Ben, I think it's too easy to write this off simply as "anti-Semitism." Yes Hamas is even more bloodthirsty and evil than the SS and are motivated entirely by their hatred of Jews. But the people defending them are worse. They hurl accusations of "Nazi" at the drop of a hat yet worship and extol Hamas - the authors of this depravity. Of course anti-Semitism is insane but this is a much deeper insanity It is a hatred of all that it good and civilized and decent in this world. It is anti-humanism. And if Jews are a symbol of a people who persevere because they believe in God and justice and decency, then they must be hated and destroyed by the progressives who worship depravity on an unimaginable scale and call it "social justice." I didn't think it was possible to revile them any more than I do, and then I saw them celebrating and making excuses for evil. In some ways worse than the Gaza butchers themselves. No more temporizing with the left.

Ben is not writing it off as simple anti-Semitism. He is saying it is ordained and I think he is right. Which is not to say that we should just meekly accept the terrorism and their supporters.

You may be correct and I was certainly not criticizing Ben. I was just pointing out that calling them anti-Semites doesn't even begin to plumb the depths of their depravity. In hating the Jews in this manner they are hating humanity, itself.

Oh I agree. I think the barbarity has been laid bare for all to see. It is indeed Biblical.

I agree with what you said but progressives is a misnomer. They are not progressive! How can anyone who preaches hate be progressive and the Dem/Soc preach hatred and have been preaching it for decades.

These people see dead Jews as "progress." That's the rub. Evil incarnate.

Progressivism is a deadly ideology which we are observing in full blown color & view. There’s good and bad, the dichotomy is that clear. There’s nothing good about Progressivism. These decolonizers, the Squad, intolerant university heads are hateful, destructive people and should be avoided and ostracized. What’s astonishing is that the majority of Jews, of which understandably most are now secular vote for such terror and government malfeasance.

I ask my Jewish friends, "How can a Jew vote Dem/SOC?" They just shake their heads and say they don't know.

Because they are social justice warriors who know nothing about history or their own religion and I speak as a member of the tribe with most of my family who vote D. i woke up in my 40s and stopped spouting the leftist bs and started paying attention

How true the old chestnut “ if you aren’t liberal at 20 you have no heart but if not conservative at 40 you have no brain “

I think the root of the problem is there is no longer a shared definition of good and bad.

Anyone who cannot define the killing of 4 year old girls because they are "oppressors" as BAD, isn't a person, but an animal.

But animals almost never kill for pleasure.

These fiends are not "animals." They are the definition of evil.

Observant Jews and Christians know the difference.

I'm an atheist and I know the difference....this is a fight between not good and bad, but against what is truly evil. The left has become the party that kills babies, lets junkies shoot up to die in the street and now vacillates on whether it's justified to kidnap children and the elderly. They are EVIL.

But that is still the battle - good versus evil. I am glad you are in the fight.
