Krauthammer Never Talks About Israel

in this stirring endorsement of John McCain in today's Washington Post. Why do I think that Israel's protection is central, intellectually, to his crazed belief  that "We [the U.S.] have a generations-long struggle with Islamic jihadism"? As Israel is central to the increasingly desperate efforts of the Republican Jewish Coalition to smear Obama and his surrogates, including Mel Levine. At least the RJC is halfway straightforward about this. Remember when Francis Fukuyama dared to wonder about the Israel-first motivation of the Iraq war nuts and Krauthammer accused him of Judeophobia? In the same racialist way that he says here that Jeremiah Wright's "race-baiting" is the true shadow side of Obama.

Can't we please move past this tribalist conversation? Yes we can: and Obama will do it for us, by marginalizing the neocons, and by triangulating me and Mel Levine.

(Though I must hand it to Krauthammer, he can write a killer column.)

    The fact that the neocons and many absurdly
    philosemitic goyim make use of the issue of
    Islamic extremism does not, in fact, mean
    that Islamism is not a problem; nor is it true
    that Wright's leukophobic tirades are irrelevant to an analysis of the Obamessiah's ideological convictions.

    Krauhammer didn't use to be so coy about mentioning Israel. Today as the stench of the elephant grows ever more unbearable he is reluctant to draw attention to it, but in this 1998 article from the Weekly Standard he was more upfront about his preoccupations–
    At Last Zion: Israel and the Fate of the Jews

    This piece is all over the J-sphere. Henry Kissinger called it "one of the most important I have come across. Krauthammer has given me an enormous amount of food for thought and makes our present course of policy even more disturbing to me."

    Nowadays there is little chance you will see Israel mentioned in a Krauthammer column (unless of course he gets to also mention the Holocaust®).

    This post did not need to be 'below the fold'. Phil, you're in danger of making it a pain to read your blog.

    Islamism is a problem because Judeofascists like Krathammer and his cousins in Israel have made it one, in collaboration with mammonite Empire and war profiteering Cheneyite types. Islam is some 1300 years old, and only seems to have become an “existential” threat when first Jewish Zionist and later capitalist money-worshippers and their degenerate atheistic left-liberal partners decided they wanted to homicide it (many of the latter of whom are Obama's brain trust). Left-liberals, the Neocons, the Neolibs…parasites and degenerates all, and completely inimical to civilization, because they can only thrive as termites eating away on foundations that non-parasitic peoples have built (Western Christian civilization in particular). If Islam ever truly does become a problem, we’re going to have to get rid of the rats in our own house first in order to properly deal with it. Rats like Krauthammer, who should have made aliya decades ago.

    Shame on all those Muslim helots not to recognize their proper place in the grand scheme of things.

    Christianity combined with the Greco-Roman tradition of technology, science, inquiry and philosophy is the basis of Western civilization — and despite the best efforts of Judeofascists and atheistic materialists on both the Left and Right, Western civilization isn’t going to go down without a fight. Great civilizations are like organisms, and they have plenty of resources draw upon when threatened. In the West, those that comprise a dedication to Western civilization and its principles are the non-parasitic peoples.

    I’m not even sure if Weiss knows it, but he’s a Christianized Jew, and a product of Western civilization. And there are probably hundreds of thousands of other Jews like him in the West.

    For the same reasons that the best way to deal with African-American criminals in the ghetto is to hire mostly black cops to police them, the role of Christianized Jews in the West is to flay and whip the subversive Judeofascists and the inbred Jewish Zionists out of Western civilization before they do more damage than they already have, and to help cauterize the wounds they have inflicted.

    Weiss may harbor left-liberal peace, love and hippy beans fantasies, but nearly every post on this blog screams: WARNING! WARNING! JUDEOFASCIST SUBVERSIVES ABOUND, which is why guys like Witty and SOG — inbred Jews — protest so much. They and the Krauthammer types are ghetto Jews who belong in Jewish ghettos (Israel), and Weiss is a Christianized Jew. The two are like oil and water.

    Yes, there's a historical difference of great substance between an open society and a closed one.

  9. Ken Hoop says:

    Properly, Europe probably does have an "Islamic" problem, but America does not, not the real America, America the Nation. Only the Empire which the Founders would have abhorred, has the problem. The America that should hold sway in this hemisphere and vacate Europe and the Mideast has no problem;then again, that is not Krauthammer's America.

  10. Ed says:

    Russia, Europe, nor America will ever have a Judeofascist or Islamic totalitarian problem again in our lifetimes if we return to the tenets of Western civilization upon which we were built. Such a return will likely protect several generations of our children of all races, as well…which is why the Judeofascists and their left/right atheist-materialist collaborators are hell-bent on preventing it. They can only thrive in chaos. “Creative destruction” they like to call it. But that’s just a euphemism for the normalization of evil, which is what they always beget.
