On Bret Stephens selective compassion twords 'Palestinian civilians'& his hatred of Muslim Mamdani!
Political Observer comments.
Editor: the final paragraphs of Mr. Stephens essay are indictive of Stephen’s usual attempt at carefully side-stepping the Gaza Genocide, via in an ersatz compassion. This is all by his recollection of the Jan. 29, 2004, at 8:48 a.m. The Narrative of the dutyful dad, changing the the diaper of his daughter, establishes a variety of verisililitude?
On the stillbirth of a Selective Compassion :
There are rich and legitimate debates to be had about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and U.S. policy toward it. None of us should look away at the devastating toll the war in Gaza exacts on Palestinian civilians. And nobody has a monopoly on truth or virtue: Those who want to condemn Israeli policy are fully within their rights.
But a major political candidate who plainly refuses to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada” isn’t participating in legitimate democratic debate; he is giving moral comfort to people who deliberately murder innocent Jews.
There are liberals and progressives who’ll continue to make excuses for Mamdani. They will argue that his views on “globalize the intifada” are beside the point of his agenda for New York. They will observe that he has a predictable share of far-left Jewish supporters. They will play semantic games about the original meaning of “intifada.”
To those supporters, one can say only good luck. They’re making Donald Trump’s case about the radical direction of too much of the Democratic Party better than he ever could.
Editor: With the whole of the American Political Class being bought and paid for by by AIPAC, and Netanyahu’s visit on July 7 , 2025, what might an American Future look like and be! ‘An Imagimed Future’ might be that Iran and Russia will become a check on the Trump/Netanyahu allience?
