"Or: Is something else also at work? Are these female protestors for Hamas so afraid of freedom and so ill-equipped to handle it that they have chosen to appease and support the most dangerous demons on earth by supporting them?" PC

Have you noticed that young women all across America are demonstrating for Hamas, Iran, and Palestine? Why would such privileged and educated women, the heirs to the #MeToo movement and to Second and Third Wave Western feminisms, cheer for male rapists and male killers, arguably the most blood-thirsty and sadistic misogynists this side of Ghenghis Khan? Why side with Islamist barbarians who have jailed, tortured, and executed their own women over a slipped Islamic veil, and who would forcibly convert their Western female admirers to Islam, veil them as well, and coerce them into polygamous marriages?"They are privileged political opportunists posturing as victim-pariahs who feel that they are “occupied” by Western patriarchy.
"Do these educated daughters of affluence understand that were they to express any views deemed dissident in Gaza, Teheran, or Kabul or, were they to announce that they were “queer” or gay, (which is how some of these activists identify themselves), that they would be instantly honor killed?
"In the months since 10/7, in addition to the odious, faux-feminist silence about the gang-rapes of both women and men, the torture of babies and whole families, the kidnapping of civilians — a terrifying tsunami of hatred towards Israel, America, and Jews has exploded into non-stop jihadi-style, belligerent mobs, whose goal is to disrupt civil society and gain both attention and followers for their reprehensible views. The news of Hamas’s pogrom on steroids, unleashed their Jew hatred, and whetted the mob’s appetite for more of same.
"Post Iran’s most recent attack on Israel, in the past few days in New York City, where I live, such activists camped out on the lawn at Columbia University “for Gaza,” “for Hamas,” endangering Jewish students, daring to be arrested. For the first time, Columbia’s President actually had them arrested. Although they were all quickly released, many returned later that same night, with celebrities in tow, to re-constitute their encampment.
"Those who were detained, included the daughter of Democratic Congresswoman and “Squad” member, Ilhan Omar; a young female intern for New York State Attorney General Letitia James; a third young woman who is about to intern for Democratic Senator Dick Durbin; and two daughters of corporate titans. Three of the five are Columbia students.
"Are they stupid? Has their indoctrination into politically correct narratives utterly blinded them to reality? Do they wish to die? How are we meant to understand this?
"Well, some women are famously known to propose marriage to convicted male serial killers, who primarily kill women. One woman actually married the jailed monster, Ted Bundy, got herself impregnated by him, and gave birth to a daughter.
"Maybe this is a familiar form of female ambition, that Beauty can tame the Beast — an even darker version of “Fifty Shades of Gray,” in which girls are attracted to Bad Boys who will, fairy-tale style, ultimately love and marry them.
"On the other hand, and rather paradoxically, the body language of these BLM/Antifa-style female activists is often rather male-like. Most of the female demonstrators are loud, aggressive, angry, arrogant, and young; they shout, bang drums, blow whistles, wear face masks, keffiyehs, sneakers, or combat boots. While Arab Muslim girls in hijab do participate, the majority seem to be bareheaded Caucasian students, and self-identifying lesbian, queer, and transgender activists.
"The Jews and queers among them are not “self-hating” Jews or persecuted queers. Rather, they are privileged political opportunists posturing as victim-pariahs who feel that they are “occupied” by Western patriarchy, just as Palestine has allegedly been occupied by Israel. They are more obsessed with the rights of a country that has never existed than with the rights of their Muslim “sisters.” . . .
How does anyone explain liberal Jews? - American Thinker . . ."Think of politicians of Jewish heritage such as Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff, or Bernie Sanders. Think of Jewish-origin billionaire oligarchs such as George Soros, Howie Schultz, or Mark Zuckerberg; think of Jewish Hollywood icons such as Barbra Streisand and Rob Reiner. Think of a powerful union leader such as Randi Weingarten, or highly placed Cabinet officials such as Antony Blinken, Alejandro Mayorkas and Merrick Garland, and the list is endless.
" Because of their visibility and mostly negative impact, when the world is in turmoil, the need to find a scapegoat rises and history has proven Jews are an easy source/target upon which the world can project its fears and concerns.
"Specific to America, I believe the rise in antisemitism is directly related to the fact that neo-Marxists have penetrated virtually every institution upon which our republic rests, and the results have proven both financially a disaster but also a societal one and Jews are a convenient source to blame.They are largely professionals and thus, have significant visibility.". . . .
Biden abandons American Jews - CarolineGlick.com "Biden’s halt on offensive weapons to Israel is of course a betrayal of Israel. But it is also a betrayal of American Jews. By standing with Hamas against Israel, Biden is telling the anti-Semitic rioters on campuses to keep up their assaults on Jews. "I have details and updates on the state of the war in Gaza and the implications of Biden’s effective cessation of the U.S.-Israel alliance on the latest IN FOCUS." . . .
