Peloni: These radical shills are disgusting and dangerous, and their legitimizing of violence against Jews should be treated as a crime
“The uprising of October 7th was an act of armed resistance. It is not a terrorist attack and it’s not an antisemitic attack.”
by
Judith Butler, a radical leftist academic who described Hamas as “progressive” and part of the Left, and who defended the atrocities of Oct 7 by the Islamic terrorist group, was one of the top signatories to a petition by a group of anti-Israel activists, calling themselves the ‘ In Our Name Campaign’ claiming that they are “Jews” opposed to “ethnic cleansing”.
By that they don’t mean they are by any means opposed to Oct 7, only to Trump’s plan to resettle the terrorist population of Gaza to prevent them from continuing to kill Jews and every other non-Muslim non-Arab group.
Butler’s name appears alongside a handful of celebrities Joaquin Pheonix, Boots Riley (who is not Jewish) and Wallace Shawn who recently suggested that Hitler had more “decency” than the Jewish State, along with career anti-Israel activists like Sharon Brous, a political ally of Kamala Harris, and Jill Jacobs of T’ruah.
The media and the JTA dishonestly described this as a group of “rabbis”, celebrities and artists.
None of them ever mentioned Judith Butler’s very public pro-Hamas views.
“Hamas and Hezbollah are social movements that are progressive, that are on the Left, that are part of a global Left”, Judith Butler argued.
After Oct 7, Butler doubled down on her defense of Islamic terrorism against Jews, men, women and children.
“We can have different views about Hamas as a political party; we can have different views about, um, ah, armed resistance, but I think it is more honest and historically correct to say that the uprising of October 7th was an act of armed resistance. It is not a terrorist attack and it’s not an antisemitic attack.”
“You can be for or against armed resistance, you can be for or against Hamas. But let us at least call it armed resistance,”
“This was an uprising that comes out, that comes from, a state of subjugation and against a violent state apparatus. OK. Let us be clear. You can be for or against armed resistance, you can be for or against Hamas. But let us at least call it armed resistance, and then we can have a debate about whether we think it’s right or whether they did the right thing, whether a different strategy.”
No media outlet has yet reported on Butler’s appearance as one of the leading signatories on this pro-terrorist ad which was also backed by antisemitic groups and pro-terrorist groups.
The JTA’s failure to report on the truth about the ad is another reason why you should encourage your local Jewish paper to drop content from the anti-Israel propaganda wire service.
Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.
As a delineation, how about, Jews for Jihad vs. Jews for Israel?
Just wondering. Is it time for Jews who are NOT anti Israel to begin defining who is and who isn’t a Jew? I understand that this could get messy and divisive, but something should be done to stop these attacks by progressive post Jews.
“The Palestinians” didn’t even exist until Nasser and the USSR created them. They have been the enemies of not only Israel ever since but of every other Arab country that wants nothing to do with them.
The Arab nations say the Palestinians are our “Brothers and Sisters” in public and then stab them in the back as soon as the cameras and microphones turn off.
Judith Butler = Chuck Schumer and every other Democrat in the US Congress who have not left their party since October 7th. Not one of them. They know full well the Democrat Party is not only anti Israel but anti-Jewish as well.
No wonder the Jews in the US Congress bow down to and take orders from George and Alex Soros and beg for money like Dhimmis.
“The uprising of October 7th was an act of armed resistance”. Really?????
So the author thinks cooking babies in ovens is just an uprising???? Then how about using napalm to cook the Gaza strip inhabitants. After all, it’s just a counter “uprising” response.
That so-called Jew is a walking justification for every word in Mein Kampf, and if interned in a concentration camp would not only survive, but gain weight.
