Very nice piece. Unfortunately this seems to be the year when we all have to take a hard look at the situation in the Middle East and how we got there, funny mustaches and all. If I had no other reason to hate Hamas I would hate them for that.

The problem on the DR is that every time someone says, 'Maybe Bibi isn't a great guy and there are some things about the way that that country is run that upset me.' someone else says, 'Yeah I totally agree Jews are subhuman parasites.' For whatever reason, it is very hard to occupy a position of balance on Israel. They are either divinely licensed to do whatever is necessary up to and including set babies on fire or they rule the world and are poisoning Noble Aryans/created the White Man in a lab to destroy humanity.(two mutually exclusive versions of the same position which taken together puts the whole thing in perspective)

I say, that not everyone who is a friend to the Jews needs to be a supporter of the current Israeli administration anymore than every American Patriot needs to be a supporter of the Biden administration. I say that Hitler is something like a photographic negative of Lenin or Robespierre. He was a disaffected Leftist- a man who saw Liberal governments starve his people to death, foreign carpetbaggers buy the German cultural patrimony at the prices that you can only buy things from starving people, and the Liberalism in which he believed acquiesce. He then tried to turn the Liberal World Order's guns on itself. He used Leninlike purges on Communists and foreigners. He outcentralised the centralizers and outmodernized the modernists. But like Lenin or Robespierre he could only destroy. There is such a thing as a witchy weapon that never does good. Centralized government and Maolike purges never build freedom or peace no matter which bad guys you point them at.

BTW that is why we are well and truly f*ed with the mass migration into our countries. The only way to get them out is to surrender all civil liberties and endorse the largest government expansion in history. No one has ever successfully deported 40 million people. Hitler may be the only one who ever tried. It didn't go well. He was left with the Lenin/Mao/Pol Pot sort of solution. I like to think that Trump 2.0 won't wind up in a position like that, but honestly it is going to get very ugly. The 'refugees' can't stay here but where will these people go, how will they be identified and rounded up, and what will they do when they get there?

Life’s all about tradeoffs. If there really is a secret cabal of Jews running western civilization, I guess it could be worse. We could all be living under the rule of people like Kim Jong Un, Xi Jingping, or Iran’s mullahs. Pick your poison, I guess. I have no problem complaining about the evil people that rule over us, whether they are Jews or not, but I’m not convinced that bigotry is a vital part of the solutions to our problems.
