KNOW YOUR ENEMY — AND YOUR ALLY: Reader Gloria Chase writes:

This is a page of pictures from the lame UC Berkeley pro-Palestine rally. If you go down to the bottom you’ll see a group called QUIT: Queers Undermining Israeli Terrorism. Then check below in the comments area. A fellow named Sallah has written: “As a Palestinian, I must protest the inclusion of a homosexual group in this afternoon’s rally. Gay people have no place in society, whether in Palestine or in the US.”

The Left sure is mixed up these days.

Isn’t it, though? Salah’s response to some critical comments is this: “We are fighting for self-determination. That means that we wish to live according to our own societal values, not your Western ones. You are a cultural imperialist. I appreciate your concern for our struggle, but WE will decide for ourselves.” That reminds me of this quote, from some French Communist or other (this is from memory): “When you are in power, you give me freedom because that is according to your principles. When I am in power, I will take away your freedom, because that is according to my principles.”
