France has endured weeks of riots under the pretext of demand for better staffed and financed schools. Of course students who cared so much for education and desire for better funding of their schools and additional staff would not beat up teachers or burn their schools. Additionally, over 800 police officers have been injured attempting to prevent property crime which has now exceeded billions of dollars. Thats shops destroyed or looted by people claiming to be in the street with a demand for education. And while the destruction is on going and relentless, the one thing missing from these riots are calls for better education. What you do see instead are calls for intifada, free Palestine, calls for destruction of France and a plethora of Palestinian, Moroccan and Algerian flags in addition to those of Hamas and Hazbullah.
Why would all these people who were given a home and opportunity in France, who fled their country to get opportunity in France, cary the flags of countries they left while destroying the country that gave them home? Because anti-Zionism is not a philosophy that centers on Israel, it is a philosophy that starts with Israel but ends with the destruction of every western country that has created the advanced civilization we enjoy today.
Anti-Zionists consider Jewish claim to Israel as being irrelevant not because it is factually incorrect, but because to them Jewish people are not equivalent to the Palestinians in human worth and cannot possibly have a claim of self determination in what they deem as Muslim land. This is because according to their teachings is no such thing as self-determination in the land where Islam has spread. Just as Putin speaks abut Russia, so do many clerics of Islam who say that once a Muslim foot steps onto land it is Muslim in perpetuity. All other laws, religions and ethnicities lose their claim and can never claim superiority in that land.
What most people don’t understand is that when you take away legitimate claim from the Jewish ethnicity to their history and land, you don’t just take it from Jews, you take it from all people, including French, British, Polish, Swedish etc etc. This is why all of the people who now advocate for their ethnicity and culture and history are branded as ultra-Nationalist just as the Zionists. Because if you claim that your country belongs to you, it cannot belong to others whether they be Muslims from Algeria or Syria, and in the philosophy of multiculturalism that is the ultimate sin.
This is the idea that many in the West are waking up. They had the good intention of being good hosts to welcome people and tell them to make themselves at home and those people did, and now those guests say it is their home and the original inhabitants either must accept second class status or get out. And if they don’t or say otherwise they are racists. This is the irony of the paradox that the west has put themselves into with their own ideas of race and fairness.
In the words of Gad Saad, the West has been coopted by Suicidal Empathy. The people who would prefer to be seen nice rather than assert some sense of ownership over what is theirs, have given up on their own culture, history and self-determination. This applies to the Europeans as it does to the many liberal Jews who have marched with the antiZionist marchers, chanting slogans that called for their own annihilation. What the Westerners next to them in those demonstrations didn’t realize was that they were not just chanting for the end of Jewish State, but theirs as well. I hope the French are realizing this today, although as the police fail to control the riots and as the politicians work to placate the demands, it may now be too late.
