NEW YORK, May 2, 2024 /Christian Newswire/ -- The following is submitted by Bill Donohue, President, Catholic League: 

As encyclopedia.com explains, "Willingness to die for a religious or political cause has long been recognized as a key measure of an activist's commitment." Accordingly, the Pro-Hamas protesters should be prepared to die. Instead, they object to being arrested.

Student protesters and outside agitators like to hold signs that read, "Final Solution." They display swastikas. They shout, "We Are Hamas." They proclaim, "Intifada Revolution."

But real men and women don't engage in revolutionary protests and then demand amnesty. They don't demand that their arrest record be expunged. They don't hide under blankets when speaking to the press. They don't object if their picture is taken. They don't mind it if they are outed on social media. They don't insist on being given "chicken nuggets and applesauce" when they barricade themselves inside school buildings. And they sure don't wear masks and keffiyehs hiding their face.

The pro-Hamas protesters have much in common with the Ku Klux Klan. Both hate Jews and both wear masks while demonstrating. While some Klansmen wore masks in the 19th century, it wasn't until the turn of the century that they became commonplace. In response, states like New York passed laws banning protesters like the KKK from wearing them. This law is still on the books, but the cops are not allowed to enforce it, much to the applause of the Jew haters.

Masks have nothing to do with protecting against Covid (they don't even do that well). In 2011, well before Covid, Occupy Wall Street thugs wore them and less than a decade later Antifa terrorists did the same. Now it has gotten so crazy that at a tent site at the University of Michigan, the pro-Hamas crazies are being given masks upon entry. So brave.

Marx wanted a revolution and advocated violence—he said it was necessary to overthrow capitalism. But since the working class today is uniformly anti-Marxist (they love Trump), the cause of totalitarianism falls to Black Lives Matter, Antifa and Pro-Hamas crusaders. Unlike what Marx envisioned, they want to promote violence without being subjected to it. This is not manly.

One reason why this is not a manly exercise has to do with the overwhelming number of women who have joined these causes. What we are witnessing is the feminization of revolutionaries; the men have been castrated by their cowardly female counterparts. That's why they love masks.

Real revolutionaries know they have to have some skin in the game. Indeed, they have to commit to dying for their cause. But today's brand of revolutionaries can't be taken seriously: they are more worried about having an arrest record and how it may hurt their career than in making the ultimate sacrifice. And they sure don't want to give up their Apple phones and computers, even though Israel has been making them since 1985.

They want "revolution lite." Only brats think that way.
