The Ludicrous Rampant WILLFUL-Ignorance of Leftism

The Jubilation of Hamas is Symptomatic of  Academic Gangrene (2 Timothy 2:17) 

               For the reason that both  faculty at our nation's most prestigious law schools, and the students seated under them, embrace a nazified agenda by celebrating torture and atrocities against Israeli families on October 7, 2023, the "Free Gaza" placards they marched under (thereby making them “useful idiots”), heightens the urgency to expose them to the light of purging clarity.  Their naivety entails both moral and rational failures, the first of which is evident to all of us who rely on the rightful authority of morality in our conscience, while the latter while the latter betrays the gullibility of the protestors since, in actuality, Hamas would target every last one of them for death.  Yet the absurdity of their error is easily exposed by the following facts that can be known with full conviction to be “truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth”:

1.      Israelites have inhabited their present location in the Holy Land for the last about 3,500 years.

2.      In 136 CE Rome banished Israel (IS) from Jerusalem and out of spite renamed Judea, Palestine.   

3.      Arabs only began settling in the Holy Land after the founding of the religion of Islam in 622 CE.

4.      After the close of WW 2, it was not Israel’s decision, but the United Nations’ Balfour Declaration (UNBD) to create both of the independent homelands of Israel and Palestine.

5.      The Holocaust happened in part with the encouragement of Muslim leaders to see Jews killed.

6.      On numerous occasions Egypt, Syria, and Jordan simultaneously declared war on Israel.  Israel prevailed in every battle.  Indeed insofar as IS could ensure its safety, in contrast to every other nation, they gave back the spoils they rightfully won (land, oil, etc.) back to the avengers.

7.      In “Black September” of 1970, Palestinians living as refugees in Jordan under the independent fist of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) turned against their hosts by seeking to overthrow the Jordanian government.  Thousands of Palestinians killed each other in the clash.  

8.      In 2005 Israel “handed over the keys” to Palestinians to fully govern Gaza for themselves.

9.      While Israel agrees to cooperate with a Palestinian state, it is the firm goal of Hamas to utterly annihilate Israel. The discovered tunnels packed with weapons is physical proof that it is so.  

10.   That Hamas hides behind civilians as shields during conflict proves both that they don’t value their own children, and that the mounting Palestinian casualties are the fault of Hamas alone.

It is not our government that compels Leftists to embrace fascism, but instead infantile thinking.  Indeed,  the 1^st Amendment of the Bill of Rights states to the contrary says, “Congress shall make no law…prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech.”           

There is clearly an “elephant in our room” (society) in regard to life’s most fundamental question, “What’s wrong with our world?” In reply, many causes (poverty, ignorance, prejudice, finitude, etc.) are suggested except for the most basic one, which confronts our human proclivities with respect to truth.

The Choice: Flawed Liberators? or Clueless, Ruthless, Thugs?

        “First take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye .” (Jesus in Matthew 7:5)  

It is an absolute fact that every disciple Jesus called, and indeed every human author of Holy Scripture, was a miserable sinner, just like me…and you too.  I don’t state this to anger anyone.  But if anyone imagines themselves to be righteous before God, they are not allowing God’s law to expose the inner truth about themselves (1 John 1:7).  Indeed any dismissal of evidence of any kind that favors the existence of God renders such a person guilty of the first sin St. Paul mentions (Romans 1:18f).  Further-more, whoever imposes their expectations onto others while failing to adhere to the same standards (again, of their own design), is both a hypocrite and a violator of the golden rule.  Despite doubts by critical textual critics, I am convinced Jesus said the words recorded in John 8 for the reason that his challenge to the woman’s judgers is morally superior, in the manner that is be expected only of the true Son of God.  Similarly, people participating in toppling statues of our Founders have neither the moral authority nor the right to do so.  They are to the contrary imposing on historical figures criteria that are far more stringent than God applied to the biblical writers.  We all should plead for His mercy instead. 

 

               Neither do these self-appointed “revolutionaries” demonstrate any potential qualification to lead anyone, let alone an entire society, into uncharted waters.  Their credibility indeed is undermined right up front by their track record (televised) of refusing to submit their agenda to intellectual scrutiny.  To the contrary they merely out-shout and  bludgeon their dissenters.  For similar reasons, they offer no grounds at all for why anyone should trust that their brand of defiance of people in authority has any capacity to usher in a harmonious new world, or even a society remotely as just as our own admittedly imperfect one.  Recently I saw on TV one rioter berating police with his presumptive taunts that police don’t have intellectual skills to do “college-level” thinking.  I judge to the contrary that his obnoxious presence merely raised doubts about the credibility of universities as a whole (see below), even as he exposed as questionable the intellectual weight behind the college degree(s) that he claimed to earn. 

  

               More to the point, anarchists’ agenda depends on the distorted parody of US history that they impose.  Firstly, their methods of highlighting what they judge as the “unsavory” aspects of our record, reject classical academic methods of truth-seeking by censoring all arguments that thwart their goals.  And their “motivational” tools rely on pressuring for a compliance that is enforced by threats of harm.   

  

By contrast, authentic truth-seeking, as opposed to brain-washing, seeks out all substantiated evidence that is relevant to a given question.  It also frames the historical details correctly in light of its larger context.  And it debates in complete freedom the relative merits of each relevant hypothesis.
