How dare Jew?

Reflections on the collapse of the liberal order

Notes from “The Global Day of Jihad, 6” 11:44 MST: Understand this: Hamas and its supporters aren’t engaged in a land dispute, or protesting “imperialism” or “colonialism.” Hamas is transparent in its aims: to wipe every last Jew off the face of the earth.*. Secular leftwing Jews who back every leftist cause, from BLM to “trans affirmation” to “Palestinian rights” — the cream of the self-haters and the sickeningly needy pleasers — will be killed with the same alacrity as Israeli soldiers, if Hamas and its supporters can manage it.

These “militants” will slaughter babies and desecrate their tiny bodies; they’ll “dirty” women — raping them repeatedly — before torturing and killing them; they’ll execute any and all Jews whenever possible — and they’ll film and exhibit their barbarism while “innocent civilians” in Gaza celebrate, hand out sweets, and attend mosques where the message is always the same: annihilate and exterminate every last Jew. Allah demands it!

This is who and what they are — and the leftists and university activists and waffling media outlets and “world leaders” who sympathize with this animal behavior are complicit in it, providing it cover thru the twin Cultural Marxists poisons of “power imbalance” and the Otherness trope of Edward Said’s Orientalism, which elevates the supposedly marginalized to positions of undeserved power by using “victimhood” as an excuse for every special dispensation and every vile act they lay claim to.

There are no purely “intellectual” allies to the “Palestinian cause.” There are only evil people who are able to use sophistry and intersectional leftism to justify their deep-seeded hatred of Jews.

Hamas wants me dead. They want my sons dead. They have the bravado and deranged self righteousness to say so.

What I’ve learned, though, is that a lot of westerners share in that desire — and they cheer on those who act because they themselves don’t have the courage of their convictions. Instead, they live vicariously thru butchers and camouflage their ugly souls in the faux self-righteousness of phony “protests” over “apartheid” or “stolen land.”

For most of history the vast majority of people on earth have lived in a Hobbesian state. Putting suits and polished shoes on these tribal animals doesn’t civilize them nor magically grant them nobility.

Jim Treacher’s Substack today posed the question (I’m paraphrasing here) should Americans be allowed to cheer the unprovoked massacre of Jews?

This isn’t a tricky or complicated question. Of course they should. We have that freedom.

But then other Americans should refuse to call these ghouls fellow countrymen, and call for their deportation. We needn’t live with the enemies of civilization or the liberal order, which brought us out of the Dark Ages and gave us the Enlightenment — which conceptualized and then proved that humanity could evolve beyond tribal hatreds.

The left and their friends in barbarism wish to bring those hatreds back — to divide and then conquer. That they choose different weapons is a mere nicety of “progress.” The evil inside, though, is the very same — and it’s time we all said so.
