The article discusses the history of the Left's stance on Israel and it's u-turn. This caught my eye:
To understand why the Left has done a U-turn on this issue, one needs to appreciate that activists such as Noam Chomsky, John Pilger and Antony Loewenstein feed on a constant diet of victims and define the progressive cause by hatred of whichever group they hold responsible for victimisation. Hatred has always been an essential characteristic of leftist ideology, providing the motivating force for its theory of dialectical materialism.
The Left used to be the champions of women and gay rights as well as free speech. That all changed after the fall of Communism.
With its power greatly reduced, the Left and what Communists that were left, joined forces with Islamists. Muslims became the new victims.
The Stop the War Coalition is led by both Communists and Islamists; you regularly see both at their anti-Israeli protests. British MP George Galloway supports both communists and Islamists as does London's mad mayor Livingstone.
But this put the Left in a quandary. Islam persecutes both women and gays. No matter to the Left, their hatred of those who are responsbile for the victimisation of their new Muslim victims, means they will defend Muslims despite these abuses. The Left's victim must be defended at all costs otherwise the Left has no reason to exist. Since Islam doesn't see women and gays as victims, the Left no longer does either. Hence the Left's silence over Muslim persecution of women and gays.
As the Left merged with Islamists and adopted Muslims as their new victims, the Jews had to go as well. Read Brian's article to see how that came about.
All the while the left wing media have been supporting this perverted reality. Photogate is a product of that hatred and perversion.
Thank god for bloggers.
