We truly live in a strange West.
Take the president of the Scottish Students’ Union. She seemed to understand Hamas’ massacres. Two days earlier, she accused Labor leader Keir Starmer of being “complicit in the death of… trans people” for saying that biology matters when it comes to women. Understood? A politician with a natural view of femininity is a criminal, but a terrorist who kills Israeli boys and girls at a music festival must be understood.
They ask for “safe spaces” for gender, queer, LGBT, blacks etc.. but they don’t find it scandalous to massacre Israelis. Hamas has been bombing Tel Aviv for two weeks and the rights champions are chanting “Free Palestine”.
Who knows if Gianni Vattimo – the Italian homosexual philosopher who said he wanted to “shoot those Zionist bastards” – has ever thought about what they would do to him in Gaza.
Maybe they drank too much whiskey in Scotland. Let’s move then to Spain, where three female ministers of the left-wing government have just asked to arrest…Benjamin Netanyahu.
In Barcelona, as in other European and American cities, there are demonstrations with rainbow flags in support of Hamas and the killing of innocent Jews.
Judith Butler, the popess of gender theory, has characterized Hamas and Hezbollah as a “resistance movement”.
The Spanish Minister of Equality, Irene Montero, refused solidarity with Israel, “not in our name”. The same Montero who asked if “men and women exist?”, to justify the transgender law.
Who knows if men and women exist in Gaza.
Meanwhile, feminist organizations are silent about the rapes of Israeli girls by Hamas, writes Newsweek.
We are plagued by infantile ideological, nihilistic, sad chatter that exudes surrender.
On the day the Taliban took Kabul, the famous British model, feminist, influencer and actress Lily Cole had herself photographed in a burqa under a post that wanted to “celebrate diversity at all levels – biodiversity; cultural diversity; diversity of thought; diversity of voice; diversity of ideas”.
“Today we strike in solidarity with Palestine and Gaza. The world needs to make her voice heard and call for an immediate ceasefire, as well as achieving justice and freedom for the Palestinians and all civilians involved.”
Greta Thunberg’s social post is beautiful, as always. It’s a shame that there isn’t even a comma about the 1,400 Israelis murdered at dawn on October 7, the children and old people massacred, the 200 kidnapped today inside Gaza, Greta’s peers killed at the rave party, the raped, the humiliated as spoils of war on the streets of Gaza City. The Manichaeism on which Greta’s click-baiting militancy feeds is the realm of the binary: dominant or dominated, racist or anti-racist, executioners or victims.
And it goes without saying that Israel, symbol of the West, can never be a victim, not even on 7 October, when twenty villages ended up decimated by Hamas.
Or maybe burning Israelis alive reduces global warming?
French philosopher Michel Onfray is right, writing in this week’s Le Figaro:
“Jihadists have no use for cisgender women, same-sex marriages, lesbian couples, transsexual transitions, surrogacy, quinoa salads, wind turbines and the electric bicycles of the lower middle class. This arm that its left hand holds for its personal purposes will turn against it when the time comes. In these terrible hours, the Jews were the first to be sacrificed.”
But this betrayal requires a large-scale sacrifice and Islam is already on its way to subjugating the flaccid relativist society.
Dear Woke Western relativists, after the Jews Hamas is coming for you (israelnationalnews.com)
