Behold, the Arab Spring—in London.
When Islamists detail their grand strategy for the genocide of the Jewish people it’s wise to pay heed.
Here, a Hizbullah MP explains the Iranian plan for a final solution. His analysis of the geopolitical situation is accurate for as America draws down from Iraq the power vacuum is being filled by Iran.
The end game against Israel and the Jewish people is underway.
Let’s roll the video and then I’ll have some brief comments.
Hizbullah, currently the defacto rulers of Lebanon, is the Iranian financed terrorist gang whose explicit mission is to destroy Israel and establish a caliphate in the Middle East. From there America is the next fat target. No need for the Islamists to go to war against Western Europe, that continent is cooperating very nicely by committing cultural suicide at a rate even the most fervent Islamist never imagined.
In the 1920′s Hitler outlined his genocidal plans for the Jews of Europe and the world yawned.
Let’s not make the same mistake twice.
If Jewish history teaches any lesson it is this: when someone vows to kill Jews they will try and do it. The only way to stop murderers is by acting preemtively, in short destroying the incipient genocidiers.
The Islamists are a far more serious threat than the Nazis. The Nazis did not yearn for their own deaths as do the Islamists.
At the moment, the so-called Arab Spring—do you think Lara Logan thinks this is an accuarate label?—is, in fact, setting the stage for Islamist rule of several key Arab Muslim countries.
Egypt, Iraq, Tunisia and Libya will undoubtedly fall to Islamist rule. Turkey, formerly an ally of Israel, has aligned itself with radical Islam. Of course, Seraphic Secret is delighted when any tyrant is overthrown. We wish the best for the Arab people. But we are also cognizant of, um, reality. And the reality is that Jew-hatred is the mortar of the Arab street. Never mind that poverty, disease and dysfunctional socialist economies plague the Arab Muslim world. Never mind that Arab cities smell like sewers because of inadequate sanitation services. Never mind that women, homosexuals and religious minorities are tortured and murdered with alarming regularity in the Arab Muslim world.
Who cares about such trivial matters when there are Jews to kill?
Israel’s greatest ally used to be America, but Obama is a hapless blowhard and Arab leaders consider him weak, unreliable, and fear him about as much as they fear Prince Rainier of Monaco.
The Israelis correctly view Obama as a hostile agent of the far left and count on him for nothing but ugly speeches about retreating to Auschwitz borders—because, y’know, Israel’s expulsion of 10,000 Jews from their homes in Gaza worked out so well.
Once again, we Jews are terribly alone.
Unless—
—Obama is defeated and a Conservative Republican candidate is voted into office, and America can once again regain its moral and military leadership on the world stage.
Ariel Chaim Avrech, ZT'L, May His Righteous Memory be a Blessing.

Dear Robert,
First let me say that I love your blog. I am a regular reader – agree with everything you have to say – but never comment. However, I couldn’t help but interject that I truly do not believe the U.S. will forsake Israel. There are many stripes of conservatives (not all of us are fundamentalist Christians!) – but the vast majority are sickened by the Obama administration’s betrayal of Israel. This is so repugnant to most Republicans that it cannot be emphasized enough. The world owes a debt to the Jewish people for standing by while they were slaughtered during the Holocaust. It’s my belief that Republicans view supporting Israel as the United States moral obligation in light of this. Also, most of us admire Israel greatly as David to the Moslem world’s Goliath.

Note the picture of the 2 people with anti-Semitic signs. The one of the right reads “For World Peace Israel Must Be Destroyed” — that’s the problem with Palestinian translations. They mistakenly used the word “Peace” when they meant to use the word “Domination”!

I always think it’s funny when people say Islam is a religion of peace. See, their justification for that is that Salaam and Islam have the same tri-literal root (the basic structure of Semitic languages—Hebrew has them too, e.g. Talmud “learning” Talmide “students”). But Islam doesn’t mean peace, it means surrender.
It’s the precise same logic to say that a hospital is an act of hostility—both come from “hostis”, the Latin word for stranger (the root of hospital, hostel, and hotel, as well as hospitality, is “lodging for strangers”). Indeed, it has a name, the Etymological Fallacy.

It’s still debatable whether Israel actually has the bomb; they may be trying to ride the “it only matters that they think you do” trick as far as they can. But that can backfire (just ask Saddam Hussein), especially since great swaths of world opinion paint any nation with nukes as evil and just itchin’ to use ‘em.
Be that as it may, nukes on subs is always good, since it negates any enemy’s possession of first strike capability. The logic of first strike was as a potential way around Mutually Assured Destruction, but when the nukes are unreachable, only retaliatory strikes stay on the table. After all, a sub commander whose homeland just got fireballed is pretty much 100% likely to fire his own nukes, from spite if nothing else.

And, no, actually, “the Holocaust” means the SS death camps, regardless of who the victims were. Are you suggesting we forget the 4 million Gentiles—half of them Polish—who also died there, so we can more perfectly mourn it as an exclusively anti-Jewish atrocity? Should we ignore Stalin’s (deliberate) Ukrainian famine, which by all estimates killed at least as many Ukrainians as the Holocaust killed Jews? Or the other 20-odd million people Stalin murdered? Or the 50-odd million Mao murdered? Shall we ignore the 45 million Christians, 2/3 of them Catholic and virtually all the rest Eastern, who have been murdered for their religion in the 20th century alone?
I never said any such thing, and you know I didn’t. Stalin starved millions of Ukrainians to death because the Ukrainians, a harheaded bunch of Slavs, didn’t want their farms to be collectivized. Mao slaughtered millions of his own people. For sheer number of his own people that he killed. Mao made Hitler and Stalin BOTH look like a couple of small time operators. Re-read my posting. I say the Nazis murdered and enslaved in every country they took over, but I also say “holocaust” means “whole-burnt” and only the Jews were singled out to be “whole burnt.”
You know how often I’ve reminded some of my Jewish friends that there were Christian victims of the Inquisition and Christians who died for their faith under the Communists? I think I may be the only Jew in Ramat Gan who knows the story of the priest who risked his life to say Mass in a Chinese labor camp.

I was misinterpreting what you said. Most people I know use “Holocaust” in a sense that includes all the Nazi mass-murder (while excluding their more ordinary murder, like the assassination of Dollfuss), while you appear to be using it strictly synonymously with the Shoah of the Jews. So, to me, it looked like you were saying the Nazis sent nobody but Jews to the death camps, which was not the case. In any event the Nazis did also target Gypsies in the same way as Jews, and were planning to exterminate the Poles, but then (again, thank God) they were beaten.
But it’s funny you mention the Inquisition, because that’s the same sort of thing, a trouble with terminology. The actual Inquisition had no Christian victims, and no Jewish or Muslim victims, either: its only victims (besides the occasional false positive, which you get in any criminal proceeding) were Cathars, a Jim Jones-style death cult that believed childbearing was a sin and denied the validity of contract. Considering their beliefs would annihilate civilization, followed shortly by the human race, I don’t really think “victim” is the word.
The Spanish thing wasn’t a real Inquisition; forced conversions weren’t considered valid, under canon law (since at least the 10th century, no contract, even baptism, entered into under coercion was considered valid), so (since they never actually consented to the contract implied by baptism) Jewish and Muslim conversos couldn’t be held liable for continuing to practice their old religions. The thing was not only conducted under the auspices of the Spanish crown, not the Church (meaning it wasn’t a real Inquisition), it didn’t even follow the correct procedures, so it wouldn’t have been a valid Inquisition anyway. Plus, it was conducted in the face of repeated papal orders to cease; Henry VIII had as much claim to be a bishop as Torquemada did to be an inquisitor.

Again, I accept your apology. Gypsies were targetted by the Nazis, but not as obsessively as the Jews; I understand that Gypsies were sometimes sterilized and released from the death camps. I often remind my Jewish friends that there were Christians who risked their lives and their family’s lives to save Jews, that non-Jews were imprisoned and murdered, for their religion, under Communism, that not only Jews sufferred Christian persecution, Christians did. I won’t tell you some of the smug, intolerant things I’ve heard said.
Not only that, I have Jewish friends who tell me I shouldn’t go into a Church or say a piece of Christian art is beautiful. I tell them that an accomplishment is an accomplishment; Schubert’s “Ave Maria” is a gut-cruchingly beautiful piece of music, Chartres Cathedral is one of the world’s great experiences, “La Pieta” is a great statue.
One friend got very upset when I did an embroidery of St. Paul’s Chapel, tiny, frail, St. Paul’s Chapel, standing triumphant against the falling Twin Towers. I did it as a gift for a friend who died of cancer a few years ago, a woman who was working downtown on 9/11.

A little story here—a old Polish man in my church stood up during the service one day and told us that when he was a teenager in Poland, the Nazis came to his church one Sunday morning and ordered everyone out of the building. They gave the people a choice: renounce Christ and live, or refuse and die. The congregation quickly separated into two groups, those who went to stand with the Nazis and those who stood their ground. My friend was one of those who refused to renounce Christ.
The Germans proceeded to shoot the people who had chosen to turn their backs on their faith, as turncoats who could not be trusted, and let the stalwarts go.
It was an amazing story and obviously I never forgot it.

It is fascinating that the Hezbollah calculations do not include any U.S. support of Israel. One, I find it stomach turning. Two, what Obama’s treatment of Israel means is that war is much more likely. Does anyone in that administration recall the lessons of Dean Acheson and the Korean War?
That said, I can’t see Iran, under its current leadership, taking on Israel in a direct confrontation – at least not until they have reliable nukes. One, that has not been there modus operandi for the past decades, which has always been to incite bloodshed through its willing proxies. Two, the Iranian government is too unstable by far to take the risk of a failed war with Israel. The mullahs may talk a big game, but their survival instincts are raxor sharp. I can’t see them starting a direct confrontation with Israel in the forseeable future. I think it more likely that, if there is to be a direct confrontation, Israel will start it in a preemptive strike over nukes.
And I hope for everyone’s sake that the U.S. is directly involved in making that mission a success, if not leading it. If so, then there will be a lot of impotent fist waving on the “Arab Street.” If not, then the likelihood of truly bloody, and perhaps nuclear war, in the Middle East grows exponentially.

Dear Pax,
Don’t want to ruin your day, but the IDF is already transitioning to a bullpup assault rifle as its standard battle weapon.
It’s the Tavor Model TAR-21 with a 13 inch barrel. The Golani and Givati Brigades are already using it. It’s a dainty looking thing and I hope and pray that it is far more rugged than it looks. I say this as a military veteran with experience with the M16, M14, and civilian experience with the M1 Garand.
Shalom

The Tavor is ambidextrous, though, like the FAMAS and Steyr AUG and unlike the SA-80 and Iran’s “Jew-hater” rifle. What ambidexterity means in a bullpup is that the ejection port can be switched to the other side, so a left-handed shooter won’t have to learn to shoot with his right (or else get shell-casings right in his face).
There are still problems with bullpups (not only is the trigger-pull nearly always a beast, but the shorter length means you have less leverage for controlling muzzle-climb in automatic fire), but “southpaws getting steaming brass up their noses” is the big one.

With the Nazis, we had a singular face of evil — Adolf Hitler. With the Islamist terrorists, I don’t see the same thing. Because of that, many Leftists see Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Gaza, Turkey as “diverse cultures” enacting “Arab Spring” — yeah, right.
My concern is this putz who doesn’t seem to mind 100,000-200,000+ dead Arabs as a acceptable cost for attacking Israel. This only reinforces the idea that “these people” only understand strength. One day we will have to hit them hard — very hard.

Nazism probably would’ve existed without Hitler; actually every single aspect of it except the socialism and the scapegoating Jews already existed in the 19th Century, and neither of those was Hitler’s addition to the Nazi movement. “Prussianism”, the ideology of the Hohenzollern empire, differed from Nazism only in that it had an aristocracy and tolerated Jews (mainly as potential spies—Imperial German policy was to deliberately cultivate Jews as intelligence assets, since their diaspora status meant they had connections throughout Europe).
As early as the nineteen-oughts, you have German scholars claiming, for example, that Michelangelo must’ve been German (his surname, Buonarotti, supposedly being a corruption of “Bernhardt”). The death-camps were a Nazi invention, but the labor-camps had already been used in the German part of partitioned Poland since around the time of Bismarck. And not only did Bismarck talk about exterminating the Poles (people forget, the Nazis killed 2 million Poles in the Holocaust, and murdered another 2 million during their occupation), but it was the Imperial Germans who pioneered the use of poison gas, during World War I. Their justification for it was “oh, well, bullets are propelled by gas, so mustard-gassing the trenches so people die in agony isn’t any different”.
Basically, pace Gunther Grass, Nazism was just the previous 200 years of German history, on steroids, and redirected toward Jews.

The Michelangelo-must’ve-been-German thing shows that Nazi race-theories—”all greatness in Europe comes only from Teutonics!”—didn’t actually start with them; they were already well-entrenched by Bismarck’s time.

No, you’re right. In fact, let’s go whole hog, and make it completely illegal to mourn anybody who isn’t a Jew murdered in the Holocaust. Mr. Avrech, you’ll have to take down these memorials to your son, Miranda doesn’t think we should mourn anyone but the victims of the Holocaust—and she also thinks we should forget about the Gentile victims of that. I’m guessing she also wants the Catholic Church to retract its canonization of Maximilian Kolbe, who died in Auschwitz? We can’t have some dead Pole distracting from the Jewish victims, after all!

I accept your apology and I never said “You must mourn my dead, but you may not mourn your own.” You know how often I’ve reminded by Jewish friends of the Righteous Gentiles, which INCLUDE Maximilian Kolbe, may the al-mighty avenge his blood? I was very glad when he was canonized.

Ah. A little research reveals the problem.
I had always been taught that “Holocaust” meant the network of German death camps, while “Shoah” and “Final Solution” referred specifically to the Jews being round up and sent into them. Turns out many use both terms only for the second thing.
While, admittedly, only the Jews (well, and Gypsies) were systematically rounded up for the death camps, the death camps had other victims—one whole wing of Auschwitz was for non-Jewish Poles, I seem to recall, and 2 million Poles died in that and other death camps. And the Nazis made no secret of the fact the Poles were next for the boxcars to the gas chamber, once they’d finished with the Jews, so one can’t really say “only the Jews were targeted”. Rather, the Jews were the highest-priority target, and the only one they managed to get a start on exterminating, before (by the grace of God) they were defeated.

I’m pretty sure they fear Prince Rainier significantly more than Obama, actually—a dead leader, especially one whose clan goes back to 1160 and encapsulates the identity and tradition of an entire city-state, is significantly more dangerous than a guy who went on a kowtow-and-apology tour.
All you need to know about Iran, is the fact that their army’s (bad FAMAS-cum-AR knockoff) assault rife is named after a battle (Khaybar) where Muhammad slaughtered and enslaved a major Jewish settlement near Medina. Seriously, they might as well just name it “Judenratgewehr”. Fortunately, though, it’s a non-ambidextrous bullpup, meaning they can only shoot out of cover on the right side of their body. The Brits SA80 rifle is a similar configuration—and their guys say it was “designed by the ignorant, built by the incompetent, and issued to the unfortunate”.
I vote we change the M16′s name to Persidaspules, the M4 to Issus, and the M9 pistol to Gaugamela—each a battle where Alexander the Great crushed the Persians (“Persidaspules” is Greek for “Persian Gate”, the last battle of Alexander’s Persian campaign and the one that made him ruler of the Achaemenid Empire).
