The pro-Hamas protests are not in pursuit of a ceasefire, rather they are celebrating Hamas and now Houthi terrorism by picking random fights with Starbucks, Christmas Tree lightings, and even Alec Baldwin to name a few.
They are not so much for anything
as they are against [their chosen] things.
This from frontpagemag.com.
After Hamas supporters were caught screaming ‘shame on you’ at children receiving cancer treatment at a Manhattan hospital (‘make sure they hear you, they’re in the windows’) some people wondered what they were trying to accomplish.
Reasonable people—conservatives, old school liberals, and even some RINOs—are unable to understand the radical Left–only that the catch-all explanation of ‘mental illness’ seems to best apply.
Mayhem is the mobs’ objective. They’re not trying to persuade normal people of anything, rather to express their hatred for them. The common denominator of all of these riots is a burning desire to destroy everything around them. Obviously, they’re not shutting down airports or smashing store windows to bring attention to any particular cause.
Before Hamas, they were smashing windows for abortion, BLM and Occupy Wall Street, and against the Iraq War and to protest the World Trade Organization.
Some of the same men in black who are smashing Starbucks windows now for Gaza were smashing them back in Seattle in the WTO protests of 1999. Hell, they’re being paid to do perform these acts of violence. This insane smash-and-grab behavior has become a career choice.
The pro-Hamas riots are a carbon copy of the BLM riots. Like the eco-terrorists, who [took to] vandalizing classical art in museums, their goal isn’t persuasion through awareness, it’s terrorism. They block traffic, airport holiday travel and holiday events for whatever cause happens to be trending at any given time. Few of these leftists have any real sense of what Hamas is, fewer still know who the Houthis are, but they’ll still scream about an ‘Intifada.’
Manolo De Los Santos of The People’s Forum, which receives funds out of Communist China and has been linked to many of the pro-Hamas protests, promised:
When we finally deal that final blow…When the state of Israel is finally destroyed and erased from history, that will be the single most important blow we can give to destroying capitalism.
As David Horowitz reminded us of the sixties radicals, the same applies here:
[T]he issue is never the issue.
The issue is always the revolution.
Protests aren’t really “protests” in the sense that liberals think of them as being vehicles to rally for change. They’re the equivalent of Al Qaeda terrorist attacks “whose goal is to recruit, radicalize, and empower the storm troopers who are going to wage war against the world.”
Individual causes, environmentalism, LGBTQ rights, Gaza, Iraq, income inequality, unions, Wall Street, abortion, or criminals, are just gateway drugs to radicalize a base for the leftist revolution.
Blocking traffic or airports isn’t really about ending Israeli attacks on Hamas, but about “inflicting misery on Americans and making the leftist perpetrators feel powerful and self-righteous by expressing their malice.” Don’t think of these as protests; think of them as initiation sessions like those of gangs and cults in which new members prove themselves by hurting someone.
This is deja vu—the sixties all over again. Protest rallies deliberately turned into violent confrontations with police and guardsmen to radicalize a generation of leftist students. Only a small number of those actually formed organizations like the Weathermen, but millions more romanticized them and defended their cause. When the terrorists went into academia, entertainment and politics, those supporters swiftly put them into positions of power.
The same cycle has been repeating itself since the relaunch of the anti-war movement after 9/11. Those protests were followed by wholly manufactured causes like Occupy Wall Street and BLM that existed purely to radicalize and recruit a generation to fight a war against America.
The pro-Hamas protests are the work of most of the same coalition and the same mission.
There are some members of the coalition, especially Islamists, who are deeply invested in the idea of a Hamas victory and the destruction of Israel, but most, like The People’s Forum, see destroying Israel as part of the larger leftist mission of destroying America and the West.
The pretext for the destruction matters much less than the overriding revolutionary goal.
NOTE: As campaign promises, Obama talked peace in the Middle East, an end to income inequality, and the salvation of the planet. But to no one’s surprise, all of these things have only grown worse.
And in accordance with the Cloward-Piven model, leftists always make things worse.
The purpose of leftist governments is to destroy countries by exacerbating every social, economic, geopolitical and cultural problem until they have brought societies to their knees and can seize total power.
Leftist protests, like the terrorists they support, are also not about fixing anything, rather staging ugly hostile confrontations with police and the public to recruit the malicious and the disaffected (while playing the victim) and then escalating the violence and using it to take over a country.
The people in the streets who are hyped up and doing the dirty work are mere pawns—expendable and possessing very short shelf lives—useful idiots is layman’s terms.
Revolutions need causes, but the only
real cause of a revolution is its own power.
Or as George Orwell wrote in 1984:
One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.
A revolution requires people willing to kill.
The ’cause’ is the process of finding those willing to kill and giving them the reasons to do it.
The same processes of training and recruitment that climaxed in the Oct 7 attacks on Israel are underway in America. DEI educational activists may not be as blatant about it as Hamas, but they share a similar goal of radicalizing a base until it is “willing to commit any atrocity and still consider itself morally superior.”
The processes that produced men willing to rape and kill for Islam in Israel are also producing men and women in the West who are willing…to wage war against their own societies to protect those rapists and killers.
Take note: We the People have seen this all before. The domestic terrorists of tomorrow are blocking traffic in the streets of our cities today.
