A lie, of course. Post truth is the new black. But see how the morons fall all over it!
It's not Muslims, it's anti-war protestors. And nobody, absolutely nobody is saying no to Christmas.
They're not terrorists and don't deserve to have their skulls cracked, thanks for that Gordy and Scrappy Doo.
Why do progressives march in support of murderers?
Unlike the Nazis, who went to great lengths to conceal their Final Solution for the Jews at the notorious Wannsee Conference in January 1942 – the official transcript was titled Secret Reich Matter – Hezbollah leaders see no need to hide their odious designs.
Likewise Hamas, the other Iranian proxy organisation. In article seven of its 1988 founding covenant, it looks forward to the day when “the stones and trees will say there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him”.
...
In any case, the dreadful pogrom on October 7 last year eliminates any doubts. It is a prefiguration of what Hamas would like to do to the entire Jewish population of Israel and ultimately the world were they ever to get the opportunity. Then there is Hamas’s supporter and mentor, Iran, whose Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei predicted that by 2040 “there will be nothing left of the Zionist regime”. More ambitiously, Iranian ambassador to Australia Ahmad Sadeghi wants to ensure “wiping out the Zionist plague out of the holy lands of Palestine happens no later than 2027”. How remarkable, then, the reluctance, indeed refusal, of many Western progressives, including the Australian Greens, to unequivocally condemn these groups and their actions.
One of the most grotesque and surprising commemorations of the first anniversary of the pogrom comes from the British branch of Amnesty International, which posted a video titled It Didn’t Start One Year Ago to mark the occasion. The speaker, a woman, is shown walking at the head of a pro-Palestine march. She has nothing whatever to say about the enormity of what happened that day, a genocidal attack in which Hamas terrorists strove to murder, torture and humiliate as many Jews as they could get their hands on, reminiscent of the Nazi Einsatzgruppen in Russia during World War II.
Instead, it is entirely a recitation of the tropes about “context”, the Nakba and Palestinian victimhood. Even the current Israeli incursion into Lebanon is put down to malice and lack of accountability, nothing to do with the depopulation of northern Israel by 9000 Hezbollah rockets. How about that from a human rights group?
...
Consider the University of Sydney. In August, a meeting of 500 students organised by the students representative council voted overwhelmingly to support Hamas’s “armed resistance” against Israel. It then overwhelmingly voted down a motion condemning Hamas and the October pogrom put forward by two lonely dissenters in the audience.
Here we have people who identify as leftists making common cause with some of the most retrograde religious ideologues on the face of the earth. The meeting at Sydney University that backed Hamas was put on by the students representative council, which effectively was taken over by the Trotskyist Socialist Alternative group last year.
Having been involved in left-wing politics for several decades, I would have to say this alliance between the left and genocidal radical Islamism is the strangest and most disturbing political development in my lifetime.
