Our side’s David Warren is brilliant and his column here at PTBC always excellent, but I thought today’s column was particularly .jpg "image")
brilliant. Do yourself a big favor and take two minutes to read it through. It’s a great antidote to what you find in the regular media. Here’s a snippet:
…But I insist that Israel’s survival is tied to that of the West. She is our front line, an embodiment of unambiguously Western values. The enemies we have are common enemies—Left-fascist ideology (formerly expressed as Communism, but now reorganizing around the “scientific materialism” of the environmentalist cause), and Islamo-fascist ideology (now called “Islamism,” to distinguish political from religious Islam, on the assumption that this can be done).
These are the two great contemporary Sirens, and each calls upon constituencies lodged deep in the West itself. The appeal of simplistic ideological movements spreads in the spiritual vacuum left by the recession of Christianity.
But whatever dark forces answer to the command of these two great Sirens, there is agreement between the Left and the Islamists that Israel is the front line of the West, and that she is sufficiently isolated to be worth destroying first. There is moreover agreement between them that the ultimate target is “Amerika” and the whole “bourgeois, Judeo-Christian” order that has sustained our freedom and prosperity. …
Not to be out-brillianced, in our side’s habitually brilliant Barbara Kay column today, “Pretending to be a people” shines a light on Palestinians, and what might happen if they get their wish for statehood. This is thinking outside the idiot box.
Just to round out our Israel anniversary celebration this week, (we’ve heard from a Christian, a Jew, so now let’s get it from a Muslim!) our Salim Mansur clarified the history and magnificence of the Jewish people and Israel through the ages, in his column from this past Saturday.
Meanwhile, I’m thinking of changing the name of this site to “politically incorrect conservative death-threat central clearing house .com”. Please watch my back.
