I would expect this at a MAGA rally, but here? Our community behaved abominably over the Israel-Hamas resolution
Lookout Santa Cruz ^ | January 14, 2024 | Andrew Goldenkranz

Posted on 01/14/2024 5:24:34 PM PST by artichokegrower

Longtime Santa Cruz resident and educator Andrew Goldenkranz says Martin Luther King Jr. would not be happy with Santa Cruz this weekend, which marks his birthday. Tuesday’s 10-hour Santa Cruz City Council meeting and unruly public forum about an Israel-Hamas cease-fire resolution showed an ugly side of the city, he says. The war is heartbreaking all around, he writes, but seeing community members treat each other with such contempt was also disappointing and hurtful

Poor baby. Like framing it like that is supposed to make them stop?

NEWSFLASH: That's the idea. THEY. DON'T. CARE.

Unhappy, frustrated activists will go from city to city, school district to school district, looking for traction. More power to them; that’s how democracy works.

No, it's not. Democracy is when citizens and/or their elected representatives vote on laws and stuff. Obsessed people disrupting one community after another is not "democracy."

Violence, chaos, and confusion, only comes with more than 200 FBI agents in the protest.

Someone, Andrew or the editor, falsely slandered MAGA people in the headline. Trash. No need to read further.

I have to wonder what Andy thinks MAGA rallies are like. I’ve been to one and it was a truly happy event. Yes, people booed at the reporter section when President Trump pointed them out, but it was mostly smiles. Except when in the middle of Trump’s speech, a woman collapsed in the middle of the crowd. Trump help direct the EMT’s to her. Meanwhile the crowd recited the Lord’s Prayer and sang Amazon Grace. Hardly abominable behavior.

Everything in Lib world is a lie and backwards.

MAGA rallies are peaceful, prayful and energetic. Patriotic and good-natured.

Environmental, abortion, Hamas, BLM, trans, Antifa rallies are dirty, drug-fueled, filthy, violent and horrific.

Another gaslit Commie projecting his BS.

..... Yes .... WE all know that (At least I hope we do) .... However the Democrat/Socialist Propaganda media has controled the narrative to the point that the average Joe America on the street now believes that a .... "MAGA Rally" .... is what they saw, displayed in all of it's glory, on 2021-JAN-06. They have been trained and conditioned to actually believe that all MAGA and Trump Supporters are Violent Insurrectionist wannabe's desiring to maime and destroy all non MAGA Humans

"...to witness 10 hours of community testimony and council debate on a possible Middle East cease-fire resolution..."

Santa Cruz is considering a ME cease-fire resolution? WTH difference will it make? The author is worried about city residents treating each other like ka-ka...but the funniest part is how serious they take themselves. What a ridiculous waste of energy.

The writer has forgotten that Extremist Islam, like extremist Fascism, is not malleable to change. Marxism never was from the start.

There are a small number of Moslems who do not advocate the extermination of the only Jewish nation in the world, but if they speak out, they will be vilified, ostracized or killed. That is the major difference between the civilized and the rabid animals with two legs.

Communism will jail you, torture you, make you disappear, or just outright kill you. However, it has been overthrown in a number of countries, yet the capital of Marxism in the Western Hemisphere still lies 90 miles off of our shore. We blew its liberation decades ago. It’s offspring rule in Venezuela and again, in Brazil.

We lacked the will to take out Fidel when we had the chance. It set the stage for our political failure to save Indochina from communism.

I was, perhaps, the only journalist, if not person, to warn Congress about the coming genocide in Cambodia in July 1974 and April 1975. I was shone a Secret document about the Khmer Rouge occupation in one region of Cambodia, and it was the precursor of things to come.

I lost new acquaintances there, people I had met, eaten with, interviewed and written about as an accredited journalist there and in So. Vietnam.

I had already created, collated and written some of the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee’s last volume in “The Human Cost of Communism” series (in Russia, by Robert Conquest, and in China, by Prof. Richard Walker, 1970-72).

I tried my best to warn people of what was coming to those people if we abandoned them. I wonder if anyone tried to help.

Finally, all my grandmother’s side of the family who remained in What is now Lvov, Ukraine - men, women, children, babies- were taken out to a sandpit on the edge of Lemberg/Lvov/Lviv, and shot to death.

I know genocide and this is what hardcore Islam is all about. This is what Israel faces today, not only from Iran, Hamas, etc., but also from their Fifth Columnists in the Free World, especially the US, but also from our dupes and Marxists here in academia, the media, radical churches and from black anti-semitic/neo-Marxists and con artists.

Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it!

Welcome to Santa Cruz where Israel’s and America’s imported and native-born citizens are working night and day to destroy Israel, America, and Freedom as we know it throughout the world, aided and abetted by the Left, power hungry Democrats, and the stupid who live on our blocks.

The Old Red Mole and the Green sword of too much of Islam NEVER SLEEP!

Neither should we.

Long live America, Israel and Freedom for all peaceful people’s of the world.
