Deep dives
BLM Endorses Hamas Amidst Global Condemnation
After Hamas carried out a series of attacks resulting in the deaths of numerous Israeli civilians, including children and babies, the terrorist group received international condemnation. Surprisingly, Black Lives Matter Chicago chapter expressed support for Hamas through a social media post. BLM grassroots also echoed the endorsement, drawing parallels between the struggles of Black people and Palestinian Arabs. This alignment between BLM and Hamas highlights similarities in their rhetoric and goals. While the situations differ, the language used by pro-Hamas activists mirrors that of BLM activists and the American left. The danger lies in ignoring the shared language and ideology, as it poses a threat to all.
The Historical Circumstances of Israel and the United States
The similarities between the modern nation state of Israel and the United States in their historical circumstances reflect the rise of nationalism in the 19th century, resulting in the decline of empires and monarchies. Both countries emerged during this period, driven by aspirations for self-determination. While the historical and theological justifications for their existence differ, the practical context of their formation shares similarities. This historical backdrop, coupled with a reconsideration and vilification of empires and traditions, has led to a convergence of rhetoric between BLM and Hamas, as they both oppose perceived oppressors.
The Influence of Narrative and Power in Government
The narrative shaping public discourse, painting the United States as racist and unjust, has lasting effects on society. This narrative, propagated by elites in media, academia, entertainment, and government, holds significant influence over public perception. The current push for decolonization and violence against civilians is veiled in arguments against oppression, with America being portrayed as the enemy. The power wielded by these narratives is evident in the endorsement of radical ideologies and movements like BLM, and it demands vigilance and resistance against the erosion of traditional values.
Race for House Speaker and Trump's Potential Role
The race for House Speaker presents several contenders, including Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise. While Jordan is viewed as more conservative and anti-establishment, Scalise is seen as less conservative and more aligned with the establishment. McCarthy, the previous Speaker, may also be considered. An interesting twist is Trump's suggestion of potentially becoming a temporary Speaker, acknowledging the unlikelihood of permanently holding the position due to his presidential aspirations. Trump's participation, albeit temporary, would add an intriguing dynamic and inject humor into the political landscape.
BLM endorses Hamas, Ukraine reinstates a transvestite American spokesman who threatened to murder journalists, and the former CIA director calls for the death of a sitting U.S. senator.
