I Will No Longer Keep My Peace
When the doyennes of progressive antizionism insist that
“From the river to the sea is an aspirational call for freedom,
human rights, and peaceful coexistence”,
Bernard-Henri Levy helpfully translates for the uninitiated:
“‘From the river to the sea’, which is to say, in good French,
‘Death to Jews’”
Translation in hand, the pathology currently engulfing
the progressive left is laid bare:
(Death to Jews) is an aspirational call for freedom,
human rights, and peaceful coexistence
Understand this foundational belief,
this litmus test for progressive belonging,
and the response to 10/7 and everything it forebodes
comes into focus:
Because only 1,200 of Israel’s 7 million Jews were slaughtered,
the pathological left considers the atrocities carried out by Hamas on 10/7
mostly peaceful
But should Hamas succeed in its mission of killing
another 6 or 7 million Jews,
only then will the gaze progressing leftward from the river to the sea
declare the situation in Israel
fully peaceful
