There was an article on the Gateway Pundit site over the weekend that dealt with these so-called “spontaneous” campus riots. It noted: “We are witnessing the unification of the radical Islamic and Marxist movement in America. A recent investigation into the highly organized nationwide campus protests across America found that several leaders of the anti-Israel movement traveled to communist Cuba for ‘resistance training.’ The anti-Israel protesters were associated with Black Lives Matter activists who allegedly provided training techniques…to mobs who set up camps on numerous American college campuses.”
I’ve noticed also that graduation ceremonies at several campuses have been interrupted by demonstrations, walkouts, and what have you. I’ve said before that, at root, these demonstrations are not just about the Israel-Hamas situation. That issue is only the current excuse for campus protests, more of which will come as time passes. Some of these protests have also been involved with Muslim efforts at recruitment of new students into their ranks.
But these protests just recently have gotten to the point where they interfered more and more with normal life–street protests that have disrupted rush hour traffic in some cities, blocking off streets so people can’t get home from work at the end of the day. And there is no question that all these protests are highly orchestrated. There’s nothing spontaneous about any of them.
Those on the far left, the Soros’ and Rockefellers and other well-connected and well-heeled leftists are knee deep in all of this campus muck. These protests are a golden opportunity for the Marxists to display how much power they have accrued in this country since the Biden/Obama regime assumed control. Part of the intent of these riots is even to drive the Biden/ Obama regime even further to the left–if such is even possible–all the while making certain politicians over on the left appear to be centrists by comparison to the radicals in the streets. They pulled this same game during the Kent State riots. And it usually seems to work because some leftist political figures make a show of protesting the riots, thus coming across as moderates, which they are really not.
It’s all a political game to bemuse the public and create false impressions. And it’s often a game to get people to “choose” sides on certain issues, which divides ordinary folks even more. I’ve looked at the Israel-Hamas situation and concluded that, as they say here in the South, ” I don’t have a dog in this fight.” Both sides, as far as I am concerned, have major problems.
When Israel took over in Palestine in 1948 they really shafted the Palestinian people already living there. Then you have Hamas who is leftist in orientation. What you have is two bad guys fighting one another–and we are supposed to support the lesser of two evils! And please don’t howl about all the “antisemitic” stuff. Most Jews today are not and never have been Semites. They are not Semites, as they mostly hail from Western Russia and Eastern Europe. Rather they are Zionists, who have no more connection to the original 12 tribes of Israel than my housecat! Most people don’t seem to grasp the difference, what with all the antisemitism propaganda–and that’s on purpose.
So I’m afraid I can’t support either side–and I don’t think most Christian Americans should either. Rather what we should be doing–if we had enough spiritual discernment, which seems to be lacking today, is pointing out where both sides are way off base and pointing people to the One who is “the way, the truth, and the life.” You can bet those Zionists that so many Christians are gung ho to support ain’t ever going to do anything for the Christians except to denigrate our faith at every opportunity. And I’m sorry, but I’m not about to support them for doing that!
