We, Ourselves & Palestine
What world will we leave to our terrorists of tomorrow?
“What is at stake is more than one small country; it is a big idea: a new world order, where diverse nations are drawn together in common cause to achieve the universal aspirations of mankind—peace and security, freedom, and the rule of law. Such is a world worthy of our struggle and worthy of our children’s future.”
George H. W. Bush, 1991 State of the Union Address
Mike Tyson once said, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” But the West? It seems that taking that punch was our plan from the start.
Children of the New World Order — moulded for economic gain, with little regard for morals — intoxicated by high doses of cheap goods and cultural ‘enrichment,’ we stumbled upon our own brand of geopolitics: Liberalpolitik. The same pragmatic reasoning as Realpolitik, but with the idealistic feel of democratic liberalism: if we just allow the invisible hand to toss enough coins at the Leviathan, we can ride the short bus to peace. Collective schizophrenia.
After enduring enough punches, the hallucination became the dominant strain in our collective consciousness: an intersectional cabal of anti-West extremists pulling the strings from behind the curtains. The Biden regime is a testament to this.
But don’t call it a conspiracy theory just yet. The Holy Land is teeming with evidence. Take Biden’s now-suspended Iran envoy Robert Malley, caught allegedly helping to fund and organise an Iranian intelligence operation designed to influence the US and allied governments last June.
Or the $6 billion cleared for the same Iran, which Biden’s MENA coordinator, Brett McGurk, had to feign belief was designated for humanitarian supplies, fully aware of money’s fungibility.
The US shells out left and right — to keep Israel and Egypt playing nice to each other; Saudi Arabia’s and the UAE’s oil flowing; and for Qatar’s natural gas. But paying Iran for hostages, really?
State Department spokesman Matt Miller acknowledges that the recent $100 million aid package for Gaza will be intercepted by Hamas. He even admits that any assistance inside Gaza needs the approval of the thugs with the guns. Biden is now seeking $10 billion in ‘aid’ to rebuild infrastructure there. Hospitals or rockets? Let’s just say Liberalpolitik works in mysterious ways.
But Biden’s handlers are not foolish. Most have Ivy League qualifications, after all. It’s only the nature of their beliefs without purpose: to relinquish any form of self-control and trust bureaumagic will fix things. A higher form of fetishistic denial.
I Know, But I Don’t Want To Know That I Know, So I Don’t Know
“The attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum.”
António Guterres, UN Secretary-General
The term ‘cultural suicide’ doesn't sit well with me. It’s not self-inflicted. It’s a deliberate act against the ‘other’. A parasitic sub-culture devouring Western civilisation from the inside out. Or maybe it’s cannibalistic.
But we keep taking it on the chin, turning the other cheek, hoping perhaps it’ll end if we just keep our heads down. But when we can no longer stand, do we then offer up someone else’s cheeks?
If George Floyd had been let go that day, whose face would be next in line for his punch? Hamas is George Floyd now. Only in slow motion. Granted, slightly more vile, still high on drugs, holding guns to women’s heads even now, just as Floyd once did.
Had Floyd’s tale concluded during one of these episodes, he wouldn’t have become a martyr. But the police did eventually step in and changed his luck. Halting the violence rather than deflecting it towards the next innocent person. And now, the cops have arrived in Gaza. This is Hamas’ “I can’t breathe” moment. As our collective schizophrenia sets in, so does the awakening to police brutality; the boundary between crime and resistance blurs, as self-defence is painted as oppression. Suddenly, the criminals are the victims, and those hostages inside Hamas’ tunnels? Well, they’re the real oppressors.
The Liberalpolitik elites have been gaslit into believing that the police, and now the IDF, serve the darker purposes of white supremacy. To them, the presumed wealth of the Jews marks them as the main course in the ‘eat the rich’ feast.
In the face of the gruesome reality of ‘decolonisation,’ Western media granted Israel a moment’s grace. But as Israel punches back and 2023 Gaza turns into 1945 Dresden — for much the same reasons — the blood honeymoon is drawing to a close. Simply put, the mainstream media is starting to give Israel the ‘Trump treatment.’
Deep down, they know that the attacks on October 7th were inflicted by the wrecking ball of ‘build back better.’ And admit that it didn’t just target Israel; it targeted the West. In their heart of hearts, as the ‘Resistance,’ they know they must be ready to accept ‘just terrorism’ as a form of ‘just war.’
While some recognise Israel’s right to defence, their unspoken wish is for Israel to cease its fire and fade away. It’s as though the West could simply ignore the cost of such truces. And forget how wars are won.
The terrorists of tomorrow are watching — and learning a way around our self-professed unwillingness to negotiate. They’ve found allies within our ranks, securing a constant seat at the table. Shaping laws in Washington, D.C., teaching children in Sweden and operating trains in London. The holy wars of Wokeism and Jihad find common ground under the rainbow banner. For now.
Our media and politicians have been radicalised to the point where they spout off Hamas’ lines like they’re reading the morning weather — the ‘hospital bombing’ hoax being a case in point. Taking the word of the “Ministry of Health of Gaza,” never minding the puppet strings. It makes Pravda appear downright reliable and a model of journalistic integrity.
They’re playing a game of pretend, not seeing the line between targeting civilians and the terrorists hiding behind them. They’re all ‘queers for Palestine’ — well, they’re batting for a team that’d toss ‘em off a roof, aren’t they? Still, they pretend otherwise, believing that Liberalpolitik’s creative destruction will deliver a vacuum they’re eager to fill.
And then build back a better world. Where full-blown terrorists receive the respect and regard of freedom fighters, a courtesy they only sometimes experience at home. Our most esteemed courts hear them out, giving weight to their every word, treating them with the seriousness and dignity one would expect for global leaders. In this world, terrorists — like everyone else — find validation. A world just waiting for the next shoe to drop.
The Jihadist Who Cried Hunter
There’s talk that Hamas backers in Iran and Qatar were taken aback by the ‘success’ of the October 7th terrorist attacks. That all they needed was a mere fifty hostages and maybe a 10-foot tall pile of bodies to provoke Israel enough to act and shift Saudi’s stance on peace.
After all, Israel had pledged to respond forcefully when it was believed the number of hostages was around 100. Yet, the actual count stands at 239. There’s no coherent ‘strategy’ behind it. Releasing half of them would be logical if the intention was de-escalation. Unironically, it is Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, who emerges as the sole figure willing to sacrifice some skin in the game. The Patriarchy to the rescue!
Liberalpolitik doesn’t want de-escalation. They’ve kissed Kissinger goodbye. They’re hungry for a new pecking order, which means ceasing the fire of anyone fighting their friendly fire. And that’s the UN’s main concern at present, the cease-fire, not the release of the hostages. It’s scandalous.
Among the 59 countries flipping the dove to the UN’s fairytale truce, you’ll find every country that has Putin breathing down their neck — Ukraine, Poland, Finland, the Baltics, Moldova, Hungary, Georgia, Armenia, Bulgaria, Czechia, Slovakia, Romania, Sweden... Now ain’t that a clue about who’s pulling the strings?
A UN cease-fire is, essentially, just words on paper, as ineffective as gun control laws. And the majority of UN members are dictatorships, their puppet regimes, and sell-outs. We acknowledge all of this, yet choose to turn a blind eye.
They measure proportionality by the casualties inflicted, deliberately overlooking the fact that — in the absence of deterrence — terrorists are limited only by their capability, not their intent. But their intentions are clear and unwavering: to eradicate their enemies, while these adversaries are restrained by the shackles of political compromises, not their true might. Such is the West in the 21st century, in every sense.
Even Chamberlain wouldn’t have been so wimpish as to cry out about ‘germanophobia’ in the thick of 1940. Today’s version of appeasement the West has adopted is even more cowardly. Terrorists no longer mistake our weakness for kindness. They see right through the act. This breaks deterrence.
Iran’s puppet gangsters are on the rampage, striking without restraint—Hamas and Hezbollah at Israel, while the Houthis and Islamic Resistance target US forces. They’re assessing the West’s reaction, wondering if we would hit back or retreat, fearing igniting WW3. Their theory is that the threats of “fire and brimstone” are now off-limits given the political establishment.
Israel’s dilemma is that it’s consistently undermined by the US and Western Europe, boxing with a hand tied to its back. The terrorists’ hypothesis is that Israel is defenseless. Not against their enemies, but against the potential allegations of genocide that its self-defense might provoke from their ‘friends.’ And the possible repercussions that follow.
As the West clings to the rules of 1947, its adversaries hark back to 1453, envisaging the next chapter of a lax West that surrendered Constantinople and Jerusalem; gave up on the girls kidnapped by Boko Haram then, and by Hamas now. A West easily dazzled by shiny things: TikTok, cheap iPhones, oil & gas, or just anything sufficiently bright to showcase our virtue now. A vast expanse of Dar al-Harb is up for the taking, with the groundwork already laid.
In this bad case of schizophrenia, our Dr Jekyll isn’t notably intelligent or virtuous, while our Mr Hyde isn’t especially cunning or ruthless. They’re both just eager to fall into the next trap clearly laid out before them. And so, terrorists have now learnt that the most effective way to manipulate us isn’t by crying “wolf” but rather by crying “hunter.”
