On Hamas

If Arab nationalists had a reasonable argument against the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, which they did not, any such argument has since been invalidated by the subsequently self proclaimed Palestinians crimes and terrorism. They are like the Noldor in Tolkein's Silmarillion who have fallen under the Prophecy of The North and the Doom of Mandos.

The crimes of Hamas and its supporters exceed those of the Nazis in their depravity. It proved hard but possible after the Holocaust for the German people to rejoin the community of nations. While the poisons of Totalitarianism and Racism that National Socialism fostered can never be completely eradicated, and indeed preceded that movement, sincere efforts to repudiate them merit acknowledgement. Also in its 12 year rule the NSDAP did not sink roots deep enough to eliminate opposition and the legacy of an alternative culture that could be restored and built upon.

Among the Arabs who identify as Palestinian the situation is far worse, and indeed it is worse than it was some 55 years ago when the KGB sponsored the creation of a Palestinian identity, separate from Jordanian Egyptian Syrian or Lebanese, as a permanant source of conflict. Not just Israel but no nation, Jewish Christian Secular or indeed even Muslim, can exist at peace with a nation that rejects every concept of tolerance restraint law decency or humanity. If the seeds of an alternative set of values still exist among the Palestinians of Gaza, and in the West Bank where polls indicate that if the Authority under Abbas were to allow an election then Hamas would win, and in the camps controlled by Hezbollah in Lebanon, then only through the comprehensive defeat of Hamas could a path open for the repudiation of the culture of death. Only then could a possible future for the descendants of the Arabs who migrated to lands between the river and the sea in the 19th and 20th centuries based on peace decency and respect be found for them as citizens of whatever country they may come to.

"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
- Martin Luther King Jr.


Wretchard T. Cat:
"Most people have been brought up to be civil to a fault, to avoid making a public spectacle at all costs and in extremis to walk away rather than be openly disagreeable. This is a civic virtue in a high trust society.
But in a tribal society the rules are different."

Reading about the NYPD "Sheltering" in Grand Central Station with the pro-Hamas mob baying outside and the French government caving to the Islamists and demanding that Israel stop hunting the monsters who hide behind women and children and under a hospital after they murdered babies in the most depraved ways imaginable I wondered what would happen if people did resort to vigilantism and if the Israelis did use their own clandestine forces to destroy the sanctuaries their enemies have formed in societies no longer able to defend themselves?

Hamas, which is part of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), is engaged in Insurrection and Invasion. It is not a Law Enforcement problem but a military threat that uses women and children as strategic and tactical assets.

Radical mob insurrections in the Arab world have been marked by savagery and butchery. In 1958 KIng Faisal II of Iraq, the cousin of King Hussein of Jordan the father of the current king of Jordan, was deposed by a secular coup. The king and his family and his Prime Minister were killed, their bodies were mutilated and desecrated and dragged through the streets. In 2011 Islamists chanting "God is Great" sodomized Muammar Gadaffi with a bayonet before shooting him.

The MB is banned in Egypt and Jordan and in many other countries. The population of Gaza overwhelmingly support Hamas. While it was flawed the election of 2006 did result in a win for Hamas. In 2007 the coalition with the PA broke down and in a civil war Hamas seized control of Gaza. Since then they have ruled through terror and used Gaza as a platform for attacking Israel, and threatening the government of Egypt and the PA on the West Bank. The have refined using the plight of the population that they have caused to extort aide from the Israelis that they attacking. Aide which is then diverted to enable a greater military threat. All opposition has beenkilled or expelled and the population by all reports is both dependant on and supportive of Hamas.

The governments of Egypt and Jordan are determined to keep the population of Gaza in place and out of their countries. This is not due to an attachment to the Geneva Conventions prohibiting displacing civilians that have been routinely ignored in other cases. The insistance that they remain in Gaza, where they have and will launched not just military attacks but terrorism of unspeakable sadistic horror, is due to their determination not to expose their nations to the same horror. They believe with good reason that if they admit the population of Hamas and its supporters then they, the leaders of Egypt and Jordan and their supporters, will die and that their people will be subject to a bloody tyranny.

What will happen if the Hamas terror is met by terror and identified perpetrators and supporters of violence against Jews are killed? Would the NYPD vigorously pursue the cases? Would the federal government flood the city to protect the Muslim community, and impose restrictions on Jews? What if the violence escalated and 200,000 Muslims, open Hamas supporters and women and children, declare that NYC is not safe for them and they begin marching en masse across the George Washington Bridge to New Jersey? If those people were to be permitted to enter NJ then all of the cultural social and legal protections would be swept away and a sharia compliant system would replace it.

Who would stop them and How?

On Racial Identities




I owe decency to individuals. As members of a hostile community I don't owe Blacks a damn thing. As a group they have been badly served by "Leaders" who have been corrupt tools of the racists who exploit them. Given that they are a shrinking and not very influential part of the larger society, with above average expressions of social pathologies, I see no reason to invest in promoting the affiliation of people with that identity group. If individuals in response to normal decent treatment affiliate with and identify with productive communities then that would merit support and encouragement.

The question then is what is meant by "Black" as a social group. If it means identifying with Racism Misogyny Antisemitism and violent and criminal behavior then that does not merit support encouragement or tolerance. If it means a group recently arrived in the United States from some backwards and repressive place, which can be applied I think to those grandchildren of slaves who left the former plantations and moved to America in the 20th century, then they deserve neither more nor less support than anyone else. The vast majority of Americans, Jews Germans Italians Greeks Slavs Asians etc are the children of people who migrated to the US from nasty places after the Civil War but before the children and grandchildren of the former slaves left the plantations. Subsequent arrivals by Hispanics, East Asians, East Europeans, South Asians and others add to the overwhelming majority who have their own legacies of oppression that they came to America to escape and who have no connection to any injustice that the ancestors of Blacks faced.

The only people that the Blacks may have had claim against were the minority of Whites in the Slavocracy of the South who used slaves to compete with free white labor. The great great great grandchildren of that group are often found among the Democratic Party elite that still exploits Blacks as an identity group. Indeed some of them are themselves Black, notably Barack Obama. Even the Wasps of the North should not be any logical target for claims advanced by advocates of collective guilt.

What the Left uses the nurtured sense of grievance and entitlement and alienation in the Black community to advance is a general criticism of Capitalism. The thoroughly irrational argument is that since the Jews Italians Russians Wasps etc all benefited from Capitalism in America and the slaves suffered then everyone owes the descendants of the slaves. That is ridiculous on many levels but first because the above mentioned Slavocracy was not a Capitalist society. Indeed that is why a Civil War at the cost of 600,000 dead, proportionately over 6 Million if fought in today's America, had to be fought and to free the slaves.
