How the left has changed

Betsy's Page

Arthur Bierman has an essay looking at the founding documents of Hamas and Hezbollah and at the left's embrace of these groups. He concludes,

<<< Many years ago, when I was young, the Left was an honorable antifascist movement. It fought racism, anti-Semitism, clerical obscurantism; it supported modernity, science, humanism. Today's Left defends fascist thugs like Saddam Hussein and Islamo-fascist parties like Hamas and Hezbollah — parties that advocate returning to the Seventh century, and preach the most virulent form of anti-Semitism.

When I was young, men of the Left fought Fascism in Spanish trenches and on the beaches of Normandy; they would have been ashamed to shake a Nazi killer's hand. Today's Left activists preach Chamberlain's gospel of appeasement, and Left guru Chomsky joins Hezbollah leader Nasrallah on Lebanese TV, shakes his hand and voices approval of his 12,000-rocket arsenal donated to Hezbollah by Iran's mullahs for Israel's destruction.

How low the Left has sunk since I was young. >>>

Sometimes, it seems that there are those on the left who would prefer any group that opposed the US or Israel no matter how inimical those groups are to everything the left purports to believe in. Anti-westernism trumps everything.
