The political world is being turned upside down as reactions to last week’s attacks are exposing formerly disregarded truths.
In America, the left’s reaction to the evils of Hamas in Israel last week should be a wakeup call. Protests were held against Jews. Letters were written supporting Hamas. Politicians, journalists, and academics refused to denounce the atrocities and many of them didn’t even try to hide their glee.
Few conservatives were surprised to see leftists justifying the kidnapping, raping, and murdering of innocent Israeli and non-Israeli civilians, but some lucid Democrats might have been surprised. Particularly Jewish and Muslim Democrats should have been shocked and must now question their ideological allegiance.
I say “the left” because things have changed. There was a time not too long ago when such displays of idiocy would be labeled as the “radical left” or the “far left” but today, it’s just the left. Their Overton Window has made even former “moderates” accept men pretending to be women, mentally disabled men pretending to be politicians, and criminals pretending to be victims. It’s no wonder that they would now claim terrorist monsters as their heroes.
