Now that on a regular basis people are rioting for change in Iran and dancing within the streets of Venezuela, the place are the members from the “No Kings” rallies? Shouldn’t they be lifting a glass in celebration proper now (“Protesters’ lives hang in the balance,” Jan. 15)?
Not too long in the past, we noticed indicators that learn: “Free Palestine” and “Queers for Palestine.” Why are all these people so silent now?

So Muslims are being slaughtered by their own leaders in Iran, and there’s not a phrase of outrage from the standard suspects on the left. Is anybody on the market shocked?

The anti-Israel “social justice warriors” are placing their hypocrisy on full show.
In Iran, 1000’s of civilians valiantly protesting Tehran’s monstrous Islamist dictatorship have been slaughtered. Yet no Hollywood stars on the Golden Globes or faculty college students in encampments have been expressing solidarity with these courageous people craving to be free of oppression, misogyny and intolerance.

Clearly, these teams have one agenda, and it’s actually not humanitarianism. Rather, with political leaders like Mayor Mamdani, they’re calling for the eradication of Israel.

Since late December, 1000’s of protesters have been murdered in Iran. Yet there may be a deafening silence on college and faculty campuses and elsewhere.
No mass protests over the slaughter and struggling in Iran on the streets of New York City or anyplace in America. No limitless “human rights” encampments.
Why nothing? The purpose is straightforward. No Jews, no information.

The Issue: President Trump condemning antisemites claiming to be Republican or half of MAGA.
I and lots of different Post readers be part of President Trump in abhorring haters (“Don ‘abhors’ haters,” Jan. 13).
Two well-known haters, Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, have acquired particular recognition just lately as persistent and relentless haters of Jews and of Israel.
Having been fired by Fox News, Tucker Carlson apparently bought himself to Qatar as a hater of Jewish people and the state of Israel.
The terrible Candace Owens, for her half, seemingly simply spews her hatred for click on bait.

I used to suppose Candace Owens was fairly. That is, earlier than she turned fairly ugly, and earlier than she turned so hateful towards the Jewish people.
What motivated her to take action? Did a individual of the Jewish religion do one thing so heinous to her that she turned on all of us?
Hate makes you ugly. It emanates from inside; that’s why Candace is fairly ugly.

It seems as if Candace Owens has change into the new Joseph Goebbels.
When arsonist Stephen Pittman burns down a Mississippi synagogue and compares it to a “synagogue of Satan” — a typical Owens phrase — it’s time to acknowledge simply how vile she is.
