Why does the left hate Israel? Because of its woke Western self-hatred
NY Post ^ | 10/27/23 | Rich Lowry

The cataract of anti-Israel sentiment on college campuses has been shocking, but it shouldn’t be surprising.

It is the poisoned fruit of teaching a generation of college students to despise their own civilization.

Jesse Jackson famously led a chant at Stanford University in 1987: “Hey, hey, ho, ho, Western Civ has got to go.”

He was talking about the college course, but he might as well have been talking about the thing itself.

Jackson and his allies had extraordinary success in extinguishing the teaching of Western Civ.

Not only have we largely stopped transmitting the story of our own civilization, we have substituted an alternative narrative that the West is reducible to racism, imperialism and colonialism.

It is in this context that the current outburst of anti-Zionism has to be understood.

Hitler had the same motives, to separate Christianity from its foundation. It’s a total anhializaion of Judeo-Christianity using the philosophy of Nietczhe.

After thousands of ordinary Americans were slaughtered on 9/11 and later from particulates and chemicals causing diseases, the biggest news topic (along with the wimpy we are all together including our friends the Muslims Ads) was “What did Americans do to cause the Arabs to hate us and drive them to killing us?”

Infuriating.

My favorite GW Bush reply was: “They hate us for our goodness.”
Which is true. Evil and ruthless lying Iranians call us The Great Satan. One of the World Trade Center bombers spent the night before in a pole dance strip club getting drunk. All the “piety” and “gentleness” is hypocrisy.

Why does the left hate Israel?

Simple. The Left is run by the spirit of antichrist which hates God and hates God's people, Israel.

Joseph Sobran who made the observation that the achievements of Western Civilization are so disproportionately massive that we underestimate just how humiliating this is for others.
The Collective needs enemies. If not provided for the, they will conjure them from current events. Yesterday: MAGA. Today: Israel, a Jewish State.

Part of the problem is that most people like to root for the underdog. It’s almost an automatic thing.

The Muslims (and for that matter, BLM) have done a great job portraying themselves as the underdogs. That’s not true, of course. But lots of people are believing it.

Which was perhaps relatively true.

Now that we push promiscuity, abortion, homosexuality, transsexualism, and race hate I don’t think we can claim this.

If I just set aside any historical knowledge of the area, and assumed that there was a real case to be made by all sides (there are more than two) in the region, the best way to make me disregard ANYthing you have to say is by torturing and killing babies. I don’t care if there WERE crimes and injustices done by individual Jews or by a Jewish State. When you torture and kill innocent babies, and others are your allies, cheering you on, you have FORFEITED ALL consideration, because a monsters get no consideration.

And yes, we have our own baby-killers here. The world is awash in sin.

Rich Lowry is on to something here - and so are you erlayman.
What’s the force behind decent citizens being taught to hate their own countries? Who benefits? And why?

The government of Israel is a separate entity from the people of Israel.

It’s a tradition that started in the 1960’s.
