Western Leaders Caving on Israel Because They Are Afraid of the Monster They Created – HotAir

I largely disagree with the criticisms of Israel’s conduct in the war, but I see no contradiction between supporting civilized behavior and being upset at Israel’s conduct–especially not if you believe that the Pravda Media is giving you the real story on what is going on there. 





I, too, would be appalled if I believed the lies being told, but having followed the war very closely, I have concluded that what has been reported is, for the most part, Hamas propaganda. I haven’t concluded that because I am biased toward Israel–I am, in fact, biased toward Israel and hence skeptical of claims made against it–but because I have seen how absurd the coverage is and know who is doing the reporting from the Gaza Strip. 

The New York Times employs an actual Nazi–no, that is not an exaggeration, he has posted on social media about how much he admires Hitler–to write front-page stories on the war. The Associated Press has a photographer who literally participated in the October 7th massacres and is on video racing toward the massacre holding a grenade. The statistics come from the Gaza Health Ministry, which is an arm of Hamas, and the United Nations’ UNRWA is riddled with terrorists and teaches children how to massacre Jews as part of its curriculum. 

Israel has plenty of reasons to whitewash its reporting from Gaza that comes through the military, and no doubt plenty of awful things are happening there–it is war, after all, and even civilized nations do horrific things in war because, well, war…–but I know with certainty that what is reported in the media is fatally flawed. 

So for many people, when they see Western governments like the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia recognize a Palestinian state, they mistakenly believe that these governments are responding this way because they are horrified by Israel’s actions in Gaza and are seeking to move toward peace. 





Yeah, no. Not in the slightest is that true. There may be government ministers who shed tears for Gazans, no doubt, either because they hate Israel to begin with or because they genuinely believe that a genocide is happening there, but these governments are not taking this momentous step for such noble reasons. 

It’s because they are scared of the Muslims they have imported. They are doing so for the same reason they are arresting Britons for waving British, English, Welsh, or Scottish flags while ignoring Muslims waving the flags of Hamas and Hezbollah: they are scared witless. 

As we have all focused on the massive campaign to tear down English flags and arrest people waving them, we have to remember that the concern over “offending” people only goes one way. No doubt millions of Britons are offended by Islamists declaring that they will impose Sharia law when they have enough political power or that they want to kill all Jews, but nobody saying so is arrested. Instead, they are coddled, and the police go after anybody who objects. 





They do this because they know two things: Britons will not slit somebody’s throat if they are confronted and have a flag ripped away from them, and that many Muslims will do so without a second thought. 

As Muslims take over streets to pray–an act designed to assert power, as they can pray without disrupting everybody’s lives–Christians are hauled away when they discuss the Bible in public and can get arrested for silently praying. 

The UK and the EU have literally banned online interpretations and forums on the Bible because they may offend. 

They are scared. Terrified, really. And with good reason. For all the talk of diversity being their strength, they have seen the Islamists riot in the streets, attack women with acid, and commit horrific crimes against women and children. They have seen hundreds of thousands march through their streets carrying Hamas and Hezbollah flags, and they have every reason to be terrified. 





Look at Milan. For the crime of not recognizing a Palestinian state, the city is being destroyed. 

Not only are these countries sacrificing their principles out of fear, but they are also literally rewarding the Palestinians for terrorism. There are still HOSTAGES being held by Hamas. Hamas releases videos of hostages–starving to death as if they were in a concentration camp–digging their own graves in an underground tunnel in which they have been trapped for nearly two years, and their response is to reward this behavior. 

Because they are terrified. It is the same reason they talk bravely of deporting the illegal migrants who stream into the country, but instead hand them free housing, medical care, and a stipend. 

They are perfectly willing to talk tough about defending democracy in Ukraine because they know that Russia is actually powerless to harm them in any significant way, and for all their talk, it is the United States that has borne the burden of supplying most of the aid. They puff up like peacocks and strut, but when it comes to defending their civilization against an existential threat, they go Neville Chamberlain. 





They are terrified. So terrified that they allow gangs to r@pe children, and have been doing so for decades. 

And it’s not just the radical Muslims of whom they are terrified. They are terrified of Antifa and the radicals who have attached themselves to the Palestinian cause. The left sees the Palestinian cause as embodying every cause they coalesce around. The socialists have adopted the cause, as has every radical group. This is why Greta Thunberg is campaigning on this issue. 

Climate change used to be the unifying cause. Palestine is now. The issues are excuses for attacking the West, not the reason they do so. 

Western leaders are scared to fight for our civilization, and Israel is just the baby they are throwing to the wolves. 

Cowardice, not principle, has led them to this juncture.
