Pro-terrorist protesters attempt to cancel Christmas while politicians appease them
Pro-terrorist demonstrators tried to cancel Christmas at Rockefeller Center Monday; there were scuffles, some arrests, and a cop was injured — all in all, just another day in post-October 7 Gotham.
So what’s going on?
The late Daniel Patrick Moynihan would have known.
He saw things sooner than most, and he was among the first to note America’s growing tolerance for aberrative behavior.
“Defining deviancy down” is what he called it — and that was three decades ago.
But what would the great man have thought about New York’s acquiescence in a slow-rolling celebration of Islamist terror — now about to enter a third month?
Defining depravity down, perhaps?
It was more than three years ago when New York responded to the looting of the iconic Herald Square Macy’s by painting political graffiti in front of Trump Tower — and then electing DAs who refuse even to prosecute shoplifters.
That was appalling, of course, but at least it was comprehensible: Everybody loves free stuff, the George Floyd riots were viewed as legit political acts — and New York politicians are notably more cowardly than most.

Consider that disgusting exhibition at Rock Center Monday evening, when hundreds of pro-Islamist demonstrators crowded in to mock one of Christianity’s holiest days — in support of Hamas, the perpetrators of 1,200 murders, and so much more, in Israel Oct. 7.
Who targets Christmas Day for a celebration of coldly calculated mass murder, torture, hostage-taking and rape?
Can it get more depraved than that?
Perhaps. Who knows what these lovely folks are planning for New Year’s Eve?
Whatever it is, they reasonably can expect to get away with it.
