A lethal hatred of Jews, Israel, and the West

 Darlene Casella - American Thinker

Evil actions such as rape, torture, mutilation, hostage-taking, and murder of Jews with vows to continue are met with shrugs and resignation rather than outrage and condemnation.

"Atlas Shrugged, the novel by Ayn Rand, warned us about the controlling “mind of society,” a place where talented free thinkers disappear.

Marvin Minsky, about 50 years ago, wrote about a society of one mind, where a multitude of small thinking entities fundamentally control the minds of civilization.

A Collective Descent into Evil, a documentary film produced by Gloria Greenfield, deserves to be in the same class with conceptual thinkers Rand and Minsky.

Scholars and historians such as journalist Melanie Phillips, Ruth Wisse (Harvard University), Eric Cohen (Tikvah Fund), Alan Dershowitz, Jonathan Schanzer (Foundation for Defense of Democracies), Itamar Marcus (Palestinian Media Watch), Jonathan Tobin (Jewish News Syndicate), Mark Tapson (David Horowitz Freedom Center), Daniel Pipes (Middle East Forum), historian Victor Davis Hanson, and others give testament in the film to the premise that in our time, Jew-hatred is upheld and not eradicated.

Evil actions such as rape, torture, mutilation, hostage-taking, and murder of Jews with vows to continue are met with shrugs and resignation rather than outrage and condemnation.

Greenfield leaves nothing unturned in displaying society’s graphic descent into evil.  Important and interesting archival photography is intertwined with the dialogue of scholars, adding depth of visual understanding to the film’s premise about evil and hatred in culture, in society, and in politics." . . .More...

Brandon Gill, Angel Moms Just Level Hank Johnson for 'Disgusting' Claim During Sanctuary City Hearing

 Sister Toldjah - RedState   

"There are some stories out there to write about where little input from the writer is needed for the point to be made, because the subjects of the stories tell it so much better themselves. This is one of those stories. The only thing I'm going to do is set the stage.

 

"On Thursday, the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing, where the subject to be discussed was "The Human Toll of Sanctuary Policies: Stories from Victims and Families."  

"There were four witnesses. The Democrat witness was attorney Antonio Romanucci, whose law firm, Romanucci & Blandin LLC, is representing the family of Renee Good. After expressing condolences to the other witnesses, Romanucci described Ms. Good as someone whose death was "collateral damage" from ICE "rounding up black and brown people [and] terrorizing them."

"The other three witnesses were Angel Moms who had children who were victimized by criminal illegal immigrants as a result of sanctuary city policies. Laura Wilkerson's son, Joshua, was murdered by an illegal immigrant. Jen Heiling lost her son, Brady, in a car accident that also claimed the life of his girlfriend, Hallie Helgeson. Mrs. Heiling said they were killed by an intoxicated illegal immigrant who was a repeat traffic offender. 

"Patricia Fox is the mother of Carissa Aspnes, who was riding on the back of a friend's motorcycle when a car driven by an illegal immigrant crossed over several lanes of Denver traffic, causing the motorcycle to hit it and causing Carissa to be thrown into a concrete barrier. Fortunately, Carissa survived but is now "minimally conscious, nonverbal," and has to be fed through a feeding tube. She requires 24-7 care.

"Gallingly, Democrat Rep. Hank "Guam" Johnson (GA-04) characterized the hearing as a theatrical production whose sole purpose was to stir up "bias and prejudice against immigrants who are people of color," and even suggested it should be about other topics. He also complained about the seating order for the witnesses:

After offering brief condolences to the families of victims allegedly killed and critically injured by illegal immigrants, Johnson immediately pivoted to a partisan attack, arguing the committee should instead be holding hearings on the "human toll" of the "Trump MAGA tax cuts," Trump's foreign policy with Iran or the "cover up of the Epstein files."

He went on to list a string of violent crimes committed by White men and noted the death of Renee Good, who was killed by federal authorities in January while protesting immigration enforcement.

"I'm not minimizing the tragedy that is before us today with you three women, but the other tragedies at the hands of non-immigrants are just as important," Johnson said.

"Not surprisingly, it did not go well for Johnson, with GOP Rep. Brandon Gill (TX-26) being the first to go off:" . . . More...
