Gaza: "Lord of the Flies" starring adults instead of kids
Gaza: "Lord of the Flies" starring adults instead of kids
by Bill Levinson
The anarchy predicted for Gaza has become a reality. It is now ruled by warlords, armed gangs, and terrorists, with no independent judiciary or anything like the rule of law.
Mortimer Zuckerman, "A Fulcrum Moment," U.S. News and World Report, December 19 2005.
Current events in Gaza fulfill my prediction (warning, graphic violence), which I posted more than two years ago, that an independent Palestinian state would be William Golding's Lord of the Flies starring adults instead of kids: a culture in which, per Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan,
Hereby it is manifest that during the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war; and such a war as is of every man against every man.
...Whatsoever therefore is consequent to a time of war, where every man is enemy to every man, the same consequent to the time wherein men live without other security than what their own strength and their own invention shall furnish them withal. In such condition there is no place for industry, because the fruit thereof is uncertain: and consequently no culture of the earth; no navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by sea; no commodious building; no instruments of moving and removing such things as require much force; no knowledge of the face of the earth; no account of time; no arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.
Q: What's a quick way to tell Israelis from Palestinians?
A: Israelis turn deserts into gardens, Palestinians turn gardens into deserts.
The Palestinians' behavior upon taking control of Gaza proves beyond any doubt that their dirt culture and trash culture-- a culture of their own making, by the way-- proves them incapable of governing themselves.
American Jewish donors had bought more than 3,000 greenhouses from Israeli settlers in Gaza for $14 million last month and transferred them to the Palestinian Authority. Former World Bank President James Wolfensohn, who brokered the deal, put up $500,000 of his own cash.
Palestinian police stood by helplessly Tuesday as looters carted off materials from greenhouses in several settlements, and commanders complained they did not have enough manpower to protect the prized assets. In some instances, there was no security and in others, police even joined the looters, witnesses said.
The Palestinian has an instinctive compulsion to destroy anything that has two or more pieces of wood, brick, or other structural elements nailed or mortared together, as shown by its treatment of abandoned synagogues in Gaza. The Palestinians admittedly have no use for synagogues but their sub-animal (I say sub-animal because animals will readily take advantage of anything that will put a roof, natural or otherwise, over their heads) mentalities were incapable of grasping the idea that a sturdy and well-built synagogue might be converted into a school, hospital, or even a mosque.
Thousands of celebrating Palestinians thronged through Neve Dekalim on early Monday just after Israeli soldiers withdrew, setting fire to a building that just last month served as a rabbinical college for Jewish settlers.
There were similar scenes throughout Gaza as Palestinians headed straight for empty synagogues Israel had decided to leave intact. The fires caused little structural damage in the fortress-like concrete and stone structures, but Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas said the buildings would be destroyed.
The Zuckerman article adds that terrorism, in the form of homicide bombing, is "so ingrained in the Palestinian culture that it is a major theme of formal education, family values, religious practices, television broadcasting, posters, pre-suicide eulogies, trading cards, family celebrations, movies, music, games, and summer camp." This is not a civilized culture, it is not a human culture, and it is not even an animal culture. It is a gutter culture, a mud culture, and a trash culture that is not worthy of respect by any civilized person. The best way to sum up the current status of these two-legged locusts is,
Palestinians: Homo Sapiens by BIRTH, Subhuman by CHOICE
Israel must wake up to reality instead of rosy-colored dreams. You cannot negotiate or reason with a rabid dog, you have to stop the rabid dog.
