I wonder how many of these people have any idea what they are protesting for. I think most are just there because they got an invitation on social media to go have some fun being a huge pain in the butt to everyone else and they had nothing better to do. They might even get a few bucks apiece for their effort.

Have you read Timothy Mitchell? The reason for dictatorship and terrorism in the region is Western imperialism starting from Iran to Iraq to Afghanistan to Egypt

The problem I see with Palestine is that 50% or so of their population is teens and young adults. They’ve likely been indoctrinated since toddlers that the west, Christianity, Israel and Judaism are the enemies. Some of those young people don’t toe the line but how do we deal with brainwashed young people with high unemployment, low standard of existence and minimal eduction?

The Nazis ultimately got what they deserved. They were destroyed. The Hamas islamonazis are getting what they deserve and will get some more shortly. These are not people to reason with. They are murderous cretins and the people who support them are sick losers.

The West is committing suicide by letting this garbage ideology proliferate. It won’t stop with Israel. These assholes are not interested in peaceful coexistence. They understand one thing - overwhelming force. God Bless America. Am Yisrael Chai.

What a well written and well thought out article! I'm subscribing

Perhaps on the adjacent anti-Semitic Left a better example is Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, head of the Progressive Caucus in the House, who minimized the rapes of Israeli women and tried to deflect the answer towards Gaza.

Anti-Semitic, anti-Western, anti-Woman

“The last thing this world needs is one more dictatorial terrorist state whose founding principle is genocidal slaughter.”

Bingo!

I saw the typical adjacent type in the Whole Foods parking lot with the standard “Free Palestine” sticker on her Prius, and I thought “free to do what?” March in Pride parades? Reach Net Zero? Etc. I doubt it.

Your statement quoted above sums it up. “Free” to rampage and kill at will and to impose Islam and usher in a new dark age — that's what.

It's not anti-Semitism it's anti-Whitism.

Unpopular opinion: then don't call her an antisemite. This is a signal case of "show don't tell." Just give all the examples of her political idiocy, which surely add up to antisemitism, but don't use the word.

This is NOT giving in, it's not being sneaky, it's a debating tactic. Because antisemites are great at dragging everything into the weeds.

They'll say that Arabs are Semites, and you end up going into a boring speech about 19th century Vienna and the coinage of the phrase/word "anti-Semite" (or however you spell it).

Meanwhile your energy oozes away.

Just punch her in the guts. Calling her names allows her to slink away.

Exactly right - they got rid of communism and morphed into post-modernism.

That is the key to the idiocy.
