Unfortunately for them, their tweets and blog entries show what idiots they are.
For example, on day 2, they visited a mosque. Of course these progressive women were very happy to bring bedsheets to cover themselves up as much as possible so as not to offend their liberal hosts, while the men could be bareheaded and in shirtsleeves.
So feminist!
By way of contrast, when they visited the Western Wall in Israel, they didn't really take religious sensibilities into account:
In Israel, the are free to protest Israel. In Iran, they are free to protest - Israel.
But that's who Code Pink is. They pretend to care about human rights and feminism, but they are very selective as to whose rights they want to protect. And if visiting Iran means they must cover up, who are they to argue?
On day 2 they also visited the US Den of Espionage Museum, where they were treated to posters like this one implying Jews control America:
The group's reaction to hate and antisemitism? Wide smiles:
On Day 3, their diarist noted that they were pretty much prisoners the entire trip:
I need to share with you that we have phenomenal guides, always looking out for us, always ready with answers to my innumerable questions, and treating us, each in their own individual way, like family. They truly are a fine imitation of helicopter parents, hovering over us, and telling us mainly what not to do! I cannot say enough about their professionalism, competence and caring.In other words, they couldn't wander over to talk to ordinary people without their "guides" approving. Who employs their "guides?" It isn't them!
Prolific tweeter Ariel Elyse Gold was ecstatic over what she believed was a synagogue:
Um, no. This is a Shiite Alam, from a tradition of Shiite metalwork.
Gold, who loudly uses her Jewishness to justify her anti-Zionism, doesn't even know what a menorah looks like.
The term "useful idiots" has rarely been more appropriate.
