Why do leftists and Islamic jihadis love each other so much? Two terrorists have recently shown us anew.
As Mohamed Sabry Soliman started throwing Molotov cocktails at the elderly Jews who were peacefully demonstrating in Boulder, Colorado to call upon Hamas to release its Israeli hostages, he repeatedly screamed “Free Palestine.” This cry has already echoed off the hallowed halls of our nation’s great universities, courtesy of far-left agitators who have done their best to make campus life miserable for Jewish and pro-Israel students ever since Oct. 7, 2023.
Now, thanks to Elias Rodriguez, who murdered two Israeli officials outside the Jewish Museum in Washington two weeks ago, and Soliman, the call to “Free Palestine” is as much linked to terrorist violence outside Israel as it is within it. Rodriguez and Soliman also show why the left and Islamic jihad are so closely intertwined.
The short answer of why the leftist/Islamic alliance has proven to be so strong and enduring is that both are based on terror. Maximilien Robespierre made his French Revolution’s dependence upon terror explicit in a Feb. 1794 speech, in which he said: “If virtue be the spring of a popular government in times of peace, the spring of that government during a revolution is virtue combined with terror: virtue, without which terror is destructive; terror, without which virtue is impotent. Terror is only justice prompt, severe and inflexible; it is then an emanation of virtue; it is less a distinct principle than a natural consequence of the general principle of democracy, applied to the most pressing wants of the country.”
In other words, people had to be terrorized into doing the bidding of the French Revolutionary government. They had to be too frightened not to obey. This, as George Orwell so vividly illustrated in 1984, is the hallmark of leftist totalitarian governments. As Lenin put it: “We stand for organized terror – this should be frankly admitted. Terror is an absolute necessity during times of revolution. Our aim is to fight against the enemies of the Soviet Government and of the new order of life. We judge quickly. In most cases only a day passes between the apprehension of the criminal and his sentence. When confronted with evidence criminals in almost every case confess; and what argument can have greater weight than a criminal’s own confession.”
Islam is likewise built on terror, contrary to the fashionable Western wishful thinking about how Islamic terrorists have hijacked and/or misunderstood the religion of peace. The Qur’an tells Muslims to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (8:60), but that is only the beginning. The Muslim book’s entire appeal to the human race is on the basis of terror: you must believe, or you will suffer the painful tortures of hell. The New Testament, the angel of the Lord came to the shepherds who were keeping watch over their flocks by night and said: “Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.” (Like 2:10-11) In the Qur’an, the tidings are of an altogether different kind: “No, but those who disbelieve will deny, and Allah knows best what they are hiding. So give them tidings of a painful doom.” (84:22-24).
A Muslim believes and obeys Allah because “those who disbelieve, theirs will be an awful doom.” (35:7) Non-Muslims submit to the hegemony of the Muslims and Islamic law because if they do not “pay the jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued” (9:29), their “contract of protection” can be revoked and they can be killed. Women submit to men because the Qur’an tells men to “beat” women from whom they “fear disobedience” (4:34). In every relationship, every interaction, there is terror, and that terror is the element that compels obedience, just as in leftist regimes.
On Sunday in Boulder, Colorado, Mohamed Sabry Soliman brought that terror to his targets, on behalf both of the leftists who see the “liberation” of “Palestine” as a great Marxist struggle of the oppressed against the oppressor, and of the Muslims who see the destruction of Israel as a grand jihad and fulfillment of Allah’s command to “drive them out from where they drove you out.” (Qur’an 2:191) Islamic jihadists and leftists love each other so much because they both favor the same weapons, and have the same goal: a docile population to thoroughly terrorized to dare to disobey.
The Left we have been warned about the Leftists and their Plans for America time to heed Senator McCarthys warnings about the Left
We should set his daughter on fire.
What is fair is fair.
He wouldn’t care. She’s only a girl.
Does he have sons?
Talk about the son of a ape and pig. Look at that face? Not even his mother could love it. And the photo of him shirtless could make women swear off men permanently.
Now let’s be honest.
Men ARE gross, and women tolerate us out of sexual need.
After 42 years of marriage I say BALONEY!
Leftists & islamists are united by their hatred of America/western Judeo-Christian culture.
One huge binder is their shared colossal ignorance. Hence, many “queers for palestine” fools are stunned when informed of what a palestinian mob would do to them the moment they set foot in Gaza.
Another binder is their brainwashed fetish for the current designated “oppressed” group.
Yup. They are united only in their desire to eradicate Western Civilization.
Wait until the two groups turn on each other – and they will. the Islamists will win because they are driven by religion.
trans dudes can hit them with their purses filled with Craftsmen tools – you can take the man away from Craftsman but you can’t take the man away from Craftsman tools – even in his purse
Correct, Muslims have a Satanic heart felt belief system that includes conquering the world. They will not waiver.
Leftists want to conquer the world but it is based on greed (also Satanic) which means they will eat each other alive to get more power within their own group. A house divided will not stand.
queers for palestine is indication how not only the absence of common sense critical thinking but the reality of demonic possession in these creeps
“Queers for Palestine, chickens for KFC,*” as we used to say.
Robespierre was a member of Brandenburg Illuminati the dark anti-Christian side of the Enlightenment, the origin of Socialism, Communism and Anarchism. And again this is a reincarnation of the Molotov Ribbentrop Pact, the Hitler Stalin Pact, the alliance of National Socialist – Nazi Germany and International Socialist – Communist Russia.
america can thank their treasonous representatives in DC . for allowing the barbarians into the u.s. under the fictitious banner of the religion of peace . democrats and republicans are complicit in the deaths of anyone murdered by these monsters . the bible says everyone will give an account of all that is done in this life which is the only true justice there is . as cackleoharris famously stated defending the riots ” they wont stop and they shouldnt . ” the elite are immune from the terror ordinary citizens are subject to but not forever . when the elite and the privileged are dead the horrors of hell will invade their life , and its forever .
Love the kleenex on Monkey Face’s head. What up wit dat?
Satan’s bridal veil?
Now that is funny.
Thanks.
I grew up on Tom Lehrer and Don Rickles.
The ONE advantage of coming from a Reform family was the access to top notch comedy.
I suppose a bit of it rubbed off…
But nowadays, it doesn’t play well.
“Free Palestine” and “From the river to the sea” should be in the same category as “Seig Heil” and “Arbeit macht frei” as phrases never to be heard in anything except an academic discussion explicates the horrors of anti semitism.
Jihadis like to wreck things. Leftists like to wreck things. Brothers in arms.
I agree. Unless it affects the D.C. people, terrorist acts are okay.
Just think about the recent past riots, wher buildings were burned and people killed, but were labeled “mostly peaceful”. Then came the riot at the Capitol, a lot more peaceful than the others, but the politicians were extremely frightened, thus the over-the-top reactions from Pelosi, et al.
Frightened, and prone to use their influence to slant data, and prosecute with impunity.
Terror is a mighty motivator.
the mele in the capitol was the work of the FBI’s plants – and antifa or paid and trained agitators
Pelosi with other Dems coordinated J6 long before it happened. .
Mr. Spencer, I have followed and admired your work for years now. I must, however, take issue with your language in this piece.
You refer to Elias Rodriguez as having “. . . murdered two Israeli officials outside the Jewish Museum in Washington”. While true, characterizing the victims as “Israeli officials” dilutes the import of the attack.
They were not killed because they were “Israeli officials”; rather they were killed because they were perceived to be Jewish. The constant reference to these young people as employees of the Israeli embassy conveys a direct nexus between their murder and the State of Israel — which is not warranted.
That characterization of the victims provides a pathway, in the pathetic minds of those who repeatedly hide behind stated disapproval of Israel’s policies as an excuse for their anti-Semitism, to justify the murders.
The killing of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky was pure and unadulterated Jew hatred. Nothing more nothing less. It should always be clearly identified as such.
Thank you -exactly. I’m frankly stunned that when he entered the Museum after murdering this beautiful couple, he did not murder more Jews. Or was he out of bullets? Where was armed security????? People, wake up to the danger. In my Queens neighborhood, there are stickers with “Globalize the Intifada.” A few of us write over them, blank Hamas, but these stickers supporting pogroms against Jews should be surveyed by the police and removed by the Sanitation department.
They were Israeli official’s – ambassadors of some sort – we don’t know if they meet when they were hired by Israel to be ambassadors or before – They were Jewish, maybe one not totally Hebrew but converted of half Hebrew DNA – but they were practicing Jewish young people.
Were they just there at the wrong place at the right time to be victims?
The problem here and with the Boulder, Colorado bombing is we American Hebrews/Jews are still not taking jihad terrorism seriously and that’s a psychological disconnect –
The tsunami of antisemitism since 10-=7-2023 that has become fashionable and vogue where the lunatic fringe has become unhinged with global and domestic attacks – Us USA Hebrews/Jews do not have high security at our events – be it a march or a museum event!
Get trained, stay trained, have lookouts, security and travel in groups.
WHEN, NOT IF, JIHAD come here, whose side will millions of Americans be on?
If they went up to one, as he’s swinging a machete to chop heads off, and they tell them that they side with them and cheer them on, they’ll have their heads chopped off too.
WHEN SHITTE HITS THE FAN, these cowards will run to hide behind a MAGA, an NRA member who they just spit on, so those persons can take the bullets and die for them. I also bet they’d go to honor that person at their grave site… BY URINATING ON IT! “MAGA! NRA! I HATE YOU!”
Majority of Americans do not know enough about Islam to understand how truly deadly and determined it is.
Words alone are not going to make the leftists and their cohorts back off and go away. They have to be dealt with in the only way that they can understand. A way that imputes binary consequences for their actions: life or death. The choice is theirs.
American Jewish leaders gave a green light to Islamic terror attacks at the moment when they publicly opposed President Trump’s efforts to deport Hamas terrorists and their supporters who had taken over Ivy League universities. Had they rallied around deportations, these attacks would not have happened. Instead, they defended the Left. A friend in Washington, DC told me that Rodriguez had been REGISTERED TO ATTEND THE EVENT HE ATTACKED. That he had loitered outside walking back and forth for an hour and a half, unquestioned. That he had been WELCOMED INSIDE THE JEWISH MUSEUM AFTER SHOOTING HIS VICTIMS. And that nobody stopped him from waving the Hamas flag! American Jewish leadership has to take some responsibility for encouraging these attacks by their alliance with the Left, IMHO.
Unfortunately, you are right. There is another group The Jewish Leadership Project, which is onto these leftist Jewish groups which just want to receive donations and do nothing to protect their fellow Jews and in fact, encourage assaults by defending DEI. In NYC we are in danger of a radical Islamist DSA member, Zorhan Mamdani, being elected Mayor.
Yours is the best comment. Where was security? Where was armed security? The FBI was a block away: why weren’t they watching this event? Where was the D.C. Metro police? Why didn’t the museum check out everyone who had registered for the event???? Are peacnicks that dumb? I guess so!
I also heard – and I hope I am wrong – zero or little security inside. I was at a pro Israel event over a year ago, and extra security was hired. We were not taking any chances!!!! I will bet that a search of Rodriguez name and background would have turned up disturbing things – even before the two murders.
THROW MAZEL-TOVS – not Molotovs!
This guy is jihad – Maybe not jihad trained like hamazz and hellzbullshita, but influenced by jihad.
Wide open borders of the previous administration installed by coup d’etat of rigged and stolen 2020 election, knowingly allowed unvetted terrorists in USA and given carte blanch to any city they chose where they joined jihad terrorist sleeper cells – They are Manchurian Candidates waiting for the call!
These two beautiful young people, they were Israeli official’s – ambassadors of some sort – we don’t know if they meet when they were hired by Israel to be ambassadors or before – They were Jewish, maybe one not totally Hebrew but converted of half Hebrew DNA – but they were practicing Jewish young people.
Were they just there at the wrong place at the right time to be victims?

About that malicious Muslim of boulder Colorado is viciously burned Jewish people who had a peaceful demonstration for “freeing the hostage” that Muslim terrorist had “homemade” flamethrower and even used Molotov cocktails as firebombs. That Muslim terrorist, Mohamad Soliman , has no limit to the horrendous cruelty of engaging in Islam’s jihad.
As the Qu ran instructs “O you who believe ! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you..” Surah 9:123.
That Muslim who used a flamethrower on those children, who the Qu’ran an terms “disbelievers” is a horrendously heinously cruelly effective to show those youngsters harshness.
In addition. Muslim terrorists jihad malicious murderous jihad violence as observed in those horrendous evil and vicious jihad attacks will continue because of the basic root ideology of Islamic terrorists is based on the theology of Islam’s “holy book” the Qur ‘an. For the Qu ‘ran instructs in the use of violence and killing for the advancement of Islam. As found in, for example, 2:191. 5:33. 9:5, 111.123. 47:4. Therefore Islam is a false, dangerous and deadly religion.
That most wicked cruel jihadist attack against those peaceful Jewish men and women in the America city of Boulder, Colorado is a very blatant horrible reminder wise words of the former US President, William Howard Taft had, rightly , declared in a speech “Antisemitism is a noxious weed that should be cur out. It has no place in America.”
That Muslim terrorist, Mohamad Soliman . all the while he was engaging in cruel fire based Islamic terrorism was also yelling out “Free Palestine”. The actions of Soliman are wicked therefore he is evil.
As for those two words he kept shouting out , this exposes just how very ignorant he actually is.
For In reality, there is not nor was there ever a genuine land that is “Palestine.” That is a modern fiction. Therefore, that “Palestine flag.” is a fake “flag.”
“The land of Israel was renamed Syria Palestrina by Hadrian, the Roman Emperor. Following the second revolt against Rome in AD 132- 135. The Philistines had always been the enemy of the Jews .and as such it was an insult to the Jewish people.” [1]
It should also be added, that Hadrian had deliberately intended the renaming of Israel to be an insult and offence to the Jews.
