Leftists love to fantasise about how heroic they’d have been when Jews were being rounded up in the 1930s. ‘I’d have said something’, they insist. Well, Jews are being rounded up again. They’re being kidnapped, humiliated, paraded through the streets, slaughtered. And leftists are definitely saying something. They’re saying: ‘Good’.
These are war crimes. They are acts of genocidal bigotry carried out by a movement whose founding charter committed it to an existential ‘struggle against the Jews’. If you ‘celebrate’ this, you are truly lost.
The radical gloating over Israel’s suffering today is beyond the pale. It’s a new low for a left that was already in the moral gutter. Across social media you will see radicals cheering Hamas’s invasion of Israel. That nasty Jewish State had it coming – that’s the implication of their rank apologism for this radical Islamist assault on a democratic nation.
Consider Rivkah Brown, who works for Novara Media.
