[Armistead]

I could be wrong and I'm sure some protesters care about the loss of civilian life, but I think the far left's last decade embracement of Islam is because both are anti-West. Europe may be different with its mass migration of Muslims from the ME and Africa. It seems easy to prove when you look at all the Islamic civil wars going on. In Syria and Yemen alone close to a million dead, mostly civilians, including 50,000 children. Not one major protest of all these children dying because it's Muslim killing Muslim and doesn't fit the anti West narrative. Virtually all the ME stays in civil war and I get the West has played a role in making a mess out of it, but who knows, the outcome may have been worse. More recent, Turkey vs Kurds, 50 Islamic groups fighting in Syria; Lebanon divided rule; radicals trying to overthrow the Pakistani govt; recent ISIS rampage; Jordan's battle with the Muslim Brotherhood; Saudis vs Iran back extremist in Yemen; Taliban back to executing 1000's; the Palestinians themselves went at it and divided in rule between Hamas and Fatah; Islamic violence up 50% in Africa with a mass of Islamic groups fighting each other and everyone else for rule. If Israel walked out and gave up all the land in a matter of months it would be another Islamic civil war for rule. Where are the protest for all loss and destruction in these Islamic civil wars if people care about children? Hamas declared a permanent war against Israel until it's totally destroyed and what do these protesters do, join in chanting "from the river to the sea", promoting another genocide of the Jews. Strange bedfellows with the left that embraces Islam/Hamas when Islam is virtually against anything the woke left believes in, so it must just be if you're the enemy of my enemy, you become my friend.
