The battle-lines for preservation of Western civilization were drawn long before the murder of the Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh in 2004. The double-dealing actions of many European leaders have been endlessly available for all to see.
Now, both the US and Israel -- in their quest to stop the indefatigable enemies of the West and maintain free trade, democracy, and military deterrence against these predators – have found themselves thwarted. By whom? By their "allies," no less: Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
These nations, along with Norway, Denmark, Slovenia and Canada, have imposed sanctions, restrictions, and punitive measures of various sorts against Israel during its efforts to defend itself -- and them! -- against enemies of civilisation and the West. The threat, with ballistic missiles, was to come from Iran, about to achieve nuclear weapons capabilityin two weeks or less, as well as from the regime's proxy jihadist forces, Hezbollah, the Houthis.
Similar measures, designed to frustrate the Israel-America coalition against an openly predatory Iran, seem to have arisen from two main sources. The first has been theanti-democraticinfluence of Islam in the domestic affairs of Western Europe; the second, from a deep-seated anti-Semitic doctrine in Europe, now more present than ever – and being strongly reinforced.
Jews been unwelcome wherever they were since the time of the Pharaohs 4000 years ago. Jews have been expelled by theBabyloniansin 597 BCE, theRomansin 136 CE, theEnglishin 1290, theFrenchin 1306, and the Spanish in 1492.
Since the atrocities of the Holocaust in the 1940s, when Germany and much of Western Europe sent Jews to camps to be tortured, starved and murdered, hatred of the Jews seemed to have lain dormant.
Now, Jew-hate in the West -- thanks to a widespread alliance betweenneo-Marxists,climate activistsandIslamist propagandists– has once again become unashamedly "normalised" and mainstreamed -- even, in some quarters, quite popular.
Discord between Western allies -- ostensibly due to contrasting views towards Islam and Israel -- has recently escalated to a new height. Its core most likely consists of a deep-seated envy that a handful of scruffy, hunted people managed to transform an unpromising malaria swamp into a gleaming superpower -- all while defending themselves against unrelenting neighbouring countries trying to snuff them out. Such an achievement must, of course, be punished. First, the Western alliance of40 nationsimposed sanctions on Israel while it was defending not only its own existence but theirs as well. These were immediately followed by revived demands to establish a belligerent Palestinian state directly on Israel's border, despite Palestinians themselves having rejected the offer of both a Palestinian state and a "two-state solution"sixtimes in favor of aonestate solution "from the [Jordan] river to the [Mediterranean] sea": all of Israel.
The purpose of these nations was apparently to benefit an ostensible "people" who not only admit to having being "invented, " but who for decades have been unabashedly committed toannihilatingIsrael. Asproposedby the US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee,
"If France is really so determined to see a Palestinian state, I have a suggestion for them — carve out a piece of the French Riviera and create a Palestinian state. They are welcome to do that, but they are not welcome to impose that kind of pressure on a sovereign nation."
