You’ve heard me talk a lot about the Red-Green Alliance, how Marxist/Anarchists (Red) join forces with Islamists (Green) to target Israel and the United States:
So when they have an anti-colonial ideology on campuses, when they talk about white supremacy, when they talk about, you know, indigenous rights, things like that, they use Israel as their mutual object of hate.So the way I would describe it is that it’s not so much that they hate Israel, which they do. It’s not so much that they hate Jews, which many of them do. It is that Israel is a very useful organizing mechanism for the people who hate western society, western civilization, hate the United States and hate capitalism.Israel is something around which groups who have absolutely nothing in common can come together in hate. And that would be what’s frequently referred to as the Red-Green Alliance. So the Marxists and the anarchists and the Islamists, who in many ways are the exact opposite ideologically all come together to hate the Jews and hate Israel.And so that has developed over 30 years. So it didn’t start on October 7th, but it bubbled up on October 7th….
Kemberlee and I wrote an Op-ed in The New York Post tonight, for tomorrow’s print paper, on the Red-Green Alliance, and how it is being weaponized for the Democratic National Convention, and is a preview of what is to come this fall on campuses.
Read the whole thing, the Red-Green Alliance will wreak anti-Jewish havoc — first at the Dem convention then on campuses:
It looks like the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next week will be hit with aggressive and violent protests by groups that hate Israel and hate America.It’s an unholy alliance of the far left and anarchists, on the one hand, and Islamists and pro-Hamas terror supporters, on the other.It’s frequently called the Red-Green Alliance, where Marxist and Islamist groups that have nothing in common ideologically unite on their shared opposition to Western civilization and capitalism, targeting Jews and Israel as proxies for all they hate, with ignorant “useful idiots” joining in.At our website, Legal Insurrection, we have been tracking this Red-Green Alliance for over a decade.Groups like Students for Justice in Palestine, American Muslims for Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace (which is not Jewish or for peace), among many others, have joined forces with and manipulated “social justice” movements and diversity, equity and inclusion efforts to turn campuses into Jew-free zones, as a judge just found happened at UCLA.We saw this Red-Green Alliance during the anti-Israel riots at Columbia University, where pro-Hamas groups linked arms with Black Lives Matter.
Democrats threw fuel on this Red-Green fire by allowing anti-Israel groups to bully the party out of nominating Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro for vice president.Shapiro would’ve been the ideal Democrat nominee, a hugely popular liberal governor of a crucial swing state.But he was perceived as too pro-Israel for the party activists.There was also a distinctly antisemitic aspect of the opposition to Shapiro, who is Jewish.As Democratic activist and commentator Van Jones noted: “You also have antisemitism that has gotten marbled into this party. . . . How much of what just happened is caving in to some of these darker parts in the party?”The extremist Democratic Socialists of America and anti-Israel Islamist groups banded together to warn Kamala Harris there’d be hell to pay if she nominated Shapiro.Throwing Shapiro to the Red-Green wolves was like putting blood in shark-infested waters, increasing the likelihood of violence at the DNC and on campuses.Appeasing the mob, as the Democrats and campus administrations have done, never works.Red-Green Alliance groups have already received the go-ahead for a “March on the DNC” that will be replicated on campuses.
Expect dangerous traffic blockades, street intimidation and harassment of pro-Israel and pro-America delegates and passersby.These marches may end up resembling the George Floyd riots and looting.Driving Zionists out of the Democratic Party goes hand in hand with driving Zionists off campus and creating Jew-free zones.Many of the groups behind the March on the DNC — the national SJP, Palestinian Youth Movement and US Campaign for Palestinian Rights — are leaders in the campus anti-Zionist purge.For example, SJP chapters have been instructed to reserve space on the anniversary of Oct. 7 for “resistance events” mocking and taunting Jewish students over the massacre.The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, is bracing for protests by an unofficial SJP chapter that considers itself a “voice for Hamas.”It advocates “armed rebellion” using “any means necessary.”Columbia University is preparing for antisemitic protests and has begun locking down the campus as students trickle in for the new semester, limiting campus access to those with proper campus identification.The situation is so bad at Harvard that the administration is considering banning messages written in chalk, a laughably unserious measure.Surely protestors hell-bent on the destruction of a nation and its people will not be swayed once their chalk-writing privileges are revoked.Meanwhile, the Young Democratic Socialists of America are encouraging students at more than 100 colleges and universities to participate in a “Student Strike for Palestine” protest to kick off the coming academic year to pressure their respective institutions to divest from Israel.The point is to create an atmosphere of intimidation.Who is going to stand up to these groups and the backers funding them?Who is going to tell them to stop?We know the Democrats and college administrators won’t.The streets around the DNC will be filled with rage and hate, as will the campuses this fall.Unless we start seeing real backbone from political and academic leaders, more Jew-free zones such as happened at UCLA will be coming to campuses across the country.
