Jewish Far Leftists and Islamic terrorists: Essentially, two sides of the same coin.

Telegraph A new force is emerging in our politics. It’s not the “Far-Right populism” that so many seem to fear. Quite the opposite.

Far-Leftists and Islamic terrorists/extremists have learned to work together. In France this phenomenon even has a name – Islamo-gauchisme, Islamo-Leftism. But those groups are on the political margins. The key to the breakout to the mainstream that we are seeing is the outreach to “woke” opinion, now the common currency of much of the centre-Left. And these unlikely bedfellows can work together because they share a common view of society. 

All these activists see society as based on group rights: a regressive form of essentially communal politics where people view their rights as deriving from their class or group status, whether race, religion, economic status, sexual identity, or even just opinion.

Because this is so obviously unhistorical, they want to reset the present day as year zero, so they can create a fantasy view of the past as simply about repression of minority groups by the rulers. For some, the ruling class is rich white men or simply “whiteness” or Christian or Western values; for others it is capitalists, big business, and neoliberals; and for others it still is, and always has been, Jews.

That’s why criticism of Israel, a successful Western country based on freedom and free markets, has been the perfect cause to bring them all together in public. But it won’t stop at Israel. It’s aimed at all of us.
