Even by WSJ editorial page standards for vicious name calling and “Red Baiting” this editorial with its off the hook unfounded condemnation of the Climate Justice Alliance and, by inference, the Biden Administration wins the prize.
Should Trump and his “Reich” gain power in 2025 we can expect more of this dangerous rhetoric and, more insidiously, dangerous assaults on all those groups and individuals who oppose the entrenched power structure in America.

The Radicals Getting Your Tax Money
The EPA awards $50 million to a group that says Palestine is a ‘climate justice issue.’
In other words, banishing fossil fuels won’t be enough to arrest rising temperatures and sea levels. Israel, the military, the police, immigration enforcement, prisons, and capitalism all will have to go, too. The EPA is funding radicals whose aim is to sow division and dismantle U.S. institutions.
What does Climate Justice Alliance do? Last November it helped to coordinate a “March on Washington,” where protesters waved the banner “Free Palestine Is a Climate Justice Issue.” Other slogans included “Our Government Funds Palestinian Genocide” and “Only Socialist Revolution Can Stop World War III.”
The group’s website includes a “Free Palestine” section, with a video that uses “an anti-colonial framework to show how Climate Justice and the liberation of Palestine are connected.” It doesn’t disappoint. “Climate change did not begin with the burning of fossil fuels,” the narrator says. “It began with settler colonialism, imperialism and extractivism.” He asks viewers “to demand that we cut military funding to Israel and begin the process of demilitarization, so that we can all be free.
