In my recent article on the suspicious nature of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict I noted that, just as with Ukraine, the establishment is seeking to lure Americans into supporting one side or the other despite that fact that neither side concerns public interests at home and neither is really worth fighting for. It is a classic destabilization and globalization strategy reminiscent of WWI – Whenever Americans begin to rally around their own culture, their own security and seek to solve their own problems, suddenly another foreign conflict arises which for some reason requires us to drop everything we are doing and intervene.

For many readers it might not seem like much, but after nearly a decade of woke cultism and far left efforts to deconstruct the US there has been a backlash which is now threatening to suffocate the social justice movement. BLM in on a steep decline, SJW infested universities are suffering from dwindling enrollment and lack of legitimacy, woke Hollywood is burning and their profits are collapsing, the trans agenda is finally being obstructed and multiple states are blocking efforts by queer activists to target and groom children, and, focus has been returning to the dangers of open-border policies with a majority of Americans now demanding something be done.
It’s subtle, but the pendulum is swinging back on the political left and they don’t like it. “America First” is slowly making a comeback. What is the establishment to do? Well, what they always do: Get the populace trapped in another pointless foreign entanglement. That way our focus on the home-front is diverted, our resources and tax dollars are transferred overseas and our soldiers are sent to die on alien ground instead of fighting to secure our own borders and people. As a society we are not allowed to put America first; when we try we are consistently sabotaged.
In the case of the current quagmire, Americans are being pressured daily to pick a team. Many conservatives will inevitably choose Israel over the Muslims, and in a way this is understandable. Islamic culture and Sharia ideology are completely incompatible with traditional western values and they are a destructive presence in predominantly Christian countries. People will support Israel because it is seen as the “lesser of two evils.”
Whether or not this is actually true is up for debate and there are plenty of historic incidents which have made Israel a liability more than an ally. Then again, we have all seen what mass Muslim immigration has done to Europe with skyrocketing theft, violent crime, rape gangs and terrorist attacks. Regardless of what side you might think is “more right” in the latest conflict, it’s important to understand that this does not change the fact that there are other interests at play that want to exploit the situation for their own gain.
Islamic culture, for example, sees the west as a ripe fruit to be picked and devoured. They see westerners as cattle and believe their religion is meant to one day overwhelm and conquer the west using a tactic they call “Quiet Conquest” or “Soft Jihad.” This is not a concept limited to a few fringe believers, it is a dominant fantasy among the majority of the Muslim population to implement Sharia Law around the world. This includes around 50% of Muslims living in western nations openly demanding Sharia Law in the US and Europe. They are taught to hate non-believers, this is reality.
Hell, the Israelis might think the same way about Americans and Europeans; how many times has the ADL tried to manipulate public discussion and interfere with freedom of speech here in the US? But they aren’t seeking to migrate by the tens of millions in a soft jihad. There is a matter of triage to take into consideration.
It is this very mindset of infiltration and subjugation among Muslims that I believe appeals so much to the political left. As we have witnessed over the past week, there have been numerous mass demonstrations in favor of Palestinians in US cities (including a brief occupation of the Capitol Building) and the majority of the people involved in these events are NOT Muslims. Rather, they are the same leftist lunatics that backed the BLM riots. They are the same people who rage and froth over any attempts to close the southern border. They are the same people that demand gender fluid indoctrination in public schools. These people make up the bulk of the pro-Palestinian protests in America.
But why? The fact is, Muslim groups DESPISE progressive ideology. If a leftist was to publicly promote any one of their beliefs in an Islamic controlled nation they would be imprisoned or put to death. Try to teach trans sexuality to kids in a Muslim school and then count the days before you are thrown off a roof or beaten in the streets. There is simply no intersect between modern progressives and Islam; so why are they working together?
First, we have to establish that there are two separate motivations here; the goals of the political left and the goals of globalists. The paths of each group often meet and leftists are becoming more and more integrated into the globalist ideal, but they are still distinct in a number of ways. At bottom, leftists are useful idiots with aspirations of power who feed on the scraps thrown to them from the globalist table. Ironically, many leftists still think they are fighting against “the man” while they pander to globalists who ARE “the man.”
The Twisted Alliance
Just as leftists happily break bread with the very corporate money elites they claim to be fighting against, they also have a habit of embracing ethnic and religious groups that are hostile to the progressive culture of hedonism. I would chalk up this bizarre alliance to what you might call “mutual exploitation.”
