“We’re not in favor, per se, of undocumented migrants killing… but for Palestinians… we call that justice.”
New York, April 22 – Left-wing activists and politicians who favor accommodating the millions of undocumented and unauthorized people who entered the US over the last several years, and whose presence has sparked concerns of preventable violence by some of that cohort, voiced some reluctance this week about linking the plight of those migrants , threatened with deportation, to another flagship cause of the Left, upholding the resentments and irredentism of the descendants of a different group of migrants who, seeking a better life in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, flocked into the Ottoman-ruled, then British-ruled, territory of Palestine, and proceeded to attempt to wipe out the returning Jewish population whose economic development had attracted those migrants in the first place, and still, a century later, nurture the dream of attempting the massacres and dispossession again, sources in left-wing politics disclosed today.
American progressives took pains over the last few days to draw distinctions between the motivations for their advocacy on behalf of the disparate groups of migrants associated in the minds of the victimized population with violence.
“You have to understand our support for these populations is not about the violence people accuse them of perpetrating,” explained open-borders advocate Amin Husseini. “We’re not in favor, per se, of undocumented migrants killing, raping, or generally committing crime at all, except against maybe Tesla owners. That differs from our support for Palestinians, who, though the vast majority of their ancestors came to Palestine under circumstances similar to the migrants in the US, are perfectly justified in trying to kill as many Jews as possible. We call that justice.”
News reports, magnified in conservative media, of rapes and murders by illegal immigrants, have led to widespread concern among American voters about the southern border; the issue proved decisive in the most recent national elections, which saw Republicans reclaim control of the presidency and Congress. Defenders of immigrant rights, especially those who refuse to distinguish between legal and illegal, overlap to a significant degree with supporters of Palestinian violence aimed at destroying Israel – violence that began as the hundreds of thousands of Arabs who migrated to Ottoman and British Palestine – a land rejuvenated economically and agriculturally by Jewish efforts – perpetrated massacres of those Jews in 1920, 1922, 1929, and 1936, followed by a joint effort in 1947-48 with surrounding Arab military forces to push the Jews into the sea, lest those Jews establish a sovereign state and thus undermine the notion of Islamic supremacy.
The effort failed, and Israel has grown more powerful than any of its neighbors, an offense that Islamists and their progressive supporters use to justify antisemitic violence.
