There is no comparison between the pro-Hamas harem and Israel’s peaceful freedom fighters

As thoroughly delightful as it has been to watch the feckless Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) troll pro-Hamas protesters crying and screaming at him throughout the grounds of the Capitol, the most telling microcosm of the civilization clash between the pro-Hamas harem and Israel‘s peaceful freedom fighters was a murder on the Amtrak express, metaphorically speaking.
Like the most famous Delaware senator before him, Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) spends a lot of time commuting between the Beltway and his home state via the Acela, and according to the video above, Coons tries to maximize the efficiency of the hours spent on Amtrak every week by sitting in the sole quiet car of the train. The conductors routinely warn that no noise louder than a whisper is allowed in the quiet car, yet in the offending video posted above, Aaron Mate thinks he looks good violating the near-holy social compact of the cult of the quiet car.

The hysterical and revealing hypocrisy of Mate trying (and failing) to score a win over the Diamond State Democrat is not just that Mate, who here is trying to position himself as some sort of humanitarian hero, has published apologia for the Chinese Communist Party’s genocide of Uyghur Muslims and Bashar Assad’s chemical warfare against Syrian civilians. The real revelation is that one side, the one that justifies the worst single-day slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust and then clutches its pearls when those Jews have the audacity to respond in kind, cannot win with the civilized exchange of ideas, while those standing up for the Jews are exemplifying the peaceful protest, reasoned rhetoric, and respect for norms that helped Western ideals win the world over.
The point is almost too clearly illustrated when one compares the more than quarter-million pro-Israel protesters who marched on Washington with the pro-Hamas demonstrations that have devolved into riots across the country. Tuesday’s pro-Israel protest, estimated by former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman to be the largest gathering of Jews since Mount Sinai, was mostly devoid of radicals encouraging racism. It was entirely devoid of violence, aggression, and destruction of private or public property. It served as a stark contrast to the pro-Palestinian rioters defacing the gates of the White House with blood-red paint and those desecrating a statue of Benjamin Franklin with a terrorist-chic keffiyeh.

You can almost always judge the merits of a movement by its methods, and the ranting, raving, rioting, and raging style of the anti-Israelites perfectly correlates with the substance of their message. After all, if the ostensible feminist, pro-LGBTQIABC+, and anti-racist ethos espoused by the Hamas harem before Oct. 7 were genuine, presumably, these activists would side with Israel instead of a country that criminalizes homosexuality and abortion and boasts one of the lowest female labor force participation rates on the planet.
There are plenty of reasonable questions to ask about the Gaza conflagration that won’t necessarily favor Israel. Who will be responsible for governing Gaza when Hamas is eradicated, and is the government under Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu best suited to oversee Israel once the next stages of this war are complete? But that’s not what Mate wants: If he actually wanted an answer from Coons, he could have asked a serious question instead of one his caucus has answered repeatedly and negatively. But of course, Mate just wanted attention for himself, a one-way sounding board in which he could sound like a hero to a senator who clearly was not going to respond. Accosting Coons in the quiet car was a feature, not a bug, of Mate’s entire method.
