Monday’s antisemitic bridge and tunnel blocking “protest” generated a new folk hero, an ordinary man fed up with the protesters’ ugly, narcissistic “activism.” Meanwhile, it turns out the “movement” is backed by America’s left wing, moneyed elites — all too appropriate for goons who feel so comfortable screwing over working Joes just trying to get on with their days.
A whole laundry list of radical groups joined to produce Monday’s mess, from the Palestinian Youth Movement to the New York Democratic Socialists of America to Jewish Voice for Peace to Al Awda, accused of ties to terrorists. And big names in lefty philanthropy provided funding to at least one of them, Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP).
Like a foundation set up by ice cream titans Ben and Jerry, whose brand posted a hypocritical tweet about land givebacks to the Indigenous over the last 4th of July and caused nationwide scorn and hilarity. And the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, an anti Israel stalwart whose money has reportedly helped bankroll groups linked directly to Hamas.
Heck, even the charitable arm of retail investing behemoth Charles Schwab has given to JVP. What the heck, Chuck? The radical groups portray themselves as innocent, hopelessly outmatched fighters for justice: Ha! Just like the terrorists they support, these cowards have plenty of money and institutional backing .
In other words, it’s the Black Lives Matter story all over again . (No shock that BLM is a leading voice in the anti Israel movement, either.) The contemporary US left enjoyed until very recently the unalloyed blessing of billionaires, huge corporations, elite universities, and the tip top American creative class.
Hamas’ Oct. 7 atrocities seem to have begun a reckoning with that . Good. Time for the rich and powerful to realize that there’s no “social justice” being built when they fund the lefty equivalents of the Klan or the American Nazi Party..
