I’ve heard this all before. Then the shooting stops for a while, and things go back to normal.

“People need to be reminded that Arabs entering Israel from time to time and murdering families has been going on for decades. Always in the past on a much smaller scale.”

That’s part of the reason why it did not take 1000 DEAD JEWS for our side to realize that Palestinians were bad people, very bad. We saw the smaller stuff and the support it had on the ‘Arab Street’, and it wasn’t hard for us to draw conclusions.

Right behind the high IQ, big education intellectual leftists that have assisted, enabled and/or ignored every human atrocity the last 125yrs-they happen to be largely as white as us.

Welcome to the party, pal.

Thats because they are mostly JINO’s.

The funny thing is that most of these liberal Boomer Jews were perfectly pious in their synagogues. They just had a plan for a multi-racial, diversity-enriched, pornography-drenched, mongrel marriage America that they imagined would never bleed over into Israel.

"Good for you but not for us."

And yet, when I saw the carnage at the EDM festival, I saw a whole bunch of Zoomer Jews with tattoos, manbuns, etc. that would've been previously forbidden to the likes of Larry Summers.

You’re right. Divide the world, while keep Israel homogeneous.

American Jews, who are overwhelmingly liberal, have often supported social justice movements. Simonds said while most progressive leaders have offered support, he feels betrayed by others on the left who have not.

Simmonds is shocked that most leftists are consistent.

Most leftists consistently hate what they see as "whiteness, colonialism, Western culture, capitalism," etc.

Liberal Jews were hoping for a "Jewish exception." It's okay to hate all those things, except when it pertains to Israel or Jews.

Alas for liberal Jews, the left sees Jews as white, not as "victims of whiteness."

There's this weird state of schadenfreude that I'm experiencing right now.

I love Israel and want them to rain bloody hell upon the <70 IQ neanderthals that occupy Gaza.

Honestly, they could kill every last one of them and I wouldn't lose a minute's sleep.

Yet at the same time, watching all these high-earning liberal Boomer Jews in America recoil at the monster that they've created... F*** them.

Liberals thought they could create the society they want and rule over it. They might be eaten last by what they created, but they will be eaten just the same.

Similar to my thinking.

I feel sorry for Jews in Israel, but am all out of sympathy for leftist University Jews who are unhappy about pro Hamas campus support.

These people have been cheering on campus leftism for decades, as well as pushing for maximum “diversity”, unlimited immigration and all the rest of it.

Now they are all mad that the countries of the West that they created have turned on them.

You bought the ticket, @ssholes ! Enjoy the ride !

I’m shocked, shocked I tell you, that a party that has two leading spokespeople like Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib might be a touch antisemetic.

Absolutely. When there are people of little to no conscience, evil happens to good people.

Democrats have always been racists. They are the party of slavery, The Civil War, Jim Crow, racial segregation, etc. They only recently have been able to fool enough Americans that they are the non biased paragons of equality.

Poor lamb. It felt so good and righteous to make common cause with other simpletons, and now he has the sads

Israel has the same problem with leftists as America does, even living next door to to the persistent threat of annihilation.

That treatise on liberalism being a mental disease is not inaccurate.
