The traits of Gen Z make this cohort uniquely susceptible to the Palestinian cause – and threaten to make Donald Trump president again. This is not our grandparents’ McCarthyist nightmare of communist
I agree with everything except your concluding paragraph. These shrieking, self-contradictory, anencephalic bitter radical Gen-Zers, along with the rest of the antisemitic, anti Zionist left, by abandoning the Democratic party and opting to "sit out" the election, will be handing the election to Trump because they want to cut off their nose to spite their face. But make no mistake: Trump has no love for Iran, rabble-rousing Muslim extremists, and obvious Arab foreign meddling. By failing to reign in Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and the rest of the antisemitic squad, as well as neglecting to disavow Linda Sarsour and her ilk, what played out in the congressional inquiries into antisemitism on campus last fall and spring will come full bloom election time. Fortunately, most of America has had enough of the student protesters, and will happily throw any Democrat babies out with the antiAmerican bathwater. The anti-Israel protesters and their supporters will be in for a rude awakening if Trump wins in November.
The only thing I don’t agree with the author about is her blind spot for the realities and dangers of communism. Sadly, it never really ended (see China, Cuba, aspects of Russia (even still.- when Russian people think Stalin was a good guy and their parent’s pulled down his statues, pictures, and name from almost everything after he died because they hated the thuggish butcher, well….longing for the “good old days when we were respected as communists” isn’t such a stretch.And admiring an ex-KGB member as Ruler-for-life, even while understanding that all of their systems have been horribly corrupt for generations, is also an indication that communism never really died, it’s just morphed, mostly just on the economic side of things, NOT ideologically nor less dangerously so.) Sadly it was unsurprising that Russia invaded Ukraine, especially after getting away with invading and taking Crimea- again!
The long march through the institutions and propaganda in the form of “decolonization by any means necessary” has been taught by professors and teachers in colleges and schools, as well as by questionable persons and organizations on line and in person. Sigh 😔 there’s just so much to unpack there. Go have a look if you have time.
Yikes. Wait … what? I hope I didn’t appear to underestimate the horrors of communism! Let me assure you … I recognize and mourn the millions murdered and hundreds of millions oppressed by communism! (BTW, I’m a dude named “Pat.” LOL)
Awesome. Can't wait. Gen Z will save the day, Satanic Jews not included.
I thought this person was being facetious. But then I saw they blocked me. So, they used the term "Satanic Jews" unironically. Point taken.
I wonder what Baháʼí think about "from the river to the sea?"
And Israel’s Christian Arabs…or are they Arab enough to be ‘safe’?
Yup. Scary. Maybe more walls and Muslim bans coming to a North American country near you soon!
Excellent analysis - something I've long wondered about - although I disagree with your position on Trump - ot that it matters at all
Edit: not that it matters at all typo
