The Left will create a normalcy in Hamas flags at rallies and violent protests, and masses of bussed-in, paid young radical liberals angrily voicing their approval of the Hamas atrocities while calling for the extermination of all Jews.

Salman Rushdie, born moslem in 1947, Bombay, India, is a British-American Novelist and Essayist.
Q: Is this what the progressive movements of the Western Left want to proliferate?
A: Yes! Sadly, ignorantly, yes.
The defense of Hamas atrocities, both overt (easily found on social media) and by omission (the media’s refusal to fault Hamas atrocities) make it all too obvious that the ideological ground is being prepared for this very outcome.
Salman Rushdie had been a longtime opponent of Israel. Despite being targeted by Iran for his writing of The Satanic Verses—a book that the Islamic revolutionary regime deemed blasphemous—he has managed to survive and is speaking out after having experienced a change of heart.
Rushdie had:
[O]pposed the Jewish State and supported the terrorist cause. [But he was] sold out [betrayed] by fellow leftists for ‘provoking’ [moslems].
Now in an interview with Bild, a German publication, Rushdie, who suffered a moslem terrorist attack in America (funny how quickly the media moved on from that) that left him without one eye, had some thoughts on the Hamas campus riots.
Rushdie stated very clearly:
The fact is that any normal person can only be shocked by what is happening in Gaza right now, by the level of innocent deaths.
He added what bothers him in particular:
I think the demonstrators could also mention Hamas. Because it all started with them. And Hamas is a terrorist organization.
And it’s strange that a young progressive student politician supports a fascist terrorist group, because in a way they do.
Rushdie explained:
They demand free Palestine—liberate Palestine.
He confessed:
I have been in favor of a separate Palestinian state most of my life.
Then he redirected:
But if there were a Palestinian state now, it would be run by Hamas and we would have a Taliban-like state. A satellite state of Iran.
Is this what the progressive movements of the Western Left want to create?
Again, no doubt:
Obviously, the answer is that they do.
It’s striking that Rushdie has to be the one to make this point.
Again, he has been a longtime opponent of Israel. And yet it falls to him to state that:
[A]ny current ‘Palestinian’ state would be Hamas.
Rushdie, speaking from experience, claims that it is strange, however, he has had more than enough experience with Western liberals playing the same game with him and Iran:
At some point it’s not strange, it’s an admission of complicity.
Final thoughts: Rushdie is one more individual with the sense and the experience to appreciate the mission of the IDF. Eliminating Hamas and returning Gaza to a terrorist-free existence is the best way forward. But this would leave the Fatah-controlled Palestinian Authority in the West Bank.
