Pro-Hamas Insurrection on Capitol Hill. Will The ‘O18’ Committee Start Hearings?
Video from today on Capitol Hill — sure looks like an “insurrection” to me (if you accept that J6 fit that definition, which I absolutely, positively do not) and I am left to wonder, in all good faith, when will the “O18” “Threat To Our Democracy” Committee will commence hearings on this “attempt to take over “Our Democracy” by force”? Anyone, anyone?
This is a 15-minute video taken by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, which shows the true madness of what is happening on Capitol Hill this very day.

Another view of this dangerous mob of Hate Israel First, Love Hamas Forever “peaceful” protesters trying to destroy one of the great monuments of “Our Democracy”:

Is it almost downright surreal how similar the scenes are to January 6, except that the flags and banners are not the beautiful colors of Red, White, and Blue but seem to be a sea of black, most fitting as it represents the mourning caused by some of the most bloodthirsty animals on the face of the earth.
But they are so peaceful as they “protest” in favor of butchers who decapitate little infants.

Rep. Mary Miller sums it up:

@RepMaryMiller
INSURRECTIONISTS are storming the Capitol in support of Hamas. They are interrupting official government proceedings. Will there be federal charges? Solitary confinement? Will FBI raid their homes? WHO PAID for their buses, signs & t-shirts? I’ll join
@RepMTG
to get answers!This is detestable, despicable, and evil. Just as disgusting is the fact that we all know tomorrow will be just another day in the Potemkin Village we currently call “our government” as if none of this ever happened. No arrests, no indictments, no solitary confinement, no SWAT team invasions of homes and families, no official action or even statements, a/k/a blather, by any official who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.

Wonder when people on our side will post angry responses about it?
And nobody getting shot. Amazingly.
That’s (D)ifferent.
Do sarcastic responses count? If so, I just did. Also, I actually almost started writing a note to our famous TV personality and star of stage and screen and camera, etc., Matt Gaetz, but then I decided I had collected all the form letters from him that I needed to see and as I was told by one of his staff members he did not as a matter of policy return constituents’ phone calls I didn’t even try that approach. Welcome to our Democratic Republic! Something has gone terribly wrong since the geniuses known as our Founding Fathers roamed the land.
I suspect they would look at members of the Congress they created like Gaetz and the current total standstill in conducting the business of the Congress now locking up Congress and……….. cry.
Time to rethink American immigration policy.
It’s obvious the Demoncrats invited them in .
And education policy.
They’re not all imports.
Long past time.
Now let us conclude the matter: “pull up the drawbridges, close the borders, absolute moratorium on all immigration for at least 10 years. Then after that, maybe we’ll consider letting in a few.”
You keep importing these kinds of crazies, eventually the Jew-hating gets ratcheted up enough and a majority of politicians will start pandering to it.
This one?

Looking for Ricochet Editors
That is a classic rebuttal. Got to figure out how to make a custom “circle D” character.
As Zafar shows, these are Jewish groups. They and their supporters on Twitter are quick to point out that they are Jews and not Zionists. Whatever distinction that is supposed to be.
Point is there is diversity in opinion and that not all supporters of a cease fire are out to kill Jews. That not all supporters of a cease fire are scary immigrants.
You can disagree with them without pretending they’re someone else. Why not?
You may not know this, but some of the biggest supporters of Palestinians and Hamas are secular Jews. This does not absolve them from the most severe criticism possible for being supporters of some of the worst terrorists in the world. I don’t see them as being any different than the Palestinians who support Hamas. They don’t get any extra credit for being born Jewish. Conservatives don’t judge people by the color of their skin or by their ethnicity or nationality. We judge them based on their behavior.
Thank you- well said.
No matter what, supporters of a cease-fire in Gaza are in support of letting mass-murdering terrorists go free and in support of letting them regroup so they can plan their next heinous attack against innocent women and children. It is despicable. They may not necessarily consciously support such specifics, but if not, they proffer their support out of sheer stupidity and naivete. Can you image if there was a cry for a cease-fire in Germany during World War II so that Hitler could regroup and continue exterminating entire races of people? That would have been unthinkable to any civilized person.
They might be ethnic Jews but not religious Jews. and many of the ethnic-only variety especially don’t think there needs to be a homeland. Hence, not Zionists.
I was wrong and thus transfer my comment to Dearborn, MI and other assorted protest sites in the US
Is Adam Kinzinger crying?
This is the typical progressive scenario. These protesters planned to be arrested for the badge of courage and the publicity. They were showing off, LARPing. They are the type to throw a molotov cocktail as a symbol, not an act of arson. They are typically deluded left-wing idiots.
And they will be processed and out by nightfall, according to the supinated police force.
Assigning someone an ethnic or religious identity because of their opinions?
You can try and make the case with cited examples and links, but in this case it was Conservatives who did that and swallowed it whole with a certain gullibility.
I am not saying that Dotorimuk did it with the intent to deceive, but why did he feel that what he ‘felt’ was obviously the truth and why did the rest of you feel that you could accept it without question?
Demanding that Jews not fight back when attacked is to support killing Jews.
I’m still trying to figure out what Dotorimuk said that was wrong. We are importing crazies who hate Jews, and it ramps up the Jew hatred in this country, and politicians are starting to pander to it, like “The Squad.” What did I miss?
David French will declare (like Drag Queen Story Hour) is this an expression of Democracy.
Mostly about Ron DeSantis.
^ And it is glorious! ^
Oh, that happens to me all the time.
That is standard procedure for people on the Left.
I mean, people are like “You’re so white!”
And even my wife will frequently say “You’re such a boy!”
Don’t pay any attention. All women do that………..
