After the horrifying images of what Hamas did in Israel on Saturday went around the world, it’s hard to believe that anyone came out in support of the Palestinian jihad. But numerous leftists found a way and seized the opportunity of the bloody massacre of hundreds of innocent Israeli civilians to advance anti-Israel talking points.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Ramallah) led the way with a statement that was a masterpiece of blame-shifting and displacement of responsibility. After seeing ordinary Israelis massacred wholesale at a peace festival, on the street, and in their homes, Tlaib began by putting the perpetrators and their victims on equal footing: “I grieve the Palestinian and Israeli lives lost yesterday, today, and every day. I am determined as ever to fight for a just future where everyone can live in peace, without fear and with true freedom, equal rights, and human dignity.”
Once she had that boilerplate out of the way, Tlaib detailed what she thinks could be done to establish that gloriously just and peaceful future: “The path to that future must include lifting the blockade, ending the occupation, and dismantling the apartheid system that creates the suffocating, dehumanizing conditions that can lead to resistance.” Translation: all those dead Israelis an aghast world saw Saturday were Israel’s fault. Israel must lift the blockade, that is, allow a free flow of the latest, most sophisticated weaponry into Gaza and the West Bank. It must end the “occupation,” which would involve leaving lands to which only Israel has any actual legal right. And it must dismantle the “apartheid system,” that is, let each and every Palestinian, even ones who are armed to the teeth and screaming “Death to Israel,” enter the country without any screening whatsoever. About Hamas’ atrocities, meanwhile, Tlaib said nary a word.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) was likewise indifferent to Israeli suffering. She tweeted on Saturday, “Reminder, Gaza doesn’t have shelters or an iron dome and to please pray for them. May peace prevail in the region and move us towards a moral awakening to care about the human suffering we are seeing. Palestinians are human beings who have been in besieged [sic] and are deserving of protection from the international community.” If any people have been besieged, it is the Israelis, but Omar could not spare a word for them.
Other leftists fell into lockstep as well. Code Pink tweeted on Sunday — the day after massacres took place all over Israel because its security measures were breached — “PALESTINE WILL BE FREE! In D.C. today, we called on Biden to stop arming apartheid and impose sanctions on Israel!” On Monday, the old leftist flagship publication, The Nation, ran a piece entitled, “Gaza Is a Nightmare Today, but We Will Not Stop Dreaming of Freedom.” The subtitle: “This war is happening for one reason: the prolonged suffering and occupation that Palestinians have endured for seven decades.”
Leftist celebrities didn’t lag behind. Adin Ross, who is identified as a “widely recognized Kick streamer,” whatever that is, and has apparently made enough money doing it to have a million dollars to give to genocidal killers, is doing just that. MEAWW (Media Entertainment Arts WorldWide) reported Monday that he “has garnered significant attention from social media users due to recent reports suggesting a potential donation of $1,000,000 to Palestine amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.” The celebrity influencer Andrew Tate, a former kickboxer, convert to Islam, and controversial misogynist who claims to reject the left primarily for its attack on masculinity but nonetheless echoes leftist talking points on Israel, is likewise sending $200,000 to the jihadis.
Whatever the intentions of Ross and Tate may be, this money will go to jihadis and be used to murder more innocent Israeli civilians.
There is no other conflict in the world where people who consider themselves to be decent human beings applaud, and willingly aid and abet, the murder of civilians. If some country invaded North Korea, home of one of the most repressive regimes on the planet, people would not be applauding the deaths of North Korean civilians. In fact, care would be taken to distinguish the people from the regime. In Israel, there are many lies about the government but in reality, it is not a violator of human rights. Yet even if it were, no one would be lamenting the deaths of Israeli civilians. The applause would continue.
What kind of sickness overtakes people that they can see what the “Palestinian” jihadis did to innocent people on Saturday and think, “I’ve got to speak out in support of the attackers,” or even worse, “I’ve got to give those people some money”?
Savages supporting savages.
Lying and killing non-Jews is just what the Koran commands them to do.
You mean kuffar, non-Muslims?
Undoubtably. The alliance of the Left and Political Islam (especially their Palestinian fetish) is patently ludicrous, since the Left CLAIMS to oppose misgyny and homophobia, which are endemic to Muslim World. But then the Left is always making deals with the devil. After all, between 08/23/1939 and 06/22/1941 the Left denounced anyone who opposed fascism as a “warmonger” since the Soviet Union had an opportunistic pact with Hitler which it used to gobble up Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and grab large sections of Poland and Romania.
Leftist songbird Pete Seeger, who lived long enough to champion the oh so fashionable Palestinian cause and to provide a celebrity endorsement for BDS-supporting Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream, recorded a record during the Nazi Soviet Pact, excorciating Roosevelt as a “warmonger” and a “cripple”, not because of Roosevelt’s inaction in rescuing Jews in Nazi occupied Europe (there were no “Refugees Welcome!” lawn signs for Jews fleeing Hitler) but because the Communist Party (which Seeger was a long time member of) opposed Lend Lease aid to Britain. Unfortunately, Seeger’s record went for pressing on 06/22/1941 and was very hastily withdrawn.
I think it’s time to rename Code Pink. They should be rebranded as Fat Ugly Women Supporting Jihad.
Curious to see how they’d look in a hajib while getting slapped by their husbands…
I’d hope they would go to gaza, but they’re so unattractive they probably wouldn’t be raped, or enslaved and sold off to a jihadi. They could always volunteer as human shields, and maybe do the world a favor and catch a JDAM.
Fat ugly dykes, you mean. With hairy armpits.
It’s no surprise that the intellectually infirm Rashida Tlaib couldn’t resist letting her head emerge from her ass to voice support for our enemies.
The press didn’t care to notice the map of the M.E. in her office. It shows the region with no Israel.
Who the fock is sizing up human waste like Omar & Tlaib and deciding “these two low-lifes will make a great addition to our soil! Let’s bring ’em here!”
Be sure to check both of those vile bitches for backpacks before letting them enter the Capitol.
“What kind of sickness overtakes people that they can see what the “Palestinian” jihadis did to innocent people on Saturday and think, “I’ve got to speak out in support of the attackers,” or even worse, “I’ve got to give those people some money”?”
The sickness is called ALTRUISM. Altruism leads to hatred of the good for being the good, hatred of the civilized for being the civilized, hatred of the successful for being successful.
Altruism demands mercy and pity for the undeserving and the rejection of JUSTICE for those who deserve justice. Ultimately altruism demands the sacrifice of your mind and the facts of reality.
“Should you be just? To the contrary, altruism insists that you treat people with mercy, rather than justice. If others are guilty of some wrongdoing, you should offer them absolution, not judgement. Treat them with pity in place of censure. Deal with people based not on what they deserve but on what they NEED.
Altruism’s attitude toward moral principles is sharply illustrated by the following. Some years ago, the campus of New York’s Stonybrook State University became the target of numerous fires, resulting in several million dollars of damage. It turned out that the fires were set by one of the university’s own fire marshals — who had previously been imprisoned for ARSON. While it is not clear whether anyone at the school knew of his criminal record at the time he was hired — he supposedly left blank the line on the application form that asked about criminal history — the university’s chief fire marshal said such knowledge would have made no difference in the hiring decision: “We couldn’t refuse him; that would be discrimination.” That is, it would have been UNALTRUISTIC for the university to be concerned about its own interests in keeping students and faculty safe from dangerous felons. It would have been unaltruistic to treat a criminal as a criminal, since the paramount consideration is supposed to be, not his character, but his acute need for the job.
An even more egregious example occurred at the Honeywell Corporation in Minnesota. There, an employee strangled to death a co-worker, his girlfriend, and was sent to prison for four-and-a-half years. Several weeks after his release the company took him back — only to have him murder another co-worker, who was spurning his romantic overtures. Explaining the decision to re-employ him, a Honeywell spokesman said: “The philosophy we have is that we don’t discriminate when it comes to hiring practices.”
It is true that employers may fear being sued for illegal discrimination if they reject such applicants. But the legal constraints themselves are simply the manifestation of altruism, of its mandate that we SACRIFICE everything, including our moral principles, for the sake of someone in need.” – “In Defense of Selfishness: Why the Code of Self-Sacrifice is Unjust and Destructive” by Peter Schwartz
We’ll soon hear from Hanoi Jane, hideously ugly and vastly overrated Jew hater Vanessa Redgrave, flatulent and malodorous land whale Michael Moore, Susan Sarandon, Emma Watson and Roger Waters. Why do celebrities, most of whom are actually quite stupid, suppose their opinions are of signal importance to the public?
Back in 2008, a pole dancing bimbo named Pippa Bacca put on a wedding dress & began hitch hiking from Milan to “Palestine”.
Her naive goal was to show a wedding/union of peace between all nations.
She was found naked, brutally raped, and with her throat slit. Guess the religion-of-peace preferred bachelorhood.
If they knew anything about the treatment of women by those Islamic Stoneage cretins they would not support Hamas at all
One video showed a young, blonde Israeli girl being moved from the back of an ATV vehicle into the back seat. Her hands were handcuffed behind her back. She was barefoot and wearing sweat pants. The back of her pants became visible as she turned to be stuffed into the car. It was obvious that she had been anally raped with something that had caused serious injury: the back of her torn pants were soaked in what appeared to be blood and fecal matter.
That video haunts me and fills me with murderous rage.
That’s really gross. I’m glad I didn’t see the video. You can’t unwatch something like that.
You’re a cuck; a dupe.
You mean “crazy” idiot
I will pray for Palestinians. I will pray the IDF kills them all.
What you see are the “useful idiots’ who support the so called “religion of peace”
Arrest, indict and extradite those criminals to face trial in Israel as “financiers of terrorism”.
Israel will grant them representation, a fair and speedy trial and a swift and just execution.
We could only wish.
The street-trash chanting “gas the jews” in NY need to be included on that extradition.
Or we could just catapult them across into Mexico. (One way to build a wall south of the Rio Grande.)
Or we could just drop them where they stand.
Why can’t the Shia & the Sunni just stick to killing each other ?
I posted a remark yesterday saying something similar. Isreal’s border with Hamas was too easily breached. Israel has some of the brightest intelligence operatives in the world, yet we see dozons of armed paragliders just dropping in an open-air concert, guns ablazing. I cannot accept that no one anywhere knew anything and this just happened. The CIA? I’m not sure, but something is not right.
I agree. How did these terrorists get to come in without anyone noticing! Something is very wrong in the intelligence community.
According to this morning’s Zero Hedge, Israeli intelligence monitored the massing of troops and wargames for weeks before the invasion. Here’s the article:
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2023-10-10/evidence-mounts-israeli-intelligence-allowed-hamas-attack-occur
Well, hamas did round up and execute at least a score of “collaborators,” over the last month or two. Some of them had to be Israeli humint.
DNR past first paragraph, BS meter pegged. Code pink’s founders are communists, they aren’t anti war, and they just proved it yet again. They sent supplies to al qaida in Iraq,
I can only assume the ‘Code Pink’ crowd who think abortion is their method of birth control it is impossible to even care that babies being murdered by cutting off their heads, or gutting pregnant women is OK.
When they should have been horrified and unable to sleep like others they are out once again parading themselves as if they are ‘normal’. They are not. They are a shame to the world.
Doesn’t Code Pink understand that THEY WOULD BE THE FIRST TO BE KILLED in a
terror attack by the barbarians???!!!!
I will pray for the peace of Jerusalem & for the Jewish people there & abroad.
