But, but,,what will CNN and MSNBC and the women of "The View" think? What about the miseducated kampus keffiyeh-klad say? TD
"History is shaped not by sentiment but by force, strategy, and the will to survive. Now is the time for Israel to heed Trump’s advice to secure its future—not through another shaky ceasefire, not through another cycle of half-measures, but through the decisive resolution of a century-old conflict."
"In announcing the relocation of Palestinians from Gaza, Trump gave the world a brilliant masterclass in realpolitik. Let’s break it down:
"If there is one thing we should be able to agree on, at least the few of us who have opened a history book, it is that ethnic hatred courses just under the skin of civilized men ready to erupt from the slightest of provocations.
"This has been the case throughout history. The Ancient Greek city-states, from Athens to Sparta, from Thebes to Corinth, despite having so much in common, would periodically descend into brutal wars over seemingly nothing. This paradigm has continued unabated for millennia. Just in the last 100 years, we’ve had the Armenian Genocide killing 1.2M, the Holocaust slaughtering 6M, the Rwanda Genocide butchering 800k, and over 40 more large-scale genocides.
"The utopian idea that international law and man’s material achievements have somehow erased human nature is so counter to the factual record as to be laughable. The fact is, with few exceptions, man is a tribal animal. Homogenous populations breed peace, e.g., Japan and Iceland, while multi-ethnic populations are high-pressure cookers that require constant vigilance to keep from exploding.
"With Trump’s announcement, it is clear he understands both history and human nature. The press, on the other hand, not so much, or even at all. The WSJ called Trump’s announcement “preposterous,” Al Jazerra said it was “surreal,” the NY Times called it “stunning,” and the Jerusalem Post called it “unprecedented.”
"Unprecedented, it is not. Expulsions, genocide’s conscientious stepchild, are just as common. After WWII, the Czechs writhed in hatred against the Germans who had forced hundreds of thousands of Czechs to flee the Sudetenland. Not to be outdone, the Czechs brutally forced 3M Germans out of Czechoslovakia after the war.
"Imagine the outrage of the free world." . . . More here...
