Egypt Warns Israel Against Launching ‘Devastating’ Gaza Operation…….

Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak is warning Israel against a ‘massive campaign’ in Gaza as the Jewish state plans to end, once and for all, the rocket fire coming from the Strip.

The Tundra Tabloids believes however that Egypt would like nothing better than to see the Hamas badly weakened, if not thoroughly taken apart, but issues these statements of warnings to present a unified Arab front.

While Hosni Mubarak warns of excessive use of force, it quietly hopes Israel uses every bit of its force in dismantling “Hamastan”, thereby ridding both states of a major headache.

But don’t be fooled, it’s not that the Egyptians disagree with Hamas’ goals, even though there is a cold peace between Israel and Egypt, the latter hates the former as much as the Hamas, but knows that Israel is not going anywhere any time soon. The Egyptian regime also recognizes that the ‘chest thumping’ Muslim Brotherhood in Gaza (Hamas) is by default, an existential threat to Mubarak’s regime and would not lose a minute of sleep over its demise, no matter how much their opinions dovetail concerning Israel.

J’lem Post: “Egypt warned Israel on Sunday against launching a massive military operation in Gaza, but Israeli defense officials said Cairo was angry with Hamas leaders for ending the six-month period of relative calm.

“Egypt is very upset at Hamas, and understands that the leadership there needs to be replaced,” one official told The Jerusalem Post. Officially, though, the Egyptians cautioned Israel against an escalation of violence.

“We say such a move would have devastating consequences, devastating humanitarian consequences,” Egyptian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hossam Zaki told the Post in a telephone interview. “This is something we cannot accept or condone under any terms.”

Bologna. Egypt is such a state that never worries about the excessive use of force on the domestic front, so it stands to reason that any such concerns over individual hardships arising from an Israeli operation in Gaza, is just Egyptian PR maneuvering, or paying “lip service” to Muslim Arab solidarity. It looks good and sounds good, and costs next to nothing, and Israel understands that. KGS

How concerned can they be? There is nothing to stop normal commerce between Egypt and Gaza yet the media insists there’s a blockade. Either the Egyptians are participating in the blockade or there’s no blockade at all.

Egypt has been offered sovereinty over Gaza. For some strange reasons, humanitarian concerns for the people there do not seem to compell Egypt to return to this territory they ruled for 19 years prior to 1967.

There’s No Common Cultural Legacy For The Alt-Right

Still, is there something to it? Is there a common heritage that will cover El Greco and Hume and Dostoyevsky? Is there one that can include the Jacobites and the Jacobins? There is, but it is not racial, and white supremacists reject it because it rejects them. The unifying heritage of Europe is religious and philosophical. It is Jerusalem and Athens, in one famous formulation. Christian religion and Greek philosophy, filtered through Roman law and culture, are the foundation of European culture. The tensions, agreements, developments and settlements between these have shaped the Western world, and these roots of Western civilization are not congenial to white supremacy.

Christianity is universal in its message and Jewish in its origins. For centuries after its founding, Christianity’s center was the Mediterranean world, including Asia Minor and North Africa. Christianity has never been defined by race, and locally-grown racist heresies are only sustainable among those ignorant of Christianity’s teachings, origins and history.

Greek philosophy is likewise ill-suited to serve as a basis for white identity. It is either too universal (addressing the human condition in general) or too local—none of us live as citizens of an ancient Greek polis. Later philosophical developments in Europe, such as the philosophies of the Enlightenment, likewise tend to be too universal for white supremacists seeking a tribal identity. As for the scientific revolution that developed within Western culture (albeit with much borrowed from outside Europe), math doesn’t care what color someone is.

"More here"

War is being waged against Western culture from within which is in essence a war against Christianity and its moral origins in the Hebrew Bible. By attacking these Biblical foundations in the name of reason and human rights, the culture warriors of secularism are sawing off the branch on which they sit. The only way to defend Western civilisation is to reaffirm and restore its Biblical foundations. My argument is a development of ideas I first explored in my 2012 book The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth and Power.

We are living in an era which extols reason, science and human rights. These are said to be essential for progress, a civilised society and the betterment of humanity. Religion is said to be their antithesis, the source instead of superstitious mumbo-jumbo, oppression and backward-thinking.

Some of this hostility is being driven by the perceived threat from Islamic terrorism and the Islamisation of Western culture. However, this animus against religion has far deeper roots and can be traced back to what is considered the birthplace of Western reason, the 18th-century Enlightenment.

Actually, it goes back specifically to the French Enlightenment. In England and Scotland, the Enlightenment developed reason and political liberty within the framework of Biblical belief. In France, by contrast, anti-clericalism morphed into fundamental hostility to Christianity and to religion itself.

“Ecrasez l’infame,” said Voltaire (crush infamy) — the infamy to which he referred being not just the Church but Christianity, which he wanted to replace with the religion of reason, virtue and liberty, “drawn from the bosom of nature”.

Perfecting society

But this Enlightenment did not remove religion so much as pervert it. It took millenarian fantasies, the idea that the perfection of the world was at hand, and it secularised them. Instead of God producing heaven on earth, it would be mankind which would bring that about. Reason would create the perfect society and “progress” was the process by which utopia would be attained.
