Alexandra Szustakiewicz charged with two counts of hate crime after attacking couple, including pregnant wife, near Chicago

Alexandra Szustakiewicz, a 64yo Chicago woman, has been charged with two counts of hate crime after attacking a couple near Chicago because they were wearing pro-Palestinian ‘hoodies’.
Szustakiewicz was filmed harassing the couple, moving as if to throw her drink at them and appearing to try to strike the pregnant wife, before demanding workers in the cafe call the police as if she was the victim.
Almost exactly a year ago Stuart Seldowitz, a former ‘Israel adviser’ to the US government, was arrested after a series of disgusting racist diatribes at a Muslim food stall worker were captured on video. The charges were dropped after a judge offered Seldowitz a six-month ‘anti-bias’ course.

Good. Sweat it out, you arl coo.
But like the other case, the charges will be dropped.
And if it was here in blighty, keef’d see to it that the Palestinian supporting couple faced the beak.
You could just picture Kid Starver saying ” I noticed neither of the couple mentioned Oct 7th during this exchange”.
You’d be surprised if he said anything else but that.
“Woman, 64, charged with hate crime after attack on pro-Palestinian couple”
That headline succinctly sums up the absolute nadir of what passes for Western “civilisation.”
Is it just me who is so underwhelmed that the strongest urge is to throw mesen onto’t spike railings rather than get out the bunting and have a celebratory street party, or have we reached peak Kool-Aid?
Just where the hell are the priorities here?
Whether it’s a 79-year-old Israeli academic at a protest or some elderly lady with no profile whatsoever in a nondescript café in nowhere USA , it is clearly a lot easier to arrest and charge someone with some loosely defined “hate crime” – and celebrate the fact as some kind of moral and legal “victory” – in which no one suffered any physical harm than to deal with those who actually engage in mass extermination of women, children, health care and aid workers, doctors, peacekeepers and sundry civilians on an industrial scale.
Not to mention those who aid and abet them. From providing legal and moral cover right up to providing the means and intelligence data.
When every war criminal involved in this atrocity (and others of recent times) – from Netanyahu, his cabinet and military (along all with the rabid dog settler movement personnel) through to all those aiding and abetting them – are lined up at The Hague (they can be tried in batches a la the old French Revolutionary Tribunals) and facing the same fate as those at Nuremberg will be the time to get excited.
This kind of bollocks is just a placebo. Another dead cat slammed on the table to distract the masses from the pertinent issues.
Underwhelmed just does not cover it.
