More And More Americans Are Supporting Terrorist Organizations
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Wall Street Journal had an interesting article.
American supporters are increasingly open about their allegiance.
Hamas and Hezbollah threatened the United States.
Public support for terrorist organizations would once have shocked Americans.
What a great line!
What a great line!
So many of us speak about how America has changed.
That's a great example.
Public support for terrorist organizations would once have shocked Americans.
Now, it's common.
On social media and college campuses, kafia-clad protesters openly embrace Hamas and Hezbollah, both U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organizations.
Labor Day marchers in New York City waved the Hamas flag even as news broke that the group had executed Israeli and American hostages in Gaza.
On September 10th, protesters outside the presidential debate in Philadelphia waved Hamas flags and held a banner stating America is the head of the snake, spelling America with a K as if it's a fascist country.
They chanted in support of Hamas' military leader, Yahya Sinwar.
Islamist organizations and preachers at extreme mosques openly mourned the death of Ismail Haniyeh, head of Hamas' political bureau.
Haniyeh, a State Department-designated terrorist who helped organize the October 7, 2023 massacre in Israel, was killed in Tehran on July 31st.
Tonight we mourn Ismail himself.
But no, his martyrdom is not in vain, tweeted Zahra Bilou, Executive Director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in San Francisco.
That's known as CARE, the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
And they're regarded by...
All sorts of mainstream liberal organizations as a legitimate spokesman of the Arab-American community.
They're a scummy organization who celebrate terror against Jews.
That's all they are.
That's all they have ever been.
The ADL worked with them at a time, and it's...
The naivete of liberals, the lack of desire to believe that evil is evil, is, you see, the left supports evil, and the liberals don't support the anti-evil.
That's the best way to put it.
Isn't that amazing?
Here's another one.
In a Friday sermon, delivered August 2nd, Sheikh Ismail Hamdi of the Islamic Center of Passaic County, New Jersey, called Hania a great leader.
Adding, we are happy for him that he was martyred.
What kind of language is that?
Do Christians or Jews talk that way?
We are happy for him that he was martyred?
Happy for him?
Well, you know, I told you this probably 20 years ago, that one of the mottos of Hamas is, we love death as much as the Jews love life.
They're death lovers.
Yeah, parents celebrate when their kids blow themselves up in order to kill Jews.
They celebrate, they hand out candy.
But the naive liberal wants to believe, oh, we're all the same.
We're all the same.
I remember at the height of the Cold War when I was in the Soviet Union, I was 21 years old.
I was in a Moscow hotel reserved only for Westerners.
No Soviet citizen could enter unless they worked there.
And I was at breakfast and there was an American couple.
And they were telling me as a fellow American, you know, people say that communism is awful, the Soviet Union is evil.
We went to the Bolshoi Ballet last night and it's just like home.
And I had just met the day before with dissidents, people suffering under this horrific regime in the Soviet Union, and these stupid liberals from America, not leftists, just run-of-the-mill liberals.
Oh, people are the same everywhere.
I came home.
And some woman from a Presbyterian church group and I debated.
She was saying she had gone to on a women's mission to the Soviet Union and met with women there.
And women there want the same thing.
They want to be able to take care of their families just like American women do.
Yeah, it's all the same.
We're all the same.
People don't like to acknowledge evil.
Yep.
Imam Ra'id al-Sawar of Washington State's Pullman Islamic Center compared Haniyeh to the American revolutionaries of 1776 while calling for the annihilation of, quote, the plundering Zionists.
Count them one by one, he said.
Scatter them.
Do not spare a single one of them.
In Dearborn, Michigan, local religious leaders and activists staged the September 29th vigil for Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, killed two days earlier in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut.
Attendees chanted, We heed your call, O Nasrallah, death to Israel, and chaybar, chaybar, O Jews, the army of Muhammad will return, a reference to a 7th century slaughter of Jews.
In what is now Saudi Arabia.
Hezbollah has branded its retaliatory strikes against Israel Operation Chaybar.
Okay?
That's what we're dealing with, my dear friends.
One more thing about that.
Did you know that a Yazidi woman was enslaved in Gaza?
She was kidnapped at the age of 11 by ISIS and eventually ended up in Gaza, where they kept her.
And there are scummy kids all over America on campuses chanting on behalf of Hamas.
An 11-year-old Yazidi girl.
Remember the Yazidis?
It's an ethnic group in Iraq.
And they were slaughtered and they were raped.
The preview of October 7th.
And they found one of them in Gaza.
Yeah.
The human condition.
