The barbaric attack on Israeli civilians over the weekend by Hamas terrorists has left people wondering, as we often do after mass tragedies: How did no one see this coming? As a surprisingly sophisticated, coordinated surprise attack left nearly 1,000 people dead and countless more innocents wounded or kidnapped, anyone can recognize the massive intelligence failure without calling into question who is morally culpable for the invasion.
The universal line from the Biden administration is that "Domestic terrorism" and its aliases - all of which are used as code for political right-wingers - are the No. 1 threat to national security.
The letter smeared those parents as domestic terror threats and urged the Department of Justice to wield counterterrorism laws against them, and Garland happily acted on the suggestion.
A few months later, the politicized Department of Justice announced a new "Domestic terrorism unit" to deal with "An elevated threat from domestic violence extremists," including "Those who ascribe to extremist anti-government and anti-authority ideologies."
In June 2021, the Biden administration released a "National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism." It proposed to "Counter domestic terrorism by addressing underlying racism and bigotry" - and they weren't talking about the racism that led Hamas militants to slaughter Israeli civilians this past weekend and has driven violence against Israel in the region for decades.
It's not just domestic intel agencies being wielded against Americans; the CIA did its part to help Twitter censor speech, and even solicited signatures to help falsely smear damaging reporting about the Biden family as disinformation ahead of the 2020 election.
Imagine if those resources were redirected away from targeting ordinary, law-abiding Americans for their political views and aimed at stopping actual terrorists who seek to harm us and our allies.
