Hiding Behind Masks: Nazis, KKK & Hamas

A mob of pro-Hamas protestors (we need to start calling them for what they are, not hiding behind euphemisms like anti-Israel or pro-Palestinian) is wearing masks, keffiyehs, balaclavas or sunglasses as they attack NY subways and in their homes. They single out Jews, saying “Zionists: This is Your Chance to Get Out.”

Using red paint, they leave a red triangle symbol to denote targets marked for death. At the site of an exhibit to honor the hundreds slain and kidnapped at the Nova Music Festival in Israel on October 7, anti-semitic protestors slung hatred for Jews. One video making the rounds of X shows a black man screaming at the crowd, saying, “I wish Hitler were still here. He would have wiped all you out.”

Mark Treyger, head of the Jewish Community Relations Council, called for the return of New York’s two-centuries old anti-mask law — repealed during the pandemic so tyrannical leaders like Gov. Mario Cuomo could instill fear in normally brash New Yorkers. “We are experiencing and seeing the Nazi playbook come to life in 2024,” he said. Matthew Schweber, a lawyer with the Columbia University Jewish Alumni Association, said today’s mobs are the “modern manifestation of the Ku Klux Klan,” whose members hid behind white sheets covering all but their eyes.

It was bad enough the world was forced to wear masks during the pandemic. And useless. Last week COVID Czar Anthony Fauci acknowledged there was no scientific basis for requiring people — especially children — to wear masks. In congressional testimony, he also admitted that the pandemic’s six-foot distancing was an artifice.

And it was worse when the pandemic rules were thrown out so Black Live Matters protestors could gather in great numbers for civil protest even as churches were closed, ushering in a new era of two-tiered justice, now in full swing.

But to allow civil unrest to fester, behind masks and without punishment, is to sanction Jew hatred, much as Hitler did, and black hatred, as the KKK did.

The pro-Hamas group behind many of these protests is Within Our Lifetime, which offers a “rally toolkit” with a poster of Hamas murderers dancing on top of a burnt IDF tank during the massacre. God knows what Hamas protestors covered their faces with when they displayed a banner in Union Square reading, “Long Live October 7.”
