A Familiar Story

I'd like to relate to you an incident that I heard about today.  I can't say it is being totally ignored by the mainstream press, as I got this story from CNN, but you can be sure that it will be little covered and soon forgotten.  Here it is:


"EU says around 100 civilians reportedly killed in Burkina Faso village massacre...


“Nearly a hundred civilians, including women and children, are reported to have been killed in a massacre in the village of Zaongo, in the north-central region of Burkina Faso,” the EU External Action (EEAS) said in a statement.


In early April, authorities blamed terrorists for the killing of at least 44 people in separate attacks on villages in northern Burkina Faso.


Later that month, 136 others, including babies were killed in a similar onslaught on a village in the same region by armed men in military uniform. Authorities condemned the attack and opened an investigation.


Burkina Faso has been the epicenter of violence that has spread across the vast Sahel region by Islamist groups linked to al Qaeda and the Islamic State."


Three barbaric slaughters in the last year, in one small country, totaling nearly 300 dead.  And as noted, this is not the total account of the carnage.  Similar atrocities have been perpetrated over recent years by Boko Haram in Nigeria, Al Shabab in Eastern Africa, and other Islamic groups.  


Do these monstrous acts, all perpetrated in the name of Islam, all in the service of forcing Islam on the world, remind you of any other recent event?  And Africa is hardly the only place where things like this take place.  In fact, the world has become so inured to these horrors perpetrated in the name of one single religion, that they are virtually ignored.


Can you name any incident of such savagery perpetrated without cause by Jews?  And yet a monstrous campaign has been mounted in the last month to force the world to treat Israelis as the real evildoers, after they suffered 1200 slaughtered by Islamist killers exactly like the ones we see in Africa and other countries.  


It is an atrocity that anyone could confuse perpetrator and victim like this.  It is long past time that the world recognize who the truly evil side is in not just the Israeli conflict, but in all of these slaughters that happen over and over again, around the world.

It's a curious dynamic. Mass killings and other atrocities committed by Muslims are so common that they come to seem normative. The media do not focus on them because they're dog-bites-man stories, and the public stops finding them outrageous because that is, after all, just what Muslims do, as if it were unfair to expect them to behave any better. Thus the group with the worst track record of brutality gets the least opprobrium for it.

To that extent, it's similar to the way woketardia thinks of slavery historically. They treat it as an evil unique to the West, whereas in fact every complex society in history had slavery, and the West was unusual for ending slavery (though not unique, as Japan abolished it even earlier).

With the desperate efforts to blame and condemn Israel on every possible pretext, there's obviously more to it than that -- nobody is particularly blaming the victims in Boko Haram's massacres, they're just ignoring them. In the case of Israel's conflict, it seems obvious to me that it's just the ancient traditional anti-Semitism of Europe (and of the Middle East -- many of the attendees at the pro-Palestinian / Nazi rallies in the West since October 7 have been Muslims) re-asserting itself in a slightly new form.

"after all, just what Muslims do..." Infidel, you touch on something I have mentioned several times the last few years. World opinion, which is blatantly racist toward Jews, condemning Israel for building a wall, or enforcing building codes in East Jerusalem, is equally racist toward Muslims, when it treats them as subhuman barbarians who cannot be expected to live according to civilized norms.

I got5 a comment from the perpetual liar Samantha, who has plagued my blog with her anti-Semitic hatred for years. Samantha, you know I do not allow miserable subhumans like you to comment here.

My granduncle Dikran doesn't go online much anymore.

In the old days, he would have reamed you a new one for omitting the ethnic cleansing of Armenians that Azerbaijan carried out in Artsakh - you didn't mention it at the end of September, and you didn't mention it here.

Then he would have reamed you another new one for supporting the country which provided the majority of Azerbaijan's weapons AND is currently threatening to get destroy the Armenian Quarter.

1) Experts estimate Israel supplied Azerbaijan with nearly 70% of its arsenal between 2016 and 2020 .

2) This time, they brought about 15 settlers with them, several of them armed and leading leashed dogs.

“This is our land,” they reportedly told local Armenians. “Leave now.”


Q) Why should I sympathize with a country that wants to get rid of us?

Hey Large Green Bird,

I found some more anti-Semitic subhumans for you to condemn.
