Sailing to Gaza: An Odyssey of Idiocy

How hard is it to get genocide right?

When I say get it right, I don't mean in terms of committing it. I mean in terms of simply recognizing it. And also, recognizing when something is not a genocide.

Genocide is a rather stark thing. Generally speaking, it's as obvious as a train wreck. How can anybody get it wrong or fail to recognize it?

Well, that's where politics, human foolishness, and human evil come into play. And when we're talking about Israel versus Gaza, most of the world is sunk in an almost incomprehensible foolishness and state of moral idiocy.

How can that be? It's a combination of godlessness and oceans of propaganda. The godlessness creates the moral idiocy, and then the propaganda does the rest and... Voila! The Intifada is glamorized and globalized. And now, all the major cities of the West, and their so-called institutions of higher learning, are overrun with Hamas-supporting, Palestinian flag-waving zombies.

This, despite the unfathomable evil done to Israel on October 7th. And this, despite the fact that Israel had left Gaza years before. The Gazans could have turned their country into a Mediterranean paradise, but instead, they turned it into a terror state. Because the only thing that seems to matter to them is not their children or any notion of prosperity or any kind of a decent future, but rather, their intolerance of the very existence of a Jewish state.

To a propagandized and morally sick world — which unfortunately includes most of Western Civilization — Hamas et al. are seen as the freedom fighters while Israel is seen as the committer of genocide. So, the evil of Hamas is abetted by the foolishness of the world at large, and Israel ends up being the singularly most delegitimized nation on earth by leaps and bounds.

And now, entering this morass of human foolishness and evil, is the one and only, most famous neurodivergent girl on the planet: Greta Thunberg. Known for her overwrought scolding of the world's governments for their climate inaction (“How dare you!”), she has joined a “freedom flotilla” headed for the irredeemable Gaza Strip to deliver humanitarian supplies and protest the war.

This epic, seafaring odyssey is perhaps unequaled in human history, in terms of preposterous virtue signaling, that is. In terms of bravery, not so much, given that practically the entire world already agrees with this ridiculous crew of smug brats.

They are unlikely to make it through Israel's blockade of Gaza, though, and it's equally doubtful they will die as martyrs on the high seas. It's simply nonsensical nautical narcissism of the highest order.

Why can't this poor Swedish girl, whom the left adopted as a kind of climate-whispering savant, just stick to climate? Because all leftist causes, whether logically related or not, are interchangeable. But in this particular case, climate change and the Israel-Gaza conflict are actually related in a certain twisted way: In the collective hive mind of the left, they're both about genocide.

You see, if something isn't done to stop climate change, then countless millions will die, and that will have been a genocide, in effect. It will have been caused by greedy oligarchs, industrialists, and capitalist pigs who remorselessly defile the atmosphere such that civilizational catastrophe is only (though seemingly always) a few short years away.

The fantastical, supposed climate genocide is always just over the horizon, and trying to prevent it gives St. Greta and her followers/manipulators a cause, the pursuance of which is a desperate attempt to fill their otherwise bereft souls with meaning.

Good luck with that.

And so this ship of fools, with its celebrity spectrum mascot, churns toward Gaza, a boatload of morally confused do-gooders, glomming onto the Palestinian cause as a depraved virtue signal. And everyone on that boat, from stem to stern, is utterly without any perception that a.) October 7 was anything other than totally justified, and that, b.) the Palestinians are their own worst enemies because of their monomaniacal focus on the destruction of another people, and therefore are beyond help.

It’s amusing to think that in the not-too-terribly distant future, after Europe has become majority Islamic, there are going to be millions of people kicking themselves and asking, “What in the freaking hell were we thinking? And why were we ever shilling for that little strip of barbarism against a civilized and eternally besieged Israel?”

But in the meantime, the confused moral tides of the world will supportively propel this boat towards its misguided destination, even as it is metaphorically wrecked on the shoals of stupidity.

We wait, as well, for an equally comical Queers For Palestine cruise to Gaza. Ahoy, matey — and happy Pride Month!
