THIS spoof Titania McGrath tweet says what every leftist actually thinks.
President Trump delivered a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
The deal brings peace (however temporarily that proves to be the case).
It means that those who say that Israel is committing genocide or slaughtering the Palestinians cannot say any more that Israel is attacking Gaza. For two years they have said they want an end to Israeli action in Gaza.
Trump, Netanyahu and Israel have just delivered that.
If leftists and Palestinian supporters wanted peace, they have it.
And it’s at tremendous disproportionate advantage to them. As Israel gets back 20 tortured, kidnapped civilians and Hamas gets back nearly 2,000 murderous terrorists, it’s hard to imagine a deal more beneficial for the Palestinians. There’s a 100-1 ratio there, and no parity at all between the people being saved and released:
And what a very bad job of genocide the Israelis have done. By Hamas figures, which are the figures of a terrorist organisation, 67,000 Palestinians have died in two years of determined ‘genocide’. Hamas estimates include teenage terrorists up to 18 as child civilian casualties, even if they were killed while armed and fighting as members of Hamas. It is almost impossible to separate out genuine civilians from their figures because they routinely count active terrorist fighters as civilians. Even doing that, they get to 67,000. That’s out of more than 2million Gazans.
The civilian casualty rate compared with the overall populace, despite these civilians being used as human shields and terrorists being counted as civilians, is the lowest rate ever recorded for densely populated urban warfare with modern artillery and arms.
It’s very easy to find leftist and Muslim accounts, not just from random people but from supposed journalists, politicians and people of influence, boldly stating that hundreds of thousands or even millions (!!) of Palestinians have been killed. Additionally, several mainstream media reports have adopted the habit of referring to the conflict with no reference to October 7 and even with outright claims that the Israelis started the war by attacking Gaza.
Because these are brainwashed people, because they are stupid, and because they are morally diseased. All the Western middle class, whether university lecturers or their purple-haired offspring, who believe that Israel committed genocide and was the aggressor and villain of this war, believe completely delusional things that are easily discredited by any rational awareness. They assume the war was about land and about 1948/9, meaning that Israel ‘started it’.
The war, of course, was not about land in the way they think it was. It wasn’t about Israelis ruling Gaza, because Israel had withdrawn from Gaza in 2005. It wasn’t about Gaza being a ‘concentration camp’, because the Palestinian population was one of the fastest growing in the world. It wasn’t about Palestinians starving, because none of them was starving. It wasn’t about aid or poverty, because the Palestinians receive more financial assistance from abroad, per head of population, than any other population on the planet.
And the leaders of the Palestinians are all billionaires. The leaders of Hamas lived in multi-million-pound penthouse apartments and owned multi-million-pound yachts. The daughter of Yasser Arafat is worth $8billion, lives in Paris, and owns a significant chunk of that city where she is one of its biggest landlords. All this rather strains the definitions by which Palestinians are described as prisoners whose land and wealth has been stolen, let alone by which they are the concentration camp victims of a genocidal enemy.
These are the richest ‘dispossessed’ people in all of human history. Starving Palestinian victims look healthy and even fat. Only captured Israelis looked abused and tortured. These realities were so contrary to the narrative that Greta Thunberg had to use a picture of a starving Israeli hostage to pretend that Palestinians were being mistreated by Israelis.
Several people, including my friend Norman Fenton, have pointed out that the conflict is really about religion, about Islam’s religious war against anyone and everyone non-Muslim. This is of course true. But it being about land is also, ultimately, true. As ever, the claim of a sin (Israeli theft of land) is the reveal of an aim (Islamic and Marxist intent to seize land).
Western useful idiots think it is about Israel having ‘stolen’ Palestinian land seized in 1948/9. All that ignores that no such State as an independent Palestine ever existed, that many Israelis purchased land from Arabs, that Jews were expelled from Arab States, that much of the disputed land was virtually unoccupied at the time of Israel’s re-creation, that ‘Palestinian’ is a KGB designation for Arabs from Egypt, Syria and Jordan who wanted to keep fighting a war they lost 80 years ago, that two-state solutions were offered throughout those 80 years, that Jewish presence on that land started thousands of years before the invention of Islam or the presence of Arabs . . . and on and on.
But it is about land in another sense, and that is this.
Islam cannot tolerate any land that has ever been even nominally Islamic, at any point, becoming non-Islamic. That contradicts the entire promise of Islam, which is a promise of world conquest.
Modern Israel is the only example of any area in the very heartland of Islamic dominance that has ever escaped it. Greece, Spain, Portugal, the Balkans, even large parts of Russia, were once under Muslim rule and escaped it. But the Middle East and Near East is where Islam was born, and where it first expanded. Israel is ‘close to home’. Look at a map and you see it surrounded by Muslim nations, all of which were once non-Muslim. Its existence humiliates Islam, and support for the terrorist-permanent refugee population of ‘the Palestinians’ is automatic for hundreds of millions of Muslims based on the need to erase a humiliating contradiction of Islam’s right to world conquest.
Israel is a proxy, and so are the Palestinians. Most Arab States despise and fear the ‘Palestinians’. They know that it’s all fake, that the whole cause could have been given up 80 years ago. They know it’s not really about resistance for an oppressed people. They don’t want Palestinians in their nations because even with a shared Islamic belief in world conquest these people are blatantly dangerous and untrustworthy.
That’s why many Muslim and Arab nations officially condemn the Israelis, but secretly work with them, or officially support the Palestinians, while making sure they can’t settle in any neighbouring Islamic state.
In the West, the Palestinian cause is also about land and conquest. And also in the opposite way to the ones that leftists suppose.
It’s about the Conquest of the West. Marxist conquest, using Islam as a weapon. Islamic conquest, using Marxism as a weapon. Both sure that they are the hand on the sword, both aiming at innocent necks.
Marxists have aligned with Islam because Islam provides their best means of conquering the Western world and harming and destroying the Western world. The ‘Palestinian cause’ is a Marxist invention cementing the shared leftist and the Islamic desire for total conquest and shared hatred of the West. Of course it doesn’t end with a ceasefire, because for both the war is permanent until they have replaced Western populations, replaced Western values, replaced and destroyed the West and any of its differences from the Islamic Third World:
Immediately after the ceasefire, after two years of ‘stop the genocide’ and ‘stop the bloodshed’ came another pro-Palestinian march in the UK. So the marches were never about ending the war. They didn’t want peace. They want the erasure of Israel. So as long as Israel exists, they keep protesting. Do you know what would happen if Israel didn’t exist? They would keep protesting.
It’s about Muslim jihad and Marxist revolution, neither of which is, in Corbyn’s phrase, ‘ever going away’. For them, ‘justice’ means total war until total victory. Peace is an aberration, an impediment, a thing it is useful to demand only when it doesn’t exist.
It is Terror that is their real delight and comfort, not Peace. It is Conquest that is their real aim, not Justice. And it is Death that advances their causes, always, not Life. What is called a thirst for justice can never be met or satisfied by any concession, any ceasefire or any peace, not really, because it is in actuality a thirst for conquest, a hunger for Death, and a determination never to stop until nothing but itself exists.
