There have always been people who benefitted from America while espousing hate for it and insisting we need to destroy the very structures that made it great.
But those people were rarely in positions of power/influence.
That is now starting to change within the Dem Party.
I feel sick writing this.
The intifada has been globalised. Jews were shot for celebrating the festival of Chanukah. At least 9 are confirmed dead and dozens more injured.
Jews across the world will now be wondering whether they are safe at public Jewish events this Chanukah. Whether it’s safe to gather. Whether it’s safe to be visibly Jewish in public.
For over two years, large parts of the mainstream media turned themselves into propaganda outlets for Hamas. Not by accident. By choice. They repeated talking points, stripped away context, sanitised terror, and framed Israel, and Jews, as the ultimate evil.
That rhetoric didn’t stay on screens. It spilled onto the streets. Into hate marches. Into chants calling for violence and death.
Jewish communities warned governments, again and again, about the horrendous levels of incitement taking place. We begged them to clamp down on it. They did next to nothing.
Then the terror attack happens. Here in the UK, it was Manchester. In Australia, it’s Bondi. Condemnations are issued. And the cycle repeats.
Messages are still coming in from people I know, British friends, Australian friends, who were at Bondi Beach. One person I know was shot. People don’t realise how close-knit the Jewish community is. How an attack like this sends shockwaves across the world. Not just fear for friends and family who may have been killed or injured, but the sickening question of whether your own community might be next.
October 7 didn’t just kill Israelis. It inspired millions across the West. It emboldened a hate movement that now hunts Jews far beyond Israel’s borders.
Blame the mainstream media that fuelled it. Blame governments that refused to act. Blame those who marched, chanted, justified and excused. And blame those who stayed silent.
To be Jewish and safe in the West today is to be lucky. That’s where we are.
Jews are being hunted around the world. The furthest flung Jewish community on earth. Even there they try to kill us.
Mainstream media, governments, hate marchers and all those who excused that hate and stayed silent in the face of it have blood on their hands.
What the CEO killing should make people realize is there are a segment of people in our society that will absolutely celebrate the death of you and your family if you happen to be part of the wrong class, have the wrong job, or belong to the wrong identity group. These people are focused in academia, the media, and a few other industries dominated by the far-left.
There is a dehumanization element to it. A health insurance executive didn’t commit a crime that would justify seeing them as evil, but that’s how they view him because they don’t like the current system. And among the far-left, being part of the system they hate justifies anything you do to him.
But it doesn’t end with health insurance CEOs. That logic will expand to millions of other Americans.
A politician opposes green new deal legislation? Evil.
A landlord evicts someone for not paying rent? Evil.
A man steps in and defends others under attack from an actual criminal on a subway? Evil.
You’re a cop? Evil.
You’re an Israeli? Evil
You served in the military? Evil.
There is no limiting principle here. If you’re part of a system they don’t agree with, they will justify violence against you. That’s what the weekly pro-terror marches in NYC are really about. And people better start to recognize it because the mainstreaming of that view is absolutely a threat to a future America that protects individual rights and economic freedom.
Charlie Kirk was more committed to peaceful, open dialogue with those who disagreed with him than anyone I know. God blessed him with immense gifts, and he used them boldly and without fear. He knew the risks he was taking, but he did it anyway because he loved his kids & felt a responsibility to the nation they would inhabit. I traveled the entire country with him last year, we spent 1x1 time together in Ohio two weeks ago, spoke to him again 2 days ago. He’s long warned of the rise of political violence & the growing culture of assassination, when few were willing to listen, with a clarity of vision unlike anyone I’ve known. Completely and utterly devastated.
"When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say".
My thoughts are with Charlie Kirk's family.
ESPN showed the overhead camera angle before the 2-point conversion and it sure looks like Taylor Decker went over to the refs.
I don't know what else he's telling them....
