Op-ed:
The Political Pratfall of Indoctrinated Hate 
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio 
The Op-ed posted here is this authors opinion alone,and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com or Google. 

Fact:
as per the Anti-Defamation League's Audit of Antisemitic Incidents 2023 report, the number of antisemitic incidents occurring in the U.S. between the beginning of 2014 to the end of 2023...saw in 2014, 912 antisemitic incidents being committed against American Jews with that number steadily increasing to 8,873 incidents by the end of 2023, with 5,204 of those occurring after Hamas' October 7th attack on Israel. A sad commentary indeed.

And as if on cue the protests are back...not the BLM protests coupled with actual riots taking place in the months leading up to and after the 2020 presidential election...but protests calling for not only the destruction of the Jewish State of Israel and in many cases the Jewish people themselves, but protests tinged with anti-American rhetoric as well. But mostly it's fervent antisemitism on display as those taking part in said protests deem Israel the oppressor regarding all things Gaza while heralding Hamas and their Palestinian supporters as being the victims of a war Hamas themselves started on what will forever be known as “Black Saturday.”

And as pro-Palestinian/pro Hamas protesters took over a number of major U.S. college and university campuses, our Democrat leaders, for the most part, remained eerily silent. Why so...because they foolishly thought that in their silence they could play both sides against the middle, and come out unscathed come the November election.

Oh how wrong they are, but before I get into that let me expose some of the outright lies and misinformation that helped fuel the indoctrinated hate against Israel and the Jewish people in general...hate that's been around, as per biblical scholars and historical evidence, since Friday, April 3rd, AD 33, at approximately 3 PM, the day when Jesus of Nazareth died on the cross on orders given by Pontius Pilate alone. Simply, the Jews played no part in Jesus' death except for the fact that this was the very moment in time when they became a “scapegoat.” But first three key facts.

Fact #1: no people throughout both ancient and modern history have been more vilified and persecuted than the Jewish people...not black slaves nor the sum total of Christianity for neither has ever truly experienced or even come close to experiencing the true horror known as the “Holocaust.”

Fact #2: Both Jews and Christians share in the belief that there is but “One God.” However, what knowingly seems to be forgotten is that if not for Abraham becoming the first Jew, Christianity nor even islam might exist today. Without Abraham having cast aside the idolatry and paganism of his day, we might still be worshiping a golden statute with the body of a man and the head of a bird. Simply, it's our Judeo-Christian belief in “One God” that separates our mindsets from those of the ancients, and yet that belief has not only laid the groundwork for the hatred of Jews that still exists today, but it has allowed for the “believe as I do or else” crowd's mentality to permeate and corrupt the current religious and political discourse.

Fact 3: When aggrandized lies told suddenly morph into facts believed, one not only loses their ability to think for oneself, but one actually allows hate to overwhelm and then overtake the sensibilities comprising that person's very soul. And when this happens how easy it is for evil folks who feed on pushing forward messages of hate to easily overtake the mindset of those too weak to not only push back, but those who blindly follow a cause without their having to learn if said cause is just or not.

And it's courtesy of the liberal media's one-sided propaganda machine coupled with liberal educators pushing their decidedly one-sided agendas on impressionable young minds that allowed the pro-Palestinian/anti-Israel movement to be born, and with it overt acts of antisemitism becoming, for some, an acceptable new norm.

And this new norm actually has roots in religion itself as it revolves around the Jews being made the “scapegoat” for Jesus' death. Simply, the Jews had nothing to do with Jesus' death as proven by what are historical facts including that with the Jews being slaves of the Romans they, as slaves, had no power whatsoever over who was or was not to be killed. Jesus..the man...the rabbi...who wanted to “reform” Judaism...if you will...not replace Judaism...was ordered to be killed for the simple reason that the Romans and especially Pontius Pilate, deemed him to be a “political threat” to their and his rule. And besides, the Romans were known to keep meticulous records and yet no...I repeat no...Roman records nor physical manuscripts bear any mention of a man named Barabbas existing let alone being released. In fact, except for the words in the New Testament there is no...again I repeat no...mention of a Roman or Jewish custom that demanded the release of a Jewish prisoner on the eve of Passover nor is there any mention of it in any Jewish texts.

Simply, Pontius Pilate ordered Jesus...who was born, lived, preached, and died as a Jew....to be killed out of political necessity and the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, written by the hand of man, fabricated the story...not of Jesus' actual death...but embellished it for need of a “scapegoat” to draw more followers to their cause. And unfortunately, with the Jews being but slaves they became the perfect scapegoat as Christianity grew both in numbers and power. And when power is craved “scapegoats” are needed even more, and the Jews served the narrative well...and still do for some even though in 1965 the Catholic Church published the “Nostra Aetate” releasing Jewish “responsibility” for the death of Jesus.

And while most Catholics have embraced and honored this document, sadly a number of other Christian denominations still have not which is why some of today's antisemitic acts committed sees too many remaining silent. Remember, silence at times sends a message of agreement, and for some said agreement simmers below the surface ready to be reawakened when and if need be.

And when agreement did resurface, which is exactly what happened a few weeks ago, some of our top universities and colleges started seeing antisemitic, anti-Israel, and anti-American protests, coupled with pro-Hamas and pro-Palestinian supporters taking over their campuses. But what those students protesting along with, in my opinion, their George Soros funded instigators and supporters... whose numbers are way greater than the students taking part...choose to forget is that Israel's rightful retaliation on Gaza...which is Hamas' main base of operation... was in response to the October 7th savage and brutal murders that left more than 1,200 Israeli civilians dead and hundreds of hostages being taken.

So what exactly do these folks want as their anti-Israel and anti-Jew rhetoric continues to spread across our nation? They claim to want a cease-fire in Gaza and for Israel's killing to stop, while at the same time demanding that America's universities stop funding companies that they alone claim profit from or engage in Israel’s ongoing military campaign and occupation of Gaza. But again what the indoctrinated again choose to ignore is that Gaza has not been controlled nor occupied by Israel since 2005.

Simply, the ever foolish indoctrinated students along with their “bought and paid for” Soros instigators, continue to protest in support of a people and their government...as in Hamas...that they themselves did so willingly vote into power, and who, for the past two decades, has not only been “stealing the people blind”...but a government that has been one of the key instigators in the ongoing Middle East unrest. And this alone negates the protesters claim that Israel's counterattacks reached “disproportionate and inhumane levels.” Bottom line...the Palestinian's plight...the Palestinian death toll...lays squarely on Hamas'...not Israel's...shoulders what with the majority of Palestinians still supporting Hamas.

But something else forgotten...something critical to the entirety of the protest discourse...is the words of the First Amendment itself which states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

Reread those words carefully for the answer to actually stopping these protests, and with it their decidedly antisemitic rhetoric, lies within the words “the right of the people to peacefully assemble,” for the protests have now proven to be anything but peaceful. “Peacefully” does not mean one has the right to destroy property, take over another's property whether it be public of private property, nor does it give one the right to trash grounds nor physically injure others. “Peacefully” does not mean inciting violence, bringing weapons to “assemble,” nor does it give one the right to literally call for the deaths of those whose faith you find distasteful via instigation and incitement to do bodily harm, which no matter how one tries to twist it is not a Constitutional right.

And with the protesters also spewing “Death to America” chants, I believe they have opened themselves up to immediate arrest for those three words do not in any way petition for a “redress of grievances,” for with the word “death” they are...in my opinion...calling for the overthrow of our government...as in insurrection plans in the making. So with this let's circle back to this article's third paragraph where I speak about the silence from Democrat leaders trying to play both sides against the middle.


So here lets start with the fact that once New York police officers in riot gear were called in to remove the anti-Israel/ pro-Hamas protesters at Columbia University after they refused the university president's orders to “disband” their two-week pigsty of an encampment set up on university grounds, the stakes for Democrats grew much higher. 

How so? As the protests started spreading across college and university campuses nationwide, acts of antisemitism spread along with it as did the Democrats fear that the unease now being created could directly affect the November election. And while that fear is indeed justified it might not be in the way that most think. And why... simply because radicalized young people like the pro-Hamas contingency who do so like “talking the talk” while acting out an activist part, actually seldom go out to vote. It's the decent young people who vote...those going to college and university to learn... those not going simply to make radicalized political statements while garnering their 15 minutes of infamy.

So where exactly is the Democrats fear coming from and why their silence regarding both the condemnation of the acts being perpetrated and the agitators who are pushing the indoctrinated hate forward? The answer is really quite simple in that if Democrat leaders dare to bring even more focus on the mayhem taking place, it could actually backfire on them by uniting the growing collective of pro-Israel, pro-Jewish supporters together. The “from the river to the sea” nonsensical rhetoric does get old pretty fast, as does Biden's two-faced stance towards Israel including his statement that while he “condemns the antisemitic protests,” he quickly followed it up with words “condemning those who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians.”
 
In other words playing both sides against the middle in hopes of garnering the votes of those who not only relish in hate, but those who help perpetrate hate. And this, my friends, is a scenario that more times than not never ends well for the party or parties involved. Case closed.
