Another Tiny Mistake
Dec 10, 2007
Via Samizdata comes the following from the comments section of the Guardian:
But if the Arabs choose to attack Israel with conventional weapons and Israel loses, so be it. As the cliche goes those that live by force die by force. Even if Israel ceases to exist, as long as it doesn't nuke the world in a spasm of anger in the process, Jews will still be welcome and prosper in many part of the world, just like they did for thousands of years. The end of the Israel mistake will not be a bad thing.
Amazing how someone could write so casually about a second Holocaust.
"Jews will still be welcome and prosper in many part of the world, just like they did for thousands of years."
Why do I suddenly feel that I have occupied an alternative universe all my life.

Israel's mistake is that it never really frightened its enemies.
It's the paradox of the barking dog that only targets that are considered harmless are called a threat. If you're really a threat, then your enemies are silent.

If the Jews ceased to exist tomorrow, it would take a terrible toll on the sciences and arts. If the Muslims were to cease to exist tomorrow, it would pave the way for a future of global peace and security, along with unprecedented wealth for humanity as the first world countries colonize the gaps left behind by the Muslims. More succinctly, if the Jews die, we'll be a big step toward a dark age, if the Muslims died off, we'd have a lot of prime real estate.
