The terror attacks in Israel happened a year ago today. Are the perpetrators any better off today than they were then? By any reasonable calculation they are not. Many thousands are dead, their cities are rubble, and most of their leaders targeted and killed.
Are the Israelis better off today than a year ago? By some measures the answer is “yes.” They were mired in political squabble a year ago and today they have been unified, as only an active external enemy can do.
Today we are likely to see demonstrations across Europe and North America in support of the Palestinians and in support of the ugliest forms of terrorism. These should be dealt with severely, but likely won’t be.
We are led by wusses and weaklings, abetted by Islamic immigrants who should never have been granted entry. The issue is oikophobia, and it can turn out to be our downfall. Weak people project their weakness onto the society and hate it for the very shortcomings they see in themselves but cannot face.
