Ordinary Women: Wendy Lower Talks About ‘Hitler’s Furies’

[Old Teufel Hunden]

Kipling told us about the savagery of women long before Hitler's furies:

"When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An' go to your Gawd like a soldier."

From Kiplings "The Young British Soldier"

Incidentally, if you ever have occasion to read early 20th century American and English literature, you might be struck at how casual anti semitism is placed in there. It makes me wonder when the literature of the day is like that, it is reflecting societies general opinion of the Jews at the time. Then it makes me wonder if other countries at the same time could have done the exact same thing. Just so happened that a crazy anti semitic dictator arose in Germany.

One other detail I’d like to add to the thread is Golda Meir’s statement on peace: “Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.”

That statement clearly applies to the mothers of suicide bombers as much as anyone else in “the community”.

Where did they get all those flags so quickly, she wondered. They must have had them prepared for the purpose. Of course she was right, but I wonder how many adults thought about that.

Too few adults ask that question today when they seek multistory banners/billboards printed for Palestinian "martyrs" within 2 hours of a death.

Others don't question who prints the signs for "spontneous amnesty rallies" or even the "unexpected government shutdown" (which had signage for parks the day it began).

Another thing that seems un-PC to bring up (I was reading the “Here Come The Muslims” movie kerfluffle)...

Muslims say “I don’t need to condemn Islamic terrorism, modern slavery, honor killings, genocide, religious apartheid in Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, and elsewhere, etc.... ‘that’s not real Islam’”.

Germans still denounce the sins of the (20th century) past. Americans took it upon themselves in 2004 to post “I’m sorry for Bush being re-elected” memes to the world.

The only genuine reform in Islam is going to come when muslims give a damn about the Islamic supremacists who are killing others (that they see a lesser beings, kufir) rebuke them publicly, repeatedly, loudly, and often.

President Obama believed Osama Bin Laden to be “genuine muslim” enough that he had Osama given muslim funeral rites before disposing of the body. We were told that other muslims might become radicalized if his corpse was mistreated. For a “not really muslim” terrorist?

Puh-lease.
