Does she not have anybody on her staff who might be inclined to advise her against this?
On Wednesday Vice President Kamala Harris had a big new announcement.
A new strategy to counter “hate” in America.
Kamala may not be able to fix the southern border crisis.
Or anything much.
But she does plan to eradicate “hate.”
After her success in this effort I’m sure we can look forward to her getting rid of other human evils next.
Perhaps she could move on to “envy” or “gluttony”?
Who knows?
In any case the Veep had a very specific form of hatred she said she wants to fight.
And that is the thing called “Islamphobia.”
Personally I do not care for this word. It has always seemed to me to be — as my late friend Christopher Hitchens put it — a word “a word created by fascists, and used by cowards, to manipulate morons.”
He must have seen Kamala coming.
Because on Wednesday Harris announced that the Biden–Harris administration were planning to leap into action and present a new “National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia.”
You might have thought that it is Jews who most need a strategy right now to counter Jew-hatred.
But no, despite the fact that the figures are in.
As FBI Director Christopher Wray said at a Senate hearing this week on hate crimes against Jews, “The reality is that the Jewish community is uniquely targeted by pretty much every terrorist organization across the spectrum. And when you look at a group that makes up 2.4%, roughly, of the American population, it should be jarring to everyone that that same population accounts for something like 60% of all religious-based hate crimes, and so they need our help.”
That’s quite a stat that: 2.4% of the population, but 60% of the victims of hate-crimes.
But Kamala doesn’t seem to know this figure, or doesn’t know what to do about it, and so on a video posted to X this week she said “For years, Muslims in America and those perceived to be Muslim have endured a disproportionate number of hate fueled attacks. As a result of the Hamas terrorist attack in Israel and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, we have seen an uptick in anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab, antisemitic and Islamophobic incidents across America.”
Of course if there is any such thing as “Islamophobia” it has a very straightforward explanation.
“Islamophobia” is the expression of distaste many people feel about the murderous behavior of radical Muslims.
It behooves us to stay on top of any new information that appears regarding just how this disgusting move was originally cooked up.
