Actually, Lucy I wish everybody spent as much time as you did digging for the truth. It’s exhausting and we should not have to do it unfortunately, it’s what we have to do. I feel the same way you do I should not have had to do so but we had to and thank you for this.

Arguably the truth is irrelevant, and this is explicitly demonstrated by the factual inversion that the subversive Islamic Progressive Axis imposes to distort reality. Gaza is simply a weapon to undermine the fractured Judeo-Christian alliance. Western civilisation is complacent and underestimates the danger of what is occurring across Europe and US university campuses and cities. The Muslim Brotherhood’s psyop is winning the propaganda war while Western civilisation is descending into chaos. Truth will not prevail to counter balance the narrative, the West’s enemies have been plotting their campaign of retribution since the founding of modern Israel. Until recently the objective was simply to destroy Israel, however now with Qatari funding and the Muslim Brotherhood’s manifesto their ambition is to establish a global caliphate. Ultimately progressive sympathisers will demand western governments impose Sharia law to demonstrate their moral superiority and symbolic allegiance against the fabricated genocide that Israel is maliciously accused of perpetrating. History will reflect upon this era as the inflection point in the decline of democratic freedoms. We are witnessing, without any coordinated resistance, the transition to a new Dark Age. Forced conversion to Islam will follow, possibly by then those who recognise the truth will organise and resist.

Unfortunately you’re right

Lately, all I see is the boiling frog metaphor: the Islamic Brotherhood is slowly heating the water of Western society and we don’t even notice that we are cooking. All this proof and we choose to stay in the pot, slowly boiling, viewing reality through the optics of Jew hatred. Thank you Lucy for choosing to be a dedicated lighthouse keeper. I’d get lost in the fog if it weren’t for you!

Brilliantly written.

Yes, brilliant it is, perhaps the best analysis that I have yet come across of the way in which contemporary antisemitism operates.

One of the inversions is the one about agency. Palestinians' choices are the ones they've had for at least 90 years: partition, peace, and a chance at prosperity, or permanent violence in the vain hope of a Jew-free Palestine. Since they have consistently chosen the latter, Israel's choices are to fight or to die.

From the very start the Free Palestine cult members infesting legacy media were careful to never mention Hamas. For the very same reason Amnesty International were screaming “genocide” from the start, by took 26 months to refer to the Hamas atrocities that started the war. Over time their gullible, naturally Jew-hating progressive readership picked up on this forced narrative of “Israel versus poor Palestinian civilians”. That says a lot about how foul progressives are, and what useful idiots they are for Hamas.

Every single sentence in this article is perfectly stated.

Lucy, it's as if you read my mind and put thought to paper, so intelligently and clearly presented. Gratitude for your insights, understanding, and wisdom. There is a mind worm that wriggles and burrows its way into so many minds and clouds the ability to think critically. Those of us immune to this mind worm wonder how others don't see as clearly as do you.

It all boils down to Jew-hatred. Had Hamas or the fake 'palestinians' attacked anyone else, they would have been flattened, glassed, decimated, and their carcasses left to rot in the wreckage they created. But since they attacked JEWS, their action is somehow "resistance". Resistance to WHAT exactly? To the disaster they created themselves out of their Jew-hatred? It is time for this to be broadcast from the hills. Israel and the Diaspora Jewish communities, at least those who haven't succumbed to JINOism, need to buy time on every single network and news outlet and get the truth out there. Sure, Qatar and Al Jazeera will try to counter, so let's publicize just how much each university and each politician is getting from them.

Great article Lucy, thank you.

"What strikes me again and again in conversations about Israel is how completely Hamas vanishes from the moral universe these activists inhabit."

It is the Hamas mindset that must be destroyed. I think it should be possible. Or at least, to undermine the support they receive from Qatar etc.

How?

Very simply: The Koran itself justifies the existence of the State of Israel as the home for Jews.

This fact is seldom mentioned. And never mentioned by Hamas and its supporters.

The reality they must face, according to the Koran itself: Allah is a Zionist.

I have written a book with the title: "Allah is a Zonist". See the details via this link:

You must get a ton of death threats writing a book like that. I salute your courage

Disappointingly few.

I hope the useful idiots supporting Hamas will someday come to recognize their inhumanity and stupidity. They think they are "supporting the Palestinians." That may even be their intention. The actual consequence has been and will be greater Palestinian suffering as Israel does what it must.

An excellent essay by Lucy as always! Israel and the Jews have become the world’s scapegoat for every problem including one’s that are actually caused by Hamas. Hamas wantonly murders Palestinian civilians NOT Israel! Hamas stole aid NOT Israel! Hamas committed genocide and ethnic cleansing, NOT Israel! Hamas discriminates against Christians NOT Israel! Meanwhile, no one has a word to say about Iran, Qatar, Hamas, Hezbollah, The Houthis, or Turkey. Everyone claims Israel “owns” the United States but Qatarian influence in America which is a real problem and very prominent, gets a free pass. How about Sudan’s 20-year genocide against certain black ethnic groups? Yawn! But Israel’s historically humane war in Gaza is genocide somehow. The Palestinian cause is a big deal but no one has anything to say about Nigerian Christians being murdered by Boko Haram or the plight of the Kurds.

The UN and NGOs fixate on Israel but have nothing or very little to say about Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Congo, Egypt, Iraq, Sudan, Uganda, The Philippines, Myanmar, Fatah, or any Islamist group. Not a single UN resolution has been passed against Hamas to my knowledge. The UN has said diddly squat about October 7th. The UN never spoke up as Hamas jailed and tortured dissenters and journalists, executed gay people, treated women as chattel, wantonly murdered Israeli civilians, discriminated against Christians and black people, bans Jews from being citizens of Gaza, practiced open slavery, dowries, honor killings, and acid attacks, committed mass murder and mass rape, sacked, burned and looted Kibbutzims, and kidnapped hundreds of innocent people.

The UN didn’t say a word about Hamas using child labor to build their tunnels, stealing billions in humanitarian aid, using civilians as human shields, and putting weapons in hospitals, schools and apartment buildings. The UN said f*** all about Libyans hunting down and murdering Afro-Libyans and Sub-Saharan African workers after the fall of Gaddafi, the Turks slaughtering the Kurds in Syria, China’s brutal fifty-year occupation of Tibet, or Pakistan heartlessly expelling millions of Afghan refugees trying to get away from the Taliban. Tell me again how Israel is the problem?

Lucy, you are a superb psychologist. We need to understand " why" the West has mentally regressed, chosen the ignorance of facts that they reasonably know are true . The perversion of mind is what is at stake here. One thing is to be partisan. Another is to pervert. That happened with the Nazis and the Soviets . But those were not free societies. Why would the privileged, informed, educated free West, of its own volition, invert core moral notions, sanitize evil and abandon straight thinking?

Outstanding work, Lucy. Should be sent to every senator and congressman. The US needs to stop playing footsy with jihadists.
