The fact that Dresden was pure revenge being a non military as in non industrial town where we knew the hierarchy sent their familes to be safe and that the war was virtually already won does not excuse beheading or shooting babies or any of the islam extremist evil as per it does not excuse bombing Dresden again.

Unfortunately, war is a dirty game. What we have to look at is the overall principle of how a country or entity conducts itself. The fact that people are marching as a 'day of rage' on behalf of the people who committed the outrage, says something about us, in the West that we allow such evil in our midst.

In your list of Islamist terror atrocities you missed out one huge atrocity: The 2004 Madrid train bombings which killed 193 people and injured around 2,050. From wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Madrid_train_bombings.

Great post Ely as usual. I hope you don't mind, but I've used a few snippets from it to help me illustrate a point or three to some members of a FB page I belong to in an effort to help them understand that in their case their mantra of ' left is right and right is wrong ' is very wrong indeed.

So far there have been a few replies along the lines of ' weell, I never knew/realised that!'

Thanks Alf, yes, by all means use what you like. I did miss the Madrid bombing along with many others. To list them all would require a couple of posts. We are in deep trouble in the West. The level of antisemitism is even greater than I thought. BLM is one of the biggest purveyors of it. Many forget that Jews marched for blacks during the civil rights movement.

Now we have people rationalizing basically ISIS which is what Hamas is.

This post from Ezra Levant, head of Rebel News in your native Canada would normally be behind a subscriber/paywall ( as are a lot of substacks that I like to read ) contains a 40 min video which was quite tough to watch/listen to at times. It was very obvious that Ezra was having a tough time of it too.

Near the end, he shows along with footage of the outrageous demonstration of pro Palestinian/terrorist supporters at Sydney Opera House, a clip of the Mayor of Londonistan; Sadiq Khan from back when he was engaging in his old occupation of defending Islamic terrorists. It made me sick to watch the odious, preening little wannabe dictator.

He's made no secret of the fact that he would love to see Sharia Law take over in the UK, as well as Europe.

With the rhetoric coming from Hamas leaders and the nutters in charge in Iran at the moment, it seemsappropriate to mention the following.

I recently read a series of 4 books written about ten years ago; the first one was published in 2013, that deals with the numbers of middle eastern male immigrants as well as British born family members that've have settled here over the years but never really integrated. It also refers to how the rest of the western world has spent years kowtowing to the ' religion of peace '. Then the west finds out they're not peaceful at all. Although they're described as ' Military Action Techno Thrillers' they're much more than that. I see them as a more of a warning shot across the bows of western governments willingness to continually bend over backwards to accommodate these people who have no intention to integrate at all. They are well written and unfortunately very believable. I recommend everyone to read them. You never know, if enough of the right sort of people do read and absorb the lessons that can be taken from them, the horrendous scenarios within can be avoided!

INVASION DOWNFALL: A Military Action Techno Thriller (The Invasion UK Series Book 1) by DC ALDEN ( 4 books in the series )

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004I438XA/ref=ku_mi_rw_edp_ku ( Available on Kindle Unlimited )

The blurb:

Harry Beecham’s ambition was to become the British Prime Minister.

But as the saying goes, be careful what you wish for…

The UK economy is tanking. Social tensions are stretched to breaking point. Now Wazir's New Caliphate Army threatens Europe, and when Harry learns that scores of surveillance targets have disappeared, he knows something dreadful is about to happen.

The massive truck bomb that obliterates Downing Street is just the beginning. Barely escaping with his life, Harry seeks refuge in a Whitehall bunker. On the streets above, things are going from bad to so much worse.

As night falls across the besieged city, Harry and his SAS protection team must attempt a desperate bid to escape capture or death. And if he survives the carnage of London, Harry knows that far greater challenges will lie ahead.

Is Harry Beecham the leader he imagined himself to be?

Alf,

Throughout my life (turning 77 in a few weeks), I have had to listen to the outrageous actions of not only the Arabs but the lie perpetrated about the whole Palestinian issue. Actually, you never head the word, Palestinian prior to 1967.

Since I was born in Tel-Aviv, my parents had to take me into a bomb shelter when the Egyptian air force was bombing and simultaneously five countries were attacking Israel from all sides.

When we immigrated to Canada in 1952, I had to endure the taunts of dirty Jew as a child. I felt fortunate at leas that I didn’t live in Europe in the 40s, otherwise I would have probably been gassed. Now we have the same Jew-hating Nazis around the world with the veil dropped. If they could, they would have us all gassed.

What so many are ignorant of is that the hordes brought into western countries have a long term plan; get rid of the Jews, then they’re coming after you; Christians, gays, who even they deem an infidel. It’s starting to look like the human species is devolving into some primitive, evil state. No wonder I.Q.s are dropping.

This is from a column in the The Daily Express online and is, I think, very appropriate to your last paragraph.

" An aggressor appeased is one hungry for more, a truism perfectly illustrated by German Pastor Martin Niemöller’s famous post-war poem: “First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out – because I was not a socialist.

“Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out –because I was not a trade unionist.

“Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out – because I was not a Jew.

“Then they came for me – and there was no one left to speak for me.”
