Again, moron... if White Supremacists can be labeled TERRORISTS, so can anti-Semites, who actually DO harm to Jews. 

White Supremacist are believers in Apartheid.

An issue of law enforcement action against the White Supremacist leadership cannot be separated from their actions and 
objectives, which perceives itself as a revolutionary force working toward the destruction of the United States, Israel and non-
whites.

The means to achieve this are not just through vandalism and civil unrest, which the Klan and White Supremacists directly 
employ... as the groups also support terrorism at home, praising the Jan. 6th "insurrection" as the pinnacle of revolutionary 
action.

The flagship Capitol rebellion established in January 2021, inspired a nationwide campaign emulating the occupation of other 
Capitol's spaces. The Capitol rebellion undertaking culminated in other occupations of 24 other Capitols in these states:

    Alabama
    Alaska
    Arizona
    Arkansas
    California
    Colorado
    Florida
    Georgia
    Idaho
    Illinois
    Indiana
    Iowa
    Kentucky
    Louisiana
    Michigan
    Minnesota
    Missouri
    New Hampshire
    New Mexico
    Ohio
    Oregon
    Pennsylvania
    Texas
    Washington

...with the activists even renaming "conquered" whole blocks of cities.

Now... doesn't that mean they're terrorists?

Yes, and were named so by MANY Democrat politicians.

So, WHY isn't/wasn't Senior activist Mahmoud Khalil, a member of the group: Columbia University Apartheid Divest, named as a 
terrorist, when HE was doing what I described above?

Actually, what I described above, WAS what Mahmoud Khalil and the group, Columbia University Apartheid Divest, did!

Almost every word above was taken from an article on what Mahmoud Khalil and the group, Columbia University Apartheid Divest, 
did!

=====

Mahmoud Khalil and the group Columbia University Apartheid Divest, ARE terrorists.

With the Saturday arrest of Columbia University Apartheid Divest senior activist Mahmoud Khalil, the organization that has been 
involved in a series of confrontations with New York City academic institutions has been thrust back into the spotlight.

The issue of law enforcement action against the group's leadership cannot be separated from the actions and objectives of CUAD, 
which perceives itself as a revolutionary force working toward the destruction of the United States and Israel.

The means to achieve this are not just through vandalism and civil unrest, which CUAD directly employs, as the group also 
supports terrorism at home and in the Middle East, praising the October 7 massacre as the pinnacle of revolutionary action.

CUAD, a coalition of far-left and anti-Israel student activist organizations, led many of the post-October 7 protest actions at 
Columbia University.

The flagship Columbia encampment established in April inspired a global campaign emulating the occupation of campus spaces. The 
Columbia encampment project culminated in the occupation of Hamilton Hall, with the activists renaming the conquered facility 
"Hind's Hall."

In the short term, the protests sought to pressure New York academic institutions to disclose all investments and cut any 
financial and academic ties with Israel, its institutions, or those in relationship with them.

Yet the revolutionary ideology that motivates CUAD seeks more than these immediate objectives, in the same way that new demands 
have arisen by activist groups once their calls for a ceasefire were met.

The group sees the United States as an empire, with their fight within "the belly of the beast" inextricably connected to the 
fight of Hamas and other terrorist organizations in the Levant.

CUAD, like most anti-Israel organizations, sees the entirety of Israel as an illegitimate project, not limiting their designs to 
the Green Line. In an October Instagram post, it described 76 years of "Nakba" and Israeli state illegitimacy, further explaining 
in an October 17 Substack article commemorating the October 7 massacre that it would "not stop demonstrating until Zionism ends."

"Colonial projects all die, and Zionism will not be saved," reads the article.

The so-called liberation sought by these activists is a global revolution, highlighted by their calls to restore the US to 
"Turtle Island" in the same fashion as they propose Israel become "Palestine." An encampment banner shown in a June 1 CUAD 
Instagram post called for liberation "From Turtle Island to Palestine."

"We recognize that we must work hard to weaken US imperialism"

In an August 16 Substack article connecting the theories of controversial post-colonial political philosopher Frantz Fanon to 
practice, CUAD members wrote, "As students living in the US, we recognize that we must work hard to weaken US imperialism."

CUAD repeatedly describes both Israel and the US as part of the same imperial system, sharing a February 2024 social media post 
in which Aaron Bushnell's self-immolation was described as being against the "US-Israeli state."

In a November 21 Substack article describing how a CUAD reading group studies the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine 
(PFLP)'s Strategy for the Liberation of Palestine, one student supposedly remarked, "The struggle in Palestine is my fight as a 
Black person in America."

"The movement for Palestinian liberation is not isolated; it is part of the global anti-imperialist struggle," the CUAD writer 
contextualized. "The interconnectedness of struggles against imperialism is critical - revolution sparks revolution."

CUAD believes that Israel cannot survive without US support and concluded in a November 7 article that by "working against US 
imperialism at home, alongside the people of Harlem and with an ear for their demands, we believe that we can facilitate its 
fall. Therefore, we cannot separate the struggle in support of a free Palestine with the struggle against US imperialism."

The means acceptable to achieve the destruction of Israel and the United States included armed violence and terrorism.

In an October 8 Instagram post in which the CUAD leadership apologized to member Kymani James for coming out against his January 
statements proclaiming "Zionists don't deserve to live" and suggesting he was inclined to kill them because of their supposedly 
evil ideology, CUAD reiterated their support for the tool of political violence.

"We support liberation by any means necessary, including armed resistance," said CUAD.

"In the face of violence from the oppressor equipped with the most lethal military force on the planet, where you've exhausted 
all peaceful means of resolution, violence is the only path forward."

The Substack articles posted by CUAD are rife with battlefield reports describing how Hamas and Hezbollah are fighting 
"heroically" against the IDF. In an August 16 article, CUAD assured a reader that Hamas and the Houthis were progressive forces 
because of the support of the people and their roles in weakening US imperialism. The rockets fired by the Houthis and other 
terrorist organizations against Israeli civilian centers are cast in a glorified tone.

"For over a year, the resistance to this genocidal occupation has been a banner of hope for many since Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, 
with the axis of resistance remaining strong," CUAD wrote in the same newsletter.
CUAD praised Sinwar, October 7 Massacre

In a fawning November 7 Substack tribute, it described Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar as a "brave man" who will live in the hearts of 
many. CUAD praised the October 7 Massacre as "Sinwar's crowning achievement" because the "Al-Aqsa Flood was the very essence of 
what it is to resist "with what we have.""

"The act of Palestinian resistance on October 7, known as the Al-Aqsa Flood, breached Israeli security and made significant 
military advances. [This is] a day that will go down in history."

Besides Sinwar, the arch-terrorists of Hamas and Hezbollah are the icons of CUAD, with the group mourning the death of Hamas 
leader Ismail Haniyeh.

CUAD documents regularly quote PFLP founder George Habash and deceased Hezbollah secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah, such as in a 
November 21 Substack post in which they praised the concept of 'martyrdom" as something only seen as negative by those who had 
"separated resistance from the path to liberation."

PFLP spokesperson Ghassan Kanafani is a favorite of the group, with his writings featured in events like those depicted in a 
November 6 Instagram post. Local terrorists are also praised, with convicted murderer and Black Liberation Army member Assata 
Shakur's poetry chanted by students in a September 28 social media video.

Terrorism as an option of action is not just a theoretical exercise for activists in the US, in CUAD's belief system.

In a June 20 Instagram post, CUAD came out in support of Casey Goonan, who allegedly engaged in an arson spree of a University of 
California, Berkeley Police Department vehicle, a construction site, a brush area near a library, and another building. CUAD 
viewed it as a "rational action of targeting state infrastructure" in response to US support for Israel's military operations in 
Gaza.

"CUAD stands in full support of Casey Goonan and all of our comrades who have bravely undertaken the call to escalate for 
Palestine," said the coalition.

"The fires on UC campuses have been in direct response to the university's violent police repression of their own students. The 
spark ignited on US campuses during the intifada of the last few months cannot be quelled, and further repression will only 
continue to transform these sparks into flames."

CUAD denounced those who attacked Goonan's tactics as ineffective or unwise, saying that they had clear "ethical content."

The review of PFLP literature to understand terrorism was not an isolated incident, with Substack posts detailing their study of 
terrorist materials, including a November article about how PFLP and Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine operations 
led a student to say they "highlighted the importance of celebrating resistance as a source of inspiration."

The October 17 article described how they read Mao Zedong's On Guerrilla Warfare to analyze and glean "lessons" from the October 
7 massacre. On February 8, CUAD drew outrage for holding an event at the People's Forum to learn "the methods employed to sustain 
the revolution" from the First Intifada.

Most recently, before Khalil's arrest, dozens of keffiyeh-clad activists entered Barnard's Milbank Hall, leaving the hallways 
graffitied after the occupation ended. The group demanded amnesty for disciplined students and negotiations for their main 
demands, threatening to continue the occupation and disruption until the administration caved.

Khalil's arrest is not a matter of free speech; it is a matter of how the US will continue to respond to the campus production of 
a fifth column that seeks violent revolution within its territory.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike 
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into 
three distinct phases or stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, 
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting 
solely of hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything 
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something 
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received 
positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was 
a punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles 
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people 
in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
