Trying not to start the public floggings

Dickhead Alert

Marxists

Adding stupidity to enmity, we have this priceless pearl of wisdom:

“Israel is a racist European ethnostate built on stolen land from its indigenous population!”

Let’s take this little sentiment apart, shall we?

If we’re talking Israelis and Arabs, it can’t be “racist”, you flaming asshole, because both Israelis and Arabs are of the same race, i.e. Semitic.  It’s like a Londoner being accused of racism for calling a Liverpudlian a “fucking Scouser” — they’re the same people.

If your hostility is directed towards the concept of an “ethnostate”, then yes, Israel is by definition an ethnostate — Jewish — as are all the -stans:  Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Iran, Iraq, etc. — all Muslim.  (Also, Arabs and Christians may live and practice their religion in Israel — unlike the reverse in any Muslim nation.)

And the Jews are “European” only in recent historical terms — having had their land stolen from them by Romans and Arabs, and forced to flee north into Europe, a.k.a the Diaspora.  In terms of heredity, they’re as European as, say, Pakistanis living in London.

We brushed on the “stolen land” concept above, but the continuing fallacy of Jews having pushed Arabs out of Palestine is nonsense — Jews have lived in Palestine for thousands of years, and have just as much if not more right to the land than the scattered Arab tribes (indigenous, my ass) in the area.  You may as well say that the Jews stole the land from the Hittites while you’re about it.  (Speaking of Palestine:  there’s no such thing as “Palestinian” — they’re Arabs.)

Finally, it should be known that this asswipe, Hussain Altamimi, is a legislative assistant to Rep. Ocasio-Cortez (Soc, NY), and it’s small wonder that he’s found a happy home there, she being of the same anti-Semitic persuasion as he, the Commie bitch.

Och Aye The Noo!

Resistance

“Ye may tak’ oor lands, oor lives, oor haggis… but ye’ll ne’er tak’ oor football!”

Defiant Celtic fans clash with police in Glasgow as they storm football ground to watch match after crowds were capped at 500 in Sturgeon’s Christmas crackdown

For once, I find myself agreeing with the manky Scots.  And a pox on their foul slag of a PM.

Defunding Consequences

BaconLettuceMayo, Law and Order, Marxists

Aaaaaand once again, we see “well-meaning” actions having unforeseen consequences — unforeseen only by those without common sense and / or brains, that is.

Last year, Burlington, Vermont, cut its police budget by nearly 30% through attrition. Now, people are afraid to speak up because they know they’ll be called “racist.”

It’s been more than a year and a half since the city cut its police budget, and now even the city councilor who proposed the cut is unhappy with the consequences.

Oh, and what consequences would those be in sleepy little Burlington VT, home to so many hippies, academics and Lefties? [some overlap]

The move to slash the police budget, however, has led city leaders, as NBC reported, “to reckon with the unintended consequences of that decision, including problems with public safety and quality of life, police and residents say.”
…
The unintended consequences of the resolution apparently showed up quickly, NBC reported. The council thought attrition would take years, but it was completed in months, leaving the police department understaffed. Police officers left en masse, leaving only about five to patrol at night. The police have had to shift focus to high-priority crimes and less on quality of life issues. Burglary, vehicle theft, mental health issues, and overdoses all increased with fewer cops on patrol.

You don’t say.

Local business owner Mark Bouchett told NBC that people were afraid to speak out about the problems that have arisen due to the reduced police force.
“If you speak out against defunding the police force, you’re labeled a racist,” he told NBC. “Or at least an idiot that doesn’t understand the problem.”

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of Lefty assholes.  It’s just too bad that the good (conservative) folks of that part of Vermont have to suffer the consequences as well.

At least they’re not unarmed…

Sauce For Goose AND Gander

Elections, Military

So here’s this report:

Retired generals urge Pentagon to take steps to avert ‘civil war’ after 2024 election

“The Defense Department should war-game the next potential post-election insurrection or coup attempt to identify weak spots. It must then conduct a top-down debrief of its findings and begin putting in place safeguards to prevent breakdowns not just in the military, but also in any agency that works hand in hand with the military.”

I’m all over that thought.  But I should caution these old assholes that as usual, they’re preparing to fight the last war, not the next one.

You see, there will be no problems among military or even among ex-military, as they seem to be so nervous about, because the outcome of the next election is likely to be a resounding Republican victory.

But amongst all their little wargames, I hope these guys actually implement their action plans for when the Left starts an insurrection after Election 2024.  That, my old Rockjaws, is the more likely prospect.
