Perception Bias: The Blindness of the Left
The left exhibits a consistent reluctance to confront the ideologies and actions of Islamist organizations like Hezbollah and Hamas. This avoidance stems from a fundamental conflict between the left's commitment to human rights and the opposing goals of Islamist groups. Two main reasons for this blindness are identified: a prevailing belief within the liberal class that the West is solely responsible for global injustices, which diminishes accountability for the actions of dark-skinned groups, and the ideological opposition between the left's values and those of Islamism, leading to selective engagement and narrative framing that fails to address these contradictions.
