The Colonization of the West (Or Killers in Our Midst)

Decolonization is all the progressive rage these days except when it comes to the places where they — and you and I — live.

According to the most up-to-date progressive thinking, it isn’t antisemitism to chant “Death to Israel.” All that chant really means is that the time has come for European colonizers (who just happen to be Jewish, you see) to leave Palestine. Peacefully, of course, except when terrorists force Jews to depart in body bags. Which is totally their fault.

But what is there to say when the chant evolves — as it must — from “Death to Israel” to “Gas the Jews, f*** the Jews?” Well, sane people would say that calling for the destruction of an entire people is wrong. Progressives, whether elites safe in their ivory towers or purple-haired Antifa sympathizers in the streets, either make excuses or endorsements depending on their individual level of brazenness.

What is there for the progressive left to say when we remind them that Israel (literally) decolonized the Gaza Strip in 2005, and all they got in return was nearly two decades of rocket attacks and last weekend’s spree of murder, rape, and kidnapping of civilians?

If I sound bitter, well… you read the news, too.

At last count, there were no less than 40 “spontaneous” pro-Hamas demonstrations across the United States following the Hamas terror invasion on Saturday.
