The French have spent years bashing Israel and supporting the so-called Palestinians (Palestinian is not a nationality but a profession) in a desperate bid to appease global IslamoNazis.
A few weeks ago, the French voted in favor of raising a Palestinian flag at the UN headquarters. “This flag is a powerful symbol, a glimmer of hope for the Palestinians,” UN French Ambassador Francois Delattre declared in full Marshal Pétain mode.
Most recently, France voiced its backing for EU plans to label products from various Israeli neighborhoods, as if IslamoNazis really care about Judea and Samaria. In fact, Islamists believe that the entire state of Israel is a settlement that must be exterminated. They also believe that Europe is a temporary Crusader settlement that rightfully belongs to Islam. Europeans must either submit or die.
Friday’s massacre should convince anyone with a lick of common sense that Islamic State and its supporters are not particularly impressed by the EU’s anti-Israel/anti-Semitic policies.
Here’s what Paris and the EU should learn from the Paris massacre, the University of California Merced knifing spree, the French train attack foiled by Americans, the Charlie Hebdo/kosher supermarket massacre, the Boston massacre, the Mumbai massacre, the Madrid massacre, the British tube massacre, the Fort Hood massacre, the bombing of the Russian airliner that took off from Sinai, 9/11, and the thousands of Islamist acts of terror that unceasingly roar across the globe: There is no difference between the beasts of Islam in Israel who attempt to murder Jews with knives and cars, and the beasts who slaughter dozens of people in Paris with suicide vests and Kalashnikovs. There are no good terrorists.
As Benjamin Netanyahu correctly observed:
“We are not at fault for the terrorism turned toward us just as the French are not at fault for the terrorism turned toward them. Those to blame for terrorism are terrorists. Not the [disputed West Bank] territories, not the settlements nor any other factor – it is the will to destroy us that keeps the conflict alive and motivates murderous aggression against us,” he said.
The beasts of Islam have declared war against all of Western civilization. And there is no appeasing them. The more you give the more they demand.
And unless the EU stands with Israel against the beasts of Islam, the EU will drown in its own blood.
One depressing item is that, just as in Umpqua College, the bad guys were able to keep doing what they were doing for many minutes. The fact that it takes the authorities too long to respond is not exactly news. But the fact that — unlike what we understand happened on United Flight 77 — the victims apparently did not fight back en masse is disheartening. One can blame this on modern indoctrination, the false notion that the correct response to violence or threat of violence is meek non-resistance.
Google “Normalcy Bias”
Flight 77 was unique in that some of the passengers learned from relatives of the planes flown into the WTC. They had time to assess their situation and plan a last ditch counter attack. Whereas the folks in the Paris attacks appeared to be experiencing normalcy bias.
The terrorists will always have the advantage of surprise and advance planning. One would have to be trained to know the correct course of action to take for a variety of situations; no two are alike.
One thing we can all do is to be aware of our surroundings.
A few weeks ago, the French voted in favor of raising a Palestinian flag at the UN headquarters. “This flag is a powerful symbol, a glimmer of hope for the Palestinians,” UN French Ambassador Francois Delattre declared in full Marshal Pétain mode.
“A glimmer of hope for the now-so-called ‘Palestinians?'” A glimmer of hope that their dream will come true amd Israel will be wiped off the map? Does Ambassador Delattre really want that dream to come true? Does he not know that the Arabs also think they’re entitled to France, and after all, in 732 A.D., the Arabs got as far as Poitiers before they were turned back by Charles Martel? Does he think that there’s anyone in the E.U. army with Martel’s balls, excuse my French? (That’s slang, Robert, not profanity, and you can’t ban me for it.) Ambassador Delattre MUST be well informed enough to know that if the Islamofascists ever get their dream, and Israel is, G-d forbid, destroyed, the Islamofascists will be free to concentrate on Europe, the E.U. army couldn’t, as I’ve been saying for years, fight off a Brownie troop armed with plastic baseball bats. As long as Israel drwons in blood, he doesn’t care if France does, and he represents France in the U.N.
All well made points, Miranda. Good stuff.
Thanks.
It’s not entirely clear if Delattre was speaking from ignorance or not. A lot of people give politicians who advance anti-Israel and pro-terrorist policies a pass on the assumption they are just misguided. At some point, the accumulated evidence has to start to convince us that it is deliberate.
Of course it’s deliberate. With the exception of a few brainwashed 18 year old dimwits, nobody believes Israel is an apartheid country. People condemn Israeli apartheid and call for boycotting of Israeli academics, artists and journalists because they want a hifalutin excuse to do something low-ban and ostracize Jews- and because they know they can get away with it.
Indeed.
I am currently being excoriated by Friends and relatives because: “It is hurtful to continue reading your absolute lack of empathy for what happened in France.”
I have written and posted a few things comparing Israel and France but, oddly enough, it began with something I wrote on Friday MORNING, before the attacks.
This is the time when Europe is doomed,
This is the time of the Islamo Fascists.
This is the time when they all the hate Jews,
This is the time when we need Moshiach!
Pick out a Jew and boycott his brand.
Say “Take a walk, don’t live on your own land!”
Put on a keffiyeh and cover your face
Hop on a boat and invade the whole place!
It’s a time for crying
How the heads are flying
There goes your grandfather
There goes your grandmother
A million Muslims loaded
And they all exploded!
They have such fun!
Oh, what a game!
They destroy the world but WE bring it shame?
