Netanyahu and Scholz: Hamas must be eliminated

“We have no future if Hamas, which is determined to carry out genocide against us, remains intact,” stressed the Israeli head of government.

March 17, 2024

After a conversation with the German Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD), Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu explains that he and his German guest are in agreement that “Hamas must be eliminated”.

There will be no peace as long as the Islamist terror organization remains in the Gaza Strip, said Netanyahu on Sunday in a joint press conference with Scholz in Jerusalem. “We have no future if Hamas, which is determined to carry out genocide against us, remains intact.”

On Friday Netanyahu approved a ground offensive in the town of Rafah on the Egyptian border. Before a planned offensive in Rafah, the civilian population will be brought to safety, Netanyahu said. Israel is also undertaking every effort to enable aid deliveries for the people in the Gaza Strip, “over land, over sea, and from the air.”

At a meeting with Netanyahu, Scholz emphasized that Israel has the right to defend itself against the terror of Islamist Hamas. At the same time, he expressed doubts as to the military action of Israel in the Gaza war in view of the high victim toll. He urged Netanyahu to rethink his strategy in the Gaza Strip.

In the five months or so of the war, the number of civilian victims has reached an extremely high level. “Many would say too high,” said Scholz. “No matter how important the goal may be, can such a terribly high cost be justified, or are there other ways to reach this goal?” Scholz asked.

Scholz arrived in Israel for a visit on the same day, the second since the start of the Gaza war on October 7.

In addition to Netanyahu, Scholz wanted to meet with President Isaac Herzog and Minister Benny Gantz, as well as relatives of hostages. It is believed that there are still about 100 of them alive. He previously met with Jordanian King Abdullah II in the Jordanian seaside resort of Akaba.

The federal Chancellor first traveled to Israel ten days after the Hamas attack to assure the nation of German solidarity. “Israel’s security and that of its citizens is a German state interest,” he said then. “Our responsibility growing out of the Holocaust makes it our duty to stand for the security and the existence of Israel.”

A Small Country Far Away

Our Israeli correspondent MC sends an update from Sderot, preceded by a reflection on the history of appeasement.


British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain shakes hands with German Chancellor Adolf Hitler in Munich, September 1938

A Small Country Far Away

by MC

Most people who are blind to Hamas’ atrocities probably think along the lines of Israel being “a small nation, far away”, with little understanding that Hamas is only as far away as the nearest CAIR or Muslim Council office. When Chamberlain waved his piece of paper in 1938, everybody (except the Czechs) heaved a sigh of relief.

What the world did not understand was that the Nazis (and all other socialists) are liars, and deceit is part and parcel of being a social humanist as well as being an Islamist.

Lying is a natural way of life. One reason the Ten Commandments were so revolutionary was that they forbade both ‘false witness’ and murder.

A corollary to the Ten Commandments and Torah is that every word and action that we take adds to or changes Creation and thus can we be judged at the appropriate time.

Kibbutz Beeri was a ‘socialist’ kibbutz as kibbutzim go, but Hamas is no respecter of any Western political nuances. The ‘useful idiots’ are always disposable once they become ‘useless idiots’, maybe even dangerous idiots, because they think they are deserving of rewards and privileges.

Both Communism and Nazism had the tendency to make that reward a bullet in the back of the neck…

Jews have been with us for some thousands of years. Thus there must be something unique behind Jewish culture. Those who do not believe that God is behind that culture should appreciate that there must be something special at the root of Judaism that makes it so persistent.

Secular humanists should take note: Socialism failed in France and turned to mass murder. It failed in Russia and turned to mass murder. It failed in Germany and turned to mass murder. Same with Cambodia and Cuba. Chinese communism resorted to mass murder even before firmly in power.

Is there a noticeable trend here? One would think not, judging by the avidity with which people try to repeat the socialist ‘experiment’ and hope for different results.

But Islam is probably the biggest mass slaughterer of all time, and we call it a “Religion of Peace”. Is this existential irony a part of that same insanity?

Those Ivy League universities which allow the persecution of Jews because woke-fake propaganda says that Jews are colonialists and settlers should read the real history of Israel and the Jews. The idea of the modern “Jewish Homeland” entered international law with the San Remo treaty in 1922. This treaty was included in the United Nations Charter under article 80, so EVERY signatory of the United Nations Charter accepted that Israel has the right to exist.

Gaza and “Judea and Samaria” were illegally occupied by Egypt and Jordan respectively when the world left Israel to the wolves and vultures in the 1948 War of Independence, when the Arab world tried to continue the work of the Holocaust, but were beaten back.

There has always been Jewish occupation of the land. If you dig a hole in Israel you find mainly Jewish, but also Roman, Philistine or Canaanite remains, but not ‘Palestinian’, because the current iteration of ‘Palestine’ was only invented in 1963.

Ruction at the Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam

The National Holocaust Museum was officially opened in Amsterdam on Sunday, but the occasion did not go off without a hitch. Massed pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered outside the building, chanting slogans and attacking the police. The protesters specifically objected to the presence of Israeli President Isaac Herzog at the ceremony.

The video below gives a brief account of what happened. Many thanks to Gary Fouse for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation for the subtitling:

Below is an article from Algemeen Dagblad about the confrontation at the Holocaust Museum, also translated by Gary Fouse:

Holocaust museum opened in grim atmosphere, riot police have to keep demonstrators away

Update: King Willem-Alexander was greeted with boos today upon his arrival at the Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam and at his departure. The atmosphere in the demonstration on Waterloo Square became grim. Demonstrators are angry over the presence of the Israeli President, Isaac Herzog. Thirteen demonstrators were arrested.

Domestic editorial staff, March 10

During the condoning off between Waterloo Square and Visserplein in Amsterdam by police, several demonstrators climbed onto the police buses that were set up as a cordon. The police beat them away with batons. Later, the activists set off fireworks. Those flew over the cordon that police put up there.

Demonstrators then threw fireworks and eggs over the police buses at the police. On the buses, the demonstrators glued pamphlets with the head of the Israeli president, Isaac Herzog, with the text: “Wanted”.

Groups of demonstrators challenged each other in front of the door of the Holocaust Museum. A group of Palestinian supporters shouted slogans such as “shame on you” to a dozen pro-Israel demonstrators in an adjacent section. Who, for their part, defiantly waved Israeli flags.

In the pro-Israel section hangs a banner with photos of people who were abducted on October 7. The police come between both parties to calm the mood down. The atmosphere has now become grim. Police buses were shaken back and forth by demonstrators.

Around 3pm peace is restored in Amsterdam. A total of 13 demonstrators were arrested. The arrests were carried out, among other things, for disturbing public order and vandalism, such as throwing rocks and the destruction of a police bus. All suspects are still in custody and are being questioned, the police report. Among the suspects is a minor, according to a spokesperson.

Herzog calls for the hostages to be freed

In his speech at the opening of the Holocaust Museum, Herzog called for the release of Jewish hostages being held in Gaza. He feels that the Holocaust Museum is a reminder of “the horrors that come from anti-Semitism”. “Hate and anti-Semitism are now flourishing worldwide.” Herzog also said in his speech that “too many Dutch people” helped the Nazis, but he also spoke of the Dutch people who protected persecuted Jews.

King Willem-Alexander said in his speech at the opening of the National Holocaust Museum that “people must remain aware how the Holocaust began and how it went from bad to worse.” He described how the Sobibor Extermination Camp “began with a sign in the Vondelpark” on which was written “Forbidden for Jews”.

“This museum shows us how it happened, not so long ago,” said Willem-Alexander. The king presented a mezuzah to the great-granddaughter of the Holocaust survivor Rudie Cortissos. A mezuzah is a text casing with a fragment from the Torah, which according to Jewish customs, is placed on the doorpost of a Jewish home. Upon his arrival and departure from the Holocaust Museum, the king was treated to boos.

Protesters outside could be heard clearly in the synagogue as Willem-Alexander spoke. In the house of worship the chants of the protesters could be heard. What exactly they were yelling was not clear.

Inflection Point: Biden Administration Must Pander to the Muslim Vote

The following report by Clare Lopez was published earlier this month by Sharia TipSheet.

Inflection Point: Biden Administration Must Pander to the Muslim Vote

by Clare M. Lopez

Topping the list this month has to be the Biden administration’s desperate outreach to Michigan Muslims in a must-win state it fears he may lose over his support of Israel. In early February 2024, Biden’s White House sent a clutch of senior officials to Michigan to listen to the foreign policy demands of Muslim voters there. No evidence the Biden admin’s groveling swayed any of Michigan’s Muslim electorate, but its shameful public appeasement certainly showed our ally Israel — and the rest of the world, friends and enemies alike — what its pledges of friendship really mean.

  • [Editor’s Note — A former French President expressed support for Israel, but retracted it after one of his ministers pointed out the fact that France has a lot of Muslim residents and expressing support for Israel was no longer smart as a matter of domestic politics. It appears the Democrat Party in the U.S. has reached the same inflection point.]

Blind Spots

MC has some thoughts on the ongoing Islamic conquest of the West, plus an update on the situation in Sderot.

Blind Spots

by MC

The ‘civilized’ world has a huge blind spot: the Islamic propensity for violence (and deceit).

Most religions seek peace and personal fulfilment, but violence does happen from time to time when religion becomes political, as happened to Christianity in the 16th and 17th centuries. The 30 Years’ War was particularly bloody. The wars of the 20th century were not ‘religious’ as such, but were driven by political desires for Lebensraum. The First World War started when Austria tried to annex Serbia using the assassination of the Arch Duke Ferdinand in Sarajevo (Bosnia) as an excuse. Serbia was guilty until proven innocent, but whilst Serbian factions were definitely involved, nobody has implicated the Serbian government. 9/11 was carried out mainly by Saudi factions; does that make the Saudis liable?

It is a mistake to see the different Islamic countries as separate entities. They are much more like the tribes of pre-Columbian America: brutal, squalid, and greedy for their neighbour’s land and women. They fight amongst themselves, but all combine to fight the infidel when necessary.

On October 7, Islamists from Gaza, of mainly Egyptian origin (but members of the Hamas ruling clique) tried to invade Israel. Yet this is only part of a bigger and more dangerous problem that Europe in particular does not see coming or does not perceive to be a problem. After all, for a secular humanist, ‘religion’ is just a label, and one can conform with the rituals but otherwise remain unchanged in one’s belief in mankind as god. And anyway, one can always pay the jizya (protection money). The Islamic world on the whole applauded the atrocity. Why? Because Hamas did exactly what the Koran tells all Muslims to do.

At its peak, the Islamic world stretched from Delhi in India to the gates of Vienna and the border areas of Spain and France. Islamic pirates stopped all trade in the Mediterranean area and sent their slavers as far as northern Europe in search of human livestock as slaves. Rape is not a crime in Islam. If a female is unguarded by a male, she may be legally assaulted, because women are not considered to be ‘people’ but rather possessions. It is this doctrine we are inviting into our midst, and there is no mechanism for Islam to either reform or conform. So lock up your daughters.

Islam conquered northern Africa and totally wiped out the peaceful Christian communities there. No mercy was shown; Islam wanted a ‘Christian-free zone’.

The deceit? Islam claims to be a victim of the ‘crusading’ and ‘colonising’ West, but this is all dishonest projection in its worst form. Yet our academics and leaders appear to fall for it every time. The Koran describes Jews as ‘pigs and apes’ to be executed, taken as slaves, or put into dhimmitude (financial slavery).

Most of these policymakers seem to have ulterior motives, but many are simply intimidated. Muslims howl with rage and take to the streets when they feel that their ‘honour’ or that of their (dead) prophet has been violated. They are a virulent militia pretending to be a religion of peace. In France, they ambush and murder schoolteachers who do not kowtow to the Islamic revisions of history. The government does nothing.

The aims of the New World Order and of Islam are currently compatible. Among those aims are the total eradication of Judeo-Christianity, and world domination. Each thinks it can control the other in the final battle.

My brother, a socialist and party member, supported the EU because, as he claimed, that it would prevent any new European war…

He still has the same hope 40 years later. Personally, I think the EU is a good recipe for war, but that is just an opinion.

Islam has been the enemy of the USA for centuries and was the raison d’être of the US Marine Corps. But ‘oil politics’ always prevails. The NWO wants the USA dependant on Islam for oil, hence one of O’Biden’s first acts was to undo President Trump’s oil self-sufficiency programmes.


Barbary Wars 1804: Navy Lieutenant Stephen Decatur Boarding Tripolitan Gunboat, by DM Carter

Islam is a hierarchical system where the peons are little better than the many chattel slaves that are an intrinsic (and current) part of Islamic culture. There is no individualism amongst the peons; they are effectively imprisoned in clan and tribal tradition, and kept in place by religious police. Islamic royalty live secret lives of hedonism hidden behind high walls.

Yet this sick culture is coming to almost the whole of Europe. Islam is the blind spot of their belief in secular humanist multiculturalism. They think it is a compliant benign religious culture, when in reality it is an armed and ruthless conquering power.

Unintended Consequences

In addition to an update on Sderot, MC’s latest essay discusses the sequelae of late-stage socialism.

Socialism always involves spending more money (usually other people’s) than the socialist entity can afford, which in turn increases poverty, and, in many cases results in a goodly proportion of the economy being driven by debt and slavery, and the need to eliminate those ‘useless eaters’.

As the Nazis (National Socialists) swept through Poland, they arrested young (mainly Catholic) men and herded them into (slave) Labour Camps, with many ending up in the notorious Auschwitz labour camp.

We are taught about Auschwitz in its later role as a death camp, but before it was a death camp (1944) with massive extermination facilities, it was a huge labour camp where young men and PoWs were put to hard and cruel work. Many had to work alongside the Jewish inmates in housed in the notorious Birkenau camps and were exposed to the same radiation and toxic substances such as mercury and cadmium. There was no ‘health and safety’ for Polish slave labour.

Conditions in these camps were primitive, food was scarce, and many did not survive. Nearly as many Poles and Slavs generally died in the camps as did Jews, Gypsies and Christians (Jehovah’s Witnesses and Evangelicals).

Socialism is expensive, and the Nazis needed to rob Piotr to pay Paulus.

The unintended consequence of Nazism was eventually total and utter defeat as the Anglophone and Communist world turned on Nazi Germany and its vile excesses. Germany needed the slaves and the treasuries of Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland to pay for the ‘welfare’ of the ‘master race’

Is this a familiar picture?

Wokism is Nazism with colour, and although many of the people of Israel are ‘non-white’ they are still Jooz, and thus honorary ‘white supremacists’.

Someone out there is bankrolling ‘Wokism’, bribing people of influence to ignore the rape and murder, the baking of babies and the kidnapping of children. I assume that the usual rent-a-mob has been well-rewarded for their efforts across the civilized world.


Staff sergeant Abraham Wovagen fell in battle in Gaza

Of course, Wokism, is like any other socialist venture, and is a total anachronism. Under Wokism, the white liberal establishment, ‘the deep state’, keep their jobs and their power and their patronistic mentality whilst paying lip service to skin colour prejudice. Jim Crow is back in the form of D’avon Pidgeon. This time Jews or people with white skins are the victims. It is thus acceptable to our elites, even while it is still deeply racist. But in a world that has adopted secular humanism as its main belief system, there are no depths to which a progressive liberal will not sink in order to get their ‘moment in the sun’.

The New York Governor Kathy Hochul thought she had a ‘gotcha’ moment when a dubious and victimless ‘fraud’ case against President Trump brought about an egregious fine. But now the Governor has to try and stem the flood of money out of New York City, real estate, banking and other finance business interests are fleeing the state, in her rush to put one over on the Donald, she and her cronies crossed a line. She blasphemed the rule of law and made President Trump a special case where opinion and emotion were substituted for the required blindness of Justice. There is no justice in a banana republic, only whimsy. The woke New York governor now seems to be panicking because she has destroyed vital business confidence — “Who next?”, one must think. Who next might become a ‘special case’? Is it still safe to trade with New York City-based businesses? Is the state going to use lawfare to solve its deep, deep deficit problems?

Hochul forgot decency in her zeal to be the first get a Trump conviction. There are always unintended consequences when the ends justify the means. I also suspect that she has, by her actions, put the Donald in the White House for the next four years. Overzealous Democrats have only one option left.

Shilling for Hamas in the Flemish Parliament

Yesterday a session of the Flemish parliament was disrupted by the antics of a pro-Palestinian mob. Below are a video and an accompanying article about the day’s entertaining events.

Flemish Parliament suspended by pro-Palestinian protest — Military police have to intervene

The Flemish Parliament plenary was disrupted Wednesday by a pro-Palestinian protest. A few dozen activists at a certain moment began chanting slogans, throwing pamphlets into the chamber, and waving Palestinian flags. The activists were removed by military police, and the plenary was suspended for about ten minutes.

February 21, 2024

Just after 3 pm, the Flemish Parliament plenary was suddenly disrupted by activists who chanted pro-Palestinian slogans from the public gallery. They referred to the “30,000 dead” who have died in Gaza and chanted, “Not in our name” and “Boycott ZIM. [ZIM is the Israeli shipping company mentioned as the transporter of Israeli weapons, also through Antwerp.]

In their pamphlet, the activists called for the “immediate halt” of all trade with Israel and “primarily the sale and transport of weapons and ammunition to this criminal nation.” “You are elected to be the people’s representatives and have the responsibility to avoid any involvement in the genocide,” it said.

[Caption above video: Look: Vlaams Belang Parliament leader Sam Van Rooy waves a small Israeli flag as counter-protest.]

Complaint for disturbing public order

Liesbeth Homans (N-VA), the chairperson of the Flemish Parliament, suspended the meeting and asked the military police to remove the visitors. Vlaams Belang [Flemish Interest] Parliament member Sam Van Rooy went with a small Israeli flag in his hand to confront the activists. The session was resumed around 3:20pm.

A complaint was filed by the Parliament against the activists for disruption of public order. The activists all had to show their identity cards, but they were returned afterwards.

Targeting Jews in Belgium

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from Dutch-language Jewish news outlet Joods Actueel:

Belgian Jews in a bind

January 30, 2024

Is the situation for Jews in Belgium worrying? Unfortunately, that would be an understatement. It is five minutes to midnight, maybe five minutes after midnight. Worst of all, the policymakers are complicit in the alarming increase in anti-Zionism and Jew-hatred.

by Jonath Weinberger

Each day, Jews in Belgium are confronted in a painful way by the war in Israel. The Palestinian flags waving everywhere and the painstaking distribution of “Free Palestine” stickers are part of the street scene in many Belgian cities these days. Thus, Jews are constantly reminded of the horrors of October 7. Many are regularly harassed by chants of “Free Palestine” or even worse— the genocidal tune, “From the river to the sea”.

In education as well, Jewish students no longer feel safe because they are spoken to in a reproachful tone about the conflict in Gaza. In some schools, anti-Israel pamphlets are even distributed. Other schools organize a minute of silence for the victims in Gaza. But not one word, nor a minute of silence for the more than 1,000 slaughtered men, women, and children on the Israeli side. Nowhere is there a demand for the innocent Israeli hostages to be released.

In Ghent, a group of family doctors decided to boycott Israeli medicines. They called on colleagues and pharmacists to follow their example. “Kauft nicht by Juden” (In German: Don’t buy from Jews”)

Even parties can no longer be held without Palestinian propaganda. The Flemish opening event in Mechelen, on the occasion of the Belgian EU presidency, was disrupted by pro-Palestinian activists. A poet proclaimed pro-Palestinian messages, and from the audience sounded “From the river to the sea.” When the singer Laura Tesoro took her turn on the stage, things got no better. On the contrary, by waving a Palestinian flag on the stage, she excited the visitors even more. A well-organized group of activists succeeded in hijacking the public space with a misleading, one-sided campaign. The brutal, murderous attack on October 7 on a music festival, among others, and several kibbutzes has completely disappeared from view, just like the hostages.

Jihad expert

The one-sidedness of the reporting of the Flemish broadcast is striking here. They invited almost exclusively pro-Palestinian activists, who got an open forum to spread their hate and lies. The extremist Abou Jahjah, a sympathizer with the terrorist Hezbollah movement, had no problem in questioning whether Hamas had actually committed the horrors of October 7. This Lebanese-Belgian extremist has now established his own political movement; the ideas of the party are easy to guess. Jahjah refuses to call Hamas a terrorist movement. And the Arabist, Montasser AlDe’emeh — a self-described jihad expert — shows his extremist side and is allowed to make a number of completely out-of-the-blue accusations against Israel on TV without any critical questions. By allowing the other side in this conflict barely a word, the public broadcast not only makes a serious mistake but also fails to calm the whipped-up mood.

You see this on the street, where the anti-Jewish violence is increasing. It varies from deliberate pokes while jogging to being dragged off a bicycle. On January 13, a 19-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of illegal weapons possession and preparing for a terrorist attack. Friends of Palestine come down hard when Jews buy products from Israel. Absolutely no form of intimidation or act of violence is shunned.

And then, as a well-meaning, concerned fellow human being, you expect politicians to take hard action against the increasing Jew-hatred in our society. Alas, with few exceptions, there is a deafening silence in this area. Nor is there anything heard about the Israeli hostages, who are still being held prisoner under harsh conditions in Gaza.

Jew-Hatred is Alive and Well in Germany

Jews are being beaten up in German universities. No, this isn’t 1935. And this time the globalist oligarchs that rule Germany and the rest of Western Europe have imported the legions of Mohammed to do their dirty work and teach Israel (and Jews in general) a lesson.

From Gaza to Berlin

The topic of this post is not easy write about. What I say here will not earn me any approval. On the one hand, I’ll be excoriated as a tool of the Mossad. On the other, I’ll be denounced as an “anti-Semite”.

So I can’t win, no matter what. But I still feel obligated to write about it, because the issue is an important one that is not being widely discussed in mainstream forums.

These matters are sensitive and contentious, which means that I expect readers to go the extra mile to preserve decorum in the comments. I don’t want the conversation to devolve into an orgy of Jew-hatred, which would be its natural tendency. I know it’s difficult, but it is possible to voice serious criticism of Israel and Jewish groups without invoking the Great Hebrew Menace.

This discussion concerns current events in Gaza. The atrocities of October 7 of last year are a given — I’m not a “denialist” about what happened that day — but they are not the primary topic. My focus is on what has happened in Gaza since October 7.

*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

As I write, the war in Gaza is still raging, and a ground campaign in Rafah is looming. Critics of the IDF’s actions repeatedly employ the term “genocide”, due to the alarming official Palestinian casualty figures from Gaza. Which is strange, because people who wouldn’t dream of believing the pronouncements of the US government, or the Israeli government, or EU governments, seem to have no problem crediting the Palestinian statistics on casualties in Gaza. The same people who think the Jews inflated the death toll in the Holocaust believe whatever numbers the Poor Palestinians put out.

As if the “Palestinian health authorities” weren’t a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hamas. As if Hamas hasn’t always openly proclaimed that high civilian casualties work to its advantage. Why wouldn’t they inflate those numbers? How could they do otherwise?

Regardless of the actual figures, the damage to the infrastructure of Gaza has been horrific.

It’s very difficult to acquire credible information about conditions in the Gaza Strip, because almost everything published — whether in the mainstream media or the alternative media — is propaganda put out by one side or the other. The current prevalence of AI-generated images and video has made it that much more difficult to separate truth from pseudo-reality.

However, some information may be gleaned from satellite photos, which indicate that well over half of the buildings in the Gaza Strip have been damaged or destroyed. Much of the population of northern Gaza has fled south, and is now trapped between the Israeli-enforced dividing line in central Gaza and the border with Egypt, which enclave is about to be invaded by the IDF. The Egyptians, knowing full well the risks associated with importing large numbers of Palestinians, are only allowing a trickle of traffic through the Rafah border crossing. As a result, a huge number of displaced residents are packed into tent cities near Rafah.

What will become of these refugees when the war is finally over? Israel is not too keen on repopulating the devastated areas of Gaza with them. And some Israeli organizations have plans for postwar Gaza that include establishing new Jewish settlements there. These are not the official plans of the Israeli government, but they are not the ravings of wild-eyed zealots in fringe groups, either. They are being openly discussed in public forums, which means the government is well aware of them and is not trying to shut them down.

If the Palestinians in the tent cities are not to be allowed back into northern Gaza, where then will they be resettled? There is some discussion of “voluntary” migration — that is, conditions in the crowded camps will become so harsh that residents there will be ready to emigrate somewhere, anywhere that will have them. If the Egyptian government can be induced to open the border for a steady, larger flow, this process can begin.

Prime Minister Netanyahu is working towards exactly that end:

On December 25, 2023, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed at the Likud Knesset faction meeting that he was working on the voluntary immigration of Gaza residents to other countries. “Our problem is finding countries that are ready to absorb them, and we are working on it,” Netanyahu said.

It goes without saying that no Islamic nation will accept any refugees from Gaza. They have all made it clear that they do not want Palestinians in their countries. And with good reason — nobody in his right mind would want to import Palestinians. That’s why the Egyptians have steadfastly resisted opening the Rafah crossing fully.

Thus Mr. Netanyahu is, for all practical purposes, expecting the West to take in the wretched refuse from Gaza. Canada, under the inspired leadership of Justin “Baby Doc” Trudeau, has already shown an eagerness to bring in the puir wee bairns of Palestine. I don’t know whether the USA will be similarly welcoming, since this is an election year, but we’ll see. As for the EU, it will vary from country to country, depending on how lefty the government in question is. I would expect Ireland, for example, to take its share, and possibly also Germany, under the Green-led traffic light coalition.

And Israel may have found a different solution to the problem: it is negotiating with Congo to take in the homeless and tempest-tost from Gaza. The article doesn’t mention the issue of payment, but I’m cynical enough to assume that the Congolese, already ridden with poverty and political strife, will extract a high price in return for the placement of Palestinians in their new tropical ghetto.

Regardless of their ultimate destination, the denizens of Gaza are problematic for anyone who is foolish enough to take them in. The Israelis, who have a closer acquaintance with the Palestinians than anyone else (with the possible exception of the Jordanians), have a jaundiced view of them.

Some Israelis — it’s not clear what proportion — are extreme in their attitude. Mia Schem, a former hostage held by Hamas, had this to say:

“It was important to me to relay the truth about the nature of the people who live in Gaza, who they are truly are and what I experienced there,” she said in the interview.

“It is important to you that the world understands, what? That I went through a holocaust,” Schem added. “Everyone over there is a terrorist. [emphasis added]”

Ms. Schem is not alone in her views, and some people are even harsher in their assessment of Gaza. Ilana Mercer (who is Jewish), refers to remarks made by Eliyahu Yossian — an “Israeli analyst and veteran of Unit 8200, a high-tech spy branch of the Israeli military” — according to a tweet from the account of Electronic Intifada:

These days, Israel’s political discourse is marred by the likes of Eliyahu Yossian, a mainstream opinionator. Listening as I did with difficulty to Yossian, I detect the delicate Iranian twang in his accent, although there is no sign of delicacy in this zealot’s worldview. Nothing authentically American, either. “Hamas is not the enemy,” he vociferates, “Gaza is. You level the area, and you kill the largest possible numbers, because the woman there is an enemy, the baby there is an enemy and the first grader is an enemy… and the pregnant woman is the enemy.” Yossian goes on to explain that Israel must not entertain “Western values” because these “blur basic logic.”

“The woman there is an enemy, the baby there is an enemy and the first grader is an enemy”: This is an exact mirror of Hamas’ doctrine about the Jews, by which they justify terrorist attacks that kill Israeli women, children, and the elderly. By definition, no Jew is innocent; all must die.

I don’t have to tell you that these constitute competing genocidal doctrines. In other words, the conflict in Gaza is trending towards a war of extermination. One side or the other will be exterminated.

Therefore, as an alternative, what Mr. Netanyahu is proposing is to export an entire population of what some Israelis consider to be dangerous terrorists who deserve extermination. The aim is to dump them on the Gentiles of the West, or perhaps on the Sons of Ham south of the Sahara. If the price is right, surely Congo or Gabon or Zambia would be willing to accept them. Anywhere but Israel.

Why is he doing that? If they all deserve to be killed, why ship them out to Berlin or Toronto instead of burying their corpses in the rubble of Gaza City and Khan Younis?

The answer, of course, is that this is a cynical strategy that will allow Israel to retain the moral high ground. Since 1948 the Israelis (and Jews in general) have had the reputation of conducting wars in the most humane manner possible, taking more Israeli casualties in order to avoid civilian deaths. It never seemed to do them any good; the Israelis were reviled just as much, no matter what. But they did it anyway. And, at least in the West, no one is acknowledged to wage war more ethically than the Jews of Israel.

The ‘High IQ’ of Murder

Our Israeli correspondent MC sends an update on Sderot, plus his thoughts on the larger issues.

The ‘High IQ’ of Murder

by MC

Nazism is a political meme which has been securely packaged up and filed under ‘Far Right: Conservative’, and is wheeled out whenever the left wants to shut down debate or dialogue or sling the ‘racist’ epithet against their opponents.

But whilst conservatives may want to preserve cultural integrity and Judeo-Christianity in particular, they have not generally indulged in mass murder and slavery as have the Left.

This ‘right-wing’ filing is wrong, but has caused mayhem for the last 70 years. It is a superlative opportunity for projection and, as conservatives nearly always fall for it, too, it has become a major suppressor of conservative cultural policy.

Nazism was a byproduct of the failure of Marxism. The (Marxist) proletariat did not rise up and take over the means of production as predicted, and the communist aficionados became impatient. Lenin decided that a top-down revolution was better than Marxian bottom-up ‘pie in the sky’.

Mussolini, on the other hand, as the leader of the Italian Communists, decided that communism could be achieved without a revolution,

At this point Marx/Leninism and Marx/Mussoliniism were moving in similar directions.

Marx/Mussoliniism was renamed ‘Fascism’ (after the fascia, the bundle of sticks wrapped around a Roman spear a symbol of Roman power). The only fundamental difference between the two was that fascism was not interested in state ownership so much as state control.

But there was nothing new here. Social paganism is thousands of years old, but by jiggling with names, these new ‘pagan’ philosophies became chic, and were adopted by elites in the anglosphere and elsewhere. They were particularly popular amongst academics and those who thought themselves as of slightly higher IQ than average, and thus ‘better’ people.

As the world fell under their ‘might is right’ pall, and their ‘ends justify the means’ politics, people began to die in large numbers. Once again, slavery became commonplace as great civil projects were undertaken, hailed as a ‘cure’ for the recession, dams and canals were built, highways and other infrastructure erected, and treasuries drained. In Germany it was decided that the treasury issues could only be tackled by expansion: Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland; WAR.

And with it, an opportunity for continental Europe to tackle that age-old ‘Jewish problem’.

But there was nothing new in this evolution of evil. Islam had preceded it by over a thousand years, following almost the same path to a might-is-right/ends-justify-the-means-based political religion. Back in the deep history of Islam, even more people were slaughtered and even more enslaved and even they had their own ‘Jewish problem’.

People hated Jews, and especially their economic dependence on Jews. Jews handled much of the finance and technical trades of Islam, and had to be kept alive, but in the virtual slavery of dhimmitude. Rank in Islam was denoted by headgear: the bigger the hat, the more important the person, and Jews were subject to both height and headgear restrictions. The kippah was the designated headgear for those captive Jews.

The Nazis’ ‘final solution’ also involved Jews being kept alive as captive (slave) workers in vital industries.

In modern times, these streams of communism, Fascism and Islam come together under the banner of Wokism.

Pro-Israel Rally in Milan

In response to pro-Hamas rallies in Italy, supporters of Israel staged a pro-Israel rally in Milan. The event featured Deputy Italian Prime Minister Matteo Salvini as one of its speakers.

Why Does Islam Abuse Women? — It’s the Doctrine, Stupid!

The following report by Clare Lopez was published earlier this month by Sharia TipSheet.

Women Under Sharia

Why Does Islam Abuse Women? — It’s the Doctrine, Stupid!

by Clare M. Lopez

Details about the sexual atrocities that HAMAS jihadis perpetrated and self-filmed with glee keep emerging, each more horrific than the last. Even the New York Times is now reporting results of its two-month investigation, including the unspeakable acts of rape, mutilation, torture, and murder committed by these savages. What they too often omit, however, is that it’s all sanctioned as legitimate under Islamic Law (sharia).

What Hamas Did to the Girls and Women in Gaza” by Hugh Fitzgerald at Front Page Magazine, January 4, 2024

BEATEN & TORTURED: Bloodied Faces of Karina, 19, Daniela, 19 Agam, 19 Liri, 18 Hamas Hostages” by Dr. Rich Swier, January 9, 2024. Citation from United With Israel, January 8, 2024

“Does Islamic Law Sanction Hamas’ Rape of Captives?” by Robert Spencer at PJ Media, January 19, 2024

  • Here, Robert cites the UK’s Guardian, which not only reported about the mass rape of Israeli captives by HAMAS in the October 7 Shabbat Massacre and after, but noted that captured HAMAS jihadis told Israeli interrogators they were actually instructed to commit such sexual abuse and additionally referred to Qur’anic justification for it (Q 4:3). Read both pieces—they are both revealing and instructive.

The horrors for women living under Taliban rule in Afghanistan never end.

“UN Mission Says Taliban Putting Afghan Women In Prison For Protection From Violence” by RFE/RFL, December 14, 2024

  • Violence by whom? Under sharia, it doesn’t matter: it’s the woman’s fault. Taliban is claiming it’s putting Afghan women in prison for their own protection—after having closed all the state protection centers for women, saying those are “a Western concept”.

Christian Women Forced to Wear Islamic Dress in Afghanistan” at Persecution.org, January 8, 2024

The Taliban’s Ministry for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice is cracking down on all women — Muslim, Christian, or any other faith — who appear in public without being completely covered up either in a ‘proper’ hijab or full mobile tent burqa.

Islamic rule in Iran continues to brutalize women and girls, too. Dr. Rich Swier calls out feminist and other leftist groups whose silence in the face of such abuse is despicable.

“Iran’s Islamic Regime WHIPS Young Woman 74 Times For Not Covering Her Beautiful Hair in Public” at Dr. Rich Swier, citing the Jerusalem Post, “Kurdish-Iranian woman whipped 74 times for not wearing hijab” by Tzvi Joffre, January 7, 2024

  • Woman in Iran gets 74 lashes for ‘public morals’ violation” at AlArabiya News, 7 January 2024

    Interesting to note that Al Arabiya is a Saudi-owned media outlet based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This piece cites an Iranian source who says the whipping penalty was carried out “in accordance…with shariah”.

Islam: Abolition of Civilisation

After an extended sabbatical, our Indian correspondent The Kafir returns with an overview of the civilization-destroying ideology that is Islam.

Islam: Abolition of Civilisation

by The Kafir

“Moreover, whatever may be the respective crimes, virtues and deserts of various races, classes and nations, civilized society requires a certain rule and order to hold back from the edge of anarchic savagery where it is always precariously poised. Human beings must have at least a minimum security in life and property, must be able to move through the streets and between the cities, must accept certain common rules in their mutual inter-course, or civilization does not exist. If this necessary order is subverted, the civilization is destroyed, whether the subversion take place from the best or worst of motives, whether or not it is in some supposedly moral sense justified, whether it is carried out by saints or devils. At some point the guardians of a civilization must be prepared to draw the line.” — James Burnham (Suicide of The West, page 227 [Kindle edition])

Human perception is a very strange thing. Man’s mind may have perceived everything needed to visit the moon. But sometimes it may fail to see the most obvious, glaring thing, not for a few moments or days, but for centuries.

What exactly is Islam? A man born in the Arabian city of Mecca around 1400 years ago claimed that he had been contacted by the God who created this world, had been given a book, and had been commanded to preach that man should worship only that God, in formlessness. So far so good.

Each of us believes so many claims by our fellow men. Men are totally free to believe this man also. They are fully entitled to believe that he was a messenger of God, and should worship God the way he said He should be worshipped. There is no problem so far. The world will go about its business, some nations will have good rulers and hence will be rich, others which have not so good rulers will remain poor. There will be aid for the starving.

But that man said something else also. He said that his fellow men had no choice in the matter. They Must either believe that he was a messenger of God, and worship the way he said, or they ‘will have no security in life and property, will not be able to move safely through the streets and between the cities, and his followers are bound by no rules in their mutual intercourse with non-believers.’ (James Burnham paraphrased) That is, he abolished Civilisation. He abolished the moral laws that make Civilisation possible. (Qur’an 8.39, 9.5, 9.29 and hadith Bukhari 1.2.24).

Kafirs have made mistakes in their response to him from the very first day he proclaimed his mission. They did not figure out his true intentions, and they did not even translate his words properly. For example, jihad.

Jihad is variously translated as Holy War, warfare, or just war. But in a war, an army comes, challenges the army of the target country, the two armies fight, and the victorious army gains possession of the country. People start paying taxes to the new government. This is a war. The only way of war between the civilised countries.

Does this happen in jihad? No. From the very first “battle” the Muslims fought, jihad means something else entirely. In jihad, you can attack trade caravans, you can kill non-combatants, you can simply attack a home/village, kill all the men, rape women and sex-enslave them, and enslave children and trade them around like goods; and loot the goods of household. This is sanctioned in the Qur’an, this is sanctioned by the examples of early Muslims, this is sanctioned in hundreds of hadith, and there are whole chapters of sharia manuals devoted to detailing this. The only condition is that you have to share 20% of the looted women, children and goods with the leader of the moment, the Imam/Caliph/Amir.

Does it all sound like a war? This is actually dacoity.

Merriam Webster defines dacoity as “robbery by dacoits — now used in the Indian penal code of robbery by an armed gang of not less than five men” Dacoity is word taken into English from India. The synonym is robbery/loot. The same dictionary defines robbery as “larceny from the person or presence of another by violence or threat.” So the correct translation of jihad is dacoity/robbery. The man made dacoity/robbery lawful against those who did not believe him. He made dacoity/robbery a religious duty.*

And civilisations died. Wherever his followers went, the places they seized, civilisations died. Baghdad or Cordoba are paraded around as examples of Islamic civilisation. That is, Islam is claimed to have established civilisation of its own kind after it has conquered a non-Islamic civilisation. But what are the creations of Baghdad or Cordoba except some translations of Indian/Persian/ Greek texts? Any literature, science, architecture, paintings, roads, canals, dance forms, music, universities? Anything that we take as achievements of a civilisation? In reality, every Muslim kingdom meant only one thing: regular raids on the kafir villages and cities, the killing of men, the looting of women, children and household goods. That is, dacoity.
