Standing by their principles…or not
Following the various condemnations of Israel by the intellegentsia, it’s interesting to see them loyally stand fast with each other. Until someone objects and they do a 180.
In general the “Squad” has come down squarely on the side of Hamas. In view of recent news of masscres and even Hamas-murdered children from IDF forces, one would hope that the Democrat leadership would express some displeasure – even the White House described their statements as “disgraceful”, right? Not so:
Members of the far-left “Squad” are getting a pass from Democratic Party leadership in Congress over what the Biden administration described Tuesday as a “disgraceful” response to the atrocities committed against Israel by Hamas over the weekend, including the execution of children.
Fox News Digital asked House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., to go on the record with their views concerning the comments made by Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.; Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.; Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.; and Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., in the wake of the brutal attacks. Neither would offer a direct response.
Jeffries’ office did not respond to Fox at all, while Schumer’s office pointed to a statement he released over the weekend condemning a pro-Hamas demonstration in Times Square following the attacks. Fox News
Said rally was held by the Democratic Socialists of America, the socialist party to which all six Squad members and which endorsed Bernie Sanders in 2020. In fairness, AOC also condemned the rhetoric at the same rally – before essentially saying “Israel started it”.
“It should not be hard to shut down hatred and antisemitism where we see it. That is a core tenet of solidarity.”
“The bigotry and callousness expressed in Times Square on Sunday were unacceptable and harmful in this devastating moment. It also did not speak for the thousands of New Yorkers who are capable of rejecting both Hamas’ horrifying attacks against innocent civilians as well as the grave injustices and violence Palestinians face under occupation,” she added. Fox News II
Then we get backpedaling from the Squad folks themselves:
U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, said Wednesday evening her critics are purposefully distorting her position to make it seem she is sympathetic to Hamas and its attacks on Israel, which she called “war crimes.”
Speaking to the Free Press, Tlaib ? who is the target of a censure resolution filed by another member of the Michigan congressional delegation for her comments ? said there is no defense for the atrocities committed by the group, which the U.S. government labels a terrorist organization. Detroit Free Press
She quickly tries to switch topics and blame Israel for the attacks on the Gaza community in a classic case of whataboutism.
But neither, she added, is there for any extreme retribution exacted by Israel on the civilians in the Gaza Strip from where the attacks were launched or the human rights violations committed by Israel against Palestinians under its control.Detroit Free Press
And of course there is the bastion of calling out subversives, the Southern Poverty Law Center:
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a left-wing organization that tracks and labels so-called “hate groups” across the country, is remaining silent on whether Black Lives Matter (BLM) and the Democratic Socialists of America’s (DSA) actions following Hamas’s deadly attack on Israelis raise ‘hate’ concerns.
BLM Grassroots called the Iran-backed terrorist group’s attacks “desperate acts of self-defense.” The DSA promoted a New York City pro-Hamas rally and said the incursion was a “direct result of Israel’s apartheid regime.” Fox News III
Moms asking about pedophile textbooks – dangerous subversives. Baby-beheading supporters – nada, nic, ni’chevo, rien, nothin’. Think the only consistent thing about any of ’em – you just know wealthy Jewish and pro-Israel supporters are bound to have called up and said words to the effect of “better moderate your stance or my money goes elsewhere” as they change their tune.

AOC logic,
The Squad will be pleased to know we have our first verified day of rage terror attack with several children and teachers being knifed in France.

These jackwagons chanting “gas the Jews” and cheering Hamas’ butchers will be crying this weekend as the full weight of the IDF’s counter-attack lands on Gaza with both feet.
They’ll want your sympathy for the “women and children” in Gaza. I’m sorry no, but no sympathy for innocent Israelis means no sympathy for yours.
This is a war Hamas WANTED…they WANTED this…well, ask and ye shall receive.
IDF will secure Gaza and kill anything that resists.
Never again will I give…
These domestic enemies of our Republic want to stand with Ham-Ass? Send them on over there. They best be concerning themselves with the millions of potential terrorists that have been allowed to come into this country and are just laying in wait.
Prepare
Ham-ass hahahaha…I’m using that and giving you full credit.
Yes, all these sissy boys on college campus wouldn’t last a NY minute in a combat zone. The IDF has 18-year old females that are 10 times the man these latte sipping, man bun having, and IPhone addicted Betas.
These sissy boys on college campuses wouldn’t last 10 seconds in a Saturday night bar brawl.
They call those bitch-biscuits, HT3, not man buns.
They’re not concerned KoB, because they support them. All part of their plan.
What these useful idiots don’t realize is that will be eliminated when they are no longer needed. Ferals turn on their own. They may keep AOC around for awhile to use as a brood mare.
It’s a big tent party. A few atrocities will fit right in.
Good to know when the police engage in desperate attempts at self defense BLM will have their backs.
It’s potato harvest season around here. Very wet year is making
a real mess of the fields but those taters are gettin dug anyway.
The now barren fields show the work of the farmer and his tools.
Maybe a week or so from now Gaza will look like a harvested
potato field complete with tractor and harvester tracks all in
nice neat rows, awaiting a new Spring planting.
The wealthy father potato says to his daughter, Don’t marry Lowel Thomas, he’s just a common tater
IPM is saying GTFO out of Gaza, we are going to make it parking lot. Hamas is trying to keep a few so that they have human shields.
https://www.foxnews.com/world/israel-warns-civilians-northern-gaza-evacuate-area-24-hours-safety
And Hamas tells their “innocent” civilians to stay put and ignore the warnings. If they really wanted out of their “open air prison,” you’d think they’d take this prime opportunity to GTFO.
Has Egypt opened their doors to the poor, misunderstood Palestinians yet?
Nope. Their border with Gaza is shut tight.
So, since today is the “international day of Jihad” or some shit, I asked my boss if concealed carry was approved at work today. He just smiled and sipped his coffee.
Our local military installation is on liberal leave. It’s awesome there’s no traffic with 20,000 less people on the road.
Not exactly a no.
Serious question for discussion – since Hamas is the duly elected government of Gaza with supposedly over 70% of the vote in the last election, can the people be considered innocent civilians? Hamas campaigned – and won – against Fatah for being weak and corrupt where they would be strong and bring the terror to the hated occupiers, are those who voted for this innocent?
Also, called it yesterday. The “safe passage” to Egypt would not be used because a)Hamas would tell people not to leave, and b) see above.
“There will be no peace until Arab mothers love their children more than they hate ours”. Golda Meir (paraphrased)
No such thing as an innocent in Gaza. Kill them all, raze everything, and salt the earth.
That is how they ended up in Gaza to begin with. I guess they just didn’t push them far enough.
I think the election that installed Hamas may have been about as trustworthy as Maricopa County.
As Hamass is designated as a terrorist organization, when they became the governing body of the fake palestinians, they ALL became terrorists or terrorist supporters.
I’ll say the children are innocents in this. I’m sure there are also some decent Palestinians. It certainly doesn’t seem to be a large percentage though. Even the Palestinians that have left the area haven’t exactly done anything to distance themselves from the atrocities of Hamas.
They had entire crowds of animals, er, people, beating hostages with sticks as they passed them through the crowd. As pointed out by the post’s above, no shit’s will be given by me if the gazan’s get between the murderers and the IDF. Having said that, I believe there should be a cease-fire. The Israelis should cease fire when every last one of those bastards is dead.
Ham-ass got principles?! Who knew?!
And for the past few years, conservatives have been compared to Nazi’s, referred to as racists and anti-Semitic, and a host of other characterizations.
Anyone who has been paying attention recognizes it’s the Democrats (and by extension, the left) who are the ones who actually live their lives with those values.
Right out of Goebel’s and Alinsky’s playbooks.
