Managing the Paradox

Special contradictions characterise the war in the Middle East. The enemies and friends of old have changed positions. The moderate Arab countries are becoming new friends. In contrast, Europe has paradoxically become the new enemy of the existence of the Jewish people and the state of Israel and thus stands in the way of global progress and peace.

The Abraham Accords have, on the one hand, initially ensured an entente between several Arab countries and Israel, but also put the matter on edge with Iran and its proxies. October 7 was the fuse in the powder keg with which Iran and its proxies, supported by the useful idiots in the West, tried to destroy an apotheosis.

Israel, actively supported by the USA and passively by the coalition of moderate Sunni countries, forms a “first line of defence” against this existential struggle between evil and good. This decades-old struggle, fueled by Iran, has caused a schism in the Sunni and Western world.

On the one hand, moderate and prosperity-oriented Arab countries are pushing for peace with Israel and the USA, while on the other hand, the fanatical advocates of an Islamic jihad led by Iran, supported by woke and left-wing movements in the USA and Europe, are pushing for an apocalypse in the Middle East and beyond.

The role of the liberal democrats in the USA and the social democrats in Europe, who have chosen the side of jihadism, against Israel and thus for evil based on naive moral idealistic convictions aimed at short-term self-interest, is special.

The paradox consists of an antagonistic movement between parties that opt for an apocalypse and parties that opt for an apotheosis. The consequence of this reversal of positions is that anti-Semitism as a crowbar has acquired a whole new dimension in Europe and the USA, with universities and left-wing political parties in the West, hand in hand, actively providing lip service to the emerging jihadism.

There are voices in Europe to actively boycott Israel and actively deprive it of its right to self-defence by withholding equipment for this purpose. With this, Europe is directly entering the frontline and actively choosing a hostile role against Israel.

Israel is currently fighting a war on seven fronts, with the battle on the ground and in the air being frustrated by the fight in the Western media and the influence of mainstream public opinion. Israel is forced to fight with its hands behind its back against a barbaric enemy that does not care about the international laws of war.

The masses in the West are being brainwashed by a left-wing media with a gutmenschen syndrome, fed by carefully orchestrated Hamas propaganda, which is swallowed whole. Political parties, universities, and the debate are being torn apart and polarised, with parties being violently set against each other. Old tendencies from a dark past are emerging again as a means to seize power.

The struggle is complicated by the fact that Western NGOs, the UN, and the political left are actively fueling the terror against Israel and are taking the front line. On the one hand, the result is a polarisation in the Western world in which Jewish citizens are intimidated and excluded, and non-Jewish citizens are carefully silenced.

On the other hand, we see that the middle classes in European society are slowly waking up to this, are starting to resist and are beginning to ask questions about a) this unwanted and hypocritical development and b) what the consequences are of decades of uncontrolled Islamic mass immigration that is beginning to take its toll on the homogeneity of Western society.

However, Europe is heading full speed towards self-destruction through a coup d'état by a left-wing deep state in the Western world based on hypocritical moral standards and values. These combined forces are shamelessly throwing out the Jewish/Christian norms and values ​​, and the enlightened civilisation.

Moderate social democracy is dead and has been expressed as a new form of radical national socialism in which, paradoxically, hatred of Jews has become central under the guise of criticism of Israel's right to self-defence.

At the same time, Islamic newcomers are being embraced as a desirable new electorate to disrupt existing relationships in an apocalyptic manner. A cocktail of stupidity, self-interest, short-sightedness, and opportunism is the ingredients for a major impending conflict in which Europe threatens to destroy itself.

Europe is unwittingly on the eve of a significant civil war in which the dispute in the Middle East is being used as an alibi to call for a left-wing radical revolution supported by a mass of Salafist Muslim emigrants, as if it were a seventh column.

Woke, left-wing groups in the Western world, driven by climate alarmism, gender neutrality and Geopolitical moral opportunistic idealism, supported by the existing and incompetent establishment, are increasingly showing a fatal lemming behaviour in which 20 centuries of civilisation and prosperity are being sacrificed.

Paradoxically, there is also a counter-movement in which Republican America, hand in hand with Israel and the moderate Sunni countries, is steering towards a robust response to these violent developments by eliminating the source of evil and its followers and laying a foundation for peace and prosperity.

This latter development can only succeed through strong leadership and perseverance. The outcome of this struggle will create a new world order in which the enemies of the past enter a covenant of friendship to stimulate and realise security and prosperity.

The new covenant will have to close ranks to resist the enemy outside, but especially the enemy within our borders.

Before that happens, the evil in the Middle East must first be eradicated root and branch. Iran's proxies must be eliminated once and for all before there is a basis for lasting peace. The Iranian people, now that the regime in Tehran has been seriously weakened, must seize their chance to put their own house in order and let Iran rejoin the "coalition of the willing".

The friends of the Enlightenment in old Europe have chosen the wrong and dark side of a medieval, barbaric group. They are doomed to end up on the margins of history as a forgotten and impoverished continent that has perished through self-destruction. The paradox could not be greater.
