‘Insurrection’ Sensationalism Suddenly Stops With Pro-Hamas Capitol Protesters

Yet another attempt to downplay the Insurrection.

Get back to us the next time a large group violently tries to stop the peaceful transfer of American presidential power based on a lie.

We’ve already reminded you of Florida 2000.
 
‘Insurrection’ Sensationalism Suddenly Stops With Pro-Hamas Capitol Protesters
Newsweek perpetuates the media’s blatant double standard.
16 Oct 2023 ~~ By Hudson Crozier

The establishment media have swooped in to defend pro-Palestinian protesters with an embarrassing double standard: Only Republicans are capable of an “insurrection.”

Over 300 anti-Israel demonstrators were arrested last week after swarming a congressional building to demand a cease-fire between Israel and Gaza. They chanted, blew a horn, fought police officers, and generally made fools of themselves, all in response to the now-debunked claim that Israel bombed a Gaza hospital.
This activity will be quickly excused and forgotten about, just like every other leftist tantrum at the U.S. Capitol since Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings. Yet we have been told for over two and a half years that the right-wing protest at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was one of the darkest events in American history.
Why is that?
Newsweek is here to explain, though not in the way it means to.
“No, the pro-Palestinian Protest on Capitol Hill Was Not an ‘Insurrection,’” the outlet’s headline argued. Its article responded to “some Republicans” who used the Left’s favorite term for the Jan. 6 protest.
“The Merriam-Webster dictionary states that the legal definition of an insurrection is ‘the act or an instance of revolting especially violently against civil or political authority or against an established government,’” Newsweek lectured.
Among the hundreds of Donald Trump supporters who protested at the Capitol, only a handful violently broke in and caused the House and Senate to evacuate. Most arrived well after the disruption, and police are seen on video escorting and inviting them inside on the condition that they demonstrate peacefully. But every last selfie-taker or harmless grandma in the crowd was as evil as the rest of the “hundreds” who “broke into Congress,” according to Newsweek’s past coverage. Everything, down to alleged misdemeanors, constituted an “insurrection.”
Conservatives then labeled pro-Palestinian protesters “insurrectionists” based on the media’s loose definition. Newsweek says this is wrong because “the demonstrators did not break into the building, did not claim to want to interfere in a government proceeding, and did not destroy government property or threaten politicians.” Ironically, the outlet just explained why a great deal, if not most, of the Jan. 6 protesters were also not insurrectionists.
The Associated Press showed us the same goalpost-switching when transgender activists disrupted official proceedings at state capitols in April. When Trump supporters protested in Washington, the AP’s idea of an insurrection was as broad as possible: “an act or instance of revolting against civil authorities or an established government.” In response to the transgender mob, the AP conveniently raised the bar: The protesters were off the hook because there wasn’t “a coordinated attempt to overthrow government.”
Journalists know that words matter. That’s why they use a loaded term that makes it easier for society to demonize right-wingers as treasonous terrorists. It’s a weapon of psychological warfare. And as using it on last week’s Capitol invaders would be friendly fire, it remains noticeably absent from all mainstream coverage.


Commentary:
Kudos to Mr. Crozier the article deserves reading and will undoubtedly receive a ;ot of negative attention from our Progressive Democrat Socialists of America (ala CPUSA).
The fact is that it just wasn't the "AP", but regular Leftist news rags and Quisling Media that denied the facts and keep changing the goal posts.
You can plainly see that in how they are now protecting the universities using anti-semetic protests and justifying the Hamas savage attack on Israel in massacres that killed at least 1000 women and children and abducting the 200.

Israel is entirely an illegal country of European immigrants who violated immigration quotas, smuggled in weapons, blew up the King David hotel to make the British peace keepers leave, and gunned down Folke Bernadotte, the UN Moderator.
Why?
So that no one could stop them from massacring hundreds of Arab villages like Deir Yassin.

So supporting Israel is criminal.
Israel of 7 million has stolen 85% of Palestine, forcing the 13 million native Arabs to barely survive on 15% of Palestine.
So then clearly Hamas is right and was justified in their action.
The problem is entirely Israel.
And the US is guilty of aiding the crimes by Israel.
 
I'm an insurrectionist Democrat. Most Democrats are just nice regular people (Republicans too).
I'm a radical, have been since my SDS membership. Teach me new tricks.

Me too.
I not only was SDS, but hung around with the Weathermen a little.
People these days do not seem to care anymore.
We killed half a million with Desert Storm, Shock and Awe, etc., and no one demonstrates anymore.

There was a draft during the Vietnam war.
 
Absolutely correct
White, working, tax paying citizens cannot protest but 6th century foreign darkies can.

That is not only wrong because it is misinformed and racist, but the fact is the US is guilty of the murder and theft of Palestine in order to make Israel.
Islam was 6 centuries after Christianity, so is more modern than Christianity and vastly more civilized than the Old Testament.
Christianity is guilty of the crusades, inquisitions, and pogroms.
Islam was just about local autonomy and throwing off colonial invaders, like the Romans at Constantinople.
 
There was a draft during the Vietnam war.

I see your point, in that many who protested Vietnam may have done it for selfish reasons?
But I was 2S deferment, so was not at risk of being drafted.

It is strange because as much as I dislike the draft, it was more egalitarian and then forced people to be against bad wars.
Too bad the draft protestors during WWI failed.
That was the worst war ever.

All wars are bad.
 
Launching a massive murder raid into Israel is more in line with modern Islam, Middle Age crusades, and Biblical peoples.

Israel won in 1948, and the consequences of that will not change.

If in doubt, refer to the above.

Normal peolle understand right away that it iss because they weren't trying to overthrow democracy.

Mentally handicapped people need help understanding.
 
Two things are guaranteed.

The sheeple will continue to portray Jan 6 for what it wasn't and act as if the original propaganda about Israel bombing the hospital was actually true.

It's what they have been trained to do.

The bombing of hospitals and churches by Israel not only is true, but independent journalists have all shown us video of the massive destruction by indiscriminate Israeli attacks on hospitals, churches, UN shelters, etc.
They are deliberately leveling thousands of multi story buildings, without any regard for the population.
 
The fact is that Hamas launched a massive murder raid into Israel and is now and will continue to pay the ultimate price for it.

Israel won in 1948, and the consequences of that will not change.

If in doubt, refer to the above.

Since Israel illegally evicted and confiscated not just Arab homes on the Israeli side of the UN partition, but 85% of all of Palestine, then this attack was more than warranted.
Since Israel holds over 10,000 Arab hostages, the only way to free them was to take Israelis hostage in exchange.

Israel did not "win" in 1948 because the Ottoman, British, and UN, never allowed the Palestinian natives to ever have armed or military training.
The Israelis are cheaters and liars who illegally exceeded the immigration quotas by over a factor of 10, and illegally massacred hundreds of unarmed Arab villages with illegally smuggled weapons the US gave them.
The Zionists were illegally given hundreds of tanks, dozens of B-17 bomber, over 100 P-51 Mustang fighters, machineguns, etc., while the Arabs has a few pistols and rifles from WWI.
 
The fact is that Hamas launched a massive murder raid into Israel and is now and will continue to pay the ultimate price for it.

Wrong.
If it has been a "murder raid", then they would just have killed and left.
Obviously the goal instead was hostages in order to trade for the 10,000 illegally incarcerated Arabs that Israel hold and has always been illegally holding.

Again, look at the maps and it is impossible not to realize Israel is the criminal who started all this deliberately.
They started planning it in 1892, and lied continually.

NO one is entirely right about where the blame rests. The leaders of both groups and their actions require a closer look.
