The Daily Sceptic comes out today with this:
"First thought" is one way to describe people of one western nation who tend to first auto-think in a supportive way of one side in a conflict overseas and in a critical way of the other.
In Britain, the first thought is to support Hamas or anything Muslim or Arab (Lawrence of Arabia, Toynbee, FCO) ... while because of the Jewish and Italian communities out of NYC etc., first tendency over there is the other way.
TDS is, by definition, sceptical, so it says, but it's also M25 bubble, Whitehall influenced ... thus pro Hamas, anti Israel before they even write it.
But of course they make it acceptable by not overtly supporting the terrorists they do but claim it's all about "Palestinians", there being no such nation, never has been. Someone invents a flag for them. Ditto the Oz aborigs.
Microwaved babies? Family members tied together and torched? Just ignore all that, say the feckless left, the Wokerati, and speak only of bombs on houses after everyone's had days of warning to get out to the south.
Jewish? No, I'm not, nor death cult terrorist ... I just have eyes to see. Support the annihilation of all buildings, tunnels etc. in Gaza, displacement of two million? No, yet that's what beloved Hamas and Hezbollah bring down on their populations, Zelensky and Azov too. Care about their own people? Do they hell. Night follows day.
When Putin announced the SMO in response to the constant bombing and strafing of Donetsk and the Donbass since 2014 by the supposed Ukrainian govt ... on its own people (think Hamas), my Ukro Russian mate said to me ... there goes the Ukraine. End of. Yes ... correct ... Kiev's actions were only ever going to goad that response. Ditto with Israel's response in Gaza. What else could have happened?
Another way to see it is one western political side lives in cloud cuckoo land and the other in realpolitik. And then there are the mass of normies, who the cloud cuckoo landers desperately, in a highly organised way, globally ... try to and succeed in indoctrinating when they're young.
Some cretin spray painted a wall in our town with "Free Palestine". Some unknown wag, harking back to the graffiti of the 60's about freedom for Wales, added "With Every 4 Gallons".
ReplyDeleteI suppose it had to happen, and perhaps it should be repeated in other places?
