For leftists, history isn’t a matter of facts from which one learns (or that merely entertain). Instead, history is something to be manipulated to gain and maintain power. Orwell, who saw communists in action during the Spanish Civil War, wrote about the “memory hole” in 1984 based on having seen the communists instantly delete or rewrite past or current events to achieve present goals.
This year, leftists are on fire to rewrite the story of Christ, casting him as a “Palestinian refugee.” Nothing could be further from the truth.
