          “Jesus was Palestinian”?

          Now there’s a left populist slogan for folks to ruminate over.

                I am so close to hosting a pro-genocide party… invite a whole bunch of people over, watch and cheer Syrian massacres pretending it’s Palestinians, and come up with some kind of chant that after the Israelis flood the tunnels, tye distance from the River to the Sea will only be 18 inches of dry land…

                                I don't want to sound like an anti semite or anything, but I'm really disappointed in the jews for causing all of this.

                                  Regardless of the group protesting - if one is wishing to win hearts and minds - blocking airports over the Christmas holiday is unlikely to accomplish that objective. I've had similar feelings about any group that blocks traffic and tries to be a nuisance. It's not to say protest isn't appropriate - BUT leaders of such efforts should think through the impact and consequences of such actions. Miss an airplane to be with a person's family on Christmas - or participate in a wedding - and you stand a good chance of making an enemy for life. I guess it's human to do things that undermine one's goals - but just a tiny bit of thinking - and this kind of enmity can be avoided.

                                    These sorts of protests are the result of a moral panic roiling in the heads of the protesters, where they've convinced themselves that they are facing a test, perhaps the test of their very lifetimes, about whether they will or will not live up to their ideals. One tangible way of proving that they are willing to sacrifice for their ideals, is to become a pariah to random people, by ruining those people's day.

                                      The “right to return right to remain” sign in the JFK video I presume was referring to the Jewish people who were in that area long before Palestine ever existed.

                                          I'll never forget one post I read years ago on WTF from one of the resident middle aged progressive women. The moral panic was strong as she needed to do something - anything - to protest the election of President Trump. Up floated the possibility, in her otherwise rational mind, of going to a highway and laying down. "Moral panic" is such a perfect phrase, because the thought processes invoked are perfectly described as panicky.

                                          A lot of the panic comes from thought experiments that fester in the hearts and minds of the virtuous, about how they would have acted in Germany in 1937, or in the antebellum American south. They'd rather perform the first nonsensical act of destruction that springs to mind, than imagine themselves to be the sort of person who'd have stayed quiet and docile back then.

                                          Education is extremely important.
