Everyone is cheering the frat boys in pastel-colored blouses and shorts for saving the flag at an anti-Israel protest at UNC-Chapel Hill. People donated almost a half-million bucks to the Greeks so they could celebrate with a rager. Instapundit linked a tweet to a video of another frat boy confrontation at LSU.
The tweet said, “All they had to do was not mess with our flag.”
Really?
That’s all the Hamas supporters had to do?
My fact check is that this is sadly true. The support of terrorism was not the concern of most people. What upset them was taking down our flag. The calls for the obliteration of Israel and the extermination of all Jews do not bother most people.
Americans today are too comfortable with the destruction caused by terrorists. Pushing little old ladies into incoming subway trains no longer outrages Americans. A dozen more black men are gunned down each day but it only matters if a policeman holds the gun.
Hamas has taken Americans hostage. Where is that pathetic housewife Michelle Obama with her duckbill pout and hashtag sign?
Remember? Politico reported 10 Mays ago,
“When international outrage over the kidnapping of more than 200 Nigerian girls reached fever pitch last week, the Obama administration’s most headline-grabbing public condemnation didn’t come from the Oval Office, the State Department or the Pentagon, but from an unlikelier address: the East Wing, with the unusual emergence of Michelle Obama.”
Nigerian lives matter, Americans don’t — unless they are black and shot by a cop.
Where is Alyssa Milano? Remember? NBC reported nearly 6 years ago,
“On the afternoon of Oct. 15, 2017, the actress Alyssa Milano tweeted a request to her followers: ‘If you’ve been sexually harassed or assaulted write me too as a reply to this tweet.’
“The results were overwhelming.
“Within 24 hours, her post generated thousands of replies, comments and retweets and inspired thousands more original posts on social media, with women and men from around the world sharing personal stories. Among the celebrities who responded were Lady Gaga, Viola Davis, Javier Muñoz and Evan Rachel Wood.”
Did Me Too only apply to celebrities? Did Believe All Women cover only those with a SAG or AFTRA card? Was it just another country club that keeps Jews out?
And how about those Handmaid’s Tale protesters, where are they now?
Remember? The Boston Globe reported 2 Mays ago, “Abortion rights protesters, led by women dressed as handmaids, gather at State House.”
Their tale is the same. (Insert name of Republican) is going to force women to give birth to babies they don’t want.
That never happens. But what actually happened in Israel was horrific. Palestinians raped hundreds of women on October 7. Where is the outcry?
Over the decades, the media has villainized Israel.
Decades of AP shielding Palestinian terrorists have worked. AP’s offices in Gaza City protected a Palestinian military headquarters from Israeli counterattacks. AP used Palestinian propagandists as reporters and photographers. Victims of the latest horrific attack are suing AP. I hope they get trillions and bankrupt the terrorist news organization. When you sleep with terrorists, you become one.
Let us review.
On October 7, hundreds of Palestinian soldiers in civilian attire, launched 5,000 rockets and attacked Jewish civilians in Israel. The soldiers raped hundreds of women. They tortured people. They murdered people. They mutilated their bodies. They put babies in ovens.
A world that said never again in reaction to the industrialized genocide of Jews by Nazis in World War II yawned to this barbaric and savage attack.
“Israel was plunged into chaos Saturday after the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a deadly land, air and sea attack inside the country, with fighters infiltrating the southern border and firing a massive barrage of rockets from the Gaza Strip.
“‘We are in a war,’ Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared in a video on social media. He ordered strikes on Gaza and called for an ‘extensive reserve mobilization’ as the nation responds to the unprecedented incursion.
“Over 200 Israelis have been killed and more than 1,200 were injured, a spokesperson for Israel Defense Forces said. The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza said Sunday that 313 people were killed, including 20 children, and about 1,990 were injured.”
Palestinians cheered the attack, which was how they celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, which Arabs also launched in 1973. That war came a year after the original 9/11 — the Palestinian terrorist attack and murder of 11 Israeli athletes in the Munich Olympics.
Where was the outrage? Where were the demands to expel Palestinian students? Where were the demands that colleges and pension funds divest their stock portfolios of companies that support Palestinians? For crying out loud, the rape and murder victims could not get something as little as Ben and Jerry demanding their old company stop selling ice cream in Gaza.
Must I quote Martin Niemöller’s poem?
Instead of immediately denouncing Hamas and their Palestinian supporters, the FJB administration’s first response was to try to rein in Israel.
Within 72 hours of the attack, Politico reported,
“U.S. calls for ‘proportionate’ Israeli response while not openly setting red lines.”
Proportionate?
Fortunately, Israel ignored Democrats and did not send soldiers in to rape and murder Palestinians. Instead it methodically destroyed the military fortress hidden below Gaza City. Palestinians staged horrors. The world press ate it up.
If you rely on your “smart phone,” for news you probably don’t even know that Hamas killed babies, raped women, murdered men, took hundreds of hostages.
Google is throttling more news thru phones than you’d imagine.
You really have to already know about many things to ever find them thru a Google phone search.
So, our collective ignorance.
The “narrative” is being shaped by elites who hate Jews and Israel.
These students are bowed down, eyes on phone screens, thinking they know everything when all they know is what Big Brother wants them to know.
The entire world ignores the rape, torture and slaughter of thousands and thousands of Christians, like it isnt happening at all. Did the Jews raise their voice for them? Do they lament and send in arms and troops?
The religion of peace is the same everywhere across the middle east.
What we have is a violent, uncivil, irrational, unlawful, America-hating leftist mob and you have people who are civil, polite, law-abiding, patriotic citizens. The law abiding citizens have to be pushed over the edge, as they were January 6th when the Capital Police opened fire on a peaceful crowd. Free speech does not, and should not, push people over the edge (though it can). But, the tolerance can be worn down and the rage against the vile, violent left build up.
There is ample outrage. We should allow the IDF to do its job and exterminate Hamas. Let the IDF deliver the “Final Solution” to those that threaten the Jews and the Jewish state. We should aid and assist wherever we can, but they need very little. My rage flows through the IDF.
Why did Trump’s puppets block aid to Israel for nearly 6 months?
Why did they block aid to Ukraine when Ukraine was retaking lost territory?
He’s STILL on the DNC payroll, just like fat turd Bragg and Merchan.
Why wouldn’t the Democrats simply do their SWORN DUTY and secure our southern border? Now Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden sides with Hamas because he’s afraid of that stinking pig Tlaib.
