Ramirez's cartoon below (copyright Ramirez) was published on the Washington Post web page. Then it was removed by the leftist cowards who run the WaPo after uproar by the leftist cowards who work at the WaPo. Democracy dies in darkness indeed. Ramirez penned a provocative and and true cartoon and it was removed because it contradicted the politically correct views of the WaPo staff. We hear all the time about the bias at Fox, I myself have called out the bias at MSNBC or the right-wing outrage sheet du jour, but this is worse. The Washington Post is supposed to be a reliable news source. Democracy does die in darkness, and I am thinking we are royally screwed by left wing censorship like this.
I regret the word choice "leftist" above. "Left wing cowards" would have been more precise. It is not like Che Guevarra is a copy editor at the Post.
Still, I simply can not comprehend why so many left-wingers in the US (and at the UN, as Rod points out) are against Israel and their reasonable right to self defense in the face of naked criminal terrorism. Worse, vast numbers of left wingers in the US and Europe are against Israel's very right to exist. This is as completely incomprehensible to me as anything the right wing MAGA types believe, including believing that Donald Trump can save this country.
