At a left-wing conference in Chicago, activists believe Iran is ‘part of the arc of resistance because the enemies are Israel and the USA.’
CHICAGO — About 300 anti-war activists crowded into the basement of the Teamsters Union’s headquarters on Saturday to hear organizers from all over the country describe their plans to disrupt the Democratic National Convention this August. Joe Biden’s backing of Israel since Hamas’s October 7 attack has turned these left-wing radicals against their own party.
“It’s really inspiring to see that people are just as enthusiastic, and maybe even more enthusiastic, to march on the DNC as they are to march on the RNC,” says Omar Florez, a Milwaukee-based activist. “We can thank Genocide Joe and our movement for that.”
But then a man stumbles to the podium, wiping sweat from his forehead. He grabs the microphone to announce that the Islamic regime of Iran has launched missiles and drones heading straight toward Israel.
“They believe that they will be in Palestinian—I don’t call it Israeli—airspace between two and four a.m., which means about two to four hours from now,” he says. “In addition, there are reports of drones having been fired on Israel from Yemen and Iraq.”
The crowd, all wearing black N95s, erupts into applause. Someone in the back lowers their mask to send a celebratory whistle soaring throughout the room (video clip at link).
The man at the podium, Hatem Abudayyeh, heads the U.S. Palestinian Community Network, “a purported community group which, on information and belief, is an affiliate of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a designated terror organization based in Gaza,” according to a lawsuit over the alleged relations between U.S. advocacy groups and Hamas.....
I thought they called themselves “peace activists”.
They are not antI-war. They are anti-American.
At Teamsters HQ? Im shocked!
Exactly right.
It’s a different spin on what the Left did in 1940 or so. Hitler and Stalin signed a non-aggression pact. Which was awesome! All the Leftists in the US stood with Uncle Joe! And that Adolf guy — he wasn’t so bad, was he? Yeah, sure, he’s dropping bombs on London, but that’s not our problem! Be a pacifist! US should stay out of the war! It’s not our fight!
Then Hitler invaded the Soviet Union and everything changed. We need to get in there! We need to help Uncle Joe! Let’s fight Hitler! He’s a monster! This is no time for isolationism!
I think the “peace activists” were thrilled when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor because it got us into the war so that we could save communism in the USSR.
The “peace activists” today are the same. They love war very much — just so long as the correct country is suffering.
The “College Participation Diploma” recipients have gone full terrorist muzzie on us.
