This left-wing love affair with terrorists is bizarre. Every time one dies legacy media calls the mass murderer some kind of scholar. It is so strange! What is less woke than radical islam? And yet progressives love radical islam so badly.

There are life-negating cultures that want to leave the pain of life by embracing death, and there are life-embracing cultures that want to live life despite the pain of mortality. Islam is now life negating and so too the New York Times, and for that matter the entire woke world view. L'Chiam is not a phrase well loved by the New York Times, they worship the pathetic life haters of jihadist Islam instead. Remember, Israel wants peace and they want to live in peace. Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, Iran have all endorsed the idea that they love death more than Israel loves life. That is the side the New York Times has taken: a life-negating mythology. The New York Times lovers of pagan Silenus: "...the best thing for humans is to not be born, and the second best thing is to die young...." So too contemporary Islam I am afraid.
"It is so strange." Not really. It depends on your perspective.
If you start with the premise that "woke" reality is determined and defined by various levels of perceived or self-defined victimhood, it is not strange at all. Starting in the 1960's and accelerating through the 70's, this quasi-religious view begin to spread (infect?) America, primarily in our education system. The notion that individual hard work, demonstrated accomplishment, and (most importantly) individual responsibility for outcome based on individual choices, which had defined and set America apart from other nations was replaced with the relentless search for "why I'm a victim and why everyone else owes me." A very lucrative career path opened up for some enterprising charlatans (as reported today elsewhere in TFP). More importantly, it began to replace the basic understanding of good/bad and right/wrong. The simple truth is this: REALITY EXISTS IRREGARDLESS OF "FEELINGS." We ignore that concept at our peril.
