October 7 – Two Years Later

Today, it is Israel—not Hamas—that is accused of genocide, of killing children, of allegedly starving the poor Palestinians. Polite requests to name a single instance in the entire history of armed conflicts where the enemy population has been supplied with food and medicine the way we see in Gaza are, of course, met with disdainful silence. These two years have been years of meticulously cultivated hatred for the Jewish state. Sometimes, the creatures spreading this hatred hide their love of Nazis behind laments over the graves of those murdered decades ago. This love for dead Jews, meant to mask their solidarity with those who openly declare and demonstrate their willingness to murder the living ones, is particularly repugnant. The keffiyeh—the hipster swastika—has become the flag of the world today.

Michael Starr, an Israeli reservist who entered the Kibbutz Kissufim with his unit two years ago, describes scenes of the massacre—blood smeared on the walls, the bodies of terrorists lying in the streets, the stench of rotting corpses seeping into every corner of the kibbutz.

As he writes:

“For many, it still feels like it was yesterday, and at the same time this wound festers as if it had gone untreated for a lifetime. It feels like I just entered Kissufim to clear it of terrorists—and I’ve lost two years of my life. Suddenly I have gray hair, weakened hearing, but I never had time to grow old. The longest day became the longest week, and then the longest year.”

The trauma of families of those who were kidnapped, the trauma of those who were brought back alive at the cost of releasing murderers who pledge to kill again, the trauma of an entire nation where a trip to buy breakfast rolls can end in a fatal stabbing, car-ramming, or a rocket fired from a school window is never ending.

One might think the whole world would now be demanding the complete destruction not only of this Nazi fortress but of the movement striving for the final solution to the Jewish question. Oh no—millions of jihadists are supported by millions of useful idiots, who are calling for the arrest of Prime Minister Netanyahu at the request of Prosecutor Karim Asad Ahmad Khan.

Of course, the Israeli Prime Minister is guilty—guilty of attempting to fully dismantle the Nazi fortress, which is merely an outpost of the jihad against infidels.

Holy war. But how holy? For whom? Sanctified by whom? Why is the first and most sacred goal of this holy war the final solution to the Jewish question?

Israeli Arabist Professor Mordechai Kedar writes that the main obstacle to peace between Israel and the Palestinians is not politics.

"Given the strength of the religious factor and the weakness of the national factor, Palestinian acceptance of a two-state solution is nearly impossible. National independence has limited appeal, and anything short of total victory over the Jewish state does not satisfy the need for Islam's triumph over Judaism."

Western observers tend to ignore the religious aspect of the Muslim world, treating it as secondary or merely rhetorical. In reality, even groups like Fatah—often using secular, nationalist rhetoric—are deeply steeped in Islamic beliefs and thinking. For Palestinians, national and religious aspirations are inseparable, and for many of them, Hamas’s closeness to Islam grants it greater legitimacy as a political movement.

Gaza is an outpost; the mythical “Palestine” is merely a forward position in the jihad against infidels, where the defeat of the Jews is just a necessary and, at this stage, most desired objective.

The Israeli Arabist continues: Hamas and other groups affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood rely on a fixed set of beliefs about Jews and Judaism that make any compromise or mutual recognition of the Jewish state unacceptable. The emergence of Islam in the 7th century invalidated Judaism. The followers of this displaced religion do not constitute a nation or a people. Therefore, the existence of a Jewish state is in violation of divine law. Notably, this is stated explicitly in the constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The religious mandate to fight infidels must begin with genocide, because that is what God demands. That is why October 7 is celebrated, and sacrifices of their own people are offered on altars as necessary steps on Allah’s path to success.

Religious perception also underpins the hostility toward Israel among other Arab nations and Muslims worldwide. That is why Palestinians feel that recognizing Israel as the state of the Jewish people would be a betrayal of Islam and would bring them the contempt of their fellow believers.

The keffiyeh is now a symbol of jihad. The Palestinians have been assigned the role of attack dogs in this religious war, in which murder, terror, sadism, rape, and infanticide have been sanctified.

But why do millions of people who have never been indoctrinated by the religion of Muhammad sympathize with this jihad against the Jews? Why did October 7, 2023, awaken religious hatred toward the Jewish state among American, European, and Australian atheists?

Witnessing this repulsive orgy, former Muslim Ayaan Hirsi Ali abandoned atheism and converted to Christianity. I wonder what kind of Christian Ayaan is—why does she now seek humanity in the Christian tradition rather than among the beasts who draped their “humanism” in keffiyehs?

Richard Dawkins declared himself a cultural Christian, motivated by his appreciation for cathedral architecture, psalms, and the atmosphere of tradition. He rejected God but sees no reason to reject tradition. Like him, I feel like a cultural Christian—but my motivation is different. Among my personal ideals, believing Christians dominate—those who were stripping Christianity of its barbarism. That Christian barbarism was, from the earliest days, marked by religious anti-Judaism. The portrayal of the Jew as the archetype of the anti-neighbor was meant to offer a path to religious victory.

Why has this most inhuman tradition of Christian barbarity been preserved in the post-Christian world by hordes of atheistic degenerates? Why do these atheists harbor such love for fanatical Islamic jihadists, pretending it’s some kind of compassion for innocent Palestinians? Could António Manuel de Oliveira Guterres answer that question—the man who bears the names of a Portuguese fascist and a Portuguese king who expelled the Jews?

The tradition and allure of inhuman barbarism came back to life upon hearing how splendidly the orgy of murder succeeded on October 7, 2023. From their burrows crawled the rats that spread the plague. They did not appear in a vacuum; they found a receptive world, in which the plague can once again reap an abundant harvest.
