Harvard Students issue factual statement about Israel and Palestine. Republican Extremists Attack

Republicans love when Extremists attack.  They fvcking loooooooooove it.  Republicans love when innocent people die in Terrorist Attacks because then they get to Bash the Left with their rhetorical war club and accuse Democrats of Aiding Terrorists.

Because of the Tea Party lunatics, the cartoonish Trump criminality and treason, and the non-stop Anti-American antics of Greene, Santos, Boebert, Tubberville, Hawley et al you had forgotten how bad the Republicans were under George W(orst POTUS Ever) Bush.  Hadn't you?

For instance, convicted criminal and drunken evangelical Tom DeLay scuttled aid to Palestine Authority in 2005.  Undercutting the Palestine Authority in 2005 aided who?  Hamas; who "won" elections in Gaza in 2006 and have never had another.  Who else has aided Hamas?  Why Benjamin Netanyahu. 

“Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas,” Netanyahu told his Likud party’s Knesset members in March 2019. “This is part of our strategy"

For years Netanyahu was a "Friend of Hamas" because Hamas and Likud are Extremists who love and need each other.  Netanyahu ignored Gaza because he was busy helping settlers confiscate land in the West Bank and eliminating Supreme Court barriers to his fascist rule.  The two state solution died when Netanyahu had Yitzak Rabin assassinated.

“Israel is not killing the Hamas leadership, they’re not getting revenge out of Hamas. There is collective punishment for 2.2 million people. Look what’s happening towards the Palestinians in the West Bank, to us, the Palestinian Israelis that live inside the state of Israel. Our lives are in danger because of all the extreme-right fascists.”  Sami Abou Shehadeh said.

The Hamas multi-pronged attack is just the balm rightwing extremists across the globe needed.  Anyone attempting to analyze the incredibly fraught Israel/Palestine situation, express understanding of the shared grief, bring humanity or nuance into this is immediately attacked.  Especially, if you are in the West and you share even a scintilla of compassion for the plight of Palestinian civilians expect to be savagely denounced by Republicans. 

So, in response to 34 Harvard student groups putting out an accurate if controversial statement 

We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence.  

Today’s events did not occur in a vacuum. For the last two decades, millions of Palestinians in Gaza have been forced to live in an open-air prison. Israeli officials promise to “open the gates of hell,” and the massacres in Gaza have already commenced. Palestinians in Gaza have no shelters for refuge and nowhere to escape. In the coming days, Palestinians will be forced to bear the full brunt of Israel’s violence.  

The apartheid regime is the only one to blame.

properly ascribing blame to the Israeli treatment of Gaza, Republican extremists pounced;

Elise Stefanik, a Republican US Representative from New York and a Harvard graduate, called the statement “abhorrent and heinous” for excusing the “slaughter of innocent women and children”.  

I will note that the deaths of children in Gaza from indiscriminate missile strikes originating in Israel do not engender the same response.

Republican US Senator Ted Cruz, a Harvard Law School graduate, wrote on Xitter: “What the hell is wrong with Harvard?”

This is a good question as they were not clairvoyant enough to see the odious Traitor Cruz would turn into.

Harvard President Claudine Gay and senior leadership including 15 deans issued a statement on Monday that said they were “heartbroken by the death and destruction unleashed by the attack by Hamas that targeted citizens in Israel this weekend”.

See! We can neatly blame all the future death and destruction on the original Hamas attack and thus Israeli war crimes in Gaza are actually the fault of the people being killed by bunker buster bombs and the cutting off of the water supply.

It's nigh-impossible for anyone in the West, especially in the US, to criticize Israel. Even when such criticism is wholly accurate.  Israelis, however, are not shy about placing the blame upon the occupation and inhuman conditions the Israeli governments have subjected the Palestinian people.  Here in the US, Republicans have nothing to offer the American peoples thus they see this continuing War in Palestine/Israel as see an opportunity to attack President Biden and the Democratic Party and further endanger and degrade the United States.  While the Republican Party  isn't in "league" with Hamas, the Likud Fascists, Vladimir Putin, all these extremists know that their interests are aligned and that each of them is able to wield outsized power by undermining peace, democracy, and liberal society.

So as the death toll rises and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza gets worse, expect Republicans to get more vociferous in their support of the Netanyahu's and the IDF war crimes.  All you have to do is remember how fervently the Republicans defended Abu Ghraib, waterboarding, "enhanced interrogation", Blackwater crimes in Iraq, and every other atrocity committed by the US in the name of the Global War on Terror.

Republican Acts of Terror 3: Bomb Throwing Ryan Walters Oklahoma Edition

Besides empowering "lone wolves" to conduct rightwing domestic terrorist acts throughout the Nation, multiple elected Republicans are state-sponsored terrorist regimes.

Removing One Letter at a Time

In Oklahoma, a 38 year old conservative chump named Ryan Walters has done everything in his power to destroy public education in the state.  That he is the elected Superintendent of Schools for the entire state is just the icing on the shit cake.  At a minimum, you would think a conservative would actually try and shelter the kids under his care from the cultural wars, but then you recall that Republicans don't actually believe their bluster about protecting the children, but in fact only shout groomer and regurgitate lies in order to "Bash the Left" and gain power.

Ryan Walters is the culmination of 50 years of non-stop Republican lying and conservative agitprop.  At this point, Republicans no longer see despicable propagandists as useful idiots in winning elections the idiots are the Republican Party.

Walters spouts Faux News talking points like a rightwing brain-washed grandpa while also repeating well-worn Republican anti-education tropes.  For instance, claiming the 1921 Tulsa race massacre wasn't racist.  But, as a new era Republican, Ryan Walters also believes in sharing disingenuous agitprop from the Terrorist Chaya Raichik (Libs of TikTok).

Bomb threats against public schools in Tulsa, Oklahoma, continued to pour in on Tuesday as right-wing indignation over a satirical TikTok video posted earlier this month by a local educator enters its second week. 

Large numbers of students have reportedly stayed home in the wake of the threats, which set the city of just over 400,000 on edge. 

At the same time, the state’s 38-year-old Superintendent of Public Instruction—who helped stoke outrage over the supposed intentions of a “woke” school librarian—now stands accused of ignoring ongoing child abuse allegedly taking place right under his nose. 

“While Ryan Walters is fighting culture war issues, creating division, and basically creating problems for himself to seemingly try to fix, there’s been actual abuse taking place in schools that he knew about for months [but] did nothing to address,” Oklahoma State Rep. Mickey Dollens, a Democrat, told The Daily Beast. 

Walters, a Republican, was sworn in as Oklahoma’s education superintendent in January 2023. Since taking office, he has likened teachers’ unions to terrorist organizations, claimed Tulsa public schools were being secretly infiltrated by the Chinese government, and cozied up to an entity labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, among other things However, while making a big show of his far-right bona fides, Walters has turned a blind eye to something far more damaging than any TikTok video, according to Dollens.

Ryan Walters absolutely wants teachers and LGBTQ people to be murdered.  But, he'll wash himself in the blood of righteousness by claiming to protect the children.  Which we all know is a lie.  Republicans routinely ignore child abuse because they are the ones doing it, to distract and deflect towards the LGBTQ community because LGBTQ people have very little political power.  Republicans yearn to round-up and summarily execute millions of Americans.  But, that violence is already here as we see Republican controlled States setting up inquisitions to arrest their enemies and the off-handed extrajudicial killings by white rightwing Police Officers against unarmed black people.  Be brave if you can but, definitely be ready because state-sponsored concentration camps and death trains will be the first agenda item of the 2025 Trump Presidency.
