A recurring theme of the ongoing war on society by the Left is how the Left is trying to pull the roof down on Western Civilization. All of the ideas about building a Utopian future have fallen away and what’s left is nothing but an urge to destroy. They are like spoiled children, unhappy with not getting their way, so they are determined to make the rest of us carry their misery. Immigration is a great example. Let’s take a look at France today.
Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters marched in French cities on Saturday to condemn violence in Gaza, defying a ban imposed after demonstrators marched on two synagogues in Paris last weekend and clashed with riot police.
A Reuters photographer said demonstrators in northern Paris launched projectiles at riot police, who responded by firing teargas canisters and stun grenades.
Demonstrators also climbed on top of a building and burned an Israeli flag. At least one car was set on fire.
A police spokesman said that 38 demonstrators had been arrested by early evening and that the clashes were dying down.
In a sane world, the French people would not care all that much about what was happening between natives in a foreign land. If it were one of her colonies, maybe it would make the news. Otherwise, the French would not be terribly vexed about what was happening between Arabs and Jews. Of course, these riots are not caused by French people. They are caused by Arabs imported into France for no reason.
French President Francois Hollande said he understood emotional responses to the killing of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip in a flare-up of hostilities with Israel but would not allow violence to spill over into France.
“That’s why I asked the interior minister, after an investigation, to ensure that such protests would not take place,” he told journalists during a visit to Chad.
Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve justified bans in Paris, the Sarcelles suburb and the Mediterranean city of Nice by saying the security risk was too great, prompting outrage from left-wing and pro-Palestinian groups.
So there you are. Left-wing groups pushed to have Arabs imported into France and now they are helping them burn down French cities and attack French Jews. What possible reason, other than national suicide, could there be for importing these savages and then letting them run wild in French cities?
Make no mistake, these “pro-Palestinian groups” are nothing more than low-IQ savages. The reason they are in France is they made their lands in the Levant unlivable. Their fellow Arabs despise them and refuse to let them into their lands. The Jews, of course, want them off the land, so they conspire to ship them north.
That’s the other part of it. Every open borders group on earth is financed by and organized by Jews. That means the Jews in France are being assaulted by Arabs, because Jewish immigration groups in Europe conspired with Israel to ship the Arabs into France, where they set about attacking Jews. Israel hopes to get the Ashkenazim fleeing Europe and the immigration groups weaken France.
“Without cyclical bouts of suffering, tyranny and violence then peace and security have no meaning”
I think peace is a value that stands on its own. It doesn’t need a contrast to be experienced and appreciated.
“like cold and hot or light and dark. We may transcend this selfish and polarized realm of the ego someday.”
Hopefully sooner than later.
Shuddh,
Agreed with your sentiment here in general. Yet there are limits. Peace is always fragile, transient– why is that? Peace-loving societies that cannot or will not defend themselves from inevitable enemies will disappear.
Without cyclical bouts of suffering, tyranny and violence then peace and security have no meaning, like cold and hot or light and dark. We may transcend this selfish and polarized realm of the ego someday. For now, practicing empathy is a good thing and I empathize with the French in this case.
Hannon, ” Well, my tribe is more important to me than yours and my home is more important to me than my neighbor’s. That used to be “normal” but now it is labeled “hate”. ”
Yes it is normal, average and ordinary. However, above average persons are able to think beyond just “I, Me, Mine”.
“Universal equality is an untenable and very destructive philosophy.”
Lokah Samastah Sukinoh Bhavantu is an ancient Sanskrit saying that means, “May All Regions Be Granted Peace”.
There is also another one, “May All Sentient Beings Know Peace”.
Thinking in terms of one’s own family is slightly more advanced than thinking in terms of one’s own self. But extending the same desires for peace and well-being that you wish for yourself and your family to other persons outside your family and beyond is higher still.
The ancient sages were of the opinion that humans could practice empathy.
Were they right or wrong?
Deb Judge, “How exactly is 2000 people yelling “kill all the Jews” an example of empathy and compassion for others?”
I never suggested it was.
Om Shalom!
The thing is, there is a right wing undercurrent in France. FN made gains recently for a reason. This will only continue for so long until they’ve finally had enough and they let the riot cops in with hats and bats. I can tell you first hand, those guys do not fuck around. That would be risky and probably a last resort of a kind but there are only so many demonstrations (read: riots) that they can absorb before things go pear shaped.
Shudh Bharatiyaan means “Pure Indian” btw
This article nails it. I am tired of mendacious stories about “French” rioters and “French” youth rioting in support of the Palestinians. These “youth” are about as French as John Kerry. The actual French, who are probably the most chauvinistic culture in Europe, are not going to tolerate this nonsense for long. It must be tough to be a Frenchman these days, torn between the religion of liberalism, and the religion of “Frenchness”. My guess is, Frenchness wins.

Shuddh:
Where do you get your news? Do you know the latest of unrest in Burma or Fiji or on the Colombia-Venezuela border? The media routinely drops news bombs that are devoid of meaningfulness, context or follow-up. Where is the humanity in that, and where do you suppose we derive our understanding and compassion for our fellow man these days?
Instead of such service the media is promoting a truly demonic idea, namely that all these events, people and places are _interchangeable_, that no individual or tribe is more important than any other. Well, my tribe is more important to me than yours and my home is more important to me than my neighbor’s. That used to be “normal” but now it is labeled “hate”. Universal equality is an untenable and very destructive philosophy.
The vomiting of the state of Israel on the people of Palestine was the US’s biggest foreign policy error since WWII.
Excellent post. The problem with the “bleeding heart” types, who always pose their words as if no one else is compassionate or caring, is that their hearts bleed for the wrong people: those who are at the bottom rungs of society. As if such people are somehow incapable of gross immorality and terrible deeds, and all the wrongs in the world are directed at them from people of higher status. This ubiquitous position is an irrational one. As the French Revolution demonstrates, the masses can impose a tyranny just as effectively as any elite class.
“Its not “insane” to care about what happens to fellow humans outside of one’s own national boarders. There is such a thing as empathy and another thing called compassion.”
If that were really the case, the rioters would be protesting the rocket attacks Hamas launched on Israeli civilians to start the hostilities. The goal of Hamas and other Palestinian radicals continues to be the destruction of Israel, whatever the cost of misery and suffering to their own people. 7th Century barbarians, all of them.
How exactly is 2000 people yelling “kill all the Jews” an example of empathy and compassion for others?
Zman calls lots of low IQ savages ‘low IQ savages’. Accuracy is not bias.
1. Sloping foreheads? check.
2. Drool. check
3. Prognathous jaw? check
4. Inane chatter? check
5. Prominent brow ridges? check
6. Murderous? check
7. Fling crap? Spittle flies when yelling? check
8. Poor taste in haberdashery? check and double check.
Let’s see. Could be Ted Kennedy. Nope.
Must be low IQ savages. QED
Inbreeding’s a bitch.
“In a sane world, the French people would not care all that much about what was happening between natives in a foreign land.”
Its not “insane” to care about what happens to fellow humans outside of one’s own national boarders. There is such a thing as empathy and another thing called compassion.
“If it were one of her colonies, maybe it would make the news.”
Surely you are not suggesting that news in each country should contain only events that take place within the boarders of each respective country, are you?
Not having access to world events makes one ignorant of the world he or she lives in.
“Make no mistake, these “pro-Palestinian groups” are nothing more than low-IQ savages.”
Bias showing much?
