“One important fact left unsaid as the far-left demands that Israel allow Hamas and its supporters to go unpunished and, ideally, cedes to the Arabs the entire land of Israel, is the fact that the surrounding Arab nations are refusing to take displaced Gazans in as refugees.

Following the disastrous Arab Spring, which led to massive upheaval in the Muslim lands of Africa and the Middle East, Europe opened its doors to refugees from those wars.

Europe did this even though its cultural connection to these refugees was minimal to nonexistent.

It was, the Europeans felt, the right thing to do. Angela Merkel certainly felt it was the right thing to do when in in 2015 she opened Germany’s borders with the words “we can manage it”.

Of the 5 million who sought asylum in the EU from 2015 to 2020, nearly 40 percent did so in Germany. This has directly led to the rise – or should we say “resurgence”? – of the German far-right.

Organised crime also benefited greatly, as many, if not most, were smuggled into Europe and the UK.

In September 2015, Europol estimated there were 30,000 suspected migrant smugglers operating in and around Europe.

By the end of 2016, this number had increased to 55,000.

In Europe, as in the UK, we are told that our geographical borders are meaningless because we have a moral obligation to welcome in refugees from around the world—generally not even refugees from war, they are simply refugees from places these economic migrants don’t like very much. Places without functioning social welfare systems.

If the Gazan people have one single value in their homeland it is that of Hamas’ human shield – a policy it’s enforcing with ever-increasing, murderous brutality.

And there is no propaganda more effective than the dead bodies of babies.

Whilst Hamas may not want to lose its human shield, Vladimir Putin, however, would be delighted by the situation.

This will certainly cause a backlash against national governments.

And this is coming at a time when Europe, the UK, and the USA are preparing to go to the polls.

Changes of government, at a time when Europe is teetering on the brink of war, will be highly destabilising.

Many of the right-wing parties who will benefit from this year’s elections are beholden financially and politically to the Kremlin.

Today it is just Viktor Orban who is rocking the boat. By the end of 2024 he may be just one of many of Putin’s Puppets in Brussels.
