It is my honor to write this piece with @MaxRose4NY. As a former soldier and F.B.I. agent, we both risked our lives to fight Al Qaeda. But the enemy we currently face is not a jihadist threat. It’s white supremacists — in the United States and overseas.https://t.co/SWew1ZbbaU

More how the 70's were way different!

African American civil rights leader and labor unionist Bayard Rustin termed the PLO “an organization committed to racism, terrorism, and authoritarianism.” Gov.Newsom’s pardon overturns Rustin’s 1953 criminal conviction in connection with anti-gay laws. https://t.co/yb4o1BuQz7

African American civil rights hero Rustin noted @Commentary that Middle Eastern regimes denigrated the Jewish state in order prevent divert efforts to“liberate their people from poverty and misery.”Rustin urged the US to sell fighter jets to Israel in 1970 https://t.co/yb4o1BuQz7

great twitter thread on 1970's terrorism:

The 1970s were so much more crazy than we remember.

Remember the time a Soviet-funded Palestinian terrorist group led by Carlos the Jackal kidnapped all the OPEC oil ministers in the middle of Vienna and flew to Algeria? pic.twitter.com/RIZnY818h2

especially like these three comments on it:

the weirdest bit was all the disparate groups swapping targets to evade intelligence so Japanese communists were attacking Israeli targets etc

Being an urban guerrilla was a sort of career path at the time, and you couldn't be too picky about your employer

And all - in the manner of Che - motivated by the high moral calling. Yep those were the days.
