Ruminations on D-Day


On June 6, 1944, the Allies launched an invasion to lift the Nazi boot from the neck of the European continent. Sixty-six years later, the aptly named Greta Berlin of “Free Gaza” instructs us that “What Israel needs to understand is that nothing is accomplished by force.”

This particular brand of liberal thought is in concert with bumper stickers commonly found on Berkley and Amherst and Cambridge Volvo’s proclaiming that “War leaves all children behind”. As the Allies advanced into Germany and freed large numbers of prisoners from concentration camps, the many children should have, apparently, abhorred the Allies’ use of force.

Now we have Helen Thomas, grand dame of the White House press corps, calling for Israelis to be forced from their homes and deported to Germany and Poland. The twisted, hateful, racist ramblings of a liberal icon will go unremarked, but Arizonans being assaulted by MS-13 and drug gangs must passively endure.

Yes, the mechanisms of the liberal mind remain a mystery.
