College says praise of Hamas part of the 'free exchange of diverse ideas and perspectives'

 Eric Utter - American Thinker  "Campus Reform recently reported that the Swarthmore chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) called the Hamas terrorists who butchered thousands of innocent Israelis (and others, including Americans) “martyrs” and affirmed the “right of Palestinian people to resist.” 

"Which reportedly prompted Swarthmore College President Val Smith to issue a statement in which she called the students’ praise of Hamas terror actions examples of the “free exchange of diverse ideas and perspectives” that “we embrace” as a “liberal arts institution.” (Which renders ridiculous Smith’s claim that “hateful rhetoric and calls for violence have no place at Swarthmore.”)

"One post on ‘X’ noted: “Val Smith, president of @swarthmore, calls SJP celebrating the beheading of Israeli babies ‘free exchange of diverse ideas and perspectives’ and refuses to address the organization’s abhorrent post or antisemitism by name.”

"Branding terrorism and the mass murder of innocents nothing but the “free exchange of diverse ideas and perspectives” that a “liberal arts institution” should “embrace” boggles the mind……and sickens the soul.

"By that ”perspective,” the Saudis that flew planes into the World Trade Center and Pentagon were just engaging in the free exchange of diverse ideas, too. As were Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. And Charles Manson. Isn’t diversity grand?! Who’s not pro-diversity? And those terrorists were inclusive and equitable in their attacks, too, rendering nearly 3,000 souls of every color, sex, creed, and class equally dead. Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity, baby! D.I.E.!" . . .

This diverse enough for you?

You Cannot Coexist With Evil -Ted Noel

No sane person would behead babies (unless he’s an abortionist, but I repeat myself). Then, add in raping women in the presence of the bloody bodies of their babies, then killing the women. I don’t care who you are, this is not the act of a civilized entity. It is the act of sub-humans devoted to the service of a false god who demands obedience at the point of a sword. It is pure evil. No words can properly convey how utterly depraved such a god and his followers are. And this is where our compassion must be replaced by cold calculation.

 

Hamas Awakens Celebrities from CNN [and MSNBC] -Induced Coma

 It doesn’t matter who you speak with in Israel -- all members of the political spectrum wished for a peaceful neighbor in the Gaza. That would be impossible to find among Palestinians who elected a ruling body -- Hamas -- whose mentality deserves its rightful place in history as the newly enshrined face of Nazi brutality.

American Thinker   "Hamas is too embroiled in its perverse cycle of barbarity to understand it is perpetuating its own public-relations nightmare. The events of the past week have made it abundantly clear -- even to brainwashed celebrities -- the true nature of Hamas’ endgame.

"They have jolted many of the A-List celebrities out of their CNN-induced comas to condemn the atrocities of Hamas. The violence unleashed by Hamas was best viewed from the vantage point of the terrorists who brazenly filmed or live-streamed their grisly crimes.

"The Nazis attempted to keep a lid on their atrocities, but Hamas had a different strategy in mind. One can only guess at the mentality behind the terrorists picking and choosing the footage to upload on social media: The graphic scenes (some live) ranged from slaughtering entire families, including at least 40 babies and small children, and releasing the most incomprehensible act of beheading some of the children.

"The effects of not seeing this level of barbarity in nearly 80 years has served to help discredit the fraudulent news cycles aired by corporate media giants, chief among them CNN. NPR deserves its place on the list of media propagandists, with Israelis renaming the outlet National Palestinian Radio.

"This tipping point even involves Natalie Portman who in the recent past had refused to attend “any public event in Israel.” The Israeli-born actress has departed from her CNN brainwashed position whereby she strongly condemned the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for its alleged “misconduct and atrocities” toward the Palestinians. She went so far as to refuse the Genesis prize given for professional achievement at a ceremony in Israel in 2018, claiming she didn’t want to appear on stage with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu." . . .

Other celebrities willing to stand with Israel, now numbering 700 in A signed letter -- despite the risk of being ostracized -- include Jewish and non-Jewish personalities: Madonna, U2 frontman Bono, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Andy Cohen, Debra Messing, Amy Schumer, Sarah Silverman, Tom Brady, and others.

U2’s Bono took the artistic liberty to change the lyrics to the group’s hit song “Pride (in the Name of Love) and sing for “those beautiful kids at the music festival,” a reference to the hundreds killed and wounded at the Supernova festival attacked by Hamas.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Tears for Hamas’s Captive Population

 National Review

[Congresschild] "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has devoted much of her attention in the days that followed the worst massacre of Jews in nearly 80 years to the plight of Hamas’s captive population in the Gaza Strip. Beyond the Israelis and Western citizens who are now the explicit hostages of Hamas, the civilians who are implicitly hostage to its brutal rule have suffered the unfortunate consequences of their regime’s attack on civilization. Today, with mere hours remaining before Israel invades the Strip with the likely intention of defanging Hamas once and for all, Ocasio-Cortez demanded that Israel refrain from defending itself and its citizens:

Any person can see that ordering 1+ million people to move in under 24 hours is not possible. It is unacceptable.

The UN has already deemed the order “impossible” without “devastating humanitarian consequences.”

Humanity is at stake. Nearly half are children. We must halt this https://t.co/DRMGjJfZZI

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) October 13, 2023

"Ocasio-Cortez’s sympathies are misplaced. Israel has not put Gaza’s civilian population in the line of fire. Hamas has. It has done so for decades, primarily to elicit exactly this naïve response from Western observers who know or care little about the bestial tactics this terrorist organization employs." . . .

She belongs in some campus student union spouting empty platitudes, not in the halls of Congress. TD

AOC Is Pro-Jihad and Doesn’t Know It - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics   "I admire Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s ability to wiggle. Not in any kind of sensual sense; I mean ideological wiggling, and her ideas are about as sensual as hitting your finger with a hammer. She moves from one borderline to another, from the United States’ to Israel’s, and, having the opportunity to choose between at least two sides, she always manages to lean toward the side of crime. But this time she has gone the extra mile, and I’m not just saying that because she has gone all the way to Israel but because her latest speech might even seem too radical — even to Mohammed Deif, the Hamas terrorist leader. After all, Deif said on Saturday that the day to “end the last occupation on Earth” had come, while AOC, in her apparent condemnation of last Saturday’s attack, managed to mention in the same sentence “Hamas’s horrifying attacks” and the “grave injustices and violence Palestinians face under occupation.' ” . . .

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.' " . . .

Now is the time to be loud. Stay peaceful and don’t give the Maoists a reason to throw you in a cell. We are going to need you, and you can’t help if you’re in a gulag. The very idea that Harvard students are celebrating ruthless cruelty tells us everything we need to know about the future of our nation and We the People.

"I recall my time as a New York City liberal when the left was pushing “political correctness.” White liberals were urged to abstain from criticizing minorities in any way, lest we be deemed “racist.” The left pushed “white guilt” like heroin and we all happily stuck the needle in our arms. We denied black crime was rampant. We were told the world wasn’t full of hateful terrorists as we smelled the burning bodies days after 9/11. Instead, we chose to focus our ire on the violations and offenses of stupid, Jerry Springer-type peckerwoods. We thought we were virtue gods.

"Here we are, two decades later. Political correctness has been immolated and replaced by its tantrum-throwing progeny, “woke,” which decided that ignoring crimes by minorities is no longer sufficient. One must now cheer on, say, rampant shoplifting, lest one find oneself the target of a fusillade of Antifa spittle launched by spoiled demons from spendy neighborhoods who grew up in lavish bedrooms full of participation trophies.

"I remember when pedophiles were considered monsters. Recently, Antifa went to war when a black woman dared complain about a naked, white, trans sex offender sporting a half-staff while staring at her nude daughter at a spa in L.A. How dare she not “celebrate” a pedo with an erection pointed at her child! The commie prags in the Pravda press dutifully called the mother “anti-trans.” Other lizard people referred to the whole thing as a possible “hoax.” The registered sex offender was deemed a victim of “transphobia.” . . .

The Intersection Of Evil: Hamas, Antifa, BLM, Harvard And Barack Obama

  Issues & Insights

"What should the U.S. instead do? It should quit talking to Iran and restore full sanctions against it. It should cut off all aid immediately to all the Palestinians. It should undertake a 1973-like massive arms lift of key munitions to Israel and warn Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and others in the Middle East not to intervene or else, given that Israel will need several weeks to deal with Hamas and Gaza." . . .

"If the most informative response to the Hamas atrocities was Victor Davis Hanson’s Twitter post on Israel’s “50th anniversary war,” then the most interesting was written in The Spectator by Brendan O’Neill, who asked “why isn’t Antifa condemning the tide of anti-Semitism?”

“ 'Where is Antifa?” he wondered. “Where are those self-styled anti-fascists who love to rage against anything that is even vaguely reminiscent of the 1930s?”

"He knows what the rest of us do: That there’s nothing anti-fascist about Antifa.

“ 'To the modern left, everything is fascism except actual fascism,” says O’Neill.

“​​ 'They’ve been fighting fantasy fascism for years, yet when real fascism came, they hid, they looked the other way, they made excuses.”

"While Antifa conspicuously stays out of sight, Black Lives Matter, the darling of the Democrats, shows up in party hats and whistles, with “​​chapters across the country,” Mediaite reports, “celebrating the terrorist attacks that have claimed hundreds of innocent lives in Israel.”

" 'Harvard students made a splashy appearance, as well – nearly three dozen campus groups have sided with the barbarians. According to the media, a coalition of 34 Harvard student organizations issued a joint statement in which they said they “hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence,” as “millions of Palestinians in Gaza have been forced to live in an open-air prison,” and “the apartheid regime is the only one to blame.”

"Harvard President Claudine Gay says that the groups don’t speak “for Harvard University or its leadership.” But don’t they? Aren’t they saying out loud what most administrators and professors – not just at Harvard but at universities and colleges across the West – want to say, but don’t yet feel free to publicly voice? Isn’t contempt for Israeli Jews exactly what the students have been taught?

"Elements in both groups have since tried to retreat from their hateful actions and comments, but it’s too late. One, their “repentance” is based on public backlash, not the horrors perpetrated by Hamas, and, two, they clearly showed the world who they really are.

"One of Harvard’s most famous graduates, Barack Obama – whose puppet has sullied the Oval Office for almost four years now – was for a while also as absent as Antifa. In fact he was so late in defending humanity that the New York Post called him out in an editorial for his silence.

"Obama eventually arrived, tweeting on Monday evening about “​​the brazen terrorist attacks on Israel and the slaughter of innocent civilians.” The semi-former president said we must “stand squarely alongside our ally, Israel,” and support that nation’s “right to defend itself against terror.”

"It’s meaningless boilerplate language that only true Barack Believers will accept as the sincere expression of his feelings. The rest of us know, as the New York Post editorialized, that this newest war “is the future of the Middle East that Obama, in effect, wanted, fought for and now has achieved: Iran ascendant; nascent normalization between Israel and Arab states in jeopardy; the terrorist group Hamas emboldened and abetted by Tehran to strike viciously against soft targets within Israel.' ” . . .

Not all Hollywood people are sucking up to Hamas and the left

 Hundreds of Hollywood Actors, Executives Sign Letter Condemning Hamas Terrorist Attack on Israel (breitbart.com)

"Hundreds of Hollywood actors and executives, from Michael Douglas to Jerry Seinfeld to Gal Gadot, have signed a letter expressly condemning the terrorist attack in Israel at the hands of Hamas.

"The letter from the nonprofit Creative Community for Peace included 700 signatures and condemned Hamas for   “barbaric acts of terrorism” in Israel that “must be called out by everyone.”

“ 'The nightmare that Israelis have feared for decades became a reality as Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israeli cities and towns,” the message stated.

“ 'Under the cover of thousands of rockets fired indiscriminately into civilian populations, Hamas murdered and kidnapped innocent men, women, and children. They kidnapped and murdered infants and the elderly. They raped women and mutilated their bodies,” the letter added.

"Last weekend, Hamas terrorists invaded the southern part of Israel and began murdering innocent civilians, including men, women, and children. Over 1,300 people have died as a result of the attack.

“This is terrorism. This is evil. There is no justification or rationalization for Hamas’ actions,” the letter said. “These are barbaric acts of terrorism that must be called out by everyone. They are a terrorist organization whose leaders call for the murder of Jews everywhere.”

"The letter further warned entertainment industry figures to “speak out forcefully against Hamas” and be cautious about propaganda.

“ 'Our thoughts are with all those experiencing unfathomable levels of fear and violence, and we hope for the day when Israelis and Palestinians can live side by side in peace,” the letter said." . . .

The prominent celebrities who signed the letter include: Mark Hamill, Liev Schreiber, Debra Messing, Ryan Murphy, director Antoine Fuqua, Howie Mandel, George Lopez, Jeremy Piven, Andy Garcia, Mayim Bialik, Ziggy Marley, Jenji Kohan, and Bella Thorne.

As Breitbart News reported, Bella Thorne urged her 25 million followers to be human and sympathize with Israelis during this time.

“You don’t have to be Jewish. You don’t have to be Israeli. You just have to be human — to care, to love, to take a stance.” she wrote on Instagram. “I’m a human being.”

US blocks Iran from $6 billion fund after Hamas attack: REPORT

 US Blocks Iran From Accessing $6 Billion Fund After Hamas Attack: REPORT | The Daily Caller

The Democrats are cowardly because their base is. Consider some of those making up this party: Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, Rashida Tlaib, AOC, all those you see at a State of the Union address with matching outfits, somber scowls, and ethnic dress; pretty much all those you saw sitting to the left of Jerry Nadler during the Kavanaugh hearings, those who knelt in repentance over the George Floyd killing, late-night talk show hosts, Hakeem Jeffries....... The Tunnel Dweller

"The Biden administration is preventing Iran from accessing the $6 billion the U.S. recently transferred after Hamas, an Iranian-backed terrorist group, launched a brutal attack against Israel, The Washington Post reported Thursday.

"The Biden administration originally cut a deal with Iran to transfer $6 billion in previously frozen assets in exchange for five American prisoners. The administration is now working with fund manager Qatar to hold up the $6 billion after Iran’s ally Hamas launched a wave of attacks against Israel on Saturday, killing over 1,200 Israelis and at least 25 Americans and kidnapping hundreds more. (RELATED: Here Are The Concessions The Biden Admin Made To Iran In Years Leading Up To Hamas Attacks)

John Bolton on Hamas calling for attacks in U.S: ‘May not happen this weekend, but it's coming’ | Just The News

"Ambassador John Bolton discuss[es] recent attacks on Israel and the culpability of Iran being responsible for Israel attacks being the catalyst for widespread unrest across not only the Middle East but the world. The former U.S. National Security adviser comments that with Tehran rhetoric calling “Israel the little Satan, calling [the U.S.] the great Satan. It may not happen this weekend, but it's coming.” Commenting that America with the recent events must be watching “very carefully of attacks inside the Arab world, the situation for Americans in the immediate neighborhood of these attacks is is dangerous.” Saying, the U.S. embassy “in Lebanon has advised Americans to get out of Lebanon, I haven't seen much attention to that. But if if the the propagandist from from Tehran and from Hamas and Hezbollah, do their work effectively, there could be trouble all across the Middle East and spreading into Europe as well as the United States.”

1 Corinthians 15:22-25   These verses conclusively reveal that others will be called besides us, until Christ defeats all enemies of God's rule. Because every person who has conformed to the image of Satan is an enemy, God will eventually call all of mankind and confront each one about who their sovereign is! As Satan has deceived "the whole world" (Revelation 12:9), so in His time will God call the whole world.  What the Bible says about Satan as ruler of this world

13 Basic Facts to Defend Israel

 Seth Grossman - American Thinker  

7. In 1948, the United Nations equally divided the “Jewish National Home” part of Palestine between Jews and Arabs.  The Jews accepted what they were given as their State of Israel.  The Arabs in Palestine rejected statehood.  They instead invaded Israel with the help of armies from five neighboring Arab countries.  After a year of bitter fighting, Jews had control of roughly three fourths of western Palestine.  In 1949, all parties agreed to a ceasefire.  The lines where the fighting stopped became the “Green Line” borders of Israel.

 "During the past week, I found that even most well informed Americans know very little about the causes of the war between Jews and Arabs in Israel.  Here is a summary of 13 basic facts I think every American should know:". . .

'Day of jihad' sees anti-Israel protests around the world after former Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal told Muslims to 'take to the streets' | Daily Mail Online

From American Thinker: A parable illustrates Israel’s plight and her strength

 Hamas makes it clear that Israel isn’t the only target; it’s just the first target - American Thinker 

                                      The Rooster continued. “You, Mr. Wolf, were fighting for your supper. 

                                                          I was fighting for my life.” 

    . . ."Today’s “Evidence A” for this truism is the call from Hamas for Friday the 13th to be a Day of Jihad. The call, ostensibly, demands this Jihad across the Muslim world but let’s not be naïve. According to Islam, the whole world is now or will be the Muslim world. We draw bright lines; the Islamists do not.

"Most people first became aware of this demand for jihad from the Daily Mail, which reported that Khaled Meshaal, a former Hamas leader, issued the call:

A former Hamas chief has called for protests to take place across the Muslim world on Friday in support of the Palestinians, and for the peoples of neighboring countries to join the fight against Israel.

‘[We must] head to the squares and streets of the Arab and Islamic world on Friday,’ said Khaled Meshaal, who currently heads Hamas’s diaspora office.

With Hamas’s war crimes against Israel, leftist Jews are reaping what they sowed - American Thinker

“For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.” Hosea 8:7.

"If it weren’t so unutterably tragic, it would be amusing to watch leftist Jews shout their outrage at fellow leftists who are siding with Hamas. These leftist Jews may have been pro-Israel and afraid of a second Holocaust, but their support for leftist policies led to the slaughter that horrifies them now.

"What happened in Israel was not war. It was, instead, a grotesque violation of modern norms driven by people who have, for 1,500 years, proudly and unabashedly stated both their goal and their means: The goal is world domination, and the means are torturing and slaughtering men and boys, raping women and girls, enslaving those women and girls they don’t murder, and killing babies in their cradles.

"This isn’t about territorial disputes or someone else’s colonialism. This is written into their most holy text, which has not undergone a single revision since their prophet first spoke his words. They did this in the 7th century, they did it two decades ago on September 11, they did it a decade ago to the Yazidi, they did it last weekend to the Israelis, and they’re chomping at the bit to do it to you." . . .

In The Terrorist Attack, The Jewish Future And The Jewish Past Come Together - American Thinker   "Let me tell you about the Jews of today. It’s taken thousands of years, but we are no longer a meek and timid people who will obediently board a train, be separated from our loved ones, and walk into a gas chamber believing we’ll have a nice shower after our arduous journey. It is precisely these tragic events in our collective Jewish past that inform the present and somehow will inform our future.

"The catastrophe that unfolded this past weekend in Israel was surreal for all decent humans with a pulse—excluding pro-Palestinian groups celebrating in Gaza, London, Sydney, and New York, as well as low-IQ individuals with undeserved diplomas and a platform for ignorance like Sonny Hostin of The View

"As Sukkot came to an end, Jews around the world looked forward to celebrating Simchat Torah, where the entire Torah is raised up and completely unrolled so that the Creation in Genesis connects to the final chapter of Deuteronomy when Moses takes his final breaths while looking out over the land of Israel, contemplating the future of his people. No rabbi ever told me this, but it seems clear that our unknowable future hearkens back to our lived past, as well as to the time before man walked this Earth. And that past is also connected to a future we don’t yet know.
