It’s Okay To Sit One Out

Submitted by a peaceful anon

Hamas raided Israeli land. Demonstrators rallied to support the Palestinian cause. Friends of Israel lit up with a fury not seen in ages. The Internet filled with calls of ethnic cleansing, genocide and even “glassing”. It did not matter which side, the messaging was heated from day one. As white westerners living thousands of miles away from the battlefield, let us all sit this one out and pray for peace.

Similar to the Ukraine-Russia war, there is no direct interest in this conflict for the average westerner. Let us pray for peace. One upside is this may end the blank check the West wrote to Ukraine, which should deescalate that conflict. This new conflict is also fraught with dangerous escalation triggers. The difference here is most Ukrainian battlefield escalations had one opponent to worry about, albeit a nuclear armed foe. This conflict involves multiple terrible permutations for escalation.

If Israel steamrolls Gaza, do Muslims kick off terror attacks at targets sympathetic to Israel in the West? Does Hezbollah attack in the north once IDF assets commit to Gaza? Does Lebanon, currently ‘governed’ by a coalition with Hezbollah as a member, commit forces or simply free passage for Shia militias into Lebanon? Does Syria deploy assets to aid Hezbollah? Does Iran directly engage or simply fund and supply their proxies? Does Jordan remain stable? Does any force take shots at the significant naval surface vessels now in the Eastern Med? Do the nuclear implied threats Mr. Shapiro mentioned get triggered? Do American troops become a factor either in direct conflict or as peacekeeper policing roles? Does a proxy force take a shot at Al-tanf which controls the shortest route for the Shia corridor?

Please read that link on the Al-tanf base as President Trump wanted it wound down but our elite keeps it open for three reasons and none are good. Train Syrian rebels? That time is over and America had bases to train rebels in safe Jordan, so why have that risky base? It is explicitly to disrupt the Shia supply corridor. The other entry point on the more northern land route between Syria & Iraq was just bombed by the Israelis. American troops have been an exposed tripwire for greater involvement in Syria, and now, that camp is a tripwire for American involvement in this new conflict. It is purely a trap and American troops are the bait.

Whether your sympathies lie with Israel or the Palestinians, no need to voice them. “Golly gee, boss, I’m just praying for peace and that this does not escalate,” is fine if it comes up at work. Intel services will be monitoring support expressed online. Tying entities or individuals to supporting Hamas will make you a target, and if you are on the right, our intel community is already interested in you as a target. Don’t make their job easier. This is a big distraction from the many problems we have in our Western nations. It also offers opportunities.

The squabbles on the left open up a crack in their coalition. Press on this. As Chris Rufo has pointed out, decolonization rhetoric is all through academia pointed at ‘settler nations’. Americans, Australians, Canadians etc. are already considered the same as Israel. Blubbering wimp Chris Hayes titled his book A Colony in a Nation to connect the rhetoric to our American situation. The left’s rabble sees the Hamas raid and drools at the prospect of that happening in America today. Point this out. Tie this ideological albatross around the left’s neck. Attack academia, NGO funding, the antifa-adjacent class and the street activist class. Cancel them? Uhhhh, maybe just make donors aware of their vassals’ statements; they can enjoy free speech.

The other opportunity is the very pro-zionist crowd must be made to see that many people may be sympathetic to their situation but would like the same rules of engagement for themselves. Bill Ackman tweeted one of the most oblivious tweets of all-time asking how Americans would feel if this happened across the Mexican border. Well, Mr. Ackman, it does happen, has been happening for decades, and yes, we do know how it feels. Now may we Heritage-Americans react the same as Israel? Atrocities against pretty, Israeli ravers and kidnapped Israeli children justify a righteous response? Why yes, this is horrific. Now allow Euros and Americans to express righteous anger, govern appropriately and strike hard for the deaths of Ebba Akerlund and Mollie Tibbetts. Attacking a rave is terrifying. It is like attacking a concert. Did you know at Bataclan, jihadis not only killed hostages but castrated some before killing them? If pictures are to be used to generate sympathy for the IDF’s work and play on heart strings, then this unnamed dead child from the Nice Truck Attack should have justified deportations and retribution.

2016 Nice Truck Attack

As Tucker Carlson stated, these hundreds of deaths in Israel are sad, yet we see 100,000 overdose deaths each year due to our porous border, lax immigration enforcement for those inside already and murky work at the border between federal agencies, cartels, human smugglers, NGOs and other third parties. Israel should be vigilant protecting their borders, but so should America. We (and EU nations) deserve the same use of law enforcement. If military aid is to be provided, the rhetoric and messaging that prevents us from enjoying the same vigilance must end. “What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander,” as the saying goes. Foreigners committing terroristic acts should not be part and parcel of living in any nation.

Need a two way street.

The call to relocate Palestinians in America has already begun. No, sorry, per Israeli media figures, these Palestinians all support Hamas, and we should not plant seeds of terrorist sympathizers on our shores. Right wing Americans should be burning the phones to elected federal representatives to prevent this and pushing their state houses to just say no to ‘refugees’. If your church is a treasonous entity or wobbly when the word refugee is uttered, get involved and active now. Just say no.

Do support those who also take the opportunity to push for an end to immigration. We all know the same entities pushing woke insanity are open borders. They build strength by creating new, tenuously connected to the center clients. Remove them. These numerous pro-Palestinian rallies would not happen without many imported bodies (not just the indoctrinated). Close the borders to protect those endangered Jews who feel insecure waking up to a West where their nominal allies want them dead. We will shut the border and deport to protect them. America should deport tens of millions so that our 6 million American Jews feel comfortable walking city streets. Our cities should be safe.

I pray for peace. I pray for a quick resolution. I pray that there is no escalation of hostilities. Let us all wish the people of the Middle East good luck, provide our thoughts & prayers and focus on our own problems.
