During the past week, America -- and the world -- have seen raucous and occasionally violent street demonstrations over the ongoing Israel-Palestinian war. Almost always initiated by Muslim groups along with hard Left groups, these exercises in street theatre chillingly reflect the situation on the ground in Gaza and Israel. On the one hand, Jewish groups are saying, "No More Terror -- Israel Must Survive" while -- without exception -- the Left-Muslim coalitions are saying "Save HAMAS and Destroy Israel." And when you stop to think about it, that's been the 100 year history of the conflict.

Jews want to be left alone inside a democratic state (complete with a sizable Arab population) without territorial ambitions while the Left dreams of World Revolution and the Jihadists seek to destroy or convert all infidels, especially the obdurate and more ancient Jews. Not quite a match made in heaven, but it will do for the moment (at least from the Left viewpoint).

Most of the demonstrations have been organized by the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition: Act Now to Stop War & End Racism. Founded in 1991 by the ubiquitous, perennial, bizarre Marxist-Leninist octogenarian, Ramsay Clark, former Attorney General under Lyndon Johnson, A.N.S.W.E.R., in turn, arose out of the New York based World Workers Party (WWP) founded in the late 1950's. "Red" Ramsay's group never misses a chance to rally for any and every moonbat, putative "revolutionary" cause including Iran's mullahocracy and even the North Korean, nuke-crazed robots.

Currently, A.N.S.W.E.R.'s pet Marxist-Leninist project is the destruction of Israel. Funded in part by The Ford Foundation and George Soros, this musty collection of "fringe of the fringe" leftists have found new life by allying with jihadist groups. Some of the constituent formative groups associated with A.N.S.W.E.R. are IFCO (a hard left "pastoral" organization that is funded by Sami Al Arian's Palestinian Islamic Jihad), The Muslim Students Association (MSA), an outgrowth of The Muslim Brotherhood (HAMAS affiliated) and The Korea Truth Commission (do we need to know more?).

Deceptively describing itself as an "anti-war" group to maintain its eligibility for 501 (c) 3 status as a non-profit, A.N.S.W.E.R. has taken to the streets shouting for the destruction of Israel and its Jewish population. December 30th was tagged an "International Day of Action" by the group, purportedly to "Take action to show solidarity with the Palestinian people in Gaza and to demand an immediate end to the murderous attacks carried out by the Israeli military against the people of Gaza."

ANSWER's activities in the streets, however, depart radically from their stated objective. From Boston to Anaheim to Vienna to Chile, the well-funded fanatics have been uniformly parading with chants and signs that shout:

"Palestine Shall be Free From the River to the Sea."

That fast-growing slogan means only one thing: Israel must be destroyed and the Jews must be wiped out.

Muslim American Society members in Fort Lauderdale have been caught on film shouting at Jewish counter-demonstrators: "We must build bigger ovens."

Mahdi Bray, a staunch supporter of Hezbollah and one of the leaders of the MAS [The people behind Menino's Boston Mosque. -S], is photographed marching arm in arm with a hooded HAMAS look alike.

In Boston, an ANSWER member displays a sign that reads: "Globalize the Intifada"

And in New York, a supporter proudly carries a sign that all too cleverly says: "Death to All Juice"

At least we have arrived at a certain place of clarity. The masks of the "Revolution" are off. The unalloyed Jew hatred of the hard Left is out in the open at last.

Had someone told Sam Marcy, the founder of the Worker's World Party in 1959 that the heirs to his Marxist wet dream would be genocidal woman-hating, gay-killing, religiously-crazed zombies, he probably would have succumbed to incredulity. Then again, he might be looking up from his current abode smiling with approval.
