“Where does this blindness come from? Why are so many people who think of themselves as crusaders for justice so misguided?”
It was never about justice rather it was about gaining power disguised as crusaders for justice. They are their own god and they are jealous and angry as befits a god. Reject Hamas? Hell they never rejected the Soviet Union or Mao and communist China, two of the biggest destroyers of human life the earth has ever seen.
So true. There is never the slightest hesitation that instituting socialism and communism here when it utterly failed elsewhere could have any of the same disastrous consequences. Instead, just an oozing smugness that it wasn't done right elsewhere, but the enlightened here know so much better how to do it properly.
