In 1782, John Fawcett wrote a Christian hymn titled "Blest be the tie that binds." I remember singing this as a little fella at Fort Street United Methodist Church in the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood in Atlanta. The first stanza is memorable: "Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love; the fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above." As this hymn came to my mind recently during a morning run, I thought about the tie that binds the Marxists to the Islamists, and is in full display here in America.

Just recently, we witnessed another round of anti-Israel and anti-Semitic protests outside a historic Jewish synagogue in Manhattan. There have also been sprayings of swastikas on Jewish structures. We remember the horrific protests on US colleges and universities in support of the Islamic terrorist organization, Hamas. Who can forget the recent vehicle-borne attack by an Islamist from the Dearborn, Michigan, area, whose relatives in Lebanon were Hezbollah associates?

And yet, little to no condemnation from the Marxist leftists in America. As a matter of fact, they elected a Marxist/Islamist Hamas supporter as the Mayor of America's largest city. Even the NY Times hosts someone who is a supporter of political violence, Hasan Piker, and dares not challenge his assertions. And this is the same person who campaigns with a virulent anti-Jewish candidate for US Senate from Michigan, running on the Democratic party ticket.

We do hear........
