Vive la Revolution! It’s tempting to pursue that train of thought and feeling. Justice is sweet; even sweeter is the sense that the world indeed has order and moral purpose, that the Master narrative is real; that what goes around comes around, that they who bless Israel will be blessed, and that those, like the French, who curse Israel, again and again will be cursed, hoist by their own petard, mon ami !

After some comments and a reference to an essential text, we’ll consider why this is no laughing matter despite the delicious irony and payback: as with the London and Madrid bombings, it would be sweet if it was only the hierarchs who prepared the ingredients for this Biblical reaping of the whirlwind who would pay the price of their mauvais fois. Although in truth, is it not all Europe that is guilty of 1500 years robbery, homicidal slander, brutality and murder of Jews?

Eh, Jaques, — vous souvenez vous: THERE IS NO MILITARY SOLUTION to the ‘unrest’ in Clichy and environs. Non, the underprivileged “immigrants from North Africa” need fancier houses and jobs subsidized by French taxpayers. And remember, don’t do anything to escalate “THE CYCLE OF VIOLENCE”; perhaps her royal highness, Condoleeza ‘Supertanker’ Rice will favor the world with a sermonette on that favorite topic of the State Dept.

Jaques: if you want to protect French lives from the ‘oppressed minority,’ you must build a wall around and through Isle de France and allow the “immigrants,” who resist integration into French life, do they not, mon frere, to establish a joint capitol in Paris, which as Francois Rabelais dryly noted, is a contraction for “par – ris,” — it is ‘to laugh,’ n’est ce pas? And don’t forget to open the roads to unrestricted travel for the bomb throwers or else stand accused of damaging their ability to LIVE THEIR LIVES… and kill you and your children.

Entendez: here is a solution to the conflict around Paris: as a gesture for peace and amends, administration of the activities and visits to Notre Dame must be put into the hands of a Wakaf for the site. After all, since Jesus was a Muslim prophet (and a ‘Palestinian’ to boot we’ve been told in recent years) and Christianity, according to the Koran, is just a warped version of Islam, than Notre Dame really is a mosque. Perhaps Christians can be allowed to enter and ascend the towers for three hours a day, sometimes. However, in order to preserve the peace, for security reasons, vous savez, they can not be allowed to pray there, non. After all, there is a precedent for such situations.

Yes, the situation in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and all western and northern Europe seems a fair deserving. The enlightened, secular, radically anti-Jewish west has done so much to bury and deny its Jewish roots, and the Jewish people and their state, reinforcing every anti-Jewish aspect of the juntas that have ruled it that it is fitting and inevitable that Europe succumb to Islamization and impose subservience (dhimmitude) on itself (Bat Ye’or, “The Islamization of Chrstianity” in Eurabia: the Europe-Arab Axis [2005] and The Dhimmi: Jews & Christians under Islam [1986; sixth printing 2003]). Bat Ye’or writes:

“…the [renewed] Marcionist heresy amounts to little more than the demonization of Israel and the exaltation of Arab victim-hood… [But] the Christian attitude of self-mutilation and rejection of Judeo-Christian spirituality represent the final stage of dhimmitude preceding conversion to Islam. Europe’s hatred of Israel and the West will not satisfy Islamists. Only full adherence to the Qu’ran and shari’a will do that…” [Eurabia 214-217]

In the current intifada raging around Paris and elsewhere in Europe, Esau is paying for 1900 years of homicidal slander, covetousness, robbery, assault and murder of Jews and Judaism. As a recent example, in the last five years, the EAD (“Europe-Arab Dialogâ€? project), the “Inter-Church Peace Councilâ€? [sic], Pax christi International have appropriated and inverted the torment of Anne Frank’s family and all the millions of Jews like them. This is done, among many other media – diplomatic – NGO avenues by the EAD’s “Sharing Stories” project which turns the Jews, tormented for centuries into the non-people and putting in their place the ostensibly abused ‘Palestinians’ created by Rome in 135 CE (as a derisive nickname for vanquished Israel) and revived by Rome’s successor states in the EU this past 85 years. “No mention is ever made of Palestinian [sic] violence against Israel,” Bat Ye’or writes, no mention much less prominence given to the role of Europe in paying Arabs to murder Jews and drive them from their land [Eurabia 178-9]. Europe’s diplomatic, media and ecclesial elites assist and collaborate with jihadists in turning Jews into Nazis, even as the Europeans have created, armed, funded, and apologized for the genocide practiced and promised by Islam against Jews (as in the recent comments by Iran’s head of state). The UN was created to prevent and protest genocide, but when Israel is targeted by and threatened, explicitly with genocide month after month, year after year in Arab media, the most the UN can do is whimper, pretty much what the French state is doing now as global jihad gives it to them good.

“No mention in the media,” that’s the problem; that’s why the first European intifada is not funny despite its manifestation that what goes around, comes around, despite its demonstration that those who curse the children of Israel will be cursed. In the media, in America on local network affiliates not only on CNN (Al Jazeera’s sister) there is no mention that these are Muslim riots and rioters, that the violence is a spike in the ceaseless global jihad that the Koran commands against dar al Harb. How far will the jihad have to go in Europe before the European mass media identify it for what it is? Could this suicidal treachery and blindness be carried out by the media elites in America, covering the tracks of the enemy shock troops that attack it? Could they? Have they not? Remember those news clips (I’ve heard eyewitness accounts, too) of American Arabs celebrating 9/11 and how quickly that news was suppressed while Americans were told to love and respect Islam, the “religion of peaceâ€??

We are witnessing the repetition of historic, inter-cultural events of the first magnitude. For six centuries, the Roman Empire, and its Christian, Byzantine (Greek) successor state in the eastern Mediterranean gradually crushed out most of Jewish life, — prosperity, power, land ownership and population in the land of Israel. They changed its name to “Palestina,” trisected it, and then, in the early 600’s CE, even as Mohammed was destroying the Jewish towns and farms in the northern part of what now is called “Saudi Arabia,” they destroyed most of the Jews and Jewish property that remained in central Israel in a series of hegemonic wars with their perennial enemies, the Persian empire. The Greeks and the Persians thus created the vacuum that allowed the Arabs, for the first time in history, to burst out of their pagan backwater as more than raiders and slave traders, but as conquerors whose message to subject populations was “convert or die.” Islam was born over the broken body of Israel, a nightmare mid-wifed by a decadent Greco-Roman culture in its wars with Persia.

Now the vacuum created by the disintegration of Christianity, for centuries (indeed, for all its history) dying a protracted violent death from its internal contradictions and profound conflict about its Jewish roots, again is filled by global jihad. The Pan-Islamic nationalism you re-ignited, dear Europe, is about to give you the coup de grace which you have deserved for centuries. Your accounts are due and payable in full: pay up! The sword of the prophet is going to make you pay as his armies sweep across Europe. Will you repent and ‘fess up’ before you’re done, Yavan [Biblical name for Greece), will you make amends to the Jewish people and Israel, you with your sort-of-clever project of hijacking and deforming Judaism while branding Jews as deicides?

The major media’s cover-up of the truth about the “unrest” in France (& about the murderous hatred and global ambitions of Islam) mutes satisfaction about the recompense now being paid out in Paris. The message to Israel and to all B’nei Noach, current and potential, those who know how light and sweet the yoke of G-d is for non-Jews to have a share in the kingdom of heaven, is that Israel had better find itself some genuine Jewish leadership very soon. The earthquake is not coming soon: it has already begun.
