The one-eyed Jack American Left has been flipped over, and what turned up proved frightening.
The current radical and often violent protests on mostly blue-state, supposedly elite campuses have exposed in toxic fashion what the left has become. And yet, in a paradoxical fashion, the campus insanity has offered the nation some moral clarity.
What’s surprising is not that the demonstrators are violent and nihilist, but that they are, on the one hand, so openly and crudely anti-Semitic, racist, and anti-American, and yet on the other hand, so passive-aggressive, narcissistic, and weepy.
Nevertheless, the antics of the campus cry-bullies have exploded myths that were for so long foisted on the American people by politicos and the media.
#1. Anti-Israel/Anti-Semitic: We have been lectured ad nauseam that hating Israel has nothing to do with anti-Semitism. The last month has blown up that old shibboleth for good. The left makes no distinction in their eliminationist chants between Israel and Jews. “Go back to Poland” is a homonym for “From the River to the Sea.” Both are shorthand for eliminating Jews—aside from the explicit threats to kill Jews and occasional praise for Hitler and the Final Solution.
When pro-Hamas thugs chase Jews into libraries, block their entrances on campus, and scream “beat the Jew” as they hit piñatas, they do not first ask Jews whether they support Israel—because they could care less. For the Islamist Middle Easterner on a student visa or green card and his useful American student, it is enough that their targets are Jewish—period.
Remember, the protests started on October 7, not on October 27, when the IDF went into Gaza. At that point, campus and street protests merely changed from euphoric triumphalism on the news that Hamas had slaughtered, decapitated, mutilated, raped, or kidnapped hundreds of Jews...

And the left calls MAGA supporters nazis without even a hint of embarrassment.

In The Land of The Blind, The One Eyed Man is King.
Ping.
Inside every liberal is a fascist waiting to get out.
FTA:
“they do not first ask Jews whether they support Israel—because ‘they could care less’.”
Now it’s VDH using “could care less”.
This conflict in English grammar needs addressing...
Do old left wing mythologies ever really end? 50 years later, and we are still debating these people on what causes inflation.
In sum, the disastrous last year of the Biden presidency has ripped off the left’s disingenuous veneer. On matters of the Middle East, most protestors on American soil do not distinguish hating Israel from hating Jews. They are unapologetically pro-Hamas, not just pro-Palestinian but pro-terrorist. And the Democrat Party seems fine with all that.
An excellent essay on the Left - and the DNC. It's not your parents DNC.

“cry bullies”
Great description. I was looking for the right words to describe them..other than leftards
that is.
Wow - the amount of miracle cure ads you have to scroll past on his site is over the top.
I couldn’t care less.
We need to stop debating these people or even consider them to have any voice in matters affecting the United States.
Their actions, words and opinions are no more valuable than those jihadists who danced in the streets on 9/11.
These people must be shunned, denied and ignored.
They have every right to protest and hold their opinions, but we have no obligation to give those opinions any value.
Please add me to the list😎

All this while left wing idiots on MSNBC refer to conservative Americans as 'fascists'.
“Now it’s VDH using “could care less”.
I spotted that too. Sigh. Well we all know what he means.
So they just speak out, with little idea of what they are actually implying. For those doing this who are actually college students, they were either indoctrinated, or have little idea of what their “college education was supposed to be about. I am not college-educated, yet I feel that my high school education was worth more than what they are getting from many of the colleges.
