Governments and media – the useful idiots for Hamas
by Andrew Devine, TCW:
AFTER Hamas’s terror spree inside Israel on October 7, Western cities have had several months of Islamic extremists and their leftist fellow travellers brazenly parading through the streets calling for the destruction of the world’s only Jewish state. As Mark Steyn so accurately points out, those pro-Jihad marches are indicative of the effect of mass immigration from the Islamic world and the social pathologies associated with it that will have an ever-growing impact on the demographics, culture and politics of Western countries.
In alliance with the Islamists on those anti-Israel demos are certain far-left groups such as the Socialist Workers Party who are not so much apologists or sympathisers for Islamists but full-throated supporters of Jihadi terror, as we can see from their own publication.
Suella Braverman was right. These are hate marches.
Sure, there are probably plenty of useful idiots in attendance who aren’t ardent Hamas supporters or sympathisers, but the fact is there are legions who are. If you march alongside supporters and sympathisers of Hamas, you are on a hate march whatever your own motivations may be.
We are now at a crossroads in the West in which Islamism and the Neo Marxist ‘progressivism’ that facilitates it needs to be rooted out of society. A failure to do so and Western liberal democracy and the cultures that underpin it could well be finished, as both these ideologies are committed to destroying the West as we know and cherish it. Tragically, in Britain in particular, there’s no hint of that fightback. Some of you may be rolling your eyes and think that those threats are wildly exaggerated. I hope that you’re right and I’m wrong, but as Mark Steyn chillingly remarked, ‘permanence is the delusion of every age’.
The relative stability of liberal democracy with its concomitant individual freedoms and material abundance is no more the natural order of things than any other way of structuring and ordering society throughout history. To preserve liberal democracy you have to defend it and remain vigilant to what threatens it.
