The Left’s Hamas Problem

How the Right can turn the pro-Palestine encampments into a disaster for Democrats

The pro-Palestine encampment drama could prove a disaster for the Left. Let me explain why, and how the Right can exploit it.

Most Americans do not understand the Israel-Palestine conflict or how it relates to the United States, but for good reason, most support Israel over Hamas. In this context, left-wing protestors will not be able to manipulate the emotions of sympathy and guilt on a mass scale, as they did with George Floyd. Ultimately, the spectacle of masked Antifa-style protestors occupying campuses over a foreign conflict and supporting Hamas-style “decolonization” does not offer a clear and significant upside.

But there is a significant potential downside.

This encampment escalation divides the Left, alienates influential supporters, and creates a sense of chaos that will move people against it. The correct response from the Right is to create the conditions for these protests to flourish in blue cities and campuses, while preventing them in red cities and campuses. If these protests become more volatile and go all the way to the Democratic Convention in Chicago, we could see a 1968 scenario. That didn’t work out too well for the Democrats.

In other words: make the Left own its pro-Hamas faction, or, alternatively, force the Left to deal with it – by breaking up the encampments, punishing wrongdoers, and restoring order, at whatever political cost this may exact. Let Ivy League presidents discover the consequences of their actions (or inactions)—and gently increase pressure from the outside.

If the Right can successfully keep order in its regions, as Florida governor Ron DeSantis has done so far, and keep the focus on the disorder overrunning left-wing jurisdictions – culminating, perhaps, in coalitional discord at the Democratic convention – it will move public opinion in our direction. One path to success in politics, after all, is shifting problems to your opponents—and capitalizing on them.

Yes you have. That is Cornell West and Jill Stein.

You're right.

The Peaceful Protesters, embolded from the support of their Professors forming a line to prevent their dispersal by 2PM today, break into Hamilton Hall on Campus and run wild.

Well, we all know breaking windows is an insurrection, so... there goes the Peaceful.



Hammer the Reds and make 2024 like the Dem Convention 1972.

"It's the Feds"

Okay, here's one of the window breakers caught on video. Seems to me long past being qualified for 2/3rd last salary retirement.

Maybe an non-traditional aged student? hahah

Looks like a member of the faculty, or a professional Leftist who probably started in the 70s.

They hate gay people therefore it's morally right to bomb their apartment buildings and drive them out of their land?

I don't wish for peace and an end to conflict there because I like Hamas. It's purely a principle. It's based exclusively in that I think it is wrong to engage in endless violence, for anybody to do that.

That's not the point. The pic shows the irony of LGBT types that give support to a group that would exterminate them.

They don't care that some, many, even all the Palestinians hate them, and they don't. Palestinians don't throw homosexuals off from roofs or execute them. That's happened I believe in Saudi Arabia. The Taliban treats homosexuality very negatively.

But usually they are not targeted because they are GAY, they are targeted because they are PEDOPHILES.

You're never told that in the West are you?

This war has been going on since 1948 and I know that every stop has been pulled out to brainwash the population into supporting ANYTHING Israel does and anything the United States does. When we were in Afghanistan, a constant reason given to stay was for "women's right", and "democracy". Our government doesn't give a shit about that and if it did, explain the US' partnership with Saudi Arabia?

Yet we constantly talk about this obvious bullshit. They are associating homosexuals and LGBTQ nonsense to discredit ANYBODY, like me, that opposes the conflict. You see this over, and over, and over again. You still fall for it. Why can't you see the pattern?

NEVER do we talk about the actual issues, ever. Always it's a distraction of some sort.

Israel wants an excuse to remove the Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza. Now if they can get away by killing them all, they'll do it, if they can get them to go into Egypt, fine, if they can force European nations to take them in, fine. They don't care. That's what is happening. It has nothing to do with the LGBTQ bullshit that is pushed here.

Don't you remember our propaganda floating the idea of Israel making agreements with European nations to export the Gaza population to? Must be nice to have a memory that only goes back 2 days.

In the other thread, she's ID'd by the NYPost as a lifelong leftoid agitator with 80+ Arrests.

She may see a steep learning curve of what happens when useful idiots stop being useful to the Dems.

Win-win either way!

Moderates and liberals who still vote Democrat are not thinking in the least.

The big divide is Democrat parents pulling their kids out of public schools due to LGBTQ social studies.

A friend and lifetime Democrat lives in an area zoned to a great public schools and has his kid attending private schools due to trans instruction. My wife and her sister(her sister is a die hard dem, my wife has now voted for Trump twice of her own accord, and did not vote for Gruesome either(she can’t stand any curent Dem politician) both approve of sending our nephew to Catholic school because they don’t want the kid being taught that he could actually be a girl. It’s a huge issue that’s not being vocalized. I hope Trump is smart enough to bring it up in debates.

A bunch of single grey haired hags should not be able to decide public policy for the nation.

Terrifying video shows the moment a mob of men brutally beat a lesbian couple who were out celebrating one of their birthdays.

Emma MacLean said she and her girlfriend, who she only identified as 'Tori,' were walking in downtown Halifax, Canada on June 22 when they first encountered a group of about 10 men they believe to be of Middle Eastern descent and from Syria.

I'm pretty sure they voted to flood Canada with Islamic men out of hatred for straight white men of Christian background.

Karma is a bitch.

The reasonably cute one on the left is not lesbian, maybe bi, and even the more manly looking one is questionable. Women are hardly ever real lesbians when they're young and cute, it's more of a trend brought on by modern Western leftism

republican party is poised to sweep. however guys please remember Bush years and republican parties disdain for the working class and the poor. that never left. that’s cultural now in both parties. don’t put your faith in any of them to bring golden age if democracy. oligarchy is best this nation is capable of.

Trump is not really Republican though. He's something else.

DemocratsAreTotallyFucked says

I know you're making a point, but don't quote that guy. He's borderline retarded. He's angry and has no skills in debate or conversation. He's a dumb fuck.

I'll listen and hear the left, but that dude is the worst of the worst.

Doesn't make him wrong on this

Interesting indicator

Speaking of shills, SISSON apparently just got fired by the Biden Camp or received instructions from the Dem NGO he works for to go against Biden

Seems not.

These example headlines were mere drops in the corporate media smear bucket. It’s all over corporate media. But stubborn Joe and his sidekick Hunter aren’t going anywhere. Make us.

In other words, a gigantic rupture has appeared in the Democrat party, between the Pro-Joe and Anti-Joe wings of the party.

Obvious joke with "been behind," "taken blows," "touched me in a way," "come," "pull out," and "happy ending." This reads like a frat boy wrote some satire.

I don't know. Most hardcore Dems I know are fucking idiots. They don't know satire or jokes. This may have been one of those cases of stepping into a joke and not knowing it or someone else wrote it and he posted it.

Yup. I just posted a meme on X and one of them replied "that's not real".

I replied back "Don't you know what parody or satire are?"

No response. And I don't think it was because she was embarrassed. More likely she just didn't understand what those terms meant even after she probably googled them.

DemocratsAreTotallyFucked says

Watch carefully what happens to this guy.
It will be instructive.
The oligarchy has decided that Trump will be allowed to win and the Dems must suffer severe electoral punishment. And a big part of that is keeping Biden in the race.

Loving this!
