Murdering Jewish Children 'With Their Bare Hands'
This is just beginning. And it's going to get so much worse.
On Thursday, Hamas, a proxy army of the authoritarian Islamic regime in Iran, returned the remains of Shiri Bibas and her sons Ariel and Kfir, the youngest of the hostages kidnapped by the genocidal Islamist terrorist organization on Oct. 7, 2023.
According to Israeli forensics, the family did not die in an Israeli strike, as Hamas has long claimed. Instead, their captors murdered them "with their bare hands." We do not know what exactly that means. Israel has not released details of the methods used to murder these children.
So you'll just have to use your imagination there.
And while you're at it, how about you dwell in the darkness on this for a moment: What is going through a man's head when he murders a Jewish child with his "bare hands?"
Just put yourself in that headspace for a moment. It's true, after all, that many Palestinian children in Gaza have been killed in Israel’s formidable and necessary military offensive, but that is very different from being individually targeted for death and murdered with bare hands. So try to conceive of what level of pain and agony one must feel to think that murdering children is the answer. Which demons must possess someone to result in this level of brutal bloodshed?
And while you're meditating on the murders of Jewish children, consider for a moment two other news stories from today, the latter of which I wrote up this morning for The Algemeiner.
First, former hip-hop billionaire Kanye West appeared on his X account in a video where he wore a swastika T-shirt. He also announced a "swasti-coin" cryptocurrency. He made his statements advocating for an ideology based in murdering Jewish children on a website owned by the world's richest man.
Let's put this in perspective here. One of the top five most successful, wealthiest rap artists of all time—24 Grammies, $400 million in net worth, a fall from $1.5 billion before his initial burst of antisemitism in fall 2022—is choosing to spend his time, money, and dwindling social capital promoting the murder of Jewish children.
And he is doing so with the support of the world's wealthiest man, He Who Shall Not Be Named, our Shadow President now assaulting the federal government with a chainsaw and an army of morally confused, racist young men when he’s not busy impregnating, then ignoring 20-something right-wing social media personalities.
Meanwhile, a left-wing activist nonprofit group called Eko released the results of research it conducted into the advertising practices of Meta and X. They created 10 German-language ads to run targeting German voters before the election that took place on Sunday. These ads featured violent rhetoric against Muslims and Jews. They advocated for killing Muslim "vermin" and "rodents." They urged the burning down of synagogues "to stop the globalist Jewish rat agenda." They showed Muslims in gas chambers.
Meta approved five of these ads, while X approved all ten.
Thus, two of the world's most powerful billionaire tech CEOs choose to make their fortunes by providing platforms to advocate for the murder of both Jewish and Muslim children.
Few great fortunes are built without great cruelty.
Over the last couple months, I've grown entranced with the novels of Umberto Eco (1932-2016). Foucault's Pendulum hooked me unlike any novel has in years (decades?), and his final novel, Numero Zero (his shortest, apparently), knocked my socks off, particularly given its focus on media and journalism. I plan to reread them both and collect all of his titles.
Now I'm reading 2012’s The Prague Cemetery, a historical novel set in the mid-through-late 1800s and, oh, is it just incredible, too! The book's protagonist is Captain Simone Simonini, a master forger of documents who begins working for various European intelligence agencies, committing crime after crime without a care in the world. He's also bigoted against seemingly everyone, but especially the Jewish people.
The big point of the novel is that he supposedly created The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, one of the central texts which would inspire the Holocaust and continues to fuel genocidal Jew-hatred today. Eco’s novel clocks in at nearly 450 pages, and I'm only about halfway through it, with this central plot point only emerging now.
Simonini has found Maurice Joly’s obscure 1864 book Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu, the basis for the Protocols. He is just starting to figure out how he can plagiarize it to become a document he can usefully sell to one of the intelligence agencies which employ his criminal skills.
As I was wondering about the above interconnected assortment of stories on Jewish child murder, those who support it, and those who profit from it, I opened the book to come across these paragraphs at the top of page 194, my emphasis added:
Who was left? The Jews, for heaven's sake! Deep down, I thought it was only my grandfather who had been so obsessed, but after listening to Toussenel I realized there was an anti-Jewish market not just among all the descendants of Abbé Barruch (and there were quite a few of them), but also among revolutionaries, republicans and socialists. The Jews were the enemy of the altar, but also of the ordinary people, whose blood they sucked. And they were also the enemy of the throne, depending on who governed. I had to work on the Jews.
I realized that the task would not be easy. Some in church circles might be impressed by a recycling of Barruel's material, with the Jews in league with the Freemasons and the Templars to bring about the French Revolution, but it would be of no interest to a socialist like Toussenel. I needed to say something more specific about the connection between Jews and the accumulation of capital and a conspiracy with the British.
I began to regret that I had never wanted to meet a Jew in my life. I realized there was so much I didn't know about the object of my repugnance, which was becoming more and more suffused with resentment.
How does one murder a Jewish child with their bare hands?
How does one proudly proclaim to millions of people their support of the murder of Jewish children?
How does one sit back on a pile of ketamine-soaked currency and collect even more precious, precious dollar bills by empowering people to send out messages promoting the murder of Jewish children?
The answer? Through disconnecting from humanity so deeply to the point that Jews or Muslims or whoever one wants to blame simply is not a human being at all. They're a "virus," "vermin," "rodent." They're just a figment of one’s imagination, a lie carefully constructed.
This is just beginning. And it's going to get so much worse.
