Violent leftists strike again
American Thinker ^ | 23 May, 2025 | J.B. Shurk

After a bloodthirsty socialist murdered Israeli Embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim on Wednesday night, conservative commentator Scott Jennings acerbically noted, “If Biden or Harris were president we’d be getting a scolding right now for this epidemic of Islamophobia.” His comment struck me as a bullseye worth repeating. In this “culture war” that divides our nation (and Western civilization more generally), those on the political left excuse monsters and vilify victims.

Sure enough, CNN was back at it within hours of Wednesday’s political assassination. Concerned about the possibility that sane Americans might see the connection between the Jew-hate on college campuses and the Jew-hate that inspired the execution of a young couple working for the Israeli Embassy, CNN prodded a witness to the terrorist attack — a recent graduate of Columbia University, no less — to distinguish the actions of campus protesters from the actions of the gunman. He soundly rejected CNN’s rhetorical defense of Islamic supremacy: “At Columbia University they call for intifada constantly. They’re not quiet. They’re loud. You can hear it. They make recordings of themselves. So what’s the difference?”

The shooter wrote a damning manifesto that expresses his solidarity with Hamas and his belief that Israelis “have forfeited their humanity.” He also shouted, “Free Palestine” when being arrested. It took no time at all for President Trump to condemn the political assassinations as “obvious” acts of “antisemitism.” Yet The New York Times is confused as to what might have motivated the Jew-hating terrorist. As the brain of the Democrat party’s central nervous system, the NYT reveals just how mentally handicapped the loony left is.

Almost a decade ago, the late, great Norm Macdonald excoriated the left for its moral imbecility when he joked, “What terrifies me is if ISIS were to detonate a nuclear

The left, in their mental backwardness, call evil good and they call good as evil. These are the people referenced in Isaiah 5:20.

When are the majority of Jewish Americans going to wake up and finally admit to themselves that the Left hates them? Most of the ones I know are in denial. They’re still trying to pass it off as “the kids” on college campuses.....as if their professors weren’t in on it....as if the corporate media didn’t run cover for it.....as if large swathes of the Leftist commentariat didn’t sympathize with it.....as if there weren’t whole networks of leftist NGOs and their financiers backing it.

Never. As my Jewish MIL told me..."I would NEVER be a Republican, they are TOO CHRISTIAN!"

Plus, for some reason they love Abortion!! If there is ANY group that should HATE ABORTION, it's the Jews, but they don't!!

I read yesterday the father of the shooter of the two Jews in Washington is a ranking member of SEIU union and was an invited guest of a Democratic congressman at Trump’s State of the Union speech, which I’m sure is nothing more than a coincidence

I think they need to start exposing the names and faces of these “protesters”. The hatred needs to be stamped out and the only way that happens is public shaming. Also these universities need to start teaching about Oct 7th. Force these kids to look at what they have been supporting

I agree with the writer- you cannot hate the corporate media enough.

Despite all the evidence that it is the Left that turns to violence, a significant portion of the population has been conditioned to believe that the biggest threat to a peaceful American society comes from "right-wing Christian White supremacists."

Joseph Goebbels had nothing on the propagandists at work in the US today.

Answer: Never

Books and sundry articles proliferate on why such suicidal political alignment exists among US Jews, but all the
different rationales contradict rational thought.

Nonetheless, the answer is: Never

I don't know which American Jews you are talking to, but around here, the Jews are mostly MAGA types now. The few lingering lefties were finally converted to reality by what happened on Oct 7th. The majority are Trump supporters as well.

I was waiting for the killings to be blamed on Trump, no matter how tenuous the connection:

Didn’t take long...

“Dad of suspected terrorist Elias Rodriguez was invited to Trump address by left-wing Democratic lawmaker”

I’m more convinced now than ever before that leftists are actually demons sent from hell itself.

Why not?

They aren’t held accountable. Look at how they burned American cities to the ground night after night after night in 2020 during the “George Floyd” summer - and DA after DA dropped all charges.

Harris won 70%. But that'll change over time. Secular Jews will eventually lose their identity. Kind of like Kamala Harris' husband.

At the same time, Orthodox Jews will reproduce at a higher rate and you can already see the difference in states like New York (Orthodox Jewish Community in Brooklyn)

Doubtful. As Israel becomes more National Religious and Hareidi, emigration of religious Jews of all types from the US to Israel will increase, especially as religious Jews in the US are far more identifiable and subject to harassment than secular Jews. Also likely is that secular Israeli Leftists will leave for America.
