Nation Building’s Last Stand In Gaza
New American Prophet ^ | May 28, 2024 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 05/28/2024 10:25:34 AM PDT by Rev M. Bresciani

Rafah isn’t just the last stand for Hamas, but for an entire foreign policy establishment.

The desperate effort to keep Israeli soldiers from going into the last Gaza stronghold of the Islamic terrorist organization is about more than the sum of the geopolitical parts.

After nation building failed in Afghanistan and Iraq, and everywhere else it’s been tried, the radioactive ‘Palestinian’ nation building experiment from over 30 years ago is its last hope.

the author is correct, nobody’s been able to create or help create a civilized nation out of Satanic savages, certainly USA/UK/France haven’t been able to do it

there’s something in the way Moslem religion is preached that turns what I assume were once normal people into these bloodthirsty savage beasts

the Moslem preachers need to be civilized or removed, for starters

I understand your perspective, but I think it buys right into Greenfield’s point that “nation-building” should never be a part of counterinsurgency actions. With the caveat that nothing is impossible for God, thinking Muslim preachers can be civilized is a fool’s errand.

You cannot build a nation out of anarchy and chaos. Somalia, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, Rwanda, Libya, Syria just being a few examples.................

US can’t do it. Israel only has a shot if it starts with a slate cleaned of Hamas.

“nobody’s been able to create or help create a civilized nation out of Satanic savages”

Except SOUTH AFRICA. At least for about 100 years. Until Mandella came along. Then it went to sh#t.

The biggest problem in most Muslim countries is that 2/3 or more of their population is illiterate. If you can not read or write or even do basic math then it is hard to build almost anything.

Hence the destruction of the inner cities of the USA. Most kids in the inner cities are basically illiterate and can not do basic math. Except how many bullets go into a Glock.

Maybe that is why Aruba, Bonaire and Curaco are still nice.

The real anomaly in the western Hemisphere is the Dominican Republic and Haiti. One is a developing country. The other is the worst hell hole in the maybe the world.

understood, it is shocking how the Haitians can’t get a decent government there (same for us here)

Venezuela was the second wealthiest country in the Western Hemisphere back in the 1970/1980s. Before Chavez and the socialist/commies took over.

I remember a neighbor had two Venezuelan exchange students back in the 1970s. They taught us how to play “football” (soccer). One taught me to keep me mouth closed when I head butted the ball so that I would not bite my tongue. They were both intelligent young men.

What is a stark comparison is to look at the map of Hispaniola Island from a satellite view. The Haiti side of the island is almost completely deforested in comparison to the Dominican side. That is because on the Haiti side they chop down the trees for wood for cooking.

"there's something in the way the Moslem is preached ..." NO, it IS the Muslim religion.

apparently so.

there are some seriously problematical verses for non- Muslims in their Korans, stuff about killing or subjugating us for starters

it has definitely proven incompatible with free societies

yes.
Venezuela went to Hell when the commie/leftist regime took over

it is similarly dismal under almost all commie/nazi/leftist regimes
