As in the previous red fear, the Democrats laid the basis for the current depth.
Censorship of radical voices is an old story that has become much more terrible – and the current one is using Detention of immigration agents on March 8 Mahmoud KhalilaFormer student activist and permanent resident of the United States, who was in the forefront of protests at the Colombian University against Israeli press. In a statement in Free press As for the case, the Trump administration official said: “The charge is not that he violates the law.” Rather, the official sequel, the activity khali was the “mobilization of Hamas support”, except that it is anti -Semite, and “therefore (therefore) contradicts the US interests”, this statement is both false and legally horrified. There is absolutely no evidence that Khalil is about-Homas or anti-Semitic. But even more anxious that the Trump administration claims that the right to deport any green map owner, which he denotes a supporter of a terrorist based only in speech.
The Khalil’s deportation threatens is just the most striking example of a broader rampage for free speech. The University of Colombia, which threatens the Trump administration with a loss of $ 400 million, decided not to resist, but rather to become an impatient maid of repression: Many other Colombia students were suspended, expelled or deprived of their degrees. University now Pursing to their foreign students do not bloom about gas or Ukraine.

Writing in The New York Timesbrowser Michel Goldberg argued“The closest analogue to this unfortunate moment is the red frightening of the late 1940s and 1950s, when a wide fear of communist infiltration is properly exploited for the purification of the left of state and cultural institutions.” Goldberg could equally lead the first red fear, which took place from 1917 to 1920 and saw great radical leaders – in particular the leader of the Socialist Party Eugene Debs and anarchist Fire Emma Goldman –prisoner and, In the case of Goldman deported.
The red fruitful analogy of Goldberg is exactly ideological, blaming political cleaning on the right trolodet as Senator Joseph Makartky. In truth, both red breakdowns were melted by the Liberal Democrats-Envated Wilson during the First World War and Harry Truman during the Cold War-War, the rise of Makartism in the 1940s and the 50’s showed how easily the hysteria could be abducted by anti-liberal republicans. In both cases, the liberal hugs of militarism opened the reaction policy of the left reaction policy.
In 1971 a journalist Murray Kempton reviewed The convincing conclusions of the historian Atana Theochoris concluded that “McCartism was only a phonyism that was transferred to his logical conclusion.” It was also a long -conceived opinion A dissident journalist rises when a stoneBlack list itself during the second red fear. Historian Harry Wils noted that there were several motives for inciting panic over communist sabotage. In 1947, Senator Arthur Wandenberg said Truman that the only way to convince Americans to send foreign assistance to Greece “Push hell out of the country.” Next year, running for re-election, the Truman had to make a flight of the progressive candidacy of the former Vice President Henry Wallas, who led the anti-war platform on the platform.

Current Issue
Feeling Camped, you can say that caseism is only a bidenism that leads to its logical conclusion. Joe Biden was largely the heir to the militaristic liberalism of Wilson and the Truman, especially visible in his efforts to revive the Cyainia’s military City War. After Hamas’s attack of October 7, 2023 Biden, A lifetime fanatic zionistHe accepted the policy of almost unconditional support for Israel’s military efforts. It continued even when Israel was rolled over on gas the most intensive murder of civilians in the 21st century. When mass protests began against his policies, Biden repeatedly condemned the activists as cruel and anti -SemiteAnswering that he did not imagine the movement.
Biden’s pro-Palestinian activists will slander Biden Pra-Palestinian activists to sell the Democratic Coalition during the 2024 elections, giving Trump a powerful wedge. After the election of Trump, there was a wide reason to attack the pro -Plestine activists, well aware that the Democratic Party leaders, such as Senator Chume Sumer, respond not to the full defense of freedom of speech, but with the marty.
Shumer statement When detained, Khalil – delayed after a significant delay – opened with the declaration of his disdain for “Khalil’s policy and opinion”, revised Canard anti -Semitism and completed the unfortunate legalistic demur on “Trump’s stolen action”. Even after Trump denied Colombia’s funding based on anti -Semitism, Shumer agreed that “colleges had to do something, and many did not do enough.”
Unlike two red fears, these modern repressions are not fueled by widespread political consensus. Recent Gallup survey They showed that only 46 percent of Americans sympathize with Israelis than the Palestinians. Among the Democrats, only 21 percent are more sympathetic to Israelis, and 59 percent more sympathetic to the Palestinians. In other words, the Democrats have a wide political room to combat the latest Makartism. Unfortunately, the biden and the party’s biden are too much being subjected to liberal militarism and defenseless Zionism to be something more than a pretentious Trump accomplice.
