Israel vs Palestine
War has broken out between the Palestinians and the Israelis. Have you picked a side yet?
War has broken out between the Palestinians and the Israelis. Have you picked a side yet? If not, I think the following tweet by X user @TradNorm provides an interesting summary of the ideological positions available to you.
Do you fit into any of these camps? Or are you like me, and fit into none of them?
Let me share my position with you: I support neither Palestine nor Israel.
Whilst I think the loss of civilian life on both sides is a tragedy, and I feel for those whose family members have been killed either by Hamas or by the Israeli government, what should be clear is that this conflict is, or at least should be, none of our business.
These two middle eastern tribes - Muslim Arabs on the one side, and religious and secular Jews on the other - are not Western, and never will be.
Unfortunately, however, both groups have infiltrated the West: Muslims are coming here in droves and transforming the cities and towns they occupy into mini versions of the troublesome countries they came from. Sweden and France are the countries worst affected by this.
As for Jews, they hold positions of great power and influence in the West and are disproportionately wielding it to promulgate wokeism and globalism - ideologies which are destroying us. America is the country (or rather empire) worst affected by this.
Both tribes are major net negatives for the West. Neither is our ally. Yes, it’s true that Israel is supposedly one of of our greatest allies, but I’ve not seen evidence of this. It seems to me to be a one way street: where the West does all the giving, and Israel does all the taking. The Middle East, in short, has proven to be a giant sinkhole for Western money, resources, and lives - and we’ve got nothing to show for it.
Why do we bother with people who hate and resent us, and with people who subvert and undermine us? Why do we import millions of them here? Why do we let them run rampant through our culture, institutions, and industry via their ethnic cronyism and in-group preference? We need to free our societies of foreign influence, and kindle strong, bold, and noble Western values - not Islamic or Jewish values, which will only accelerate our descent to the civilisational graveyard.
Of course I do not believe any one group of people is responsible for all the West’s problems, as there are plenty of native Westerners who are woke or globalist or both, and who are betraying our peoples and nations in a heinous and treacherous way (and they should be dealt with accordingly). But compounding the situation by intertwining ourselves with foreign peoples who don’t have our best interests at heart, who aren’t loyal to us - and never can be - is foolish.
There is no political, economic, or cultural justification for our involvement with Israel, and it truly is a sight to behold when so called Western conservatives make a big show of kissing the boots of Israel, like a bunch of self-loathing sycophants.
Let the Arabs and Jews sort out their own problems in the way that aligns with their respective natures and cultures, and let us sort out our own. We need to focus on what’s happening inside our borders: on defeating those who are poisoning us from within. All else is a distraction.
