — that is, for the death of the Jews.”
He adds: “And Democrat Representatives repeat and refuse to retract the libel that Israel bombed a hospital, in spite of absolute proof to the contrary, and will not call out the unutterable atrocities of Hamas. The writing is on the wall. In blood.”
Mamet also blasts those on the left calling for “ceasefire.”
“Those who consider themselves mere ‘liberals’ moderate their cowardice by calling for a ‘ceasefire’ — which is to say, a pause while Hamas re-arms,” he writes.
David Mamet has spoken exclusively with Breitbart News in recent years, including a 2020 interview in which he said Donald Trump was a “great president,” while liberal reaction to his presidency has been “psychotic.”
