Half a century from now, if there still exist countries in which it is possible to research, write and debate freely about history, about politics and about the past, people will study with astonishment and disbelief the colossal operation of deception of the whole of the West that we are witnessing. And which yesterday was symbolised by that mass walkout of delegates from the UN Assembly when the prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, spoke.
The head of government of a tiny democracy surrounded by bloody despotisms was the object of an affront delivered no longer only by that majority of tyrannies and sinister dictatorships that always wanted to destroy it. Joining in the insult were also the delegates of many Western countries that until recently defended Israel, some of whom even claim to go on doing so, but which with few exceptions have aligned themselves, some in radical and obscene fashion and others more discreetly, with all the forces and countries whose objective is the disappearance of that tiny country from the map.
The UN General Assembly was the ideal place for a piece of villainy of this kind, because there is no place on the globe with a greater concentration of moral filth and totalitarian grime. That is what the UN is for, the organisation corrupt to the marrow that the West pays for in order to destroy the West. The only good thing that could come out of the UN is its dissolution, that noble project of the last century having already been irredeemably perverted until it became an implacable machinery for the promotion of lies and the imposition of criminal policies of social engineering and socialist despotism hostile to Western civilisation, to freedom and to truth. Let us hope that Donald Trump or whoever succeeds him will at some point take the decision to stop paying thieves and tyrants with their armies of functionaries devoted to plans to enslave the last corner of the planet.
This deception of the entire West through the globalisation of the propaganda of a terrorist organisation, one of the most monstrously murderous in the world, could in future be considered the beginning of the main phase of the dismantling of the West as a community of countries based on the cult of common virtues and values grounded in rationality, respect for truth and the freedom of the human being, sacred in his dignity, created in the image and likeness of God, grounded in this Christendom that only Donald Trump recalled in a tribute to the only genocide that is real today, the one perpetrated by the Islamists against Christians in Africa and which interests nobody. They are all focused on a genocide that does not exist and which they have created as the fallacious slogan of that propaganda of total effectiveness which all the media vomit out every day at every hour in every country.
Never has there been a propaganda spell of such dimensions, one whose global reach and political effectiveness makes the enchantment of German national socialism, of fascism or of the communist fever of the soviets look like a clumsy exercise in local entertainment, and which is happening right now to the point of leading the most efficient, best informed and most prosperous societies to self-mutilation, to defencelessness, and to preparing their own destruction from within and from without.
The politicians and rulers of Western countries are in their vast majority mediocre tightrope walkers balancing on the moods of voters. And that within democracies eroded by the permanent invasion of people hostile to freedom and to respect for the human being and who are moreover brothers in the fanaticism of their destructive religious ideology to the terrorists of Hamas, who among them all have become the scriptwriters of the farce. By now they have almost managed to get every Western country to say Hamas is entirely right.
And so they also say the same, that they are right, to the Muslim mobs which every day with greater insolence occupy the public space in the streets of the towns and cities of Western countries. Perfectly organised and motivated in this operation of deception, they have taken the streets to proclaim that the streets are theirs. And in fact they already control more and more neighbourhoods, where they use violence and intimidation whenever they think it necessary, confident of their impunity.
It is no longer a matter of foolishness such as the pressure for the two states they want to impose. When there are no Palestinians who want two states. However much the corrupt figures of the Palestinian Authority may claim otherwise, living as they do off it, and being the authority with the least authority in the world, which without Israel’s protection would be devoured within days by Hamas and other groups, which are the ones that will capitalise on these days of shame in New York. It is a matter of the fact that the arm-wrestle they want to win against Israel is one they are winning against the West. And some of us now trust only that Israel will hold out and win this war as it has to win it, annihilating Hamas as Nazism was annihilated, with all the pain caused by the deaths of German civilians and the destroyed cities. That Israel may win and that Western nations may react and rid themselves of the corrupt, cowardly, weak and foolish people who govern them and begin to learn to defend themselves against the same threat Israel faces, because the existence of those European and American nations of the south, the centre and the north, of the whole West, is as much at stake as the existence of the small Mediterranean democracy.
