The Left Wing’s Bad Craziness
This whole Gaza flotilla issue has really brought out the wingbats on the left side of the political spectrum. As a registered democrat, it’s quite disturbing to watch unfold.
After arguing for the better half of the day with members of my own party and denouncing their blatant racism, I felt the need to document the madness. So here we go:
- Robert Scheer says that “Israelis are terrorists”
- Bradley Burston says that “Gaza is Israel’s Vietnam”
- Barney Frank is ashamed (thankfully, it looks like he’s correcting his statement on that front)
- Glenn Greenwald calls the blockade “illegal”
- Peter Beinart calls the Gaza embargo “cruel and corrupt”
Of course, posters on forums doubled down making comparisons between Gaza and South African apartheid and even Nazi Germany.
Today was a quite disturbing day for me. I have seen swastikas fashioned from the word “Israel”; statements that rocket attacks were only retaliation for the blockade (headslap) and adoration regarding the PLO. All mixed with random antisemitic statements regarding how Israel should no longer exist and how the poor Palestinians are only lobbing “homemade fireworks, not actual rockets.”
I am truly disgusted with the left at this point and needed to say as much. I think I’ll go curl into the fetal position and rock in the corner for a while…
