Trevor Noah Compares Islamic Terror Against Israel To American Revolution

Left-wing entertainer Trevor Noah this week compared Islamic terror attacks against Israel to America’s Founding Fathers fighting the British during the American Revolutionary War.

Noah made the remarks during an interview with far-Left activist Ta-Nehisi Coates about a new book that he wrote that is filled with false claims about Israel.

The book is so extreme that a mainstream news anchor recently said it was a manuscript that terrorists would read.

“I have to say, when I read the book, I imagine if I took your name out of it, took away the awards, the acclaim, took the cover off the book, publishing house goes away, the content of that section would not be out of place in the backpack of an extremist,” said CBS News anchor Tony Dokoupil.

Noah said that people were outraged by Dokoupil’s assessment of the book because Coates was asked to answer legitimate questions about his claims.

“I sat there. I don’t get flabbergasted by much. I genuinely don’t. I sat down, I was like, what?” Noah said. “My first thought is, yes, but if you remove every context from everything, then everything could go anywhere. You know what I mean?”

“If you remove America’s history and America’s [inaudible] and America’s this, then it’s like, yeah, those people who fought against the British they were terrorists,” he continued. “I mean, you can call it like, yeah, the Boston Tea Party. That’s terrorism. If you remove the context, everything has no context.”

Notable reactions included:

This moral relativism is typical for Noah who also said Hitler was a great man because he “scares the man who oppresses me”

(And he was wrong, the Afrikaaners liked Hitler because they hated the British. But whatever.) https://t.co/uMJfIUo8mK

Noah came from apartheid South Africa to USA and made like what $20M a year to talk? Coates was never oppressed and has made a fortune through writing about pseudo-oppression. This conversation is absurd. https://t.co/lKdf9BOVSS

Yes the American revolution mostly featured George Washington leading terrorists to massacre, rape, and drag the corpses through the streets while celebrating the death of British civilians in large numbers, and then Washington and his terrorists hiding behind innocent colonials… https://t.co/tw4I1u2mTs

Extreme leftists are campaigning this week through multiple mediums to normalize mass violence and killing. What are they planning? https://t.co/RPfwWUlcUI
