The Palestinian as Europe’s Necessary Martyr

Being Palestinian fits very well into the Islamic penetration of the West, because in both cases the reconquest is tied to being a victim. (In Europe, because of the Holocaust of the Jews — since it happened, every minority is automatically seen as a victim; and in Palestine, because of the oppression by the Jews — who themselves became evil and proved that any martyr can turn into a Nazi.)

Both things rest on a very central axis in Christian history:

On the other hand, there is also something very profound here that connects to Muslim ideology itself, which sees victimhood as an exalted state. In Islam it is stated explicitly in the Qur’an that the dead person is alive in his struggle for Allah, and that whoever lays down his life in the struggle for Allah is the one by whose merit the religion and its believers live. A fascinating relationship is created here: the Jew is merely the stage on which the dynamic of Muslim deception through sacrifice on the one hand, and the Christian need to display compassion toward absolute evil (Judaism) for the sake of the weak (Palestine), meet.

This is truly a tremendous crossroads.

And from this we learn that classical Christianity — at least Catholic or Lutheran — grants the Jew a very clear narrative role in this context. A role so important that its narrative power is greater than reality itself.

In fact, the need for the Palestinian is not just so they won’t feel bad about the Holocaust; the need for the Palestinian is an affirming need. The story cannot exist in a situation where the Jew turns from victim into master without revealing that his victimhood was fake and a cover.

In this way, the need for the Palestinian is more real than reality itself.

But even if Europe were to wake up to this, at this stage:
