The Blogs: Cowardice and lack of will

There will be no forgiveness for this missed opportunity.

Israel, during the mass funeral for Nasrallah in Lebanon, is flying four jets over the crowd.

Defense Minister Israel Katz stated: “Israeli Air Force aircraft currently flying over Beirut, over the funeral of Hassan Nasrallah, convey a clear message: Those who threaten to destroy Israel and attack Israel, it will be their end.”

The fools who gave this order think that this is a demonstration of “strength”. Just as they thought it was a demonstration of strength during the First Lebanon War, when they took telephoto images of Yasser Arafat and published them to say, “See? We could have just as easily taken your head off, but we chose not to.”

But that’s not what they’re demonstrating. They’re demonstrating weakness. Cowardice. And they are giving the enemy massive encouragement by doing it. Minister Katz is right that a clear message was conveyed by our inaction. But he’s dead wrong as to the content of that message.

It was insane not to bomb this funeral. Every single person there is there because they support Nasrallah and his foul war against us. Every single one of them deserves to be taken out. We should have firebombed the entire venue. Fire so hot that they would never have identified a single person.

What goes through the minds of “leaders” at a time like this? Is it really that they’re that desperate for world approval? Or is it that they truly do lack the ability to act as Jewish leaders should act?

In my last Substack post, I put these words in the mouth of my imaginary author Khinzer Qatal:

You need to be seen as
Our moral superiors
You won’t wipe us out
Because “that’s for inferiors”.

“Not us!” you all cry.
“Our morals forbid it!
After all, it was wrong
When our enemies did it!”

You’ll cling to your “mercy”
And puff out your chest
And boast, while you do it,
That you’re just the best.

But would Europe’s behavior
Have been so taboo
If you’d done a mere fraction
Of what we’ve done to you?

When you say that your morals
Forbid you to act
You admit that we’re innocent
That’s just a fact.

And that’s 100% true. When you say that we can’t lower ourselves to do the things that they do, you ignore context entirely. You treat victims like perpetrators and perpetrators like victims. And there’s no greater moral blindness than that.

What the Nazis did to us was wrong because we were innocent. Anyone who drops context and says that what they did would have been wrong even if we had been vicious monsters is showing that they have zero moral sense. It might have been extreme had we been running around, blowing Germans up, raping German girls, and baking German babies in ovens. But would it have been unjust? I don’t think so.

(Not — and I can’t believe I have to specify this, but I know the way people deliberately misconstrue things — not that I would ever suggest doing to the vile terrorist scum anything remotely like what the Nazis did in the camps. But I surely would expel a violent and vicious and inhuman population. And I don’t understand those who wouldn’t.)

The people (and I use the term as loosely as it is possible to do) at that funeral are inhuman, subhuman, anti-human vermin, and our current “leaders” have no right to lead unless they treat them as such.

I pray for the day when someone like Moshe Feiglin is sitting in the Prime Minister’s office making the correct and moral calls. Whatever moral capital Netanyahu built up during his opposition to the malice of Biden and his masters has been lost. Utterly lost.
