Democracy Not Now; The Progressive Left's Embrace Of Fascism And Hypocrisy

     The left continues its selective embrace of violence, intolerance, hatred and bigotry. Their hypocrisy strengthens what they say they oppose, like the far right.

      There are evils in this world that have nothing to do with Israel or the west. But if Israel in particular cannot somehow be implicated, the progressive left is unconcerned. 

     Rules the progressive left (and many others) lives by - oppression is bad. But Islamic oppression must be ignored because they have victimhood status. Victims must never be criticized or challenged. Victims are always right.

     There must be equal rights for women, but hugely unequal rights in the Islamic world, including stoning women to death, must be ignored.

     There must be equal rights for gays and lesbians, but murdering gays and lesbians in the Islamic world, including by the state, must be ignored.
      There must be religious freedom, but not so for Islamic nations. They can do as they want, including state sponsored murder for blasphemy and apostasy. 

     Minorities must not be oppressed or discriminated against. But Islamic oppression of non Muslim minorities must be ignored.
      Genocide, mass rape, and mass murder must be ignored if it is in the Islamic world, or if it is black on black genocide, such as what has been occurring  in the Congo, or if it is Arab against black genocide, such as in Darfur.

     Islamic nations do not have to be democratic. They can be oppressive, religious theocracies. As long as they are not Jews, they can do whatever they want.

      Islamic imperialism, war mongering and aggression must be ignored. Only western imperialism and warmongering can be attacked.

       Regarding Israel, the only acceptable narrative is that it is an oppressive, occupying nation. No mention must be made that the small Jewish state, on a small piece of land, is in the midst of a giant Islamic sea where hundreds of millions of Muslims want nothing more than to kill Jews. This is not a paranoid statement. It is the openly stated aspiration that the smallest amount of research easily uncovers. No mention can be made that Israel itself is a democratic state with religious freedom.

        No mention can be made of the hundreds of thousands of Jews that were driven out from Arab Muslim majority lands in the middle east and North Africa, and forced to flee to the state of Israel. The descendants of these Jews from the middle east and North Africa now make up Israel's majority population. Only Palestinian Arab refugees can be spoken about. Jewish refugees from Arab and other majority Islamic nations must be ignored. 

         Demonizing Israel is politically correct. Criticizing Palestinian Arabs or other Arabs or Muslims is racist and not politically correct. 

         Jew hatred is acceptable. Bigotry is selectively acceptable.

         Only the faults of Israel can be spotlighted. No spotlight can be cast on Islamic nations, especially if they are anti west. 

         When Stalin was mass murdering, the left were cheerleaders, refusing to believe reports of what really was taking place in the Soviet Union. It was not the workers paradise the left imagined. 

          The progressive left remains hypocritical in their denunciations of racism, bigotry, and violence, and in their selective, exclusionary quest to end oppression. Insufferable leftists have made enormous contributions to human suffering.
