Elder of Ziyon
I always thought that talk about blood and soil has a
really bad ring to it ever since the Nazis used it to express some of their
core beliefs. But I was obviously mistaken: it’s progressive. You don’t have to
take my word for it – here’s Linda Sarsour: “I am honored and grateful to God
that he chose to let this Palestinian blood run through my veins. A blood of a
courageous, determined and resilient people” who “have EVERY right to fight for
their land.”
And needless to say, Linda Sarsour fully supports
Palestinians fighting “for their land” by trying to storm the border between
Gaza and Israel…
It’s hard to know what exactly Linda Sarsour has in mind
when she is sending her “Palestinian sisters and brothers … gratitude for their
sacrifices.” Maybe she’s grateful that they haven’t yet revolted against Hamas?
After all, the Hamas leader has given one of those speeches
that should really please someone
whose “Arab pride was hurt” when the ruthless Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was
captured.
When you regard Saddam Hussein as a mistreated hero and are
so immensely proud of the “Palestinian blood” running through your veins it must
sound wonderful to hear: “We will take down the border with Israel and we will
tear the Israelis’ hearts out of their bodies!” Though for some reason, Linda
Sarsour had nothing to say about this speech, or the Palestinian
Nazi flag, in the two posts she put on her Facebook page since then. Maybe
she’s too modest to talk all the time about how proud she is? Oh, and she was
also too modest to mention the chants
of “Remember Khaybar, O Jews. Muhammad's army will return.”
In any case, you may have heard that a senior adviser to
Mahmoud Abbas had some very strong words of condemnation
for the violent show Hamas is putting on, accusing the terror group of “deliberately
sending Gazan civilians to their deaths to grab good headlines.”
But Linda Sarsour doesn’t quite see it this way. In her most
recent post,
she passionately decries “the inhumanity in the continued assault,
dehumanization and murder of Palestinians who have every right to mobilize for
dignity on their own land;” she also calls on her followers to “say a prayer
for these souls” – meaning those who were killed while trying to storm the
border. And she adds: “More important than that - speak truth to power and do
not let anyone dictate what your eyes clearly see for themselves.”
Okay then, my eyes clearly see for themselves that Linda
Sarsour wants her followers to “say a prayer” for more than a dozen terrorists.
