Imagine Jews suddenly stopped existing - these groups won't suddenly be pacifists. Here in Sweden we've had strings of ethnic based abuse and torture against Swedes, usually against middle school boys (using slurs about Swedes while beating them, sexually assaulting them, robbing them, burying them up to the neck, pissing on them etc etc and filming it.) We ought to stand up for Jews and Israel because it's the right thing to do, but also to signal that this behavior will no longer be tolerated. These are not people you give an inch to and the west has already given a mile.

Western Progressivism has done immense harm and the fundamental reason why was nailed decades ago by TS Eliot in this pithy quote: “Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm; but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.”

While Progressive liberals have been indulging in nice, feel-good postures by valorising every ethnicity other than white European or Slavic, last Saturday we saw what - as you say - is the norm of human tribal warfare - the women get raped, brutalised (and often then killed), the men meanwhile just get quickly slaughtered. In 2020 the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war was made shockingly vivid Christina Lamb's 'Our Bodies Their Battlefield' which I reviewed here: https://grahamcunningham.substack.com/p/life-in-the-shadows-of-metoo. "Her stories of rape, torture and sadistic maiming on a massive scale are so horrific that you are left emotionally punch-drunk and numb before you reach the end of the first chapter. But as a permanent record of brutality inflicted on literally millions of women – of a kind beyond the capacity of most people even to imagine – it is an invaluable document."

You say you hope that Progressive liberals will wise up now. I hope so too but I'm not holding my breath.
