When word reached me yesterday of the atrocities in Israel, I’d just finished watching Texas blow another big college football game, this with Oklahoma.
The fact that my regular programming had not been interrupted by breathless reporting on the Israel terrorism, as the networks love to do with any update on the persecution of Donald Trump, speaks volumes about where media sentiments sit on such things.
This appeared to be an act committed by their beloved Hamas terrorists, so nothing to see here. Just aggrieved people venting. I think of the classic CNN live shot labeled “mostly peaceful protests” in these United States against a background of burning vehicles and buildings
Shortly after reading the Israel news online, I responded to an email from a cousin on another matter. In that reply, I wondered rhetorically how many leftists in Israel pushing peace and compassion for terrorists would have found themselves harmed by this.
It’s a growing trend here, leftists of all stripes being killed by the sort of criminals they love to put back into public circulation. From the woman tech executive murdered in Baltimore, allegedly by a convicted sex offender also being sought on other felony charges even before this murder, to the “citizen journalist” in Philadelphia alleged to have been shot and killed by some societal outlier he was “helping,” it all should be getting a little too real for the soft-on-crime crowd.
There used to be quip, during a previous heyday of street violence in New York City, that a conservative was a liberal who had been mugged on the subway. These days, the survivors of expended liberals insist the victims of these crimes would not want their deaths to be used as motivation to crack down on street crime.
It’s easy for the survivors to say this. The people they claim to speak for no longer have a voice.
An update today regarding Israel suggested the attack got started when terrorists, using motorized hang gliders, drifted over and landed amidst a bunch of attendees at a “rave,” a concert being held near the Gaza border pushing peace.
Unfortunately, some of these ravers, including what is reported to be some Americans, got a first-hand look at the actions of the cold-blooded murders they support.
No doubt those who would presume to speak for the dead in this will assure us it all would not have changed their minds regarding pandering to criminals and terrorists.
I call BS on that.
What should interest us, aside from the brutal assault on other humans by those to whom life is cheap, is that it could happen here.
Clueless Joe Biden’s open-border policies, and the hasty dispersion of illegals throughout the U.S., leaves us vulnerable to terrorism.
While the FBI plans to harass so-called “MAGA extremists” ahead of the 2024 elections, the agency no doubt is asleep at the switch when it comes to identifying the terrorists entering this country amid the invasion of illegals.
When these terrorists act – and it will happen – there will be rush to deny culpability from Biden and his regime. Our intelligence agencies –the ultimate oxymoron – will ask plaintively, How could we have been expected to know? We were too busy busting grannies who once flew a Trump flag in their front yard.
There have been governmental pledges to support Israel, which ring hollow considering how much money and weaponry already have been expended to prop up Zelenskyy’s scandalized Ukraine regime.
Let us hope that Israel goes scorched earth on the terrorists, killing any and all with a connection to Hamas.
If that should extend to sanctioning some within our borders, well, stuff happens. The borders have been declared wide-open, so why should that not extend to some Mossad operatives?
