The West Has a Chance to Defeat the New Nazism

[E. Pluribus Unum]

May the West be stirred out of its suicidal slumber and its loss of purpose.

The post-World War II order was meant to be post war simpliciter — to complete the job not done in the Great War of having made a war to end wars. In place of an effectual the League of Nations, the United Nations (the name the Allies gave themselves as they fought Hitler) were to preside in a united way over the peace.

It shouldn’t have happened. And it need not again if Israel succeeds and we ally ourselves with its aim.

How Stalin, whose alliance with Hitler made World War II possible, could ever be a partner in peace was a question never answered.

Underlying the dream of a world united under an international peacekeeping organization was the idea that Nazism had been fully laid to rest. The politics of the world had been purged of Nazi hatred. The organization could be given power to keep the peace because that was all anyone wanted.

Aside from the fact that Stalinism was as murderous as Hitlerism, despite the fact that Stalin only arrived at exterminationist antisemitism in his last days, Hitlerism itself had not been fully rooted out. As Douglas Murray noted in his latest book, on the shelves of nearly every home he saw in Gaza was a copy of Mein Kampf. Nazi propaganda had targeted the Middle East. Nazi strategy envisioned a gigantic pincer extending down from the Caucasus in the north and swooping up, under Rommel, from the Nile Valley in the south, by which the British and the Jews would together be extinguished from the Middle East.

Silly me. I thought surely they must be talking about the Azov battalion.

I figured they were talking about the Muslims. A lot of the Muslim world was allied with the NAZIs during WWII.
