The chief political columnist for the British online publication Spiked, Brendan O’Neill has a bone to pick with those who describe the late and unlamented Ismail Haniyeh as a “moderate.” More on his furious rejoinder to those nitwits can be found here: “Ismail Haniyeh was a monster, not a ‘moderate,’” by Brendan O’Neill, Spiked, July 31, 2024:
Forget ‘centrist dads’, there’s a new political character in town: the centrist fascist. The moderate Jew-killer. The middle-of-the-road cheerleader of mass murder. It’s Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas, who was bumped off in Tehran yesterday, presumably by the Israel Defence Forces. Reading the strangely pained media coverage of his death, you could be forgiven for thinking he’d been a pragmatic, upstanding guy, someone who was considered ‘very moderate’, in the words of Sky News crank, Alex Crawford. In truth, of course, he was a militant anti-Semite and we should spend as much time mourning his passing as he did the Jews his comrades butchered on 7 October: ie, none.
The m-word I expected to see in the commentary on Haniyeh was ‘murderous’ – the m-word I got was ‘moderate’. For all his ‘tough rhetoric’, he was actually ‘moderate and pragmatic’, says BBC correspondent, Yolande Knell. That ‘tough rhetoric’ included calling the 7 October pogrom a ‘victory’, agitating for a further ‘jihad of the swords’ (that is, more Jew murder), and chanting about the ‘army of Muhammad’ returning to wreak vengeance on Jews. BBC types will damn you as a crazy extremist if you say women don’t have cocks, and then straight-up depict a man who wanted to draw swords against Jews as a moderate.
He was ‘pragmatic’ and ‘open to negotiation’, says the Guardian. CNBC at least had the decency to caveat its insane commentary, only calling Haniyeh a ‘relatively moderate figure’. He was seen ‘as a moderate’, says Reuters, certainly in comparison with ‘more hardline’ Hamas leaders. Seriously, what does ‘moderate’ even mean in the Hamas context? This is a terror outfit whose founding charter committed it to the murder of Jews. And which slaughtered more Jews in one day on 7 October 2023 than anyone else had since the Nazis. A fascistic act Haniyeh celebrated. Perhaps he only wanted to kill someJews, not all of them? Is that ‘pragmatism’ in Hamasworld?…
Western observers seem obsessed with ‘de-escalation’ in the Middle East. They want calm. But what is calm for them is potential catastrophe for the Jewish State. The ‘peace’ these people call for would be the peace of the grave for many Israelis. Hamas has promised to carry out more 7 Octobers. For Israel to leave such a movement intact would be risky in the extreme. The assassination of Ismail Haniyeh sends a clear message to the world, and it’s one that every true progressive ought to welcome: namely, that you cannot kill Jews with impunity anymore. Fascist violence has consequences now.
Well, Brendan O’Neill, just one word to add to your terrific burst of fury against those who insist on praising a terrorist murderer as a “moderate.” You mention that Haniyeh had been “living a life of luxury” in Doha. So he was, but there’s more to that story. This “defender of the Palestinians” in Gaza had managed, before being hoist by a well-planted Israeli petard, to accumulate a fortune of $4 billion, every cent of which was stolen by him from foreign aid meant for the people of Gaza. Kindly add that to your bill of particulars.
good news of his moderate death , now he is in hell and its not moderate . thousands more will join him but he wont know it . thats why its called hell . wailing and gnashing of teeth its eternal effect . ETERNAL is a long time .
That other ‘moderate’, Lenin once said, “A capitalist is someone who will sell us the rope with which we’ll hang him”. Well, a liberal useful idiot is someone who would just give our enemies the rope to hang us – or worse.
Ismail Haniyeh … Islamic Depravity Incarnate.
Good riddance.
Decapitate all depraved murderous psychopathic berserk Islamic leaders.
It’s not only Spiked and Brendan O’Neill. Predictably, The New York Times (a despicable Jew hating rag posing as “the newspaper of record” which it is not) described Haniyeh as a moderate. Of course, Saddam Hussein was described as such, as was Bashar Al Assad.
The terms “moderate” and “extremist” seem to have been swapped round. People who have a loyalty for their country, and would like it to g on being worthy of their loyalty are now extremists – and people who support and commit murderous rampages are moderate.
Whatever it was that motivated the Southport murders, I guess the perpetrator was a moderate, because he only targeted little girls, when he could have found a way of attacking little boys as well.
