New in PJ Media:
After the horrifying images of what Hamas did in Israel on Saturday went around the world, it’s hard to believe that anyone came out in support of the Palestinian jihad. But numerous leftists found a way and seized the opportunity of the bloody massacre of hundreds of innocent Israeli civilians to advance anti-Israel talking points.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Ramallah) led the way with a statement that was a masterpiece of blame-shifting and displacement of responsibility. After seeing ordinary Israelis massacred wholesale at a peace festival, on the street, and in their homes, Tlaib began by putting the perpetrators and their victims on equal footing: “I grieve the Palestinian and Israeli lives lost yesterday, today, and every day. I am determined as ever to fight for a just future where everyone can live in peace, without fear and with true freedom, equal rights, and human dignity.”
Once she had that boilerplate out of the way, Tlaib detailed what she thinks could be done to establish that gloriously just and peaceful future: “The path to that future must include lifting the blockade, ending the occupation, and dismantling the apartheid system that creates the suffocating, dehumanizing conditions that can lead to resistance.” Translation: all those dead Israelis an aghast world saw Saturday were Israel’s fault. Israel must lift the blockade, that is, allow a free flow of the latest, most sophisticated weaponry into Gaza and the West Bank. It must end the “occupation,” which would involve leaving lands to which only Israel has any actual legal right. And it must dismantle the “apartheid system,” that is, let each and every Palestinian, even ones who are armed to the teeth and screaming “Death to Israel,” enter the country without any screening whatsoever. About Hamas’ atrocities, meanwhile, Tlaib said nary a word.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) was likewise indifferent to Israeli suffering. She tweeted on Saturday, “Reminder, Gaza doesn’t have shelters or an iron dome and to please pray for them. May peace prevail in the region and move us towards a moral awakening to care about the human suffering we are seeing. Palestinians are human beings who have been in besieged [sic] and are deserving of protection from the international community.” If any people have been besieged, it is the Israelis, but Omar could not spare a word for them.
Other leftists fell into lockstep as well. Code Pink tweeted on Sunday — the day after massacres took place all over Israel because its security measures were breached — “PALESTINE WILL BE FREE! In D.C. today, we called on Biden to stop arming apartheid and impose sanctions on Israel!” On Monday, the old leftist flagship publication, The Nation, ran a piece entitled, “Gaza Is a Nightmare Today, but We Will Not Stop Dreaming of Freedom.” The subtitle: “This war is happening for one reason: the prolonged suffering and occupation that Palestinians have endured for seven decades.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

I guess Omar and Tlaib are too dense to understand that non muslims dont want to live anywhere near muslim populations. Gosh, I wonder why? And as far as code pink “women for peace” they are to dense to survive Darwin’s law of natural selection. The people slaughtered at the Supernova music festival were there to celebrate peace you stinking code pink morons. I do want to thank these lefties for outing themselves as the baby killer supporters that they are. That is very courteous of them. Don’t worry none, we wont forget.

“please pray for them”:to whom Omar?Omar’s evil god of the kaaba?
Your allah {hubaal of the kaaba}:the god that insists that all non-muslims are the ‘Worst of created beings”?
Your allah that insists women are stupid and have to wear a bag on their head{despite the fact he doesn’t even understand Biology- so he knows LESS than any woman today}?
PALESTINE WILL BE FREE the lefties shout
Sure-FREE-of hamas soon enough

I’m all for world peace but such hypocrisy from affluent middle class lefties is hilarious.
That word Apartheid used against Israel?islam has an APARTHEID RELIGION that refers to us non-muslims as the ‘WORST of created beings”.
The rape and beating of women is permitted in islam.Go live in Iran and see how much women wearing pink is appreciated.
Spare a thought dear feminists for the Israeli women beaten and stripped by those brave,demonic ‘soldiers of allah’.
There is no excuse for what hamas did.In fact hamas have made it very difficult now for ordinary palestinians.
Go hug a tree:i’m sure you will be eating bugs soon.Standing up for women?Really?
Charles Stephan says
These same leftists call anyone who disagrees with them or supports Trump to be Nazis; yet the left openly supports people with a literal Nazi platform of killing Jews.
