Iran’s proxy war against Israel
The terrorist organization Hamas pumped 2,800 rockets into Israel in the past week and the hard Left is angry. At Israel for defending itself, of course.
Pavlov’s dog is salivating.
“Hard-left Democrats are apoplectic about Israeli attacks on Hamas, but they don’t have a thing to say when Islamic militants murder school girls,” former Madison mayor Dave Cieslewicz observes. “Last week in Afghanistan, dozens of school girls were killed in an attack that targeted them for the offense of getting an education. You could hear crickets on the left.”
⇒ The Nation condemns “the explosion of Israeli violence this last week.”
⇒ “The Squad is rooting for Hamas.”
Not a word about the school girls from U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan or his progressive caucus — Ilhan Omar, A.O.C, and Rashida Tlaib. Only indignation over Israel’s response to Hamas. “Israel’s state-sanctioned police violence against Palestinians,” Pocan (D-Dane County) calls it. All over a disputed property title for six parcels. No coincidence that the Middle East is heating up again. The Biden/Harris administration is pulling out of Afghanistan and cozying up to Hamas’ sugar daddies, the Iranian ayatollahs.
Nonetheless,President Biden “reaffirmed his strong support for Israel’s right to defend itself against rocket attacks from Hamas and other terrorist groups in Gaza.”
“No, Hamas is not acting in response to ‘legitimate grievances,’ and no, Israel is not violating the laws of war,” notes David French.
Under the laws of war, once Hamas initiated hostilities against Israel, then Israel possessed the legal right to not just defend itself against Hamas’s attacks or to retaliate against Hamas’s attacks, but to also destroy Hamas as a military force.
The Left’s double standard frustrates Matti Friedman, writing in The Atlantic (in 2014!)
“The construction of 100 apartments in a Jewish settlement is always news; the smuggling of 100 rockets into Gaza by Hamas is, with rare exceptions, not news at all.” Friedman notes:
Most consumers of the Israel story don’t understand how the story is manufactured. But Hamas does.
Blaska’s Bottom Line: Which answers the question why the Associated Press (“Hamas propagandists“) had its offices in the building Hamas was using as its command and intelligence center.
⇒ U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton accuses the Associated Press of colluding with Hamas following Israeli airstrike.

Maybe the election was stolen at the behest of the uber-powerful merchants of death arms dealers because the Orange Master would not cooperate and he wanted out of the Middle East.
Why no squealing and screeching from the squad and other proglibots about the ongoing brutal oppression of rug-munchers and homos in an assortment of Muslim countries?

Well let’s put this in perspective shall we. The distance between the Gaza strip to Jerusalem is 60 miles. That is the equivalent of driving from Richland Center to Madison. From the Gaza strip to Tel Aviv is approx. the same distance as driving from Madison to Whitewater or to Dodgeville Wis.. The distance between the Gaza strip to Ashkelon is 26 miles. This would be the equivalent of driving from Lodi to Madison.
Now keep in mind however, that driving distance is NOT the same as distance in Nautical miles or miles as the crow flies but these distances are a good approximation to illustrate that it is not all that far from the Gaza strip to Jerusalem, to Tel Aviv or to Ashkelon.
Therefore, you have to ask yourselves these questions. What would the appropriate response be if some people in Richland Center or Whitewater or Lodi, without provocation from Madison, started firing rockets into Madison with the sole purpose of killing innocent people in Madison and the authorities in those towns did nothing to stop them?
What if there was no United States, just the State of Wisconsin and the City of Madison with the towns surrounding it, what would you want our Governor and Mayor to do if the rockets were coming down on your street, killing your neighbors, from the towns I mentioned?
Could you now see why the citizens of Israel are reacting to these rocket attacks in the manner in which they are?

Bad analogy Bill. If the rockets were coming down on Madison from Richland Center I’d call that a good start. And those damn Spring Green pacifists need to get off their asses and join in.

Lefty’s condemnation of Israel and sympathy for Hamas is just another example of the morally inverted world he’s invented. Lefties actually believe the big blood libel Leftist lie. Then again,
˙pןɹoʍ spɹɐʍʞɔɐq puɐ uʍop ǝpısdn uɐ uı ǝʌıן sʇɐɹɔoɯǝp
It’s written in The Book, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness. Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,
and shrewd in their own sight!”
The reason there’s a war right now between Israel and Hamas is that Israel exists. It has nothing to do with anything Israel has actually done. Militant Muslims and their D卐M☭CRAT supporters here and in Iran regularly announce they seek Israel’s destruction. The radical, Leftist, Islamofascists chant, ” Death to Israel, … the Little Satan, and Death to America, … the Great Satan.”
Maybe the godless secular-progressive Lefties think it’s a good deal that they’ll be killed last.
There is no parallel or moral equivalence like this in the world. No civilized nation seeks the obliteration of another. But this is <i" de rigeur in keeping with the history of anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism is not just another ethnic or racial bigotry. Anti-Semitism, unlike every other form of racism or ethnic bigotry, is exterminationist.
Jew-haters don’t merely hate Jews; they want Jews dead. There is one historical precedent, but seeking the Final Solution didn’t work out so well for the guy with the funny little mustache. Did it?

“Rep. Pocan (D-Dane County)” Isn’t the ‘D’ redundant? One reason he and his fellow progressive pro-terrorists are so ardent in their defense of Hamas is it plays into their favorite narrative of white oppressor (Israel) vs. brown-skinned victim (Hamas), no matter what the ‘victim’ has done to provoke getting the crap beat out of them for the umpteenth time.

The Left hates the good and often supports the enemies of the good. Leftism is a moral sickness of the human condition. It’s not even an issue of the Left having a broken moral compass. A broken moral compass is occasionally accurate. Lefty’s moral compass always shows north as south and east as west.

Before there can be any peace in the Middle East, the Palestinians will have to learn to love their own children more than they hate Israel. This is most certainly true.

Unlike every other form? Don’t think so. To make that statement, you have not been paying attention to such deep thinkers as Ibrahim X. Kendhi or even some of the fine public figures of Madison.
