"We're not in favor, per se, of undocumented migrants killing... but for Palestinians... we call that justice."
New York, April 22 - Left-wing activists and politicians who favor accommodating the millions of undocumented and unauthorized people who entered the US over the last several years, and whose presence has sparked concerns of preventable violence by some of that cohort, voiced some reluctance this week about linking the plight of those migrants , threatened with deportation, to another flagship cause of the Left, upholding the resentments and irredentism of the descendants of a different group of migrants who, seeking a better life in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, flocked into the Ottoman-ruled, then British-ruled, territory of Palestine, and proceeded to attempt to wipe out the returning Jewish population whose economic development had attracted those migrants in the first place, and still, a century later, nurture the dream of attempting the massacres and dispossession again, sources in left-wing politics disclosed today.
