RUTHFULLY YOURS

The mass campaign to “Globalize the intifada” essentially means ‘Globalize Jew-hate’ — a short step to the stated intent of some Islamists to ultimately eradicate Jews globally.

This outcome is what many demonstrators seem to seek when they use supporting the cause of the so-called Palestinian people as a subterfuge, a Trojan horse, to hide their homicidal aims against the Jews, starting with Israel.

Problematically, the Palestinian people do not actually exist. They are ordinary Arabs who happened to be on the land called Israel, who decided to flee during the 1948 war, but then, after the five Arab armies lost, were not allowed back. Israel considered them disloyal fifth-columnists who had left of their own free will and a potential risk, in contrast to the Arabs who remained in Israel during the war. The fiction of a “Palstinian people” was admitted by a late senior Palestine Liberation Organization official Zuheir Mohsen in an interview for the Dutch Newspaper Trouw:

“The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct “Palestinian people” to oppose Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons…..”
— Zuheir Mohsen to James Dorsey, “Wij zijn alleen Palestijn om politieke reden“, Trouw, March 31, 1977.

In plain words, the suffering Palestinian civilians are being used as a front, a ‘human face’, for a far deeper aim which is, ultimately, the overthrow first of Israel, then of America, the West, its civilization and Judeo-Christian values.

Due to the substantial success of jihadist mass propaganda, Jews, Israelis and their supporters are frequently assaulted in Europe and elsewhere, or denied defending their views, and explaining their views in the public arena. They seem to be silenced at every possible turn by mass hysteria and so blocked from opportunities to address the countless defamatory charges of “blood-libel” so frequently made against Israel and the Jews.

The recent turn of events should be not surprising when one realizes, for instance, that Qatar – the ideological home of the Muslim Brotherhood Islamist movement (which supports Hamas and other jihadists) — has donated some one billion dollars in the last few decades to the Georgetown University in the US.

Georgetown has “long held a reputation for academic excellence and elite political access. Its School of Foreign Service has educated U.S. presidents, senators, diplomats and global leaders.” Qatar, amongst other foreign agents, thus has an agenda to sow seeds of anti-Western discord in favour of Islamism in other influential US universities as well (see Appendix).

Certain nations — all apparently freedom loving, democratic, and which fall within the Western tradition — have either sanctioned Israel (often possibly meaning Jews) or called for the immediate establishment of a Palestinian State within Israel’s borders (such as the West Bank) or on its boundary, as with Gaza, ruled by the Iranian-backed terrorist group, Hamas. The primary opponents, apart from the United Nations and other unelected untransparent unaccountable transnational entities such as the European Union, can be identified as France, Canada, Spain, Ireland and Norway presumably in attempts to appease their Muslim electorate. By so doing, they undermine not just Israel’s international rights of security and existence, .but sadly and ironically, their own.

It is one thing when random individuals or groups call to “globalize the intifada,” but when leaders of Western nations effectively call for the same thing against Israel (again, possibly Jews), then that can develops into a movement that snowballs.

In early June, Britain and four other nations including Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Norway sanctioned two Israeli cabinet ministers: Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.

“The ministers,” a joint statement by all five nations explained, “were targeted for ‘inciting violence against Palestinians'” to which Ben-Gvir retorted, “Continue putting your head in the sand.” He had apparently already posted an “AI-generated picture of London’s Big Ben under a Palestinian keffiyeh headgear.”

The insanity of a new move for sanctions against Israel is particularly grotesque in view of the fact that Hamas was the entity that initiated violence on October 7, 2023, and that continues its violence against Israel, the hostages, and the Palestinians themselves.

Australia’s Foreign Minister Penny Wong also sanctioned the Israeli ministers (but no Hamas or Hezbollah members) with no successful resistance from the opposition political parties. This is the same Wong who previously invited thousands of Palestinians from Gaza to settle in Australia without meaningful background checks.

US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio “urged reversal of the sanctions [against Israel] and said the US stands ‘shoulder-to-shoulder with Israel.'” He elaborated:

“We reject any notion of equivalence: Hamas is a terrorist organisation that committed unspeakable atrocities, continues to hold innocent civilians hostage, and prevents the people of Gaza from living in peace.”

On the same theme, also in June, France and Saudi Arabia planned a UN conference on Palestinian statehood. The US responded by issuing a caution to participating nations which emphasized that the conference was contrary to U.S. foreign-policy interests. Washington a published statement which read in part:

“The United States opposes any steps that would unilaterally recognise a conjectural Palestinian state, which adds significant legal and political obstacles to the eventual resolution of the conflict and could coerce Israel during a war, thereby supporting its enemies.”

France’s President Emmanuel Macron, true to his predictable outlook, declared that “recognizing Palestine was ‘not only a moral duty but a political necessity.'” None of the nations that vehemently supported the irrationality of a Palestinian state ever mentioned the slaughter by Hamas of Israel’s innocents; the 54-59 hostages still held by Hamas, only 21 of whom are believed to remain alive, or that Hamas, not Israel, had started the war, or that the war could end immediately if Hamas returned the hostages, which they had no business kidnapping in the first place, and laid down its arms.

The short reply of the US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee to Macron was: “No Palestinian state likely in our lifetime.”

“We’ve never seen anything like this onslaught before.,” wrote the British columnist Melanie Phillips. “And this lunacy is now gripping various Western governments formerly considered to be Israel’s allies.”

The distressing fact of the matter is that the “West has turned against Israel.” The reason seems clear. with The UK is a pertinent example:

“Britain is choosing to appease its own Islamists, while treating as an enemy the country that is not only fighting the same existential foe but is vital to help the United Kingdom defend itself against it.”

The same contention applies to most of Western Europe.

These Western European nations, with an ever increasing number of Muslim newcomers , are on the brink of becoming Islamist havens within the foreseeable future. Western civilization, which was founded in Europe, and has endured for centuries, will soon be replaced by Sharia law – values antithetical to those of the Bible, the Magna Carta and the Enlightenment. It is a choice: the West is allowing its hard-won freedoms, primacy of individual rights and freedom of expression to be compromised.

Jew-hatred, now carried to extremes, reveals a mass movement not seen since Nazi Germany. This movement has enveloped the hitherto allies of Israel in Western Europe. Some Europeans, while under Nazi occupation were, frankly, complicit to various degrees in the deportation and execution of war-time Jews.

Dark times appear to lie ahead for Europe. Its future might be even more dire than that of Israel. Their leaders remain in denial of the lethal threats to their nation and its traditional culture. Civil war possibly awaits them in the near future as recent events in Northern Ireland, and Dublin, Ireland, indicate.

Israel, on the other hand, has always been prepared for war and terror, to various degrees, and is well able to recognise and defeat its enemies, as history confirms. Perhaps the escalation of Jew-hatred in the diaspora will serve as a wake-up call to those sowing division in Israel’s society and seeking the downfall of most the most competent and courageous prime minister, Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, in recent decades,

The age-old adage remains pertinent, “United we stand, divided we fall.” Israel’s political agitators should take note, this is no longer a trivial matter but one that questions the viability of the future existence of the West.
