A few days ago I thought, what the hey, I'll try to post a comment for old time's sake on Jihad Watch. So I created a new account with a burner gmail and lodged a comment critical of Hugh Fitzgerald's recent scathing attack on Roger Waters. My comment was measured, not angry nor containing any abusive language or cuss words -- in short, nothing that would justify censoring it, other than to the brittle sensibilities of Messrs. Fitzgerald, Spencer, and their Jewish gatekeeper-cum-tech guy, Marc. I merely pointed out that while Waters does retain those Leftist spasms of anti-Israel sentiment as well as support for the "Trans" movement, he nevertheless is an exceedingly rare Leftist (let alone famous and influential Leftist) in that he bucks the prevailing trend to support the medical fascism of Covid and the screamingly corrupt proxy war in Ukraine. I added that it's arguable that those two issues weigh more than the other two issues in terms of what imperils the West the most. And it's not just a matter of weighing those 4 issues against each other: The mere fact that he goes against the prevailing grain of the Leftist-dominated Mainstream throughout the West on anything major at all is itself added ballast to his merit. In this light, he doesn't deserve the scathing dressing-down Hugh subjected him to -- ironically in the portion of Jihad Watch called "The Left Column" devoted to issues of the pernicious Left. Clearly, to Fitzgerald & Spencer, Israel weighs that much. As one who has read much of Fitzgerald's output over the years, that reflects a decided pattern in his preoccupation over Jihad. Probably over 50% of his posts have been about Israel. One wonders if "Fitzgerald" is his real name...
And, of course, every comment (all 14 of them -- you'd think Robert and Marc would want to relax their throttle on free speech there, to help the site grow a little) was spit-polishing Fitzgerald's shoes.
