For the past several years, the academic left has been all over the media announcing to the world that words can be violent, free speech has limits and hate speech is violence. Since October 7th-when Palestinian terrorists attacked Israeli civilians, millions of people around the globe have protested in support of the Palestinians. Rather than proportionately saving their money to buy airplanes with laser-guided bombs so that they could avoid civilian deaths (like the Israelis do), the terrorists sought out civilians, captured them, tortured them, executed them, dismembered bodies, and kidnapped hundreds. This lack of proportional military action didn’t bother the Palestinian people or their supporters. They’ve been on the streets of major cities ever since. Even here in the United States, many of these protesters have attacked people walking on the street or driving their cars. There are several videos of college Jews being trapped in a library by an angry mob of terrorist supporters. Others are attacked for walking on campus.
Why do we permit this? There are zero differences between an Al Queda terrorist, an ISIS terrorist, or a Hamas terrorist. In fact, given the thousands of suicide bombings done by Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist groups, they likely have the highest body count, and the highest number of atrocities. Would the NYC police let thousands of Al Queda supporters march down the street calling for the extinction of all Jews? Would the Portland or Seattle police let hundreds of ISIS supporters close streets, attack people in cars, and go on vandalism violence (CNN refers to these tactics as “Mostly peaceful protests.”)? Of course, Al Queda and ISIS supporters can’t run free, but Hamas supporters who openly call for violence, for extermination, and who are at best “mostly peaceful”…these people we allow to run the streets?
Franklin D Roosevelt was terribly wrong to set up concentration camps for Japanese Americans. However, if those same people were marching down the streets praising the emperor for killing and capturing so many Americans in the Philippines, then it would have been the right thing to do. Oddly enough Japanese Americans (unlike so many Palestinian Americans) didn’t take to the streets to protest and start violence against the United States or other Americans. Prior to WWII, there was a large fascist, NAZI movement in the US, but on Dec 7, 1941, it evaporated in favor of supporting the US in its fight against evil rather than protesting it. Had 10,000 pro-Hitler American NAZI marched down a street in almost any major city, the populace at large would have risen and left wannabe Germans in ditches. Nope, no newsreels or videos showing either.
President Biden is asleep. He works M-F 12-4, is off mornings, weekends, and evenings, and 40% of the time he’s on vacation. When he’s working, he can’t even follow notecards or a teleprompter. No one is in charge of the executive branch. The legislative branch is filled with partisan hacks and ineffective even on the best of days. No…no one is in charge. We have no leader, and the few people who can do the job are too busy applying and campaigning for it.
Here are the mostly peaceful Palestinian supporters of Hamas, in the streets of the United States, calling for a violent uprising that targets Jews. Isn’t that hate speech? Shouldn’t it be banned? Is calling for a violent uprising, an intifada, itself an act of violence? Surely if a box of white rice that has an African American on it is so hateful, so violent, and so offensive that it has to be banned and hidden…surely these protesters go a smidge further than the box of rice? And then later, the crowd turns violent and attacks Jews. Who is surprised? There are thousands of people at this one protest alone, and yet some dimwit in the White House tells us White Supremacy is a bigger threat than homegrown collegiate-Islamic terrorist wannabes?
These are American children, walking out of school in support of a terrorist group.
People will say, “Supporting the Palestinian people, and Palestine isn’t supporting the terrorists,” but it is. The people of Palestine let Hamas snipe from the kitchen windows, launch rockets from apartment buildings, kidnap people, and use them as human shields, all this and more. The other day Hamas was launching rockets blindly into civilian areas in Israel, but one of the rockets fell short, hit a parking lot next to a hospital, and several people died. The Palestinians-backed by global media claimed that Israel dropped a bomb on the hospital and killed 500 people. Global riots in support of Palestine and Hamas. Then the truth came out, the riots (which killed 9 people and almost made the US evacuate our embassies in Israel and Jordan)…the riots faded. None of the protesters anywhere in the world protested Hamas for launching a missile into the hospital parking lot. Israel=global protest; Hamas=silence. The Palestinian people support Hamas. To them, Hamas is their freedom-fighting group. They support Hamas as if they did Al Queda or ISIS.
On October 7th, some of the Hamas terrorists who invaded Israel and took hostages came back into Gaza. The beds of their pickup trucks had limp hostages in the back. Some were women who had been stripped and raped until bloody. The streets are PACKED with Palestinians who support Hamas terrorists. There is no distinction between the terrorists and their supporters: both are examples of Old Testament evil.
