The death of Osama bin Laden has driven a stake into the heart of the Left,
causing progressives to bleed and moan as their unholy alliance with radical
Islam absorbs the devastating May 2 blow.
The radical Islamic half of the romance is in agony as it sheds bitter tears
for the mass murderer. Indeed, Hamas, Hezbollah, the armed wing of Fatah,
and tens of thousands of radical Muslims around the world have prominently
displayed their sorrow and anger for the world to see.
The alliance’s leftist half is, meanwhile, also deeply grieving. The guru
of
the leftist political faith, Noam Chomsky, is responsibly leading the way.
Having distinguished himself, among other intriguing ways, as a Jew who has
traveled to Lebanon to embrace personally the leaders of Hezbollah, whose
stated top priority is to rid the world of Jews, the M.I.T. professor
emeritus has not disappointed the faithful, progressive flock. Furiously
responding to the assassination of the Left’s idol, Chomsky fumed in his
recent article: “We might ask ourselves how we would be reacting if Iraqi
commandos landed at George W. Bush’s compound, assassinated him, and dumped
his body in the Atlantic.”
The al-Qaeda leader’s killing is an outrage, in Chomsky’s mind, because
Bush’s “crimes vastly exceed bin Laden’s.” Chomsky is outraged not only
that
the operation was clearly “a planned assassination, multiply violating
elementary norms of international law,” but also that its victim had never
been legally proven to be the perpetrator of 9/11. Undoubtedly, Chomsky’s
Gulag Denial mindset continues unabated, for having shamelessly attempted to
deny the Khmer Rouge’s Holocaust in Cambodia was clearly not enough to
satiate Chomsky’s totalitarian odyssey.
Following in the leftist guru’s tracks, Glenn Greenwald fumed over at
Salon.com that Americans were cheering and feeling patriotic that “someone
just got two bullets put in their skull.” This is terrible in leftist eyes
because that “someone” is not George W. Bush but rather America’s most
wanted enemy-terrorist. Greenwald is also very upset that a question lingers
over whether bin Laden really had to be killed and not taken prisoner
instead.
Heaven forbid! A targeted assassination of the leader of al-Qaeda, a
jihadist terrorist organization that has killed thousands of innocent
American citizens. Oh, the unjustness of it all! One wonders whether
Greenwald will be able to soldier on.
Meanwhile, Curtis Doebbler, a leftist “human rights” lawyer who teaches at
a
Palestinian university, grieves that the “West is now celebrating the death
of someone who, however misled and wrong-minded, was a person who was
willing to fight for the poorest and the most vulnerable people in the world
to the very end of his life.” He continues: “That the US had to kill him
in
violation of international law makes all the more believable Osama Bin
Laden’s claims of Western hypocrisy and the need for a better alternative.”
The “alternative” that Doebbler is dreaming of and that Osama had in mind?
Well, it’s not that complicated: it’s what Islamists are offering leftists
–
and that which leftists are salivating over – in their unholy alliance:
Sharia law.
Let’s also not be too confused over why “progressive” feminist Naomi
Klein
called out for bringing “Najaf to New York” in her infamous 2004 column in
The Nation, in which she reached her hand out in solidarity to Muqtada al-
Sadr and his Islamo-fascist Mahdi Army in the Iraqi Shi’ite stronghold of
Najaf. Klein understands very well what bringing Najaf to New York means:
the Shi’ite stronghold, where Muqtada al-Sadr and his Mahdi Army at one
time
ran their torture chambers and sowed their terror, replicated on America’s
shores.
The list of leftists weeping over the death of Osama is endless: Dan
Rodricks at the Baltimore Sun complaining that killing Osama is “not
justice”; Laura Flanders at The Nation condemning the raid as “Americans
seeking sense and getting vengeance”; former West German Chancellor Helmut
Schmidt denouncing Osama’s death as “clearly a violation of international
law”; and the terrorist-loving Code Pink’s Medea Benjamin unable to
disguise
her agony over at the Huffington Post, counseling us not to sink “into a
false sense of triumphalism in the wake of Bin Laden’s passing.” |
