“The uprising of October 7th was an act of armed resistance. It is not a terrorist attack and it’s not an antisemitic attack.”
Judith Butler, a radical leftist academic who described Hamas as “progressive” and part of the Left, and who defended the atrocities of Oct 7 by the Islamic terrorist group, was one of the top signatories to a petition by a group of anti-Israel activists, calling themselves the ‘ In Our Name Campaign’ claiming that they are “Jews” opposed to “ethnic cleansing”.
By that they don’t mean they are by any means opposed to Oct 7, only to Trump’s plan to resettle the terrorist population of Gaza to prevent them from continuing to kill Jews and every other non-Muslim non-Arab group.
Butler’s name appears alongside a handful of celebrities Joaquin Phoenix, Boots Riley (who is not Jewish) and Wallace Shawn who recently suggested that Hitler had more “decency” than the Jewish State, along with career anti-Israel activists like Sharon Brous, a political ally of Kamala Harris, and Jill Jacobs of T’ruah.
The media and the JTA dishonestly described this as a group of “rabbis”, celebrities and artists.
None of them ever mentioned Judith Butler’s very public pro-Hamas views.
“Hamas and Hezbollah are social movements that are progressive, that are on the Left, that are part of a global Left”, Judith Butler argued.
After Oct 7, Butler doubled down on her defense of Islamic terrorism against Jews, men, women and children.
“We can have different views about Hamas as a political party; we can have different views about, um, ah, armed resistance, but I think it is more honest and historically correct to say that the uprising of October 7th was an act of armed resistance. It is not a terrorist attack and it’s not an antisemitic attack.”
“You can be for or against armed resistance, you can be for or against Hamas. But let us at least call it armed resistance,”
“This was an uprising that comes out, that comes from, a state of subjugation and against a violent state apparatus. OK. Let us be clear. You can be for or against armed resistance, you can be for or against Hamas. But let us at least call it armed resistance, and then we can have a debate about whether we think it’s right or whether they did the right thing, whether a different strategy.”
No media outlet has yet reported on Butler’s appearance as one of the leading signatories on this pro-terrorist ad which was also backed by antisemitic groups and pro-terrorist groups.
The JTA’s failure to report on the truth about the ad is another reason why you should encourage your local Jewish paper to drop content from the anti-Israel propaganda wire service.

The creature is an ugly snake. Isaiah would say to her, “Woe to those putting evil for good, bitter for sweet and darkness for light.”
It wasn’t “resistance” and she knows it. but she is an evil snake, “doing the desires of her father.”

I’m so sick of leftist, who kiss the ass of Muslims, terrorist Muslims and devout Muslims. All belong in hell with Satan. All support the killing of Jews, God’s chosen.
OLD GUY says
They Muslim/Islamic’s support the killing of everyone who disagrees with their so called religion.
They talk about the love and peace of islam, when they actually mean they love to kill you non believers for their peace and pride.

Murderous Islam is a persistent threat to Israel and ALL Non-Muslims as taught in Islam’s Quran. Allah teaches and promotes terrorism, hatred, and violence by Muslims against Jews and Christians because infidelity is a CRIME AGAINST ALLAH. Allah in Quran 5:51 says, “O you who have believed[Muslims], do not take the Jews and the Nasara(Christians) as friends. They are friends to one another. And whoever among you takes them as friends, so surely he is of them. Surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.” See also Quran 2:63-65; 4:144; 5:59-60, 82; 7:166.
Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” This murderous principle command is also described as “Command the Right, Forbid the Wrong” in Quran 3:104 and in Islamic Law Manual, “Reliance of the Traveller”, q1.0.

“Judith Butler, a radical leftist academic”
She sure fooled me. At first glance I thought it was just another crazy guy.

As a review in Unherd puts it:
“Butler is 68 years old and has never grown up. On the contrary, she has regressed to the angry adolescent stage of calling any middle-aged woman who disagrees with her a fascist.”
Edward Amos Brandwein says
Another comment from the perennial adolescent Left
Homer Bedloe says
I wait for the day when Kings and mighty men will cower in caves and beg for the rocks to hide them from the face of God.
somehistory says
I wait and pray for that day….as they will try to hide from “the **wrath** of God.”

“Hamas und Hisbollah, sind fortschrittliche soziale Bewegungen, die links sind und Teil einer globalen Linken sind.” Judith Butler
Das sagt doch alles, oder ? Links stand mal für Aufklärung, Fortschritt, für Freiheit, für Gleichberechtigung und Menschenrechte. Was ist davon übrig ? Heute riecht es bei den Linken nach Gulag, Kalifat, Despotie und Unterdrückung. Im Kern sind die BRAUN wie Scheiße mit einem rot/grünen Mäntelchen.

I makes me wonder what has happened to common sense when I witness a Western female that is Independent and has a Career, may even be a Lesbian, travels alone all over the world, says what she thinks and wears what she likes and yet supports 100% an ideology that would stop all of that lifestyle instantly as soon as they take over her country.
What islam teaches is the exact opposite of what The Left teaches so where is the common ground with them both???…. Not a trick question.
Common sense just aint common anymore.

“…may even be a Lesbian, travels alone all over the world, says what she thinks and wears what she likes and yet supports 100% an ideology that would stop all of that lifestyle instantly…”
Are you saying that, as a lesbian, this lovely lady would NOT be exalted and given a high position in a Muslim country?
Not true. She would lifted up to a very, very high place, and then… oh dear…. SPLAAAT
And you know what? Couldn’t happen to a nicer self-hating abominably evil witch. So, by all means, Judith, spend some time among your beloved people in Gaza.
