The Judgement of Doha: steadfast means steadfast; genocide is not required
By the time news broke of grown men strangling the Bibas babies to death, you felt nothing. You were too upset about the starving children of Gaza, whom you neither saw nor heard. Your heart is with the monsters, your kind words are for killers, and your tears are for the nothingness inside you.
My latest Op-Ed in Arutz Sheva - Israel National News
It started as a trickle, a mass-murderer here, an evil mastermind there, then two within 24 hours, and within months it was a flood: 5,000 at once, an entire jihad-terror conference here, a full iniquitous quorum there — if you are still unable to feel the slightest bit of satisfaction, let’s not talk about joy, at Israel taking another step yesterday to rid the world of yet more extremely evil men, this time in glistening, opulent Doha, then it is a symptom of something rotten festering inside you.
October 7 might have horrified you, stunned you, shaken your knowledge of yourself, caused you to question your judgement, perhaps your actions, your values, even your life over the last several decades. Perhaps you experienced a traumatising, debilitating self-doubt. It was possible, just possible, at that moment, that you could get onto the road to recovery, to finding your soul again, your spirit of love for proclaiming truth over concern for “letting the side down”. But, alas, that was not to be.
You substituted allegiance for truth, and by the time the Parade of the Coffins came along, you were back in your proper place, comfortable in the mad crowd screaming about a genocide in Gaza that you did not care to witness yourself. What use are your eyes? You were with the side, chanting the slogans of hatred and blood. Your Muslim friends call that kind of mind-enslavement to evil Al-Wala’ wal-Bara’. It is one of their undying obligatory virtues.
By the time news broke of grown men strangling the Bibas babies to death and of their pummelling the little bodies with rocks, you felt nothing. How could you be expected to? There was a genocide going on. Did the babies cry? What does it matter? You have no use of ears. And oh yes, the videos. We all saw the starving children videos. You were too upset about Israel starving the children of Gaza, whom you have neither seen nor heard, to pause, even for just a moment, lest you find out that it was not so, and that you had slipped right back into that state of mindlessness, of never letting the side down.
Of course, only someone in favour of genocide would deny the genocide. Hamas was your impeccable source. The Hamas statistics, the Hamas claims, and especially the Hamas videos – only the truly evil would doubt. Those on the side of Zionism. Except that you were only interested in the Hamas videos of the starving children, not the Hamas videos of their gleeful massacre of 1,200 people in Israel on October 7 that they had broadcast themselves. The same impeccable source, but their own massacre videos were not true, only their Israeli "genocide" videos were true.
What am I talking about? There is no contradiction here. If the material damages Israel, then it is true; if it vindicates Israel, it is false. If it does neither, then it is irrelevant. If it does both, then it is deceptive. The source is irrelevant. I would bet you did not know (and if you knew, you would not care) that that is exactly the Shari'a distinction between truth and lies: if it benefits Islam, then it is true; if it harms Islam, then it is a lie.
The real, horrific savagery of tortured and murdered babies left you cold. The Bibas babies were privileged, white males, Zionists to boot. Thankfully, you felt nothing. The point I am making here is not about the Palestinian monsters who tortured and murdered the babies, it is about you.
So how could anyone expect, after the destruction of Hamas, Hezbollah, the Assad regime, the IRGC, the Houthis and now the obscene, overfed Hamas emperors in Armani suits taken out in Doha, that you would be happy to see so much evil banished from this world. You could not see that despite its being plainly obvious even to you, that there is no genocide in Doha, no starvation, no killing of women and children, yet your reaction is the same as if you are unshakeably convinced that there is genocide in that gilded palace, and all the other awful things. Your heart is with the slain monster, your kind words are for his surviving people, and your tears? They are for the nothingness left inside you. Does that not tell you that genocide is not required, that starving children are not needed, and that you just hate Jews anyway, excuse or no excuse? Or perhaps you are just steadfast in towing the line, whatever that line might be, so long as you never let the side down.
So to you, dear Western liberal who finds it so hard to take delight in the securing of the civilisation to which you owe everything, I say you are a loss, a sad loss. With just a little self-respect you might have paused and thought, genocide is an extremely serious charge and I grew up in a culture that gave the world habeas corpus. Let me just check; it will only take a moment. But you could not bring yourself to spare even that moment, could you. No, you could not. So I leave it to you, mad-crowd Western liberal, to come up with a more suitable description of yourself.
