Even as American hostages remained in peril, the beheaded torsos of innocent civilians were collected from Israeli streets and Hamas and Tehran celebrated the bloodletting, many liberals in America were still trying to express empathy for the attackers.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib flew a Palestinian flag outside her official congressional office, while Rep. Ilhan Omar suggested Israel's counteroffensive might be a 'war crime.' Biden's secretary of state tweeted, then deleted a call for a 'ceasefire' just as Israel ramped up its rescue missions. The U.S. Department of State's Palestinian Affairs Office literally implored Israel to 'refrain' from 'retaliatory attacks' before reversing course. On the streets of liberal cities and the campuses of left-leaning universities like Harvard, many even suggested Israel deserved blame for Hamas' attacks.

Security experts said the weekend attacks exposed the peril of a decade-long Democrat pursuit of an elusive deal to end Iran's nuclear and terrorist activities combined with a romanticism in liberal academic and political circles of a Palestinian "struggle."


One needs look no further than tony college campuses - dominated by the left - such as Haaahvaad, Stanford, Yale, etc. to find endless support for "freedom in Palestine" complete with chants of "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free". This kind of cozying up to obviously radical and dangerous elements has become de rigueur chic amongst the left wing intelligentsia for decades.

A side effect of the Masks Coming Off is the exposure of various left wing groups' refusal to live up to their so-called "principles". In other words, left wing groups gonna left wing group: they're there to be partisan publicity generation machines and not for any altrustic purpose.

Take the Southern Poverty Law Center. For years it's hounded every last group that disagreed with left-wing orthdoxy and has even labeled parents' groups concered with their kids' education as "hate groups", leveraging their credibility to destroy reputations in the process. But now that we have celebrated left-wing groups such as BLM and dozens of student-led organizations on very left wing college campuses openly supporting Hamas, what do they say?

Nothing, that's what.

SPLC Won't Say Whether It Plans To Designate Left-Wing Groups Supporting Slaughter In Israel As Hate Groups

Pro tip: If you're using an image of a Hamas terrorist on a paraglider as your symbol of solidarity, you're probably a hate group.

But it gets even better. This is the curriculum they've been pushing out to schools:
https://www.learningforjustice.org/

They even have a section that's now behind a password
https://www.learningforjustice.org/login?destinati...

"Resources for learning about Israel and Palestine"

What did it say?
https://thenationaldesk.com/news/americas-news-now...

Dr. Dianne Kelly, the superintendent of Revere Public Schools, sent an email titled "Racism and Anti-Semitism" to district staff Monday, according to a copy obtained by advocacy group Parents Defending Education (PDE). In the email, Kelly points staff to teaching resources from Learning for Justice, a program under the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The link provided takes staff members to a page on Learning for Justice's website. The page, published in May 2021, states that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict "connects to imperialism and other oppressive systems" that educators are encouraged to "name and address with students."


Uh, huh. What else?

A resource included on the Learning for Justice page leads educators to an external page titled "Terrorism and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict." That page, written by a professor at the University at Buffalo, states "my central argument is that, contrary to the standard mythology, especially in Israel, Israeli terrorism has been significantly worse than that of the Palestinians."

"In particular, the truth should make it clear that Israel has neither the moral legitimacy nor the national interest to refuse to negotiate with Palestinian organizations that have employed terrorism, particularly Hamas, without whose participation there is no chance for a compromise settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," the page continues.


If you pay attention you know that the SLPC is a complete sham outfit, but even I didn't know they were *this* bad.

Dope1: One needs look no further than tony college campuses...

One need look no further than Donald Trump, who immediately blamed Israel and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "He was not prepared. He was not prepared, and Israel was not prepared."

Interesting.
No comment at all about what's come out of the woodwork (of course, all of us knew it all along, but some are still in strong denial). Comes with the territory: I've always said that leftists lie to themselves before they lie to all of us.

Certain people don't seem to mind this from the Left, and continue to support the Left.
