Most Leftists are impervious to facts and evidence. But not all.
“I said Israel should be ashamed – now I am the one who is ashamed,” by Daniel Sugarman, The JC, May 18, 2018 (thanks to Ralph):
It’s never easy to say you’re sorry.
To admit you’re wrong. To announce publicly, “I made a mistake”.
But to apologise when that apology comes bound up with what is, perhaps, the most intractable conflict on earth, makes it a thousand times harder.
But that is what I am. Sorry.
A few days ago I wrote a column about the latest round of violence on the border with Gaza.
It was a cry from the heart. I love Israel. I have always loved it, and cannot envision a time when I will not love it.
But in my office, I sit near a television set. And on Monday, I saw the following, side by side.
On the left, in Jerusalem, I saw happy faces. Self-congratulatory faces. I saw the Prime Minister of Israel talking about how the opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem was a big step towards peace.
And on the right, simultaneously, in Gaza, I saw tear gas, and smoke, and bullets.
And it was in this context that I wrote my piece, which was an extremely personal one. I wrote it in anguish. I wrote it making clear that I despised Hamas and all it stood for. But I also wrote the following:
“Every bullet Israel fires, every life Israel takes, makes this situation worse. There are ways to disperse crowds which do not include live fire. But the IDF has made an active choice to fire live rounds and kill scores of people. You cannot tell me that Israel, a land of technological miracles which have to be seen to be truly believed, is incapable of coming up with a way of incapacitating protestors that does not include gunning dozens of them down. But no. In front of the entire world, Israel keeps shooting, and protestors, including very young protestors, keep dying. You may tell me that Hamas wants these deaths, wants to create martyrs, wants to fill the hearts of the people of Gaza with rage against Israel because the alternative is for people to look at their lives in Gaza and rage against Hamas. But if you tell me that, why are you not asking yourselves why Israel is so willingly giving Hamas exactly what it wishes?”
I received a lot of praise for my piece, from people I admire greatly, as well as from a great many unexpected sources, including from within the Jewish community.
I also received a lot of criticism. I got called a traitor, and that most vile of all insults a Jew can bestow or receive, a “Kapo”.
People also wrote pieces in response. I was told that, as a Jew not currently living in Israel, my greatest worry was whether Starbucks would have almond-soya milk for my latte.
But the criticism I paid more attention to was from people who pointed out that it was absurd to deal in hypotheticals. I’d said that surely there must be a way the protestors could be stopped without shooting live ammunition at them – that Israel, with its incredible technological capabilities, must be capable of developing a way. That was a cry of anguish, but it was not an argument. If no such technology currently exists, then it was absurd of me to blame the IDF for not magically willing it into existence. The traditional crowd stopping technology would not have worked effectively. Rubber bullets are only short range. The same with water cannons. And with tens of thousands of people rushing the border, this would have been extremely unlikely to work effectively. The border would have been broken through. And then, without much of a doubt, a lot of people in Israel would have died. That was, after all, Hamas’s stated aim.
But what really affected me the most was yesterday, when a Hamas operative went on television and claimed that, of the 62 people killed in the last two days, fifty were Hamas operatives. Islamic Jihad claimed three more, meaning that over 80 percent of the people who were killed while trying to breach the border were members of terrorist organisations whose direct aim is to bring death and suffering into Israel.
And I opened my eyes and saw what I had done.
I had fallen into the trap I had always been convinced I would not fall into. I had condemned Israel for defending itself….

J D S says
Hamas Like any terrorist group or organization or just the every day Muslim Terrorist has only one thing on their mind. First to kill as many Jews as possible and anyone else who will not bow to their satanic way…I have to use the word SATANIC….I know no other word that fits their meanness.
No other religion uses terror tactics to FORCE one to join their religion Join or Die..Now what kind of people are these except terrorist…..So if the Israelites, or anyone else for that matter, must use whatever works best to stop these lost souls. And they are lost to Satan and the Lake of Fire.
Mike says
Indeed. Arab-Muslims are *masters* of propaganda, much better than Israelis.
That’s one area of innovation where they have Israel beat, hands down.
But watch, I’ll bet that NEXT TIME, the IDF will have non-lethal crowd control methods developed. I don’t know what, but that’s my guess.
Ray Jarman says
The problem Mike is that far left anti-Semitic press requires no assistance from Hamas or any other terrorist organization. It is those sitting in the editing rooms of these networks that choose what to send to the airways. Even when shown the one terrorist being carried on a stretcher and when he thought no one was viewing him, he leapt from it and walked away.
Paul says
You’ve got that right. Th press, hopefully more and more, is being ignored as a bunch of far-left shills.
BC says
The so called protesters have a simple choice, just stay at home. It must be obvious to the most stupid of them by now that they are not achieving their goal of being able to get into Israel and massacre Jews at will.Of course they are as brain washed as the people of every totalitarian state

Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Yes, Leftists refused to comply with dictates of mithraist Bible asking people to close their eyes so as not see the truth. The leftists have opened their eyes and saw the most wicked people on earth the fascist evil zionists carryingout mass killings of palestinians. mr spencer does not like that Exposure and as such he is quarreling with Leftists.
John Hawk says
Tell me, Ibrahim, which does the sulfurous stench of Islam destroy first, rational thinking or one’s conscience?
Buraq says
@ Ibe itace Muhamed
Ah Habibi, it’s such a pity that your black, Islamic soul cannot appreciate the poetry of The Bible you so often criticize. In Luke 15:10 of the King James Bible, you will find the following verse that sums up Daniel Sugarman’s situation.
Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
Dare to be a Daniel, habibi, dare to stand alone! Or, in other words, dare to give up that savage 7th Century creed, Islam. It rots the soul and numbs the conscience.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Buraq, you mean blacks cannot understand the mithraist bible because their hearts are blacks? you have now demonstrated the racist mindsets of white mithraist christians who consider blacks as outcastes pursuant to lie Ïn your mithraist bible that Noah cursed the ancestor of blacks for failure to cover his nakedness when he was drunk. Quran says blacks are equal to all races as prophet muhammad explained and demonstrated that Bilal as blackman will be next to him in the paradise.
BC says
Is that why the Muslims to this day look down on blacks and continue to enslave them as they have done since Mohammad’s day? Muslims have done more harm to both black and brown people than white people have ever done
Springer says
Don’t listen to Buraq, dog. If you leave islam you will no longer be free to enslave, beat and rape women – and you will have to take your ravenous eyes off 6-year olds – yeah I know m0 got away with it but m0 the pervert died 1400 years ago.
You also might consider speeding up your personal getaway to islamic paradise – allah-boy is running out of virgins – and the increasing rate of shahid creation is increasing the strain on in-house supply – speaking of which I saw ads offering “Virgin Recycling” franchises for sale – whats your thoughts on that idea – it looked like it was in Iran?
Kepha says
Hey, if you’re black, it’s the Arab Muslims whose common word for you–abid–meands “slave”; not white Christians in America. And it’s the white, Anglo-Saxons who had qualms about the African slave trade for as long as they were exposed to it, and developed their critique of it on their own (see Samuel Sewall’s 1689 tract _The Selling of Joseph_).
NellyMath137 says
Ibrahim you are a narrow minded stupid Muslim. let me ask you this, who taught you History? I am an African man dark brown of complexion, and I will be 43 in July. I was taught at age 11 about the SLAVE TRADE IN WEST AFRICA. THE MAIN CULPRITS WERE MUSLIM ARABS. I don’t what you are talking about Bilal in Paradise. these were LIES because the real name of ALLAH is LUCIFER. please read This ” Until, not even 150 years ago, millions of Africans had to bear a cruel fate. They were captured by slave hunters, chained together and forced to walk some times hundred of kilometres to be sold for example to planters who used them as cheap labour in their fields. Central and East Africa was one of the main areas where the slave hunters and traders, MOST OF THEM MUSLIM ARABS MADE THEIR SHADE DEALS. They caught their victims e.g. in some areas which is today parts of Democratic Republic of Congo and in the Western and Central parts of what is today Tanzania. The Slaves were brought to the coast and from there to the spice island of Zanzibar and many were sold further to the Arab countries, Persia, and India, Mauritania and Reunion. Officially, the slave trade was forbidden in 1873 under British pressure, but it went on secretly for several years. and still existent in some Muslim countries. One of the routes that were used by the traders’ caravan started in Ujiji at the shore of Lake Tanganyika. It went over 1200 kilometres and ended in Bagamoyo just opposite of Zanzibar on main land Tanzania. . IF IT WAS NOT FOR ARAB MUSLIMS SLAVE HUNTERS, TANZANIA WOULD HAD NEVER BEEN A MUSLIM COUNTRY.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Buraq, you mean blacks cannot understand the mithraist bible because their hearts are blacks? you have now demonstrated the racist mindsets of white mithraist christians who consider blacks as outcastes pursuant to lie Ïn your mithraist bible that Noah cursed the ancestor of blacks for failure to cover his nakedness when he was drunk,which is genesis of apartheidism in South Africa and blacks are now shot at sight by white mithraist christians in apartheid evil united states. Quran says blacks are equal to all races as prophet muhammad explained and demonstrated that Bilal as blackman will be next to him in the paradise.
Rarely says
A “black” heart or soul is not a reference to one’s skin colour of course. But you knew that already but want this discussion to be about race.
CogitoErgoSum says
Ibrahim, I think Buraq was talking about the darkness of the soul and not the blackness of the skin. Compare it to Quran 3:106
“on the day when [some] faces will turn white and [some] faces will turn black. As for those whose faces turn black [it will be said to them], ‘Did you disbelieve after your faith? So taste the punishment because of what you used to disbelieve.’ ”
Does that sound racist to you?
Springer says
Don’t listen to Buraq, dog. If you leave islam you will no longer be free to enslave, beat and rape women – and you will have to take your ravenous eyes off 6-year olds – yeah I know m0 got away with it but m0 the pervert died 1400 years ago.

back again, ibrahim? welcome!
so, do tell – what is fascist about zionists? why is protecting oneself from attack evil?
here’s a fun thought: if the israelis are carrying out mass killings, they must be pretty bad at it. weren’t there something like 30 000 people involved at one point? why weren’t the death tolls higher – say, 10 000? and here’s the best part: if israel is so bad at deliberately killing “unarmed” civilians, what does that say about the muslim armies that have failed against them so often? perhaps all the muslim soldiers were more worried about stealing booty and raping little girls than fighting. typical gang bangers.
BC says
If the Israelis really were the Nazis that ‘palestinians ‘ and other Muslims like to portray them, Gaza would not exist in the first place.

Like most ‘journalists’, Sugarman needs to get all the facts before filing an opinion. I do not forgive him though he asks for forgiveness.because he wakes in the morning trying to find fault. He makes judgements without seeking ALL the evidence. He’d make a lousy detective.
Mark Swan says
From what I have heard, most of the shooting casualties are Hamas members—
if so—Israel’s intelligence is able to target them within the crowd pretty well.
Bringing children to the border and allowing them to be jeopardized—
this is the cruelty of Hamas—No parent would bring them there with
all this commotion, without some sort of coercion .
b.a. freeman says
umm-m-m … maybe not. islam is a pretty nasty cult, and its adherents are only *guaranteed* jannah (heaven) if they die “fighting in the way of allah,” or killing kuffar. muslims are, by and large, *quite* religious, and are *very* concerned with getting into jannah. if they can guarantee a child will get there, then they are likely to seek the child’s death to ensure it.
of course, like all other people, not all muslims are that pious. needless to say, however, it isn’t that hard for hamas to load up the buses with women and children. the fault for that lies with the pirate cult.

Charlie says
Dear Daniel Sugarman
Why not make your apology a little bigger. I seem to recall how Trump and his voting base, including non-Jewish people were labelled as “racist” and “bigots” and “Islamophobes” and “haters”…etc…Now Trump is in Jerusalem showing support for Israel’s defense, and the media who consistently malignes and impugns him are shilling for Hamas. The irony drips like sludge from a rusty sewer pipe that city services refuses a permit to repair. Speak up for the little people who seek the truth, not the myopic, shallow, unexamined narrative. Make an apology not just to your kith and kin, but to those who stand with you.
I am waiting.

Charlie, as a Trump voter (albeit a reluctant one) who recalls his not-all-white family being treated decently enough in the heart of “Redneck”, “flyover” country, I agree wholeheartedly.

Bravo for opening your eyes a little now open your mind to what is really happening around the world and educate the rest of the left leaning jewish population in the west to the existential threat that the spread of radical Islamic ideology and mass muslim immigration poses to not only jews, but to Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and any other religious groups that Islam sees as unbelievers, theirs for the taking and slaughter.
Gamzu says
I noticed, Tom, that you capitalized Buddhist, Hindu, Christian, and Sikh, but not Jew or Jewish (or Muslim). Hmmm
Tom says
Hmmm yourself.
I respect those people as I do all who want to just be left alone to live their lives in peace.
There are greater issues to be dealt with than just a mistyping error and my time too valuable to give any more to address such a silly comment.

I’m glad it was just a typo. But the comment was not silly. Not capitalizing Jew, unfortunately, is a common, intentional practice of Alt Right Jew-haters.

Mr. Sugarman it takes great strength to admit you were wrong. Next time try to look at all the facts before writing your column
Mockingjay says

Hugh Fitzgerald says
I don’t understand — didn’t Mr. Sugarman see, over the past six weeks, all the Molotov cocktails, pipe bombs, kites with swastikas painted on them, their tails set alight, and even the odd grenade or gun among the Hamas-directed marchers? Didn’t he see the videos of Israeli leaflets –warning marchers not to approach the fence — falling from planes, or sea the Israeli trucks with loudspeakers broadcsting the same warnings? Didn’t he see all the volleys of tear gas and rubber bullets, until finally, reluctantly, only as a last resort, did the Israelis use live fire, and did their best to aim below the knees of those who had made it to the security fence? All of that should have been enough to set him straight on what was going on. There was no need to learn about the number of Hamas members among the dead.
Yokel says
No, he didn’t see all those things. His eyes were blinded to them, just like the eyes of the vast majority of people in the world. [Here at JW we are an exception.]
But Praise the Lord, the Lord God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob. Now his eyes have been opened. And Mr Sugarman has done what all repentant sinners must do. Apologise for the sin that he committed, and do his best to restore the status quo ante. For which he wrote an article in the same journal as the piece he wrote in error. Trashing him for not knowing reality before the Lord opened his eyes to that reality will do nothing. Give the Lord credit for being able to bring him (Sugarman) on in His (God’s) own time.
Rarely says
It doesn’t matter what the provocation, lethal force is not justified by Int’l Law unless certain criteria are met.
By what I’ve seen I believe those criteria were met here. Initially it wasn’t that clear from the media coverage and the Palestinians have had lots of practice in displaying their “victims” for the greatest effect. (It’s often hard to tell if a particular video is of a real victim or an actor.)
That Hamas was stupid enough to admit that this was their operation and not a “peaceful” civilian demonstration moves it to another level — that of a real attack intended to breach the border and cause death and mayhem.
Israel should be called to task when it acts badly like any other country. The huge problem is that the world (not just the media) judges Israel against a higher set of standards than it does any other country. The UN, of course, is off the charts when it comes to Israel and that certainly doesn’t help.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Ba Freeman, you have also decided to close your eyes from reality of what is happening to palestinians and buy the naked lie of fascist evil zionist state defending itself. The international community refuse to accept that nonsense. As such you liars and deceivers remain isolated. History will judge you wrong for supporting and applauding wicknedness by the most wicked people on earth.
Rarely says
The Palestinians certainly are victims (perpetual ones I might add) and the life style in, for example, Gaza leaves a lot to be desired. They would do themselves a favour if they would realistically attempt to identify their real victimizers.
Unfortunately their blind adherence to an inherently violent and aggressive religion and the power they have ceded to a remarkably dishonest self serving leadership keep them in ignorance and in a perpetual state of war.
If they would spend a little less time in a state of outrage and victimhood and a little more on improving their own society things would be dramatically different. They are under the great delusion that if Israel didn’t exist their world would be ideal. As if life is great in Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, etc.
Try building and not destroying and see what happens. If your leadership will let you.
Why do you put up with that?
Marco says
Ibrahim I will pray that you are healed, because you are clearly suffering from some evil spell. Calling Christians Mithraists, an early Roman cult. Like most who are afflicted with Islam your only knowledge of Christianity, what small knowledge you have, is Roman Catholic, which by the way is not the mithraist cult you allude to. You are filled with hatred and blood lust. I will pray for you.

And the Mithraists didn’t arise until a century or so after the New Testament was written, and, of course, loooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggg after the OT was complete and known.

Hajj Amin al Husseini is seldom mentioned today but he deserves a truckload of credit for the hideous monstrosity his “team” has become.. the muslim killers who today call themselves “palestinians”, Hamas etc. Jews have been butchered by muslim beasts ever since the twenties. Hitler was impressed with the grand mufti’s plan to turn the middle east into a mega-nazi death camp and would have supported the al Husseini plan if he hadn’t been so busy slaughtering his neighbors, Jews, homosexuals, and everybody else who he disliked or whose property looked good to him and his fat friend Hermann Goring.

When Hamas says “sixty were killed” real journalists would ask for verification. Those that parrot statistics issued by a terror organization are merely assisting in propaganda. I have seen no impartial verification of the claimed death toll.

Allah’s apostle Racist Remarks/OFFICIAL RACISM OF ISLAM
These are just a small sample of the racist remarks made by outstanding figures in Islamic intellectual history.
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah’s Apostle said, “You should listen to and obey, your ruler even if he was an Ethiopian (black) slave whose head looks like a raisin.”
Sahih Bukhari 9:89:256, Qur’an 39:60
And on the day of resurrection you shall see those who lied against Allah; their faces shall be blackened. Is there not in hell an abode for the proud?
Ishaq:243 “I heard the Apostle say: ‘Whoever wants to see Satan should look at Nabtal!’
He was a black man with long flowing hair, inflamed eyes, and dark ruddy cheeks…. Allah sent down concerning him: ‘To those who annoy the Prophet there is a painful doom.”
[9:61] “Gabriel came to Muhammad and said, ‘If a black man comes to you his heart is more gross than a donkey’s.’”
Ishaq:144 “A rock was put on a slave’s chest. When Abu Bakr complained, they said, ‘You are the one who corrupted him, so save him from his plight.’ I will do so,’ said Bakr. ‘I have a black slave, tougher and stronger than Bilal, who is a heathen. I will exchange him. The transaction was carried out.”
-Tabari II:11 “Shem, the son of Noah was the father of the Arabs, the Persians, and the Greeks; Ham was the father of the Black Africans; and Japheth was the father of the Turks and of Gog and Magog who were cousins of the Turks. Noah prayed that the prophets and apostles would be descended from Shem and kings would be from Japheth. He prayed that the African’s color would change so that their descendants would be slaves to the Arabs and Turks.”
-Tabari II:21 “Ham [Africans] begat all those who are black and curly-haired, while Japheth [Turks] begat all those who are full-faced with small eyes, and Shem [Arabs] begat everyone who is handsome of face with beautiful hair. Noah prayed that the hair of Ham’s descendants would not grow beyond their ears, and that whenever his descendants met Shem’s, the latter would enslave them.”
-Tabari IX:69 “Arabs are the most noble people in lineage, the most prominent, and the best in deeds. We were the first to respond to the call of the Prophet. We are Allah’s helpers and the viziers of His Messenger. We fight people until they believe in Allah. He who believes in Allah and His Messenger has protected his life and possessions from us. As for one who disbelieves, we will fight him forever in Allah’s Cause. Killing him is a small matter to us.”
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith – 38,
Narrated AbudDarda’
Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said: Allah created Adam when He had to create him and He struck his right shoulder and there emitted from it white offspring as if they were white ants.
He struck his left shoulder and there emitted from it the black offspring as if they were charcoal. He then said (to those who had been emitted) from the right (shoulder): For Paradise and I do not mind. Then He said to those (who had been emitted) from his left shoulder: They are for Hell and I do not mind.
“Narrated Anas bin Malik:’’
The Prophet said to Abu-Dhar, ‘Listen and obey (your chief) even if he is an Ethiopian with a head like a raisin.’” And this: Ahmad ibn Abi Sulayman, the companion of Sahnun said,
“Anyone who says that the Prophet was black should be killed” (Ibn Musa al-Yahsubi, Qadi ‘Iyad, p.375).
And there is this from the celebrated historian Al-Tabari: “Noah prayed that the hair of Ham’s descendants [Africans] would not grow beyond their ears, and that whenever his [Ham’s] descendants met Shem’s, the latter would enslave them” (Al-Tabari, Vol. 2, p. 21, p. 21). ….. Roh]

They are everywhere described as stupid.” – Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406), “The Muqaddimah,” trans. Franz Rosenthal, (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1967), 63

I5 – 2o years ago when l was a kid l noticed that Jews from around the world especially American Jews seem to hate Israel!?! Most American Jews are Democraps/liberals as we all know. For some odd reason they don’t like Israel defending itself. This is all very weird to me. As l got older l realized that most likely it’s because Democrap/liberal ideology is their master and they must agree w/ the mothership on all issues no matter how complex they may be. It still baffles the mind but l honestly quit trying to understand liberals and why they do what they do as liberalism is a mental disease, l know this because of my career is psychology.
Perhaps most American Jews don’t hate Israel but most American Jews certainly hate Israel’s right to defend itself. How on earth their supposed to stay a viable entity in the Middle East w/o defending itself is the question liberals would have to somehow try to answer with their diluted demented minds.
Another notable fact is that here we have a so called “journalist” that is a proprietor of fake news and he doesn’t know fake news is being disseminated at an alarming rate about the United States embassy in Jerusalem and Israel being forced to defend it-self!?!

Islam were old men who rule the tribes get, older, richer, marry young girl even children ,while the masses of followers send their own women and children to die so their slave master rulers can get richer living to ripe old age. Yes they expect all others non-believe to just roll over and submit to allah or die without a fight, they expect all others Jew Christian , Hundus , atheist ,to hand over their wives, children ,freedom .When the non-believers defend themselves they are called racist, by MSM,OWG people who live far away in gate communities ,or religious leaders like the Pope who live in a armed palace guarded 24/7.The blood of Palestinian children is on Hamas hands sending children to die at the fences while their leaders howl in their well guarded houses far from the action they have caused. The leader,s children sent off to school in nice places in Europe as their wives and girl friends spend the Palestinian humanity donation money on shopping sprees in Paris. That is the ticket in Islam slave or master live a miserable life for you and your children ,die while your leaders use you as a prop to squeeze more money from Jewish , Christian progressives on a moral guilt trip we in the West should be guilt to be alive , peaceful,, with freedom living simple lives .Think of all the money, time, lives lost defending yourselves against a failed system , then even have to justify defending yourself from progressive morons on a self imposed guilt trip guilt they are alive and free. Next time one of them opens their mouth tell them they could just hand over their bank accounts, their children ,their houses, their wives to the Islamics because that is what they want, that is what they demand ,that is what they the best of people should have.

If one man can see how he was wrong, repent, and admit it publicly, may we not hope for many other such cases?
I write this as someone who has little faith in humanity’s ability to do much good. I personally believe that events and history are on the side of Islam. That isn’t because Allah has ordained it. That is because weak and self-loathing Westerners have empowered it and enabled it.
But maybe I am wrong in paragraph two. Maybe there is hope. Maybe change does occur one person at a time.
I just hope the pace picks up dramatically.
Soon.

WBSM says
“Over 80 percent” that the terrorists themselves are admitting. We don’t know the rest. We know the baby who died surely wasn’t a terrorist, but whoever brought the baby there, was most likely a terrorist, and of the worst kind… I would think that easily all 100 percent of the dead and injured were terrorists or brought there to be killed by terrorists.
