The Arabs rejected it outright and unconditionally. Where are we now, in the midst of fake propaganda over the 'palestinian peoples'' struggle (read "Kampf") for "human rights. " "Palestine" is the #1 human rights issue on the Left's agenda.<br />That's pretty sick, and since it's based for the most part on fabrication is an indicator of how unhealthy our civilization is right now. <br /><br />In the meantime, Louis Farrakhan most likely has far more sway in black America than a bunch of self-styled progressive Jews are ever going to. And if you listen to him and his wannabe Hitler spokespeople you have to notice the connection between their rhetoric and many of the assaults in Brooklyn, Jersey City, and Monsey (MUN-C). And the absolute hatred. Some of these people really believe they are attacking the bogey man, they have been fed so much hatred. And we saw much of this coming, and no one did a damned thing. Don't we know by now that great minds of the past have tried to deal with and stave off Jew hatred and many times failed? <br />The difference is that now Jews have a state, a refuge. It is exceedingly small and difficult to defend. Many are committed to destroying it, and they will even say it's not antisemitic! Can you imagine what life would be like for Jews without Israel? And there are always those Jews who will be the good friend of the antisemites, those who will try to convince us that things were O.K. in Egypt and we should go back and bow to Pharaoh. Phuck them!<br />JeffwithaJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07073609950380822171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-66008604354979608072020-01-02T08:01:22.997-08:002020-01-02T08:01:22.997-08:00Shirlee, you see those guys as left-wing?

I believe you could say the same, since you note on the side that you have been published there. I doubt you are persona non grata. I think they are just very picky.

Instead of leading with compassion, he simply gaslights and laughs about it," Tlaib said.<br /><br />One might ask the former screeching radical activist, Tlaib, a few questions. <br /><br />1. How would this make Trump different from the PLO and the Palestine National Covenant? The Hamas Charter?<br />2. How would this make Trump different from you?<br />3. How would this make Trump different than the "progressive"/regressive/socialist/left with which you are entwined?<br />4. You spoke of people's "misguided" hate. Do you believe in a form of "guided" hate, i.e., the hate that is perhaps guided by some of the organizations with which you and your fellow travelers are affiliated?<br /><br /><br /><br />JeffwithaJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07073609950380822171noreply@blogger.com
