The problem is...The problem has never been reality. The problem is, for us, Jew hatred first and hated and fear of everything the west has accomplished in the last 500 years secondarily. We are long past the point of Bernard Lewis' somewhat rhetorical, "What Went Wrong?". We know what went wrong we know what reality looks like. They hate loathe and despise Jews and want them all exterminated. And after that they want anyone else who's not just like them to be likewise exterminated. That they've found an eager, some would say even rabidly slavish following in the west among the far left and far right shouldn't shock anyone since that is largely what they have always stood for as well. Totalitarianism is what it is, it's followers are who they are. But like the Jews of Weimar Germany we, sitting in the most affluent, educated, sophisticated, aesthetic cultures in the history of the world utterly refuse to see maniacal Jew hatred and totalitarianism for what it is, for what it says it is, plainly. That's the problem. <br /><br />In 50 years long after I'm gone and the oil peters out, the mid east will be a huge Somalia with brigands and warlords killing each other and the innocents over bags of rice and who gets to pirate the ships sailing by. It will make Thunderdome look like a documentary. And if there is still an Israel in the middle of that, the 'liberals' and 'libertarians' in the west will blame THAT on the Jews too.Empress Trudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06073538968722986065noreply@blogger.com
