Chomp Chomp, Gulp Gulp

“Remember the good ole’ days when we lived in a country where no one had the answer to this baffling question: How could something like the Holocaust happen?” — John Nolte, Breitbart.

Of course, you realize that if this tragic business in the Middle East gets out of hand millions of people might die, maybe even you and me. Any way you cut it, looks like Islam wants to rumble. Basic problem: the little slab of land on the Mediterranean at issue is in the possession of one group of people and another group of people wants to drive them out. There is no “two state solution” because there is only one place in that place.

The world has already forgotten the butchery of October 7. Islam won’t even go so far as to acknowledge that something happened there, or that it matters. This is a quandary for Western Civ which operates lately on the ethos that anything goes and nothing matters. Face it: that’s a luxury belief. A society in collapse learns painfully that the first thing to go is luxury, Louis Vuitton bags and foolish Woke thinking. Western Civ may not be able to pretend any longer that nothing matters.

The reason Israel is where it is is because Western Civ treated the Jews abominably in the 1930s and 40s. The result, establishing a state of Israel in its historic location, was a power move, of course, by the powers who won the Second World War, but it had the imprimatur of a sacred duty. We’ve forgotten the impact, even to regular grunt US soldiers who liberated the extermination camps of Europe, of the unspeakable barbarism they encountered. It maimed the psyche of Western Civ to discover what savagery its best educated member nation turned out to be capable of. Is there any question that Germany lost its mind in those years?

Western Civ has been busy losing its mind for about seven years now. It’s so tormented that it has been flirting with suicide, for instance, allowing its borders to be overwhelmed with swarms of declared antagonists to Western culture. The European Union guilt-tripped themselves into letting that happen. The process in the USA appears more sinister and calculated, a sheer political ploy. In any case, nobody is lifting a finger to stop it.

Israel is a full-fledged member of that lunatic asylum. Israel is engaged in as much of a civil war between Left and Right as its godfathers in Europe and North America are enduring. On top of that, Israel decided to become the poster-child for Covid-19 vaccination “uptake.” It seemed like a valiant stand in the first flush of the Covid “crisis,” but now it looks more like they poisoned more than 90-percent of their population. You don’t hear much about it these days, but it’s lurking there, just like the massive vaccine damage that Europe and America have by stealth sustained lurks in the background of rising war fever and disintegrating economies.

It looks like the Islamic nations that surround Israel like a child in an alligator pit have made the calculation that now is the time to gobble up the little interloper. Trouble is, that child is armed to the teeth. It also looks like the alligators don’t care. It happens that they have small alligator brains, not that good for gaming out clashes of civilizations. All they care about is chomp chomp and gulp gulp. One question they fail to ask: Would the Middle East actually be a better place without an Israel? I bet this hasn’t occurred to any of them. Once it’s gone, they’ll be chomping and gulping each other, I assure you.

Our nation, under the leadership of “Joe Biden” (…iden…iden…iden…iden…), has deployed our mighty warships in the waters all around and amongst Israel’s adversaries. Hard to see how that couldn’t happen, our sacred duty and all. If called upon, they can probably do a lot of damage — though there is plenty of reason to believe that Iran has enough anti-ship cruise missiles to create a big problem for us. Heck, Iran has enough long range conventional guided missiles to turn Haifa and Tel Aviv into ashtrays. But then, five minutes later, the same would be true for Teheran and Damascus, only they’d be radioactive. And who knows what those swarms of moiling migrants in the US and Euroland might be inspired to do, when it comes to that?

Jihad is in the offing. Too many are itching to set it off....

Watching public support grow for rape, murder and torture based on ethnic differences answers the question. “They Thought They Were Free” is recommended reading. Also “Rape of the Mind”.

I second that recommendation.

A fantastic look to understand the inside of what happened in Germany.

"They Thought They Were Free" does not talk about the NAZI-Islam connection, as I recall. Most of the ordinary people did not see it.

There has always been antisemitism in this country it seems, I don’t remember there being much of it. One of my brothers in law is guilty of it, and he raised his son to be that way. Thankfully I don’t have contact with either one of them.

Jews have been persecuted forever, it seems. I’ve always been on the side of Israelis, they have always seemed like the underdogs as far as I can remember.
I was adopted when I was 5 months old, to this day I don’t know who my
biological family are. I did have one of those DNA tests done a few years back.
I have always been told I was Italian. Well, I do have Mediterranean roots, but very little actual Italian. Mostly Greek, Sardinian, and, much to my surprise,
25% Jewish. Roughly 20% Sephardic and 5% Ashkenazi.
It seems that Jews who were In Spain were kicked out by not only Muslims, but the Catholic Church as well. They then migrated throughout the Mediterranean including North Africa, and even Eastern Europe.

Fascinating history.

Not only does today’s antisemitism remind me of 1930s Germany, it’s worse now because it has it reared its ugly head again, but it’s spread to many countries, and tragically to our own colleges and universities.

The Devil has done his work well.

He makes some good points, but the writing style in this piece is most annoying.

Prayers for Israel.

Thats wierd. I see it fine. The meme is very simple. It says:

To clear up any confusion for the morally bankrupt...

Who would Hitler be rooting for right now?

Thanks for playing

Rebuke them soundly. You don't want them to be cast into Gehenna.
