The Flag Of The Only County In The Middle East

Where gays and trannies don't get flying lessons by being thrown off buildings, is now considered by progressive LGBTQEIEIO idiots to be a "hateful symbol".

The Detroit News:  Michigan LGBTQ group labels Israel flag 'harmful symbolism'

Apparently the mere presence of Israeli flag at the pride march caused trauma and, per the director of the pride festival, "real harm" to gay Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrian, and other LGBTQs from those hotbeds of toleration for LGBT rights.

This is, of course, totally unlike the trauma and "real harm" they might experience of being thrown off buildings or being stoned to death for being LGBTQ in those hotbeds of toleration like Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria.

The Enemy Within The Gates Of Academia

While the average academic tends to be a progressive idjit who hates America, hates Israel and Western Civilization and spreads DEI garbage to further those ends, some members of the Red-Green alliance want to take it a step further and get more spicy:

The Detroit News:  UM group orchestrated terror campaign to sever Israel ties, feds say

Federal prosecutors unsealed an indictment Wednesday against eight people linked to the University of Michigan accused of orchestrating plans to threaten university leaders, police and businesses with a wave of crimes designed to force the university to sever ties with Israel. 

And who are these fine folk?  The names are not surprising: 

Those charged in the indictment unsealed Wednesday were:

∎ Zainab Hakim, 23, of Canton Township.

∎ Amatullah Hakim, 21, of Ann Arbor.

∎ Paige Feyock, 26, of Ann Arbor.

∎ Ahmet Korkaya, 28, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

∎ Jonathan Zou, 22, of Ann Arbor.

∎ Alexander Sepulveda, 23, of Chicago.

∎ Mariam Odeh, 24, of Dearborn.

∎ Colin Weger, 24, of Ann Arbor. 

Oh, and it turns out Mariam Odeh happens to be an allegedly ex-campaign staffer for Democrat US Senate candidate Abdul Al-Sayed - even as she was paid by the campaign in March of this year, and was apparently on staff in April, so "ex" sounds rather recent don't it?  Funny coincidence, that.

The Detroit News: Ex-Abdul El-Sayed campaign staffer charged in UM threat case                                                                                                                            
Progressives seek to destroy Western Civilization.  Islam is simply not compatible with Western Civilization, even when you wrap it in academic garb.

About time we start taking this threat more seriously. 

Michigan Democratic Party Goes Full Progressive Islamist

And you should never go Full Progressive Islamist.

It's a Red-Green alliance all the way now for Michigan's Democratic Party.

The Party voted to have Hasan Makled, a Hezbollah-supporting anti-semite for the Board of Regents at the University of Michigan, removing seated Michigan Jewish Democrat Jordan Acker.

The Detroit News: Finley: Michigan Democrats use convention to embrace antisemitism

Michigan's Democratic Party then went on to endorse Abdul El-Sayed for US Senate - the same Abdul El-Sayed who has Hasan Piker campaigning for him and won;t disavow Piker for saying the USA deserved 9/11, and who didn't want to talk about the death of the dictator Khamenei as it might upset his constituents, and who hand-waved away the attack on Temple Israel by saying, similar to Ilhan Omar's some people did something, that hurt people can hurt people.

The convention, while having a whole bunch of Palestinian flags flying had an almost complete lack of American flags present - the only one seen was being carried by a lone pro-Israel Democrat who had both an American and an Israeli flag. 

Even some Jewish Democrats are finally waking up as to how far the Overton Window has shifted and that the Michgian Democrat Party is now the party of progressive socialism, Islam, and antisemitism:  Lakoom: The only Israel supporters on the Floor.

The Michigan Democratic Party is now outright in support of Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iran.

This ain't your parent's Democratic Party.  Heck, it is not even America's anymore. 

Still No Word From Megan Rapinoe

Of the members of the Iranian women's Soccer Team who originally were going to seek asylum in Australia or the USA rather than return to Iran, all but three have reversed that decision and will be returning to Iran, where they will likely be killed for publicly daring to defect, not to mention removing their hijabs.

CBS News: 3 more members of Iran women's soccer team change course, decline to accept asylum in Australia

Have your families remaining behind in Iran being threatened with death or worse by the regime if you do not return will do that to you. 

Meanwhile, Megan Rapinoe, that "champion" of women's issues and soccer, who is all for men participating as women in women's sports, and who has "most stunningly and bravely" called out the US men's hockey team for celebrating their victory, apparently can't be bothered to publicly support real women in her own sport who are in very real danger.

Fox News: Piers Morgan rips Megan Rapinoe as 'hypocritical' over silence on Iranian women's soccer team

Then again, the left and progressives have been remarkably silent, if not outright supportive of the Iranian regime, so it is not really a surprise. 

Progressives Protesting Against Their Own Progressive Interest

So what leads women who dress up like this:

To protest in support of the Islamic mullah-led government of Iran, that makes women dress up like this:

 Heck, how do you explain how progressive Calla Walsh, a former campaign worker for  Senator Elizabeth Warren can get on stage in Iran, complete with the obligatory hijab, and on live Iranian TV recite "Death to America". ?

She is progressively propagandizing for a regime that, among other heinous things, requires women protestors seeking freedom to be raped before they are executed to prevent them under Islamic law from going to heaven, which they would if they died as virgins? 

These progressive women are quite simply fantasizing when they claim the government under President Trump and Republicans is a burgeoning theocracy that will force them to wear the snazzy red outfits.  Not going to happen.

Indeed, the Trump administration is taking active steps to free women currently trapped under the material of such similar outfits in Iran, far beyond the platitudes and lack of action of the progressives and prior Democratic leadership both. 

At the same time this is going on, these progressive women protest on behalf of a Islamic regime that, by any metric, abuses women in a fashion even the fictional wankers of the women's fantasy that run the theocracy in the Handmaid's Tale would find repugnant.

How to square that circle? 

It's basically a combination of fantasy, ignorance, and the Red-Green progressive alliance.

After all, with the fall of the Soviet Union, it looked to progressives that western civilization was in its ascendancy and communism and its promise of socialist paradise just wasn't going to happen.

So instead, they sought out support of regimes and peoples that while anti-progressive by word, act and ideology, stood the best chance of destroying western civilization that these progressives had convinced themselves was the source of all evil.

This is how you get progressive LGBT-ers protesting on behalf of peoples and regimes that think that the best LGBTer is one who is given a flying lesson - off a multi-story building. And it is how you get women protesting on behalf of regimes and ideologies that, if these same women were under their control that regime would systematically strip them of their rights including their rights to protest.

Never mind that women and indeed all mankind have never been freer than they are now in places where western civilization is ascendant. The progressive believe it is a hellhole where any moment now they will be forced into handmaid's suits and a socialist paradise waits around the corner if they just protest enough.

The Socialist Paradise they work for never actually arrives mind you, and if it does it inevitably fails in hunger and poverty, and is discarded by them as not a real "Socialist Paradise".  Progressives then try out the next one to lay their hopes upon.

So why the Red-Green alliance?  

Well, Islam is the only force, aside from Communist China, that right now has a real capability of tearing down western civilization, especially if the progressives in positions of power give it a helping hand with open immigration,  protection of it from criticism, and giving Islamism a free rein in their countries.

Somehow, the progressive figure, just like the gnome underpants theory of value, that if they stuff in enough Islamists, it will bring down western civilization and then lead to a socialist paradise where the enlightened progressives end up on top like white saviors to lead the unwashed Islamic hordes to paradise.

This cunning plan of the progressives has holes in it, a lot of them, to say the least.  

It doesn't have a good track record. Indeed the progressive leftists in Iran who supported the overthrow of the Shah by the Ayatollahs were among some of the first to be executed by the regime of the Ayatollahs.

But the plan is what they've got, even as it lacks any logical consistency, and it explains the rather inexplicable love the progressives have for people that are decidedly the very definition of UN-progressive.

Also, this irony of progressive women demonstrating in favor of regimes that are decidedly un-progressive towards women is not just found in the United States: Daily Mail: Ironic moment women's rights activists swear and jeer at protesters demonstrating against Iranian regime... which has brutally oppressed women for decades
