Today, the Chicago City Council voted to support the terrorists in Gaza. Biden and his people are going for a two-state solution which we know won’t work because the Palestinians aren’t interested in a two-state solution. A Palestinian state will just lob rockets daily into Israel, financed by Iran. For what it’s worth, the race hustler Jesse Jackson sided with the terrorists and brought a Palestinian scarf and laid it out on the table.
Karol Markowitz nailed it on Twitter: “No better way to say “terrorism works”.
To be clear, the Palestinians went into Israel and tortured, raped, dismembered, and murdered men, women and children. Even babies were beheaded. They took hostages, tortured them, and killed them.
This is what Chicago endorsed today. They are on the side of hate. Other big cities have done similar. San Francisco, Detroit, and Atlanta, for example.
I wholeheartedly endorse the flattening of the Gaza Strip and the killing of anyone who wants to terrorize any citizen of Israel. When you are attacked, and attacked the way they were attacked, there can be no mercy. Mercy happens after the war is fought and won.
There is no “both sides are wrong” false equivalence here. If you follow that logic, then the Allies pushing into Germany had a “both sides are wrong” quality to it. The Palestinians are wrong and historically have been wrong.
Biden has abandoned his Jewish constituency. I hope they see it. Jews traditionally have been a strong voting and money block for the Democratic Party. FDR abused them too.
I am not surprised the city council voted 23-23 and the mayor cast the deciding vote. It’s a show pony, and meaningless. But, it might mean something to my Jewish friends in Chicago.
Almost all of them, probably 95%, voted Democrat for years. They contributed large sums of money to Democrats and in some cases were parts of organizations that froze out anyone with a different opinion. Especially if you were pro-life. I have empathy, but it is tempered by the fact that they thought it was the Republicans who were racist. They are finding out.
I saw the statement from the ADL and JUF, and I thought that it wasn’t strong or angry enough. A ceasefire will do zero. They want to kill you no matter where you are. The Palestinians aren’t even going to flinch when it comes to the other demands the ADL/JUF put in their statement.
The Show Pony will embolden the people who hate Jews to carry out crimes and discrimination against them. They will use it as an excuse. Conveniently, the Chicago Teachers Union is for Palestine. They run the city now and are the new Machine.
I read something from
once. She wrote that societies that do not protect the vulnerable, and allow anti-semitism to thrive do not survive. History proves her correct. Societies that are tolerant and accepting thrive. It has been that way in the United States for over 200 years now.When it is a religious belief, only the tip of the spear, force, can change anything, and change likely requires the absolute elimination of a person from the earth. That’s what “from the river to the sea” means. As of today, it is Lake Michigan to the Sea. We are facing down the barrel of a gun today and if you bask in your Christianity/Buddhism/Hinduism or any other belief, don’t. You are next.
My Jewish friends are all of a sudden, vulnerable. They are facing a wall of anti-semitism. The people that hate them are being enabled by the milquetoast and double speak of the Biden Administration, and the absolute hate of the Chicago Democratic Machine. I want my friends protected. I want tolerance.
But, we know that is impossible, especially now. Especially after the Chicago city council voted to be on the side of intolerance and hate.
Again and again, I see hundreds of problems with life in the city of Chicago, all of them administered and caused by Democrats. They were the chumbalones who voted for this.
Votes like the one that happened today make me glad I left Chicago.
I get the feeling (since I'm from Chicago) that the moderate left liberals are looking at all this and they're not sure what to do. They won't vote for a Republican (icky!) and they want to be seen as *problem solvers* not political animals, but they know they are on a runaway train going the wrong way.
The City was historically run with an iron fist and with its various tribes, but it generally had common sense. Sure, there were the nuts and the political barking, but it was part of the game.
These folks running things now are the True Believers. The Machine has transformed, and rather than being as much about graft, it's now about ideology. These Believers need Kool-Aid, and they get very noisy when their cup runs low. They know this is probably their best chance of all time to implement every crazy Progressive ideal they've wanted. They are going for it, and going for it HARD.
The aforementioned liberals don't know what to do, so they will smile like an abused housewife and pretend that everything is just fine, just fine at home. "Things will work out!"
A lot of properties are getting seized in downtown right now, and vacancy rates are at all time highs. There is a transformation on the ground, and the current politicos are pretending that there's nothing amiss.
I'm looking to liquidate everything I can this year. Wish me luck.
I left Chicago almost 26 years ago. I have viewed with no joy what has happened to my hometown since then.
It is very, very sad to watch. That being said, people need to tell the truth about what has happened to a once-great city.
You know what? Here’s the truth: Chicago/Cook County Democrats are and have been the new hillbillies. And I mean all of them. Every single one of them.
Tell them to their faces. When you talk to them, tell them what you think of them.
Don’t mince words. Ask them why they were so cocky for so many years.
And then tell them all to go f—- themselves. Every single one of them.
I won’t go back.
