As Hamas goes, so with it go many of the following related Western pretensions.
The Passions of 9/11, Redux
It has been 22 years since we saw crowds throughout the Middle East celebrating the murder of 3,000 civilians—and since newspapers had daily “idiot watch” notices of American intellectuals defending radical Islamist mass murderers. And now the madness is back again, and we are witnessing the recrudescence of normalizing radical Islamic terrorists abroad.
I suppose the theory is that no one in America cares much about radical Islamists foaming at the mouth, whether abroad or here. And the result is that they are empowered and their defense of murder is growing—yet its hubris will earn an almost-certain response, an anger slowly but insidiously growing at radical Islam.
A Middle East Policy in Ruins
The current Biden appeasement of Iran and gift of billions of dollars in aggregate to the West Bank and Gaza are now, by bipartisan consensus, unsustainable. The only supporters of that lethal madness left are the embarrassments of BLM, the Squad, the Democratic Socialists of America, and the campus crowd.
Their collective hatred of Jews and Israelis was manifested in their delight over the post mortem mutilations of murdered women and children. And why—even before Israel had responded with air attacks—were leftists and Islamists suddenly celebrating the news of the executions of more than 1,200 Jews? It was instinctual, a Pavlovian response.
Even some leftist Democrats were shocked by their own constituents, whom they had created. Biden still might cling to his past destructive Middle East policies (and I expect him to restrict the Israelis within days after they begin to go in full force into Gaza), but the idea of continuing aid to the West Bank and Gaza or of “normalizing” relations with theocratic Iran will now be rightly seen as a suicidal delusion.
Ukraine and Gaza
Most Americans support arms for Ukraine to repel Russian aggressors.
But something is becoming strange about these two respective wars.
Why did the State Department more or less put no restrictions on Ukrainian retaliation, including operations against the Russian Black Sea Fleet—but the Secretary of State almost immediately called for a “ceasefire” to prevent Israeli retaliation, a mortal sin if he had dared say that about Ukraine’s similar response to aggression? Would an American diplomat lecture Ukraine about ending the “cycle of violence?”
Why does the U.S. discount any possibility of a strategic response from Russia—which reportedly has some 6,000-7,000 nuclear weapons—to attacks on its homeland, but seems almost terrified about calling Iran to account for its central role in arming and funding terrorists to start a war with Israel by slaughtering 1,200 civilians?
Is the U.S., as professed, really able to fund a $120 billion—and counting—war in Ukraine, and to replenish Israeli stocks (300,000 artillery shells shipped from U.S. depots in Israel to Ukraine, a reportedly mere one-month supply for Kyiv), and to restore depleted existing U.S. munitions (note the billions of dollars of equipment abandoned in Kabul), and to ramp up our forces to deter China (while allowing 8 million illegal aliens to flow across an open border and $33 trillion in national debt) without going on a massive war footing?
There are likely somewhere between 600,000 and 800,000 total wounded and dead in Ukraine, in the most lethal conflict in Europe since 1945. Why is the U.S. so eager to call for a ceasefire after a fraction of those casualties in Gaza, but it is near-taboo to mention a breather amid the historical carnage, with no end in sight, in Ukraine?
The administration always says we can do everything simultaneously, but then we never do. Rhetoric is not the same thing as trebling our arms supply chain, and cutting the budget elsewhere to pay for it, and closing our border.
The Biden Open Border
Given the common denominator of Russian and Gazan invading forces crossing poorly fortified borders, why would we not secure our own—far longer and less secure than either?
The Biden border nihilism is now a losing proposition even for the leftists who helped promote it. Biden is eroding the very base of the Democratic Party, by alienating inner-city and border-district minorities. They are irate at the hordes of people stampeding into the country with the assumption that breaking our laws is their birthright.
Even the daily mendacity of Alejandro Mayorkas and Karine Jean-Pierre cannot hide the brazen contempt for the law. Every day that the border remains open and thousands more pour in unaudited, illegally, without skills, in non-diverse fashion, and with cartel fentanyl—to the cheers of the corrupt socialist President Obrador of Mexico—the more Joe Biden is destroying his own party.
The ruin in Gaza only reminds Americans that under present policies we will soon see thousands of America-hating, anti-Semitic Gazans seeking to pour into the United States illegally, eager to join the mass demonstrations cheering on Hamas death squads. It seems to take about a month for a radical Middle Eastern refugee, having arrived with gratitude toward his new American hosts, to take to the street on a “Day of Jihad” calling for the end of Israel (and often damning America).
Allies as Enemies
Abroad, we are finally accepting the long-suppressed reality that many of our “allies” are not neutrals but enemies. The U.S. bases in Qatar and Turkey, and our indifference to the pro-Hamas sentiments, if not outright aid, of both, have empowered terrorism.
Ever so slowly, the two anti-American nations are reminding Americans that we need to draw down our forces from these hostile landscapes, which in any global crisis would likely be hostile territory for our own troops.
Everyone knows Erdogan’s Turkey has no business in NATO—and everyone has no idea how to get them out. And so everyone puts an asterisk over Turkey as a NATO member. For now, the alliance’s only Islamist, non-democratic, and anti-Western nation is best simply avoided, since expelling Turkey appears to be more trouble than tolerating its toxic presence.
The Palestinian State Solution
The Left’s shrill demand for a “two-state” solution, and tolerance of Palestinian tired and serial threats to drive Israel into the sea, are for now over. The glee with which Gazans and West Bankers met the news of mass murder, mutilation, hostage-taking, rape, and the desecration of bodies is proof enough that these dictatorial governments probably do represent the majority of their citizens.
Most Gazans were giddy on hearing of the macabre methods of Hamas, and only wished that there had been more opportunity to spit on hostages, poke captive women, kick corpses, and torment the child and female trophies brought back from Israel. The Gazan delight in the grotesque was reminiscent of some medieval pogrom, or the Roman triumphs of old with their files of enslaved captives. And perhaps the desire to take captives and pass them back through the killing fields to Gaza reminds of the Aztec practice of seeking to capture rather than just kill their enemies, in order to have plenty of bodies for the human sacrifices on Templo Major.
The old idea of Gaza—self-governed since 2005-2006 by “one man, one vote, once” Hamas—as a possible “Singapore” with Hyatt and Four Seasons beaches, flush with hundreds of billions of dollars from the Gulf, Europe, the U.S. and the UN, is finally revealed as the farce it always was. That fantasy was simply antithetical to the Hamas nihilist charter, the logical manifestation of which was the slaughter inside Israel of hundreds of civilians.
BLM
BLM was always a corrupt, disingenuous operation—the craftier successor to the Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton 1980s corporate shake-downs. But it is has finally jumped the shark with its sick support for Hamas murderers (note its recent posters glorifying Hamas’s hang-gliding butchery).
Its pro-death advocacy of Hamas is the pièce de résistance to the corruption and abdication of its leadership, the Kendi-con, and the lethal crime wave it helped spawn in major cities. Its racist agendas may linger for a while. But BLM is going the way of the 1960s Black Panthers—that is, one leading to general disgust, then to irrelevance, and finally to nothingness.
The still-remaining BLM murals in our major downtowns are already embarrassments and eroding reminders of the insanity that swept the country from 2020 to the present.
Campuses
Universities have now crossed the Rubicon in de facto condoning their crazed students cheering on mass death. They made the argument after George Floyd that the country must listen to their pseudo-moral lectures, and now they unashamedly broadcast what they have become—traitors to the idea of an enlightened free society, and kindred spirits to the anti-Semitism, intolerance, and fascism of 1930s German universities.
Degrees from Harvard, Yale, and Stanford will soon become, not resume badges, but either embarrassments or certifications of a mediocre education. Or both.
Universities all rushed to embrace “decolonization”, starting with empty and ahistorical virtue signals and ending up paralyzed, as thousands of their own students showed the world how ecstatic they were over news that babies were murdered and women raped.
In response, their invertebrate administrators and faculty sat frozen for days, calculating how best to issue “on the one hand…on the other hand” mush. The first serious politician who calls for the taxing of the huge incomes of their endowments, for yanking the government out of the student loan business and returning the moral hazard to the universities who impoverish their own students, will win overwhelming support.
The Gaza of Hamas is going down, but so are a lot of corrupt institutions and ideas that threw in with its lot.
I would recommend against the Nazi reference: the Nazis didn’t deny knowledge of atrocities until *after the war*, making them a bad contrast to current Palestinians.
>>The only supporters of that lethal madness left are the embarrassments of BLM, the Squad, the Democratic Socialists of America, and the campus crowd.
Yes, it’s been a clarifying moment. We still dont know if the moment of clarity will last and if Americans will stay focused and get active. This should be , if not a true pivot point in the counter-march through there institutions, then at least step on the gas going into the turn kind of moment.
Still, the Hamas saga has weeks–even months–left to run its course. Right now, mainstream American attention to this matter is beginning to wane. There will be ups and downs and attention will wax again. How Republican–and Jewish leaders, generally–manage matters, how hard they/we focus and push, will be critical not only in determining how Israel fares, but if we can avoiding letting a good crisis (cynical as that sounds) go waste on behalf of Americas future.
Sweeping, socialists, Muslims and BLM/ANTIFA types out of at least some of our institutions would be a great start.
Seeing on TV the atrocities daily brought on by this savage assault on Israel by the Hamas gang of lunatics really pissed off Americans. We expected Israel to burst across their border wreaking revenge wherever they found a living being! Instead they took the much more reasonable and effective method of planning a rescue mission (if possible), pin point bombing, and a methodical tactical invasion that takes time and planning.
In the long run I have faith that Israel will elect to implement the best plan put forth by their military leaders. Certainly not anything Biden coaches them to do! It makes me cringe to think about the poor leadership we have now in these uncertain times. Which, of course, was brought on by our poor leadership!
A mother and daughter hostage pair were released yesterday. That amazed me and I said a prayer of thanks. I’m so glad they’re safe now.
The way that Republican and Jewish leaders will manage things going forward will be important, but I do not place a great deal of credence in either of those mushy mainstream institutions. The institutions that I would stand behind and hope do well are the Haredi Jewish institutions and our ever-faithful Christian brothers and sisters. Let’s see what they do, and how successful they are at doing it. And let’s support them, each according to his own faith and means, with both charity and prayer.
“normalizing” relations with theocratic Iran will now be rightly seen as a suicidal delusion
We live in hope, but you didn’t touch on the real issue here, and that is who is controlling all of this?
By controlling, I don’t mean the day to day actions, I mean the vision and direction.
Where does it come from? It’s not the American democrat party because it’s all over the world and whilst I acknowledge that you guys are influential this is far too big. There’s a drag queen story hour in my UK small town library soon!
Who is at the head of all this chaos?
Who sits above the USA and the UK?
Who has 17 sustainable development goals?
Who had Agenda 21 culminating with convid?
Who knows how Agenda 2030 will end?
Defund the UN now!
You are right that this is bigger than radicals in America; all the self-imagined western “elites” have been working towards a post-nation-state global government managed by “experts,” the logical end of progressive thought. But it’s even deeper than that – the extreme anti-human element revealed in radical environmentalism, transgenderism, anti-natalism, post-modern irrationalism, etc. are rejections of reality and creation. Hubris accompanied by such lust for destruction should strike us as satanic.
If you really want a BRILLIANT analysis of this (question on who is behind all of this evil) go to “crosstalk vcy america” & listen to yesterday’s broadcast (10/19/23) with Alex Newman. You will be absolutely amazed!!! You’ll never hear a more accurate explanation ANYWHERE.
thank you – I just looked at the vcy.org website – looks like a very good source of info and and shared values
Just listened to it, thanks for the info.
Nice article Prof. Hanson, as always.
One thing that struck me while reading the article was that “colonization” (which I’ve been reading a lot about currently) was basically the “spread of technology” (technology being the main advantage the colonizers had).
A lot of people in deepest, darkest African countries miss colonization. British colonization, anyway. I don’t think anybody misses that Belgian “Heart of Darkness” shit and especially the Germans and their genocidal pograms. I don’t remember if Burton ever wrote about that but Germany in the 19th century did its best to murder entire tribes and ethnicities. AFTER THEY’D BEEN ENSLAVED IN MINES!
And I know you’ve read about the mines the Romans had people enslaved in back in the Empire days. They had a VERY short life expectancy. I worked in a mine when I was young and strong, 26 and 27. It was the hardest work I ever endured and under the harshest conditions. There were sandstorms almost every day! And if you’ve ever been in a sandstorm, they’re no joke. And it was the Mojave desert so it was hot and when it rained it was like the Monsoon, which I’ve experienced first hand. One minute in rain that severe and you’re as soaked as if you jumped into a lake or the ocean.
I saw a guy on TV who said he missed the British colonialism because it was beneficial. He was a trader who used his ramshackle boat to move goods down a river for sale and he said he missed the well maintained roads and river ways.
Sure, colonialism was based on greed but it benefited the locals. At least in Britain’s case.
I give the British credit where credit is due. America wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for them. Civilization, common law and all that stuff? No way without them. And the Romans and Greeks before them.
Huh. My grandfather was a coal miner here in Western Pennsylvania. He was seventeen years old, right off the boat from Europe, and was given a big canvas sack, a pick, and a shovel, and was paid by the ton. It must have taken a long time to accumulate a ton! He survived a cave-in, lay unconscious on the ground for eight hours or so, and then got up and found his way out without help. He changed jobs after that; fortunately he knew how to bake bread, so he became a baker and lived happily ever after, until he died at thirty-nine of unrelated causes.
Coal mines used to be Hell holes.
Sorry your father died so young but it sounds like died happy.
Thanks Jeff, excellent points.
Dinesh D’Souza gave an excellent chapter in his book “What’s so Great about America” on the same subject you just addressed. (Chapter 2: “Two Cheers for Colonialism”)
Technology was what the colonized wanted to keep, not the colonists. Same with Islam. Only they pillage their technology. The shortest book ever would be
“Great inventions of the Muslim world“.
Yeah, sheep shagging is probably the only Moslem claim to fame.
I saw an Afghan do that on video. He was sneaky, too. he snuck up in the middle of the night and humped on that sheep. Don’t ask me if it was a ram or ewe. I don’t want to know.
the second shortest book would be “Prophecies of the Prophet Mohammed”
(I’ve never heard of one prophecy from this Prophet – has anybody? Did he prophesize that the sun would come up in the morning?)
He thought the sun set in a muddy puddle on the ground. He as ignorant and superstitious as they came. He also advised his followers not to piss in holes because Genies/Djinns lived in them and they’t get pissed off if you peed on them. What a moron.
This is a message we need to get out there. The massacre by these Hamas Jew-hate Nazis (sorry VDH, they were Nazi allies and are modern Nazis) succeeded in part because they planned and carried it out using very little technology to communicate.
On J6, those accused of “ insurrection” engaged in happy flag waving, carried Starbucks drinks and had cell phones in hand.. The world then learned that every day technology is is a sure way to be tracked to the ends of the earth and punished in a cruel and unusual manner..
The modern Nazis may have learned this from our government’s abuses of its own citizens.
Now the TaliBiden terrorist cartel is trying to force Israel to allow the terrorists in Gaza to rearm while they are committing war crimes.
TaliBiden has been attacking Israel for over 40 years now. More than enough time for us to name an enemy
I’d really like to see somebody punch that dotard, Beijing Biden, out. I hope Trump body slams him when he takes back the Presidency. Right on stage during the handover.
He body slammed Vince McMahon, you know. Sure, it was choreographed but he did it. And he did a funny victory celebration afterwards. He’s so cool.
You should do a web search it’s funny as FUCK.
Whoever down voted me eats the turds out of corpse asses.
Do they taste like Tootsie Rolls?
I see we have at least three Gaylords here.
Enjoy your Tootsie Rolls. “Munch munch, nibble nibble.”
FPM has class – don’t mess it up with 4 letter words and sick dem vocabulary.
I fart in your general direction.
Heck, there are some lefties who want to bring them here. It would not be too surprising if they really do either.
Iran and the Middle East Mullahs should be very careful how far they push Israel. The Kibbutzim, the army, and the older citizenry celebrate, or used to celebrate, the battle of Masada against the Roman Army two thousand years ago. (yes, in that part of the world, memories…and revenge… do go back that far.) Some dispute it, but 967 Jewish men, women, and children fortified themselves on a rocky outcrop, above a Roman Army. Rather than be defeated and enslaved, all 967, chose to slit their own throats and left the Romans only their rotting bodies. For many decades, the IDF has held The Masada Option a very close secret. And that was before Israel had hundreds of nuclear weapons. Iran may well be setting itself up for a Trinitite Makevover.
There was a movie about Masada. Peter O’Toole as the Roman commander and Peter Strauss as the head of the zealots.
Why Romans always have British accents in movies is beyond me. Latin is much more like plain spoken American English.
Islam is the ideology of war, genocides, theft, lies, destruction and oppression/dictatorships.
As long as the evil ideology is practiced there will be all of the above wherever islam is.
As I was reading VDH and his list. The thing that struck me the most is how unsurprising all of it is. With even casual due diligence, American could have avoided many of these disasters. Most of our policies seem to be based on emotion rather than reason. Open borders is a no brainer, BLM corruption was a foregone conclusion, the university has been a hot bed of intolerance for decades and Islam has hated and killed Jews and Christians for 1400 years. And we’re just now coming from behind the wall of sleep? WTF?
It wasn’t a lack of knowledge. It was deliberately keeping that knowledge, which is obvious to you and me, from the majority of the public through the biased lefty news outlets and publications, by censoring social media and through the corruption in government and the judicial system. And furthermore the public was misled and distracted by salacious smears about and now indictments of a man like Trump, who dared to speak truthfully.
Thanks Cat!!!!!
I don’t think the damage done by the MSM can be measured. They were given special privileges to act as watchdogs on behalf of the American public but are now clearly on the opposite side of that equation. Their leftist political bias serves only those whose laps they lie in. Furthermore, no one can claim they know not what they do.
According to Caroline Glick, who may be the best middle-east correspondent there is, the visits of Tony Blinken and Joe Biden weren’t to support Israel but to arm-twist them into permitting the U.S. resupply of Gaza, (always euphemistically called “humanitarian aid”). Nothing given to Gaza is ever humanitarian. The administration wants to arm Hamas. Blinken threatened to withhold American war materiel from Israel, just as Biden bragged about doing to Ukraine when he was Vive President to prevent his son from being investigated by the Ukrainian prosecutor. Biden’s people also “demanded” that Israel “invite” him to show up to continue the browbeating. As long as the visit lasted there could be no move against Hamas. Endless delays to the offensive have demoralized Israeli troops and empowered pro-terror groups all over the world to turn up the heat. So “Tony Blinken sat for seven hours with Israel’s war cabinet demanding they resupply Hamas” and forbade Israel from attacking Hamas missile sites (always located under or near hospitals). This guarantees huge casualties among Israeli forces. “Glick’s sources said the U.S. told Israel they weren’t allowed to “open up a war” with Lebanon despite being bombed from Hezb’allah in the north.”
So why do we have two carrier groups in the Mediterranean; to support Israel … or Hamas?
With friends like these who needs terrorists?
Occam’s Razor.
That sense of our having been betrayed by massive corruption is most easily explained by the realization that we have been betrayed by massive corruption.
Excellent point. Massive corruption seems to have stealthily spread throughout the world’s economic and political systems.
The latest I was reading about was how the stimulant Captagon was manufactured and sold on a large scale by Syria and Hezbollah, then used by Hamas terrorists invading Israel to stimulate their barbarism and aggression..
The Islamic Narco-terrorist state Syria generates more income by exporting drugs than by legitimate exports.
What I realized is that these Marxist and Islamic Narco-terrorist states are not a temporary feature of the world economy/political system but have become a permanent feature impossible to eradicate.
“Captagon.” I had to look that up. The Syrians who make that poison should be force fed large doses, or smoke it or whatever. Who knows how many American teens have been killed by that stuff?
I’m convinced that people who use drugs like that have their brains wired differently than the rest of us. Take meth as an example. I tried it when I was a teenager and absolutely hated it but tweakers get blissed out on it. It obviously affects people with twisted brains differently than normal people. It made me paranoid, sweaty, my scalp itched, I had no appetite and it seemed to last forever. Once was more than enough. I only tried it because of peer pressure. Once was MORE than enough.
Most Americans support arms for Ukraine to repel Russian aggressors.” This is a lie. I’m shocked at you Victor. I used to hold you in very high esteem.
Another excellent analysis, VDH!
But would suggest that just as there is no such thing as a “Palestinian people” (unless we mean the Jews), there is no such thing as “radical Islamists” – see my own recent FPM article that explains the Islamic doctrine, law & scriptures that motivate jihad & jihadis – totally mainstream, normative, orthodox.
Keep up your fantastic work!
TGIF ?
My comment is 2 short.
Always lacking in some fashion…
The blood shedding murderous jihadists of Hamas with their death and misery inflecting demonic evil are so horrendously wicked that they are the mirror reflection of the most despicable horrific villains describe in the Bible.
Which reads “There feet are swift to shed blood; destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace have they not known.” Romans 3:15-17, [N.K.J.V.]
Sounds like the Children of Ishmael to me, alright.
The Virginia Tech shooter had an Ismael Ax tattoo on his arm. (Read Ishmael Ax)
The press ignored it.
The evil prick was an atheist, and as such, liked how islam targeted Christianity.
The press had undoubtedly wished that he had been a Tea Party, church goer, but no such luck.
(One news outlet had run with a “Tea Party” association anyway, just as atheist McVeigh had been sold as Christian.)
For a more full understanding of the actual nature of the Qu ‘ran ,which the entire foundations of Hamas as well as all other jihad/murder organizations For that religious book of Islam instructs in violence and killing for the cause of Islam As found in ,for example 2:191. 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. So to understand that “holy book” of Islam. a person need to look back in time before the coming of Muhammad and then the Qu ran . Back to the First Century AD which was the time of early Christian church. For the Early Christian Church had and now in modern times the Christian church still has the Gospel of Christ, First Corinthians 15:1-4.
Much later, in time, came Muhammad and he gave much information, that many believe to be divine, some of which is said to have been obtained from an angle from heaven. This information was written down on different objects and things Those written words in different objects was then compiled together and then eventually went into the composition of what is now called the Qu’ ran .
The Qu .ran is actually, that is in reality, another gospel, apart and greatly different from the Gospel of the Christian Church. Such a thing was predicted in the Bible. For the Bible does warn about those who will come and offer to people another gospel other than the one shown above, First Corinthians 15:1-4. For it is warned about any other “gospel” in the Bible. For it is written in the Bible “But even if we or an angle from heaven preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so I say now again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:8, 9. [ N K.J.V.]
I am no strategist. but…..you’re a terrorist Hamas 85 ft down in a tunnel. The. 60 ft is blasted shut at all tunnel entrances. sounds like a plan to me.
Yeah, just shut them off as the rats they are.
Tunnels can be flooded. Are there good running sewers in Gaza?
Why should Israel not give Hamas the same treatment dished out to Germany during World War 2? And why should Israel not give Hamas the same treatment Japan got in August of 1945? There were no worldwide demonstrations demanding the US response to Pearl Harbor be “proportionate”. Very few around the world condemned the US for dropping not one but two atom bombs on Japan. By 1945 neither Germany nor Japan was attacking and killing Americans on American soil. On the other hand, today and for the last 70 years, Moslem terrorists have been attacking and killing Israelis on Israeli soil. Why the double standard? The reason is so simple that only a Harvard educated elitist would not understand. After dropping atom bombs on Japan the world feared and respected the US and dared not criticize the US. Today the world, particularly the Moslem world, sees Israel as weak. The world sees an Israel armed with nuclear weapons allowing a bunch of terrorists on its borders to launch rockets into Israel day in and day out. Israel is clearly the “weak horse”. However, if Israel were to detonate a nuclear weapon in Gaza the world reaction would be instant quiet. At that point Israel would be seen as the strong horse and nothing to be trifled with. By not using overwhelming force, including nuclear weapons, Israel and the Jewish people are guaranteeing that they will continue to be the target of all of the world’s bullies. If Israel detonated a nuclear weapon in Gaza, Israel would be warmly welcomed into the “family of nations” and would finally achieve a lasting peace.
The fallout from a nuke used on Gaza would spread to Israel proper. So would radiation. A nuclear strike just isn’t feasible.
Joe Biden addressed the American people calling us racists and Islamophobes but never said one word about the forty Jewish babies who had their heads cut off by Hamas. He did accuse Americans of being bigots and murdering a Palestinian baby in Chicago however. Read the old asshole’s quote below:
“Just last week, a mother was brutally stabbed. A little boy here in the United States, a little boy who just turned 6 years old, was murdered in their home outside of Chicago. His name was Wadea. Wadea, a proud American, a proud Palestinian American family.” – JOE BIDEN
Little has changed since 9-11, and now it doesn’t seem so long ago. I still remember after the towers fell, many leftists pumped their fists and hissed with relish, “Yesss!” To put it mildly, there are those who don’t have our best interest in mind. Will we ever learn?
Since FDR American ruling elite have been playing very dangerous game in The ME. By providing supports to almost every state and none state actors across all political factions.. The ME is a very dangerous place to play games. As much it is the cradle of civilization, it also is the grave yard of great empires. . More empires/civilizations are buried there than anywhere else on earth. If America continues on the path she is in. She may very well be digging her own grave.
my tunnel warfare manual:
1) find a tunnel.
2) get some napalm.
3) dump napalm into tunnel.
4) take a break and roast some marshmallows while the tunnel is still hot.
Napalm would be good for lefty protests and riots, too. Watching Antifa and BLM punks run around with their heads on fire would be hilarious.
If I may invoke the spirit of the late John Lennon, imagine there’s a Palestinian people freed of centuries of collective, anti-Semitic indoctrination. Imagine this people using its newly-freed mind’s eye to see clearly the Truth of their painful existence and protracted misery. Their restored moral vision would reveal to them that the guiding principle of their duplicitous Arab and Persian “benefactors” has always been “population expendable.” It would also reveal that they had committed the mother-of-all blunders by putting these rabid wolves in charge of the health and safety of the flock. They might then realize that their only salvation lies in (1) rejecting the reflexive envy, resentment and hatred for their Jewish neighbors contained in the homicidal and suicidal doctrines of their faux Islamist “shepherds” and (2) becoming Israel’s willing partner in a tolerant, peaceful and prosperous alliance. Doing so would end the societal bleeding and begin the healing of their toxic culture. By way of caveat, I wouldn’t hold my breath while imagining this epiphany. The good news, however, is that miracles still happen.
