I think my discomfort from this is the feeling that it's not an isolated example of nutty protest. I'm great at making crazed predictions, but it's not gratifying to see them come true. Where three years ago, If I said I had a fear of a USA Intifada, I would know how batshit crazy it sounded, now we see the imagery evoked symbolically. There's a scary climate developing, and it appears our country has lost the power to fight subversion. If we look at the situation in Israel, and the whole sham of a peace process, there have been no surprises. Yet Israel plays along despite knowing how things will end up, poorly. These acts of faith are supposed to prove a point, but the end means never outweight the consequences. If there's no fear of the long arm of Israel - then what?
The ISM and PLO have already joined forces in Gaza twisting the concept of fighting for peace, and here in the US we now see mainstream "peace organizations" alligned with hate speech, turning a blind eye to it. Someone I wish I could write off, like Debbie Schlussel with her conspiracy theories starts to sound like they might be right.
http://www.debbieschlussel.com/ We know Bin Laden is very open with his intentions on what he plans to do - and he made it clear that he would set off a civil war in the USA. Dearborn, Michigan isn't a random spot on the map in that case. Does this mean Jews will need to radicalize too? Rabbi Meyer Kahane's seperatist and extremist views never took off with the JDL, aside from the clever "every Jew a .22" tshirts.... but it's getting harder to write him off now. Al Qaeda's first attack in the US is said to have been his assassination.
Now we go back to an act of civil disobediance, in loony SanFrancisco, hanging the flag of a terrorist group across from a City Hall. Arab supremacists doing Arab pride chants covering their faces makes me very uncomfortable, but factor in the amount of Holocaust turnspeak, conspiracies, replacement history, and now media manipulation and it's seriously concerning. Much of it seems coordinated. The dates of events are not random - the Israeli soldiers were kidnapped on the anniversary of Entebbe, just before the Jewish period of Tish B'av which also marks a year after the Gaza pullout - the UN deadline for Iran is the day Muslims mark Muhammeds flight to the cosmos from the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
So I have to wonder, at what point does hanging the flag of an illegal terror organization that bombed our Embassy and targeted our citizens cross the line?
