"Here’s the reality: the Palestinians have elected terrorists to lead their government in every election in which they have participated, and those terrorist governments have eschewed peace and infrastructure building in favor of pursuing terrorism. Here’s another reality: I opposed President Trump’s Muslim ban when he proposed it as such, I’ve spoken out
against discrimination against Muslims on the basis of religion (I, after all, wear a funny hat for religious reasons), I’ve spoken out
against attempts to use the Koran as an excuse to label all Muslims terrorists (I
do encourage people to assess the expressed political viewpoints of Muslims themselves, since all religions contain root texts that are troublesome on their face, and I care much more about what people actually
believe).
Like everyone else in public life, I’ve written stuff I regret — and I’ve attempted to apologize and explain why I was wrong when I see it (see, for example,
here and
here). But the goal here for the Left is always to take things out of context, deliberately and dishonestly. By digging up one tweet out of a long tweetstorm nearly a decade ago, the Left hopes to rule out those who disagree on fundamental political issues. That’s nasty. But I’d expect nothing less. That’s why people don’t trust the Left to play gatekeeper, and it’s why they don’t trust the mainstream media to cover the whole story. It’s why the IDW exists in the first place."
