His name is Sam Seder; he is a Jewish leftist who is fighting those who are trying to warn him and defending those who laugh at how easy it is to get him to do their bidding. That is at the very essence of Stockholm Syndrome. It’s people like Seder who are able to provide cover for Muslim Brotherhood groups in America because such groups point to folks like Seder and Rabbi David Saperstein as evidence they don’t seek to subjugate non-Muslims.
Earlier this week, we posted about Rep. Michele Bachmann’s interview on the Jan Markell show, during which she likened Islamists to Nazis. There is nothing wrong with doing that, by the way. The Nazis sided with the Muslim Brotherhood in WWII.
There are two famous quotes that came to mind as I watched Seder defend those whose long-term goal is to do him harm, while attacking a woman who wants to warn him:
An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile—hoping it will eat him last. – Winston Churchill
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out–
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out–
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out–
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me–and there was no one left to speak for me. – Martin Niemöller
If Seder were in a crowded theater that was on fire, he’d probably get mad at those who yelled “FIRE” because they interrupted his movie-going experience.
For something totally, tangentially related, here is a band named Stockholm Syndrome covering the 1970’s hit by the Climax Blues Band, Couldn’t get it Right.
Here is a video that does a good job of explaining Stockholm Syndrome, a condition with traits Seder seems to exhibit:
