Globalizing the intifada
“Globalize the Intifada” is a phrase used by pro-Palestinian activists that calls for aggressive resistance against Israel and those who support Israel. The most prominent expressions of intifada have been through violence so this phrase is often understood by those saying and hearing it as encouraging violence against Israelis, Jews, and institutions supporting Israel. While the intent of the person saying this phrase may be different, the impact on the Jewish community remains the same.

The past few days surrounding the beginning of Hanukkah left the world stunned by a blatant & bloody attack on Jews in Australia, another attack in the economics class of a Jewish professor and most recently the murder of a highly regarded MIT professor, who happened to be Jewish and a champion of Israel. Are they all connected?

Here is what I know: The west (America, Australia and Europe) has been allowing large numbers of Muslims to immigrate into their countries. This seems to be very beneficial to the Muslims entering such places. Muslims are much safer and better fed than they would be in the middle eastern states they came from. However, many of them seem to have brought with them their extreme views and prejudices. They are not assimilating. Many are committing terrorist acts. In many European countries the birth rate for the Europeans is spiraling downward while the birth rate for Muslims is accelerating. Maybe what Muslims could not accomplish via the sword during the time of the crusades, they are now accomplishing via the womb.

In Australia there is a very progressive government in power. The shooters in Sydney were a Syrian immigrant and his son. The weapons they used in one of the most gun restrictive countries in the world were legally purchased. They supposedly were on a watch list. The Australian government was warned about the imminent danger. Right now, the government of Anthony Albanese seems more concerned about the backlash for Muslims than the lives of Jews. Fifteen were killed in the shooting. A Holocaust survivor and a 10-year-old girl were among the victims. 

In the US, there have been antisemitic riots on campus, some led by Palestinian students and others instigated by leftist professors. Brown University, which was the scene of recent killings, which may go unsolved, was a hotbed of antisemitic activism. Much of the democrat party has now become anti-Israel. The Jewish population of the US, always around 3% of the population is beginning to disappear via intermarriage. In the meantime, the Muslim population has rapidly gone from near zero to 3% over only about a decade.


I never thought I would live to see the west allow this to happen to Jewish people, especially after what was pledged by civilized societies after WWII. 

Somehow the Global Intifada movement latched onto the American left's DEI program. Can we defeat the threat or will it be open season on Jews everywhere?

I think the travel bans were an excellent start.

So, why are we wasting resources (money and military) in Eastern Europe?  Why have we positioned a Naval battle fleet in the Caribbean to intimidate a two bit drug lord?  What does a victory lap over bombing Iran achieve when only tiny Israel is stepping up to confront Shia ambitions?

Trump winning a European participation award won't impress anyone.  Gore was given one for being a liar.  Obama was given one for being Black.  Maybe Trump can receive a participation award for being stupid?  

Trump wants to turn Gaza into another French Riviera.  Is this supposed to rival Trump properties in Dubai?  So much for concerns about a global intifada.

America First isn't about policing foreign stupidity.  If the rest of the world wants to go to hell in a handbasket, that's their choice.  Not our concern.  Secure our borders, supply our own needs with our own workers and resources, and make assimilation a requisite for nationalized citizenship.  The United States has no need to accommodate the stupidity of other nations or to appease foreign expectations.

Agreed.
