“This is nothing that anyone…could have imagined.” Oh, bullshit, stupid journo-bint. Quite the opposite: it’s nothing we haven’t seen, continually, since the Pedophile “Prophet” established his foul murder-cult back in the 6th and 7th century.
They just found dozens of babies, some with their heads cut off. Families completely gunned down in their beds.
Hamas beheaded babies.

40 babies beheaded, dismembered, and/or burned by the “natural allies” of Jew-phobic “race realists,” who even now celebrate this mindless savagery, this pluperfect exemplar of blackest, purest Evil—what it is, what it does, what it has done over and over and over again for more than a millenia and a half. When will we in the West learn? Will we EVER learn? Or is the reality of Pisslam just too harsh, too ugly, too nightmarish for us to fully wrap our minds around?
By our refusal to confront said reality head on and put an end to it once and for all, we blacken our own souls and forever abnegate any claim to the moral high ground. Have we really become such puling cowards as that in our sad, sorry decline? Are there really no more Richard Coeur de Lions among us? Are we really so despicable, so feeble, enervated, and downright pathetic, as that? Forbid it, Almighty God!
Update! As ever, Daniel Greenfield says it best, if quite bleakly.
Savages
Civilization and savagery are fundamentally at war.We’re in a war between savages and civilization. Everything else is a detail.
Some of us woke up to that war when planes crashed into skyscrapers. Others when we saw beheading videos spread across social media. What we saw in Israel, Hamas terrorists raping, mutilating and defiling corpses, is another bloody wake-up call. There will be many others.
Beyond the politics and the geopolitics, we still haven’t come to terms with what we’re fighting.
The barbarism of murdering women and children, taking them as hostages, and posting photos of their dead bodies to social media, is not a byproduct of Islamic warfare, it’s the whole point.
Cruelty, beheading, burning to death, torturing and mutilating are the essence of Islam. This is how Islamic warfare was practiced beginning with Mohammed for over a thousand years. It’s how it continues to be practiced, whether it’s ISIS fighting other Muslims, Azebajani troops killing Armenians, Hamas attacking Israelis, or Islamic terrorists plotting carnage in Western nations.
Islam was born out of a war by barbarians against the civilized societies of Persia and Byzantium. Despite academic mythmaking, its vision never extended beyond rape and slavery, its empires fell into power struggles, beginning with Sunnis and Shiites, and its cultural and scientific accomplishments were all looted from conquered peoples. When civilization finally toppled the Ottoman Empire with some help from its internal barbarians, the cycle began again.
Israel is just one front in a global war between savages and civilization. And not all of the savages bow to Allah. There are inner city gangs across the American hemisphere that behead and torture their victims. And there are children of civilization that turn into savages. Savagery is not a condition of birth: it is a choice. People born into savagery can become civilized and those born into the highest echelons of civilization can prey on us like the worst vicious animals.
The question is how do civilized societies confront savagery? Do we blame ourselves for having made the savages what they are through our capitalism and colonialism even though they have behaved this way long before modern western civilization amounted to anything? Or do we set forth to reeducate them, to build modern nations for them and teach them to become civilized?
We have sent forth our sons and daughters to make peace with them and to educate them. Our societies opened themselves to embrace and celebrate the virtues of the noble savage. When we realized that we could not coexist with savages, we tried to remake our societies to serve them. All of that has been tried and civilization is still drowning in the violence of the savages.
The fundamental truth is that civilization and savagery are innately at war with one another.
And there you have it. As Brad Hamilton unforgettably admonished:
Compulsory update! I just gotta throw in a cpl-three more ‘graphs from Daniel’s typically-brilliant essay.
Civilizations have become too sophisticated and decadent to understand such concepts. When faced with barbarism, they go down a dialectic rabbit hole that explains the savages in terms of how civilized people interacted with them. Did they hurt their feelings, overthrow their governments or draw mean cartoons? Did capitalism leave them adrift in the world economy? How did we fail to integrate the newest generation of immigrants with all the welfare checks?
These sophomoric sessions are pointless. A hyena doesn’t eat your chickens because you failed to integrate it. That’s just what hyenas do. Man at the base state is a predator and savages strive to be the alpha predators. Civilizations become superior predators because they provide room for arts and sciences, because they think about something other than how they are superior to their neighbors and will prove it by killing their sons and raping their daughters.
But when civilizations spend too much time thinking, they forget that one reason they came into being was to build something better than a state of savagery. Decadent civilizations internalize all the criticism and their peoples endlessly quarrel and think that the worst possible things in the world are the ones that exist among their own people. Savages remind us otherwise.
Indeed they do, if only we’re smart enough to stop all our self-absorbed blibbering and pay attention in class. It’s a difficult course of instruction, yes, taught by the most cruelly hardhanded of taskmasters. But if Western Civ is to survive, then at least some of us are gonna have to buckle down and learn.
