The four horsemen ride again; no, the bloody beast is back, slouching its' way towards Bethlehem; no, it is an ancient genie unbound and its’ foul breath smells of more and more blood and human anguish as it grows ever-closer.
Yesterday, I screened a superb film about terrorism and anti-Semitism: "Watching the Moon at Night." It is written and directed by two Swedes: Joanna Helander and Bo Persson. We see, on camera, the late, great Robert Wistrich and Andre Glucksman—and Walter Laqueur, Anthony Julius, Vladimir Bukovsky, Zuhdi Jasser, Ramin Jahanbegloo, Hannah Rosenthal—and Dan Alon, one of the Israeli athletes who survived the Palestinian massacre in Munich in 1972.
We see and hear from the victims of terrorism, those who survived an attack, those who lost loved ones, and we see scenes of carnage in Algeria, Spain, Jerusalem (not identified as Israel in the press materials), New York, Russia, Northern Ireland, Colombia, Norway. We are lulled by the words of Polish Nobel laureate Wislawa Symborska and by bewitching cinematography.
My great good friend Richard Landes has come to visit. He tells me that these Swedish filmmakers have been censored in their own country. (I have had no time to check this out but will do so).
.
Then, he describes our lives, specifically his and mine: "We are watching a slow motion train wreck and we can do nothing to stop it."
"Ah, Richard," I say, "The train is gathering speed even as we speak.”
"Where have we gone wrong? Why didn't they listen to us?" Richard asks.
"Shall we consult Isaiah or Jeremiah on this? Far greater prophets than we two have not been heeded."
"But why don't those who care about Israel and Judaism and Western Civilization listen? Why do they always tell me that I should be doing something else, something that I know is beside the point, something that will make no difference?"
"Richard, those who are on our side are as blind and as arrogant as our opponents are. Ignorance, smallness of vision surrounds us. That is our challenge, our dilemma, our task, possibly our downfall."
I've been writing about what was to come from the moment the two Israeli reservists were lynched in Ramallah in 2000. I saw the handwriting on the sky long before 9/11.
Actually, I've been fighting for Israel since the early 1970's. Back then, I knew that the UN-led scapegoating would lead to something far, far worse--but I did not foresee the end of Western Civilization--and by its own multi-culturally relativist hand. That took a decade. I said so but was not heeded in 1980; Richard said so too, but was not heeded in 1990.
Richard was all over the Al-Dura Blood Libel because he understood that cognitive warfare was fully upon us--and as he says, "Just because an idea is wrong does not make it inconsequential." (I am paraphrasing him here).
The wrong idea is that of Islamic supremacism, Islamic Jihad, radicalized, apocalyptic Islam.
We two are not funded to work on this or on the true meaning and nature of rising anti-Semitism. Others are; some are worthy, most are treading water as fast as they can.
"So-and-so would not fund me because, I was told, he did not much like women."
Richard, tall and male, tells me: "He would not fund me either. He just said: "Nah, I'm not gonna do this."
Back to the drawing
I believe it will come to that eventually, but at what cost in lives and treasure in the meantime.
This is a two thousand year long war we are in. The problem is only one side is engaged in it - their side.
Are you saying those people are Muslim? Serious question. I think Merkel has shown herself to be one. But you mention Prince charles and I don’t doubt it much. But it made me remember that when Princess Diana died she had just become engaged to a Muslim guy. I don’t know what that means, but maybe it means something in retrospect. Things are just getting weirder by the day and at the same time the globalist puzzle pieces seem to be falling into place.
Can anyone find this poem?
bump
BINGO!
“For thus says the high and exalted One Who lives forever, whose Name is Holy, ‘I dwell on a high and holy place, AND ALSO WITH THE CONTRITE AND LOWLY OF SPIRIT - IN ORDER TO REVIVE THE SPIRIT OF THE LOWLY AND TO REVIVE THE HEART OF THE CONTRITE.’ “
Isaiah 57:15
“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and My load is light.” Matt. 11:29, 30.
We Americans are proud, and the most difficult thing to do is to humble ourselves. Quite the contrary, our forefathers were not proud, but humble men, who frequently humbled themselves before God.
Our nation was built on their humility and knowledge of - and reverence for - God.
Our nation will fall because of our arrogance and refusal to humble ourselves.
No. That article was confusing...
