Where did anyone ever get the idea that the “progressive” left is a peace movement? Daily Kos: In defense of violence? (Hat tip: Killgore Trout.)

Palestine is under the brutal occupation by a racist regime which treats non-Jews as second class citizens. Every illegal invader is a legitimate target, whether roaming the streets or sitting in “settlements”. The Palestinians have every right to use the tactics of guerilla warfare to drive the invaders out.

…. we should cheer when militants destroy invading tanks or shoot down the planes bombing Lebanese children. We should also cheer destruction of Israeli infrastructure, including telecommunication and transport, just as we do in the movies when Nazi infrastructure is bombed or hit , even if some people do get tragically caught in the crossfire. …

We also need to recognize that Hezbollah and Hamas are responsible for a great deal of social services for these oppressed people, and while there may be terrorist activities associated with some factions, any talk of destroying these organizations rather than reforming them is itself a terrorist assault on civilian populations.

Comparing Jews to Nazis and cheering on terrorist violence.

Worthy of Little Green Footballs.

I agree! It is indeed worthy of being featured at Little Green Footballs.
