"THERE WILL BE PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST ONE WAY OR THE OTHER," wrote Donald Trump on truth social this morning.

[But I thought the goal of this war was to destroy hamas.]
"yesterday, on Yom Kippur, a syrian-born british [sic] terrorist killed two Jews and injured three others outside the Heaton park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Manchester, england. this was followed by violent pro-hamas demonstrations [N.S.: In English, we call violent demonstrations, "riots."] outside 10 Downing street and elsewhere. today, the wall street journal reports that in britain, 'the first six months of 2025 witnessed 1,521 antisemitic incidents, according to the protection organization, the community security trust (cst). that's the second-highest tally for the january-june period, behind only the 2,019 incidents in early 2024." [The phrase "antisemitic incidents" is too vague.] yesterday was the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. despite the unusually horrific outcome, it was just another day in england.
"viewing the endless footage of the anti-Semitic protests [sic] that have exploded through the u.k. over the past two years, it's a miracle that such incidents aren't even more common. look at the massive mobs in masks and keffiyehs waving palestinian [sic] flags, chanting terrorist slogans, and setting off flares—with or without the smoke, you won't recognize england anymore.
"the u.k. is a leading example, but it's hardly an outlier. as we approach the second anniversary of the october 7 attack on Israel, it's clear that hamas set off a chain of events that not only ensured its own demise [Nonsense!] but also sped up the slower demise of the west. european leaders such as the u.k.'s Keir Starmer and france's Emmanuel Macron are busy recognizing a palestinian state that doesn't exist while ignoring the ones taking shape in the countries they govern.
[And did Zionists in europe, england, and the U.S. fight jihadi immigration into their respective countries?]
"european leaders have worked out an accommodation with their jihad enthusiasts. while the mobs multiply and murder, the governments will continue to pretend that it's all about Israel. the problem is that there's no endgame, and the arrangement is sure to outlast Israel's war.
"but for the vigilance of the Trump administration's efforts to crack down on anti-Semitism and its support for Israel, the U.S. would doubtless be playing a similar game by now. both Kamala Harris and Joe Biden declared that the chanting mobs had a point, and the last administration's turn against Israel was well underway by the time Biden left office. and that was before the Mamdanization of the democratic party.
"what comes after Mamdani's probable election as new york city mayor and after Donald Trump's presidency, I couldn't tell you. but most of the modern west is obsessed with spotting the early-warning signs of historical crises ever on the horizon—dictatorship, fascism, world war—while ignoring, excusing, or fomenting the concrete horrors of the present day. for forward-looking Israel, at least, there will be peace."
[N.S.: The hell, there will be.]
