The Western Left's deranged Jew hatred and its defense of Islamic terrorism is consistent with the Left's history of supporting and apologizing for various bloodthirsty tyrants, from of course Lenin and Stalin and Mao to Castro to Foucault's fellating of Ayatollah Khomeini to the support of the PLO in the 70s.
How do people who advertise themselves first and foresmost by their pristine morality and their egalitarian utopianism somehow ALWAYS end up being first to cheerlead for a massacre?
One aspect I think is how we don't ever seem to discuss the dangers of Communism and its many manifestations, how we're all bombarded with warnings about Nazis and fascists and the KKK but how the many crimes of Mao and the Soviets were brushed under the rug in the West—I think because "wanting to make the world a better place" pretty much passes for sacred dogma here, which various political actors don't want to have examined too closely, as it may curtail their grandiose power schemes.
Also, and as you mentioned, the Western Left's boundless compassion is absent when there's no Western actor involved and Arabs can slaughter each other en masse with nary a peep of protest because Western Leftism is an entirely intra-Western phenomenon, their movement having been designed and sold as being a higher moral conscience dedicated to an egalitarian utopian future (which will come into place inevitably once we hand TOTAL POWER to the vanguard class). And as their fantasy of "socialist liberation" involves the eradication of modern capitalism to be replaced by some form of New Man/Noble Savage where the lion lies down with the lamb and "the first shall be last and the last shall be first", this has always involved some vision of cleansing bloodshed, some destruction of the evil ones (kulaks, capitalist roadsters, and of course Jews) to inaugurate their pure New World.
And I guess this leads to my last and main point: those who always imagine themselves having attained superhuman morality always commit the most subhuman crimes. Their ideologies demand it!
The Palestinians are just the latest weapon used to dismantle Western Civ on behalf of a coalition of its opponents, a rogue's gallery of terrorists, theocrats, theorists and other miserable miscreants who devote their lives to destroying what they could never create.
I was hoping to read from you, especially today - and, as expected, it did not disappoint, but moved me to tears.. Thank you, Alan, brilliant, forceful, important.. 🙏🏻🥺
Qualified humanity is not humanitarian and selective empathy is not empathetic…. Often forgotton in the name of “social justice”.
I think a large number of therapists may benefit from reading this essay.
BRAVO such a great piece...
