From a New York Posteditorial, we get word that karma has arrived for at least three Woke activists who got booted from their jobs for their vile comments against Israel.

As the Post says, and as we say…it’s a start.

The Post names them as Beverly Hills radiologist Andrew Thrierry, CitiGroup banker, Nozima Husainova, and Homeland Security employee, Nejwa Ali.

Dick and Jane…where are you?

Names are important at this hour of reckoning. History is waiting to be written, and posterity will separate the gold from the dust.

A person’s name lasts forever, for good and for evil.

For the good, Lawrence Summers will be remembered for blasting Harvard Student Groups for their “morally unconscionable” support for Hamas.

Summers is a former president of Harvard, and he is the first to call for a donor revolt against the Ivy Leagues so morally depraved.

Along with others, he suggests that billionaire donors should endow the universities one dollar, to make a point.

His name will be blessed. So will Megyn Kelly’s. Megyn’s powerful voice for Israel is heartening and here she names names of particularly obnoxious Hamas supporters on the Homefront.

Names to be cursed as anathema, for choosing to side with Hamas, these include all members of the Congressional Squad.

For now, and for history, their names are Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Cori Bush, Jammal Bowman, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Let me repeat that…Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez…so that history won’t be fooled by the cutesy diminutive, AOC.

For Haman, and for Hitler, we say, “may his name be erased,” yet history has a stubborn way of remembering.

The good, the bad, and the ugly are in the books for all time.

Quicker than that, the college students…Hitler Youth… marching and chanting for Jewish blood, their names are already blotted out for employment.

The Book of Remembrance will never forget or forgive the harm done to Israel through deliberate false reporting.

The BBC, The New York Times, NPR, ABC, NBC, CBS…their reputations are damned for acting as propagandists for Hamas, as already they are dancing to the tune of moral equivalency.

Look, they say…look at these pictures, not those about beheaded Israeli toddlers.

By impulse they chose to believe Hamas, for the hospital attack. No way could they resist the scoop.

After all, guys in the newsroom, that’s Hamas on the Tip-Line…who on earth is more reliable as a source?

Only later did the Times apologize for getting it wrong. (That’s a first.)

Too late. The damage has been done. The mis-reporting from all of them has further inflamed the mobs.

That too is one for the books, and for the BBC, it’s also too late. Nothing they say over there can ever be taken seriously. You can’t recover from bias so loud.

As when they interviewed Naftali Bennett and voiced concern only for the Palestinian Arabs, and cited chapter and verse from the Geneva Convention, at which point Bennett had been lectured enough and correctly accused the BBC of “taking sides.” If he’d had the time, he would have asked the hostile interviewer, who was worried only for Gaza civilians, if Churchill was worried for Dresden civilians, as Ambassador Tzipi Hotovely did in another interview.

Did the BBC cite the Geneva Convention while Britain was facing annihilation – as is Israel today?

Back to The New York Times, and the apology, and those three Woke activists who got what’s coming, it’s a trend in the right direction.

But I’ll need much more to convince me that the battle for truth is being won.
