Peter North is becoming one of my go-to commentators if I want a no bullshit assessment of British politics and in particular the politics of Britain’s Right. He’s perceptive enough to see when parties like Reform or Restore pump out slop policies that will fail at the first hurdle of first contact with a competent political enemy. Mr North also understands the dangers of the sort of terminal damage that can be incurred by small or aspiring right wing parties if they let the Jew obsessives take charge or have influence in these parties. On this matter I agree with Mr North as some of the more deranged sort of Jew obsessive such as the ones that have attached themselves to the Restore Party are also the sort of people who frighten the electoral horses and for a party that needs votes this is destructive.
In this piece which I wish to excerpt from Mr North first talks about what he calls a rather unsatisfactory appearance on one of the shows of The Lotuseaters. He then talks about how the Lotuseaters is shifting towards an anti-Israel position of the sort held by some of the high ups in the Restore Party. Mr North’s appearance on the Lotuseaters show drew his attention to that show’s geo-politics correspondent Firas Modad. Modad, Mr North said, is a Lebanese-Druze nationalist and had a clear antipathy for Israel. Mr North said that he didn’t agree with Modad’s belief that Israel was engaging in ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Mr North went on to explain that the current conflict between Israel and Gaza did not begin with the pogrom of 7th October 2023 and pointed out that prior to this date Israel, since it withdrew from Gaza in a unilateralist for peace’ deal, was basically selectively attacking Hamas missile sites in Gaza and protecting Israel’s citizens using systems such as Iron Dome. This sort of jihadist fires missile at Israel leading to Israeli retaliation cycle has been going on ever since Hamas took over Gaza in 2006. As Mr North points out this sort of tit for tat stuff has been going on for nearly 20 years with I need to say intermittent bouts of ultra violence from the ‘Palestinians’ such as that which occurred during the Second Intifada in 2000.
October 7th changed all that. The rape and murder invasion that Hamas and Islamic Jihad carried out on October 7th 2023 did as Mr North said ‘demand a military response’.
Mr North said:
“The arithmetic changed, however, when Hamas launched a rape-murder excursion, with the intent of causing as much carnage as possible. That demands a military response just as much as 9/11 did. (we can argue about whether it was the right target).!”
I agree with Mr North that a strong military response was what was needed after the 7/10 Pogrom. I also agree that whilst 9/11 needed a military response like Mr North I do wonder if there could have been better chosen targets?
“At this point, it’s no longer a matter of tit for tat precision strikes. Palestinians revealed themselves as a deeply sick society. They all celebrated 7/10.”
Again, spot on. We all saw it. We all saw the human dregs of the Islamic world dancing over the deaths of Jews like something out of the horrors of 1930’s/40’s Europe. We all saw, on the streets of Western cities, the Islamo-Left cheering for the deaths of Jews before the bodies of the martyrs of 7/10 were cold. For me it was a moment when the last remaining scales of belief that there could be peace with the ‘Palestinians’ fell from my eyes and despite knowing that there are some ‘Palestinians’ who are not mentalist Jew hating fraggles, a great many others are. From then on the words ‘two state solution’ were banished from my vocabulary as although it’s possible to make peace with former enemies, Britain and Germany did, but not those who will not give up their desire to kill you. The days after 7/10 were the days when anyone with more than half a brain could see that the ‘Palestinians’ are monsters of horrific proportions. They made no distinction during their attack between young or old male and female or between those peacenik Jews who had spent their lives helping the Gazans in the name of ‘peace’ and those who might be of a more robust nature with their Zionism. They killed or raped the lot, indiscriminately. You can’t make a lasting piece with creatures like that. The Gazans even killed guests of Israel, people who had gone to Israel to learn from its advanced agricultural sector and take these skills back to their homelands in order to improve them. It mattered not who you were that day the monsters of Gaza would kill, maim or rape.
“Here you have to understand Israeli psychology. When they say “never again”, that is not just a slogan. It is a root command. If Jews are not safe in the land of Israel then they are not safe anywhere. On that basis, they are entitled (and obliged as a nation state) to deploy the maximum level of violence necessary to secure the safety of their own people. This is not an exception I make for the Jews. It is what I would demand of my own government in similar circumstances.”
Mr North is correct that there is a difference in psychology in Israel especially when compared to Britain. In Israel ‘never again’ is definitely not a meaningless and empty slogan, it’s political and cultural policy. It is as Mr North says, a ‘root command’. Israelis can rely on their military as nearly everyone serves or as served in it as Israel has conscription, to protect Israeli citizens, whether they are Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Druze, Samaritan or B’hai. In Israel the people are the military because of conscription and military attitudes to security carry over into civilian life.
This ‘never again’ psychology that creates a safe haven for Israel’s embattled citizens was probably why when I have visited Israel I have felt incredibly safe there on the streets, bars, synagogues, historic sites etc etc. Everyone is looking out for everyone else’s safety, not in the oppressive, curtain twitching, hi-viz, lanyard class approved way as it is in Britain but because everyone recognises that Jews need to be safe in the one land that is the home of Jews.
I felt safe at night in Tel Aviv in a way that I would not feel safe at the same time of day in for example Forest Gate in the London Borough of Newham. I could look at an Israeli police officer or any other state factotum and know instinctively that they going to do the right thing or at least try to. In Britain we can’t be sure that the police officer is more interested in the content of a person’s social media accounts than protecting the public from the sort of crime that pisses people off and anyone who has had dealings with the National Health Service (NHS) in Britain knows of the drek that comprise too many of Britain’s state factotums.
I also agree with Mr North when he said that Israel had both the right and the duty to use necessary levels of violence to free their people from the savages who had captured them, destroy the capabilities of the Hamas group and secure the safety of Israelis. Like Mr North I don’t just want Israel to have the right of doing violence against enemies that have done harm to their nation, I want that for Britain as well. If the Isle of Wight for example became a haven for religious, political or nihilist monsters and they launched a seaborne attack on Bognor Regis, killing, maiming, raping and kidnapping its inhabitants in an echo of the Barbary Pirates who raided southern England centuries ago, then I’d want the Isle of Wight sent back to the stone age. I’d want every military resource on the island destroyed, every commander eliminated and every culprit for every atrocity wiped out. This is what Israel has done to their enemies and I would hope that Britain would do the same to our enemies.
I am in agreement with Mr North also that what Israel has done in Gaza is not unusual and that the Turks have attacked the Kurds and Egypt has done great, but necessary violence, deal with ISIS offshoots in the Sinai peninsular. The sorts of outrageous criticism, emotive ululating and virtue signalling that goes on about Israel and its self defence doesn’t make an appearance when Egypt offs ISIS nutters or the Turks go after the Kurds. Odd that. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that Israel is majority Jewish?
This is a thoroughly excellent article by Mr North. He gets a lot of things in my view very right from the sad decline (I don’t watch it any more) of The Lotuseaters, the unusual horror of the 7/10 Pogrom and the need to secure Israelis of any repeat of that horror and also how the Gazans had it relatively good until they crapped in their own mouths by waging war against Israel.
