Post October 7th, those who weren't already aware, also saw the mask of the Hard-Left Liebour slip away completely. The celebrations following the butchery, perpetrated with glee, of innocent people, the mass rapes, torture, kidnapping of children and babies, murder of civilians using shovels and other unspeakable atrocities, all high-fived by the Left in the UK revealed them for what they truly are.
It came as no surprise to many, that the Hard-Left patted the backs of one of the most despotic Hard-Right regimes currently on the planet - Hamas.
Hamas, active promoters of some of the worse examples of misogyny (just like their Iranian paymasters), gross homophobia, vile racism, ethno-centrism, and an atavistic totalitarian theocracy which murders political opponents by the score and thinks nothing of martyring their own people and foot-soldiers (but never the Hamas elite - funny that). I've often wondered which of those practices of Hamas the hard-left appreciate most of all. Or is it just that they too hate Jewish people with such venom and also for their temerity of being successful - as a race. The oldest prejudice and the deepest it seems.
Maybe it's Hamas' psychopathic desire to over-throw the only open liberal democracy in the middle-east, no doubt as a precursor to those others in the West that the Hard-Left welcome so enthusiastically. We know democracy is an anathema to the Hard-Left as the 'stupid people' keep refusing to vote for them voting in whenever they're given freedom of choice. Or to be fair, Hamas was indeed voted in - one man - one vote - one time!
We didn't of course have to wait until October 7th to see the real underlying motives of the Hard -Left. If we'd listened to George Orwell, among many, who had already witnessed the abject misery of so many failed socialist dystopias (USSR, China, Khymer Rouge in Cambodia, Venezuela, etc.).
Hard Left/Islamo-Nazi - two sides of the same grievance/envy minted coin.
“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”
