The sad and frightening fact is that Macron and the others know that ultimately, their respective countries are lost to growing Islamism and eventually Sharia will be the law of the land. Western Europe does not have the political will and moral fortitude to confront their growing Islamist minorities that refuse to integrate into the ambient culture, obey the laws, learn the language, educate their children in Western liberal values, etc. This is coupled with the scant birth rate of the actual native populations. The best that Macron et al hope to do is by throwing a few bones to the Islamists in their midst, such as pushing Israel under the bus, turning an almost blind eye to anti-Semitism, etc. is to delay the inevitable day of reconning by ten to twenty years.
Canadian author Mark Steyn persuasively demonstrated Western Europe’s likely future demise, based largely on demographic trends, in his 2006 book, “America Alone.” One wonders if America is fated to suffer—absent serious political will—the same catastrophe facing France, Britain, etc. Canada is dangerously close.
How ironic that most of Eastern Europe; e.g., Poland, Hungary, Croatia, where much of the 20th Century’s most vicious antisemitism occurred, seems to be carefully avoiding Western Europe’s ruinous immigration policies, and thus have proved (so far) somewhat less inhospitable to their small Jewish communities.
Up to 20% of Muslims are extremist. The rest support them financially and otherwise. No Muslim will ever criticize another Muslim no matter what they do to the Kafir (infidels such as Christians and Jews).
The death cult of Islam is by its very nature extreme because their goal is the domination or death of all other people in the world.
They admit it. It’s in their book. Allah requires that they dominate and allows them to destroy all other people by any means whether that involves lying, rape, stealing, or murder. Their demonic God allows all this. Why won’t you believe what they say?
Starmer is literally just air in a suit. He doesn’t believe anything, nothing behind the eyes…
I will never understand why they are letting this happen. A lot of $ is changing hands, but you couldn’t pay me to knowingly destroy my country, which is what they are doing. They’ve created this problem and now they’re scared of the Islamists turning on them and beheading them. So now they arrest the ppl talking about it rather than the actual terrorists and their supporters. Spineless, cowardly yet dangerous ppl.
"The twin evils of Marxism and Islamism have eaten away at the West’s moral core."
I wish I had anything to add to this, but it pretty much hits the nail on its head.
Marxism is evil and stupid and Islamism is antithetical to every liberal value, but the reason they march from victory to victory is that they are strong belief systems that people (esp the young and deluded) are drawn to and devote their lives and souls to, as they provide meaning and purpose.
Up against them is Western managerial liberalism, which has torn out its Christian and national roots, and pretty much exists as a market-state with a media-propaganda wing and HR Dept attached, where people with no values outside of money and careerism lecture the rest of us about proper morality, which always boils down to a conception of universal egalitarianism where the elite is always right and their opponents are always wrong.
Current elite morality now insists that residents of the West are entitled to nothing but proving their worth by atoning for the sins of our ancestors, whereas everyone outside the West is entitled to move anywhere they like and refashion our societies in their image—with all the costs socialized and all the profits privatized.
The first step to regaining any kind of civic cohesion and sanity is replacing the Western elite class with people who don't actually hate their own peoples, countries and cultures, and who don't view their populace as a dangerous herd to be managed, controlled and fleeced. Macron, Starmer, and Carney (among many others) are indistinguishable branch managers of the global-corporate state who have no convictions or any principle they wouldn't trade for power. When they leave the scene they will all be instantly forgotten, but someone else will have to deal w their wreckage.
Well said, as always! It’s so funny you said they’re “indistinguishable.” I used to always get the governor of California mixed up with the pm of Canada cause they’re basically the same person. I would say they’re psychopaths, but psychopaths usually have superficial charm, and these talking piles of air in suits don’t even have that.
Is easy to confuse Newsom w Trudeau, they are both smug and well-coiffed and could be models for maybe an LL Bean catalog or a Dockers ad and they both recite their lines with that same affect of being amazingly impressed w themselves.
But all branch managers of the global-corporate state are pretty much the same person, esp the European ones (maybe only their families could distinguish the non-entities who've run Britain, France and Germany the past decade), esp because Europe doesn't really have leaders anymore, just figureheads who work as middlemen bw their countries and the bosses of the EU.
I doubt they're psychopaths, for better or worse, they're not charismatic or interesting enough (!), but then again they have no core or principles, so are impossible to trust or believe.
The joint statement from the UK, France and Canada was utterly shameful, and an obvious attempt by their current leaders to appease segments of their electorate that are openly hostile to Jews. They’re playing a very dangerous game to hold onto power, and the indifference of most of the electorate allows this game to continue.
In the diaspora, numbers will never be on our side, but it’s hard to know exactly when to leave. The recent election in Canada might one day be viewed as the moment we crossed that threshold. Time will tell.
"The only traditional Western value these countries want to cling to is antisemitism." - Brilliant. And tremendously sad. I understand your hypothetical crying. Reclaiming values seems like a tall order. It is absolutely true that not all cultures are equal, and that the West has imported medieval religious Islam, a barbaric death cult. It pains me more than I can say.
Oh yes, and as you say, the three stripes of anti-semitism have found each other: brothers in arms. Who will kill whom, in the end? The Lefties will be the first to go; then the Right will fight it out with the Islamists, who may win in the end.
"pathological obsession with Israel" one young Swedish woman with a pathological need for attention ....draped in table cloth and raging against Israel. A few brave MIT students walking out at a commencement speaker goes on a rabid anti Israel tirade. Screams of "shame" at these brave souls. This is not going away. Leaving Europe for either USA or Israel...smart choice. Diaspora Jewish life is finished. French Jews may try to hang on. Russian Jews, Ukraine Jews....get out. I bless the memory of great grandparents and grand parents for the courage to leave in early 20th century. The racists scream Jews should "go back to..." NOthing more blatantly racist from these "anti racists' then that shout at Jews. Jews went back.....to Historic Israel now the State of Israel.
Excellent overall concepts of morality and behavior. I would strongly suggest being very specific about behavior and motivation. The core value of Judaism is THE SACREDNESS OF LIFE, which has to be repeated loudly and clearly. Most cultures incorporate the biological goals of Superiority, Winning, Conquest and Dominance. These are their moral values. Killing and violence no longer make sense in the recently advanced industrial world. Motivation is still based on the Emotional Brain, not so much the Intellectual Brain.
Europe is under the control of the Commie-Nazi One World Order Bankers Cabal. The main organizations are the Central Banks, WEF, Illuminati, Bilderberg, UN/WHO. Macron has been crowned by the WEF and the new Canadian Prime Minister is a WEF big shot. This group is intent on taking over the planet and eliminating most of the human population. The anti-Semitism has always been there, but has been reborn and rejuvenated by the Cabal to create hate and division. The mass migration of Muslims and other third worlders was part of the plan to destroy the civilizations and governments of the West. The grand plan is now hitting Jews and Israel especially hard. Jews, Christians, Hindu all need to unify to fight the Muslims, the Commies. Wake up and fight. The path to victory is narrow.

I am afraid you are right.

Nachum, your Moral Clarity blog, and Josh’s Future of Jewish, are two great reads. Thank you to you both.
The oblivion shown by most EU & western leaders to the M or I problem is astounding.
Starmer is literally just air in a suit. He doesn’t believe anything, nothing behind the eyes…

Excellent essay, Nachum. Yes, Europe is mired in crap and the US (without Trump) will be heading there. Retirement in Eretz Yisrael!
Better to raise your children here.
Any country with a sizable Islamic fifth column will be this way.

Coming up to our 46th alyaversary, I have always felt that the louder the world screams the more we know Israel did the right thing for Israel.
I don't believe in virtue signaling to those who want me dead.
