7 October attack - The left and 7 October

The left and 7 October

The Western left has been an apologist for Islamic terrorist evil against Israel for many decades. But after the Hamas massacre, the left really descended into the depths of hell.

All my life, I wondered how the West would react in a new Holocaust. On 7 October, I found out. Western leftists would ignore it, make excuses for it, or even cheer it on. Stand up against it? Absolutely not. The left is all about "punching Nazis" until we have actual genocidal Nazis killing Jewish families. Then the left does not give a shit.

• Twitter thread: All the Irish people who have supported Hamas over the years.

• People Before Profit's support for 7 October

• "Progressives" and the Hamas Pogrom: An A-Z Guide, by Alan Johnson, rounds up some of the sick, depraved responses to the massacre. It was the greatest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, and the left did not give a shit. Some even defended the massacre.
• Much of the West was disgraced by the reaction. As Johnson says: "Those who say that Jews in the West live among pogromists-in-waiting and pogrom-apologists-in-waiting will feel vindicated."
• Anti-Israel people and groups who celebrated the massacre. Includes Norman Finkelstein.

• Thread of appalling 7 October responses from: UNICEF, WHO, Amnesty, Red Cross, UN Human Rights, UNRWA, Save the Children, Doctors Without Borders, UN Special Rapporteur, HRW, Oxfam, Open Society Foundations, EU, UN Women, World Vision.
• The greatest single failure in the history of the entire global "human rights" industry.

• The Things I Never Thought Possible - Until October 7. Mathias Dopfner, December 11, 2023, rounds up the inadequate and terrible reactions to the October 7 genocide of Jews from, among others:
  • Muslim nations.
  • The Pope.
  • Other Christian leaders.
  • Feminist groups.
  • The UN.
  • Young Americans.
  • University heads.

• Huge list of post 7 Oct protests showing which ones had support for Hamas, intifada, antisemitic speech, etc. See archived copy in case (very likely) reddit deletes it.

• Almost all Palestinians support the barbaric massacre. Of course they do.
  • Einat Wilf lays it out in black and white: "Where .. are the large scale Palestinian protests demanding Hamas release the abducted hostages? ... Where .. is the sole Palestinian protester standing in Times or Trafalgar Square with a sign that says "Not in My Name"? ... Where is the one Palestinian intellectual who will write an op-ed expressing deep shame that acts of the greatest cruelty in human history were carried out in the name of "Free Palestine" and "From the River to the Sea"?"
  • Most Palestinians have no universal morals, no universal ethics, since they were not brought up with any. They were brought up to believe in "the struggle", not in universal ethics. They have no intellectual foundation on which to oppose war crimes against Jews.

How at this point can anyone be interested in the "grievances" of these sadistic killers?
It's like being interested in Hitler's "grievances".

When Israel defended itself after 7 October, Israel-haters rapidly started calling Israel's actions a "genocide".
Here is a deranged video imagining a "Gaza Genocide Museum" in 2040.

• Will these "memorial" museums and feature films also include the massacre of Jewish families, the rape and killing of Jewish women in their homes and at a music festival, and the parading of their bodies to screaming crowds in Gaza streets? Or will they be editing all that out?
• It is like a video by a dystopian future fascist state, angry that the Jews defended themselves for a few years. Like a video made by the regime in The Man in the High Castle.
• In fact the video is made by a fascist state, the regime of Turkey, which is a dictatorship.
• Ironically, of course, the Turkish regime denies the Armenian Genocide.

One of the most disgusting things written about 7 October by any Irish person:
A letter to all my friends who tell me to feel happy, Colin Sheridan, Irish Examiner, 14 Nov 2024.
He asks why "we" have not supported the Palestinians enough for his liking. "Why? Because they are brown or Muslim? ... Because they choose to resist, and the violence of that resistance repulses us, despite the very freedoms we enjoy we owe to violent, desperate resistance against an occupying, colonising power?"
Jesus. Making excuses for "violent resistance", i.e. the rape and slaughter of young people at a music festival, and the burning alive of families by racists. A sick, sick article.

Dan Cohen is a radical left Jewish-American activist against Israel.
He had family killed in the Holocaust.
And here on 7 Oct 2024 he posts maybe the sickest thing anyone has ever posted about the Holocaust.

The western left's final disgrace, in 2023.
