Are you worried about the conflation of these two groups of people? Well, they're saying the same thing and they say that they want the same thing. So yeah, I think we could probably conflate them. That CNN lady did an earnest performance of a Norm Macdonald comedy bit.
There's a great Norm Macdonald bit where he says, my greatest fear is that Muslim radicals will get a dirty bomb and set it off in a major city and kill tens of millions of people because then the backlash against peaceful Muslims would be terrible. That was a comedy that he did. And the CNN lady is performing that as though it were earnest.
You know, this is the conclusion of the free Palestine stuff.
talked about this on my show yesterday or two days ago i mean really spooky timing i said i'm sorry i just can't get on board with the free palestine movement because i've yet to hear a coherent argument as to how what they want makes any sense i've yet to hear a coherent argument that the state of israel is not justified in going to war in gaza or even continuing the war because the hostages are still being held
I've yet to hear a coherent argument for bringing this movement into the right wing coalition. And I know that there are some people who are a little more favorable to the Free Palestine thing, but I said just as a basic matter of political coalitions. The free Palestine movement is led by frothing leftist lunatics who are inclined toward violence.
The free Palestine movement is led by Greta Thunberg and the Columbia graduate students and Islamists. Somehow the Islamists are the most sensible people in the movement. That's not a good sign. And so it just doesn't make any sense. And it doesn't take a genius. It doesn't take a political philosopher to realize.
that the logical conclusion of revolution, revolution, intifada, from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free, blot out the Jews in the Middle East. It doesn't take a genius to recognize that when people who are already inclined toward violence in politics state those things, you're going to get political violence.
That CNN lady is demonstrating the suicidal impulse within liberalism, which is that whenever they see any political action, they see a clear perpetrator and they see a clear victim and they say, well, it has to be the opposite.
They always have to immediately take the side of the perpetrator and always immediately neglect the victim, even when the political action is so clear as a murderer murders a young couple, a young couple of civilians. You know, this is not to say that the Israel-Palestine issue is without nuance and complexity and totally clear cut.
I recognize there's been a lot of nuance and complexity to this issue, not only for about 100 years, but really for centuries and even millennia. I want nothing to do with the Free Palestine Movement. And I think that people need to have some moral clarity here, okay?
Just as a rule of thumb, you don't need to understand all of the complexity to realize that when the worst people on earth are all supporting one side, one political movement, you, if you are a sensible, reasonable person, should say, wow, I don't agree with these people on anything, on basically any other issue. So no, I probably shouldn't be on their side when it comes to this issue.
I'll go even further. This is not even to say that there's never a role for violence in public life. Of course there is. There is such a thing as just wars. There is justified violence in self-defense, for instance. There's justified violence after due process when the civil authority punishes criminals. It's not even to say that violence in itself is always terrible and evil.
But in this case, listen to the arguments that these people are making. The free, free Palestine from the river to the sea, Israel or Palestine will be free, is a call at the very least for ethnic cleansing, if not genocide. Doesn't take a genius political philosopher to understand that.
These kinds of arguments that the people are making are arguments not only against the state of Israel, or not even arguments against Jews or Zionism, they're arguments against imperialism. They're arguments in favor of radical liberation. They're arguments in some cases in favor of Islamism.
islamic government these are arguments that we would not accept on any other front that we that we disagree with at a fundamental philosophical level and so if there's been ambiguity if there's been some lack of clarity up until now well now you're seeing the logical conclusion of those arguments made by the people who favor unjust political violence in many other circumstances and with which we have basically nothing in common
The only problem with the president's policy, as far as I can tell, is that it's not broad enough. I also want some of these foreigners ejected for being anti-Christian, for being anti-American, for being... Because, you know, Pramila Jayapal, again, I have to ask, if you're a little confused on this issue, do you think you're on the side of Pramila Jayapal?
Do you generally side with her on political issues? If you don't, chances are you're probably not on her side when it comes to this issue either. But what is... What is she saying? She's saying that people have some kind of right. Foreign nationals have some right to be here and use our resources and benefit from our country's generosity. Why?
Well, when you really dig down deep in this leftist ideology, it gets down to the notion that America is bad and we owe something to everyone else and we have no right to this land. We have no right to our own country. We have no right to sovereignty. We have no right to decide who comes in and who goes. And that's just not true.
The question that we should ask when it comes to immigration fundamentally is, do the people who are coming here benefit our country or not? When it comes to Columbia graduate students flying around from all over the world, most of the time the answer is no. And so we don't need to To get much deeper than that. Do they benefit our country? No. Get them out.
no comment from ilhan omar is probably the best thing she could have said here because we all know what she really thinks i mean this is the woman who on video was laughing about people speaking negatively of al-qaeda you remember that video they say al-qaeda you know this is a woman who has extremely radical views and obvious sympathy with islamists and the free palestine movement and the intifada broadly
