justthenews.com - Hamas atrocities expose peril liberals long embrace palestinians and iranEven as American hostages remained in peril, the beheaded torsos of innocent civilians were collected from Israeli streets and Hamas and Tehran celebrated the bloodletting, many liberals in America were still trying to express empathy for the attackers.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib flew a Palestinian flag outside her official congressional office, while Rep. Ilhan Omar suggested Israel's counteroffensive might be a 'war crime.' Biden's secretary of state tweeted, then deleted a call for a 'ceasefire' just as Israel ramped up its rescue missions. The U.S. Department of State's Palestinian Affairs Office literally implored Israel to 'refrain' from 'retaliatory attacks' before reversing course. On the streets of liberal cities and the campuses of left-leaning universities like Harvard, many even suggested Israel deserved blame for Hamas' attacks.
Security experts said the weekend attacks exposed the peril of a decade-long Democrat pursuit of an elusive deal to end Iran's nuclear and terrorist activities combined with a romanticism in liberal academic and political circles of a Palestinian "struggle."One needs look no further than tony college campuses - dominated by the left - such as Haaahvaad, Stanford, Yale, etc. to find endless support for "freedom in Palestine" complete with chants of "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free". This kind of cozying up to obviously radical and dangerous elements has become
de rigueur chic amongst the left wing intelligentsia for decades.
