How Liberals Let Antisemitism Happen Here COMMENTARY By J. Peder ZaneDecember 08, 2023 How Liberals Let Antisemitism Happen HereAP I wish I had more sympathy for liberals shocked by the apologias and celebrations of barbarity their progressive brethren have issued in response to Hamas’ slaughter of Israeli civilians on Oct. 7.

But liberals share great responsibility for the antisemitic eruptions on many college campuses and the streets of major cities by allowing left-wing ideologues to hijack their politics and their children – for turning conservatives into Cassandras by refusing to heed our warnings about the ongoing assault on truth and justice.

These same wounded souls offered no resistance as the Democratic Party tripled down on identity politics in recent years, assigning Americans to specific groups and then pitting them against one another. They stood by as the left falsely trashed America as a hotbed of hatred, white supremacy, and Christian nationalism. Now Jews are also somehow the bad guys.

Liberals continue to subscribe to fearmongering publications such as the Washington Post, the Atlantic and the New York Times which routinely compare Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler and warn that he plans to rule as a dictator if he wins in 2024.

They have supported Democratic prosecutors who have weaponized the criminal justice system by filing 91 felony charges against the former president, most of which are flimsy, some of them absurd.

They cheered the Department of Justice’s years-long fishing expedition based on Hillary Clinton’s slander that Trump stole the 2016 victory by colluding with Vladimir Putin. Once that hoax was exposed, they were happy to see Trump become the third president in history to be impeached merely for asking Ukraine’s president to look into the Biden family’s shady dealings in that country.

National Socialist Workers Party. That who the left is, except those who are communists.

You’d think they would be more affectionate towards the people that introduced communism to the world

I agree, they are not classical liberals though that is what they call themselves these days. They are socialists and communists.

When working on a house you need to know the difference between a structural beam and a faux beam. Freedom of speech and equality under the law are structural beams. The left knocked out thing that will cause the house to come down on top of them. Unfortunately the rest of us are in the same house.

“These people aren’t liberals, they’re leftists”

I think the correct word is “Progressives”.
Moving quickly to Facist
Thomas Jefferson was a Liberal.
Hell, Jimmy Carter was a liberal.
Joe Biden is a Progressive

1. They’re not liberals!!!
They’re communists and nazis and their fellow travelers and Useful Idiots. Almost all are anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, and very anti-liberal in any proper sense of the word. Calling them liberals is like calling black white or calling the Biden family honest patriots or calling HilLIARy a nice genteel lady. Doesn’t compute.
they’re extreme leftists NOT liberals.
2. almost everything they do or advocate weakens America, our economy, our defenses, our cohesion as a society. This is mostly by design, at least among the top level Puppetmeisters, not inadvertence.
given these facts and the left’s patent plan to stay in power forever by any means necessary (including the DNC’s Election Theft Machine, which performed perfectly for them in 2020), any real liberal would fight them to the death.

Just saying. Maintaining accuracy in speech and avoiding the corruption of the language, meaning of words... is a good first step in clarifying the situation and identifying the true problem.

Leftists, NOT liberal. Liberal implies openness and acceptance, traits that the leftists do NOT show.

They didn’t LET it happen; they MADE it happen.

They did not "let it happen" they sought it out, brought it in, welcomed it and insisted it get the best chair in front of the fire.

Socialist do as socialist do and commies will commie.

It is not that hard to figure out.
