Politics, they say, makes strange bedfellows, but there is nothing really strange about this at all: two jihad terrorist groups, al-Qaeda and Hezbollah, have declared how pleased they are that students all over the United States are protesting, with so much youthful energy and arrogance, against Israel. And why not? If Israel fails to achieve its goal of destroying Hamas, it will be a major victory for the forces of jihad worldwide. Al-Qaeda and Hezbollah will be the beneficiaries as much as Hamas and all the other jihad groups everywhere.
Al-Qaeda started out by praising Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 jihad massacre of 1,200 Israelis: “We were happy, and every Muslim was happy, with these revenge attacks and operations carried out by the youth of the Islamic nation, especially the heroes of the revenge action in the land of Canaan.” Revenge attacks? When did Israel carry out mass abductions and rapes of Palestinian Arab women? Never, of course, but al-Qaeda and other jihadis, as well as their leftist sympathizers and enablers, relentlessly claim that Hamas was simply retaliating after decades of oppression.
There is no truth to this whatsoever. Every last Israeli left Gaza in 2005, and the Gazans were completely free to make their green and pleasant land into a new French Riviera. Instead, they turned it into a jihad base, with a staggeringly complex array of terror tunnels and frequent rocket attacks against the Jewish state. Those rocket attacks, as well as the billionaire status of Hamas leaders, also demonstrated the falsehood of the oft-repeated claim that Gaza was an “open-air prison” or even a “concentration camp.” Did the inmates of Buchenwald, Dachau or Auschwitz fire rockets into National Socialist Germany? Did prominent Jews enrich themselves in the camps to the extent that they became among the richest men in the world?
Also, al-Qaeda casts the Oct. 7 massacre as “revenge” because of Islamic theology. In classic Sunni theology and law, only the caliph, the successor of Muhammad as the ruler of all Muslims worldwide, is authorized to declare offensive jihad. Yet there has been no caliph since the secular Turkish government abolished the caliphate in 1924. But all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence agree that when a non-Muslim force enters a Muslim land, defensive jihad becomes the individual obligation of every Muslim (fard ‘ayn) rather than a collective obligation of the entire umma, and need not be declared by anyone. So if Hamas was simply exacting “revenge” and defending itself, the implication is that all Muslims have the obligation to join Hamas’ jihad.
In line with this, al-Qaeda goes on to say: “We call on the youth of our nation,” that is, the umma, the global Islamic nation, transcending all national boundaries, “to follow this blessed path…outpace them with the number of operations and the force of strikes and to fill the hearts of the children of Zion with terror in retaliation for the blood of our oppressed people in Gaza.”
Then al-Qaeda praises the student jihad sympathizers and leftist dupes who have come out for Hamas: “While we support the assassination of the infidel Zionists and the beheading of them, we also appreciate and value the movement of Western demonstrators and sit-in students from Western universities, who through their sit-ins and protests expressed their rejection of the genocide taking place in Gaza.”
Praise from a murderous jihad terror group should give the self-righteous pro-Hamas students pause, and make them reconsider their fanatical hatred of Israel. But it won’t. Nor are they likely to be dissuaded from their path by similar praise from Hezbollah. Hezbollah Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem was enthusiastic, saying: “When the American people take a stand in support of Gaza … we salute and applaud them. We appreciate and value this very much. … The [campus protests] are important, especially because they will have an impact on the U.S. elections. They will have an impact on the American position. Even if Biden says that he will not be influenced by this, he will whether he likes it or not. We will see him taking actions because of the protesters’ influence on him.”
Qassem need not worry. Old Joe Biden is clearly influenced by the protests, as well as pressure from leftist and Muslim leaders, and that’s why he has been so energetically betraying Israel of late. Applause from al-Qaeda and Hezbollah won’t turn Old Joe and his henchmen from the course of action they have chosen, either. After all, by now they’re used to siding with America’s enemies.

It is in fact an indictment of those behind the politically ruined education system in the west which was taken over by the elite run Left in the `1980s as now we have history ignorant, politically brainwashed young fools pretending to be intellectuals and totally under the idealistic false premise of ” For the Greater Good” which is an absolute lie.
Marxism was taken over by the elite just before the Manifesto was published (hence Engels role) and its aims were subtly altered and now are to destroy the gateway to the elite to enable a truly aristocratic future for the elite. This gateway is the middle class and now Marxism sole aims are to destroy them, further reinforce the power and safety of the elite and to enslave the rest of humanity and destroy 90% of them. They want only enough humans left to supply their needs (Soylent Green anyone?) and like National Socialism in occupied states: so long as they can read instructions and count to 20 that is all the education they need. This dumbing down is INTENDED.

antisemitism is the opiate of the elite and so-called privileged.
MuggsSpongedice says
USA and the world is being played and has been had by every demonic quarter because these youth have nothing to hold up to righteousness and right and wrong because the systematic removal of G-D out of the classroom and public places. Not even a 10 Commandments to frame and reference by new generations. This is what happened to the Jews in the BC era and they were sent wandering on the diaspora that caused Jews to lose their identity and vote for the wrong people from hitler to briben. Here comes Donald Trump a man of YHVH and the demonic left rails against him and endlessly persecutes President Trump in masse. Unrelentless demonic activity in the USA and this world. Just as Bible prophesy says. This is how Bible prophesy is being played out and unfolding like a child’s pop-up book. These youths are lost to the demonic clarion call.
KenPF says
That kid in the picture could have been me or one of my college friends … long time passing. Yep, I was a folk singing ”hippie” protester, guitar and all. That was 55 years ago. These folks look more like anti-war era re-enactors. I prefer the Civil War era version. Back in my day guys would pretend to be gay to get out of serving in the military. Now they’re protesting to get in.
When Islamists say “When the American people take a stand in support of Gaza … we salute and applaud them,” we need to understand that there may be a hidden exception to the applause and support; That’s the one thing we didn’t have back in the old days, namely “Queers for Palestine”. They don’t have many tall buildings in Gaza to throw them off any more, but there plenty of rubble under which to to bury them alive.

Hey hey, ho ho
Stupid students gotta go
Walter Sieruk says
That those students who being praised the vicious malicious and murderous jihad terror entities ,al Qaeda and Hezbollah that call them “terrific.” Are ,in essence, are being praised by the Devil . For those two jihad terror/murder entities are, surely, Satan’s organizations.
That any of those students would accept and even like the praise those horrendously evil jihadist groups does reveal the terrible harm of ignorance and led to the deception of those campus youth by the influence of those in power in institutions of the Left-Islamic alliance, which is also known as the “Red/Green Alliance”
Truly . those university and college youth are being manipulated by the stealth jihads are ,indeed, their useful idiots.
Walter Sieruk says
It’s sad and even tragic that those naïve impressionable and brainwashed young college and university students non–Muslims Americans, who are taking part in this Red/Green alliance, throughout the United States, who are protesting against the State of Israel and who likewise greatly favor Hamas are people who are ,rightly , described ,as the “useful idiots” of the leaders of Hamas and their jihadist members who are dedicated to the cause of conquest for the cause of Islam.
Those Americans who aren’t Muslims the stooges of those Hamas chefs and the other Muslim terrorist, For those of Hamas view all people who are not Muslims as inferior creatures to them and refer to them .
Behind their backs as , “Kafirs,” which is the Islamic derogatory term for “disbelievers”
It’s tragic that those non-Muslims pro-Hamas America protesters against Israel are so very deluded by Hamas that this Islamic terror / murder organization so easily manipulates and uses them as their tools.
Those poor young people are ,truly, their useful idiots.
Walter Sieruk says
Many of those young impressionable brainwashed college and university students don’t know or understand that history reveals that the ancient Philistines recorded in the Bible and history came from the Greek Islands and some parts of the mainland Greece. They have no connection, at all, the to the Arab /Muslim of modern times who called themselves the “Palestinians.”
From those ancient people, the Philistines, the word “Palestine” .came into being.
There is no genuine ethic group or race who are the “Palestinians.”
Early in the last century a anyone living in that land, Arab or Jew, who lived in that land was called a ”Palestinian.”
Only after 1964 did the Arab/Muslims start to refer to themselves , exclusively , by the word “Palestinian.”
The reason for that is that they felt that by giving themselves that title they would appear to have some kind of valid claim on that land.
Indeed , there never was a “Palestinian state.”
Angel Jacob says
So the islamic terrorists have lied to the gullible, ignorant, drunk/druggie/mentally ill young fools. And they believed the big lie that there is a such a nation as Palestine.
Now they thank the same ignorant fools for being just that. As long as they get more people to hate Jews, Christians and America they will be happy with their terrorist lies and propaganda campaign.
The best way to counter this is to massively publicize and educate people about the root cause of all islamic hate and terrorism. It is islam itself, it is the book of fascism, hate and genocide called Koran. The book of evil says the mujslims must lie to all non-muslims. It says the muslims must kill, convert or enslave all non-muslims. It says muslims must invade all non-muslim lands with the purpose of doing so.
Why isn’t the real motivation and intentions of muslims not revealed openly?
Eva says
Everywhere I look, I see these ahole ‘students’ being referred to as ‘naive/gullible/impressionable/manipulated/inexperienced/brainwashed, brainwashed, brainwashed.
That’s a bull💩 excuse.
I went to school in the 80’s, and I didn’t come out of it a raging leftard.
I went to college and had hard left lecturers. I ignored their diatribes, and used quotes from people I was warned would get me a fail for even knowing who they were.
I did it anyway, and never got failed.
I did my own research, asked my own questions, and infuriated everyone around me.
I expect most of us here had the same experiences.
If we could do it, with less resources than students today have, why can’t they?
Stop using the list above to describe them and their motivations, and try the truth, entitled, hateful, lazy, ignorant little💩’s.
John Sweet says
The land of Canaan? I thought it has been Palestine since the beginning of time.
Chaya says
Never take seriously the content of the left’s demands or complaints. The same twerps who needed a teddy bear and cocoa and a “safe space’ if the wrong pronoun was used just goose stepped out of their safe space like real Nazis to shout violently that they’re ready to rape, murder and behead Jews and to genocide all Jews (while they cry they are victims of. genocide). So much for the cocoa and teddy bears. Now they have checkered terror tablecloths around their necks and are openly thirsty for blood.
TRex says
Yeah, until someone punches them in the mouth. The administrators of the these universities and the legal authorities should have dealt with them like the petty criminals they are. Instead, they “negotiated” with them or, in the case of the authorities, stood by and did hardly anything. This is an extension of how they’ve been treated since they were small children. These undisciplined, coddled and entitled brats have been trained to ignore authority and make demands that should have been denied starting at 3 years of age. I blame the limp-wristed administrators and the push-over parents who have failed to fulfill their role as adults. We haven’t seen the last of this because the precedent has been set.
Andrew Blackadder says
When I witness young American girls in support of a gang of thugs that raped defiled and beheaded young girls at a Music Festival that look exactly like them while denigrating the men that are hunting down the thugs that raped defiled and beheaded young girls exactly like them I have to wonder if Planet Earth has indeed shifted slightly off it Axis.
