The cruelty of the Left

. . ."Yet, the immediate response in so many colleges and universities was not to condemn the killings, the torture, the humiliations, or the kidnappings. The response was to praise Hamas while criticizing the victim of the slaughter. Equally disturbing is the fact that these rallies were not confined to institutions of higher learning. Large pro-Hamas rallies have taken place in major U.S. cities this week, the streets echoing the bloodlust articulated in the halls of academia."

      "The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant, it's just that they know so             much that isn't so," Ronald Reagan once quipped of his political opponents.

. . ."Indeed, from the way the Left responds to natural disasters in red states, one gets the sense that they are cruel, that they delight not only in the suffering of their ideological opponents but also in their deaths. From the way the Left comported itself during the COVID-19 pandemic, one gets the distinct impression that they are hateful. And now, with left-wingers cheering Hamas’s murder of Israeli civilians, one gets the sense that members of the Left are just plain bad people.

For years, it was easy for generous-minded conservatives to reject the idea that liberals are evil, arguing that the thesis relied entirely on the unhinged behavior of the Left’s most radical fringes. But what was once a bug is now a feature. Take, for example, how left-wing students and academics in the United States responded this week to news of the slaughter of 1,300 Israeli civilians, including infants, women, and the elderly, by Palestinian terrorists on Oct. 7.

"At Harvard, an incredible 34 student organizations published a joint statement saying the "apartheid regime" of Israel "is the only one to blame … for the murders." At Georgetown University, student activists held a vigil on Oct. 12 for the Hamas "martyrs" who died in the attacks. At the vigil, students handed out literature that praised the slaughter as a "tangible" step toward "decolonization." Elsewhere in the Washington, D.C., area, George Washington University students likewise held a "Vigil for the Martyrs of Palestine," mourning specifically the terrorists killed in last weekend’s actions.

"At the University of Virginia, the campus’s Students for Justice in Palestine chapter released a statement saying it "unequivocally supports Palestinian Liberation and the right of colonized people everywhere to resist the occupation of their land by whatever means necessary." At Northwestern University, Students for Justice in Palestine issued a statement arguing Israel is not "the aggrieved party." The group’s chapters at Arizona State University, the University of Arizona, Butler University in Indiana, the University of Louisville in Kentucky, the University of Binghamton in New York, and the University of Virginia plan to join in a nationwide “day of resistance" aimed at "dismantling Zionism.'
