Why the Left Hates Israel and America - Part 2.

Why the Left Hates Israel and America

"...In 2020, when the country was torn apart with riots after the death of George Floyd, my organization did a campaign posting billboards in low-income neighborhoods promoting the "success sequence."

The "success sequence," based on policy research in Washington, points to the personal behavior that leads to the best chances of avoiding poverty and moving from low-income status to middle class...

When we posted billboards with this message that this is the way to avoid poverty, Black Lives Matter went to the billboard company and demanded they take them down.
What about our message so offended Black Lives Matter?

• They reject, along with all those on the left, values that rest on personal responsibility. 
• They embrace only a culture of victimhood and blame.

In this worldview, the only explanation for achievement is exploitation.

• This is their explanation for the success of Israelis, who built, from nothing, a modern country with per capita GDP higher than most European countries. 
• And this is their explanation for those who have achieved success and wealth in our own country...

Our shared values with Israel go beyond democracy. 

They are about the most basic ingredient of a free society. 

Personal responsibility. 

This is the value that the left so deeply hates.
