The protests against Israel around the world purport to be demanding a ceasefire, but that is not their real agenda. The not-so-hidden agenda is a demand for the end of Israel and support for Hamas. The protests began the day after the Hamas massacres of 1,200 Israelis and the kidnapping of more than 200.

The early protests supported the massacres and called for the Mideast to be “free” and “clean” of the Jews who live in Israel proper. Those protests against Israel began before the Israeli army responded to the Hamas atrocities and so they were not motivated by any concern for Palestinian civilians. They supported the murder of Israeli civilians.

Now that Israel is responding, there are new signs and chants demanding a ceasefire that would benefit Hamas. But every single demonstration I have seen also features signs calling for the end of Israel as a genocidal, apartheid, colonialist state. Demonstrators also tear down posters with the pictures and names of Israeli children who were kidnapped by Hamas and are being held as hostages. That, too, is not about helping Palestinian civilians.

[Can we even call it a hidden agenda any longer? The only hidden part of the agenda now is that these rallies don’t just call for the end of Israel, but also the slaughter of Jews everywhere. That seems especially true in Woke America, where Farrakhanism has melded with the militant Marxists into Black Lives Matter and other such organizations. — Ed]
