As a young man who enlisted in the IDF when he was drafted, because he wanted to, is torn about whether to reenlist. He is not convinced that today's Israeli government will do the job that is necessary. Their appeasement over the last decade is what caused this. He, like a few other Israelis to whom I have listened, will settle for nothing less than the crushing elimination of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Ayatollahs in Iran. Gaza should have been parking lotted days ago. All of the adults in Gaza are sympathizers, and all of the children are victims of Hamas in any event. No threat must be left alive.
I think it's far too easy to say history repeats. What Ayn Rand did was identify the ideas that lead cultures to self-destruct or to prosper. To a lesser extent, so did Isabel Paterson. Appeasement is a symptom, an effect.
Not surprised. The left loves war, death and destruction so that's usually the way things go. If a society yields to them it should prepare itself for this kind of thing.
...that the Israelis have been fighting internally in their own brand of Left vs. Right un-civil war. They became complacent with the external threat, and focused instead on each pushing their domestic political views onto the other side. They did fall asleep at the wheel. To their own detriment and possibly to the whole world.
The US war machine certainly will take advantage of this. Perhaps the US military used Psyops to spur on Israel's internal political fight, to destabilize Israel, give Hamas reason and opportunity to attack, and further destabilize the region, a boon to the war-machine.
In tomorrow's IN THE MEME TYME, I will be presenting info on all the pedophiles/reg. sex offenders, (via map) in the GAZA strip . . . No conspiracy's, just sharing headlines 6 mo's in advance?
