Why I am sick of stupid people talking about Israel

I am so fed up with stupid people pontificating about Israel despite knowing nothing about it.

I am so sick of stupid people. Not regular dumb people, but the kind of cultivated, morally pretentious, pseudo-intellectual stupid people who adopt the so-called Palestinian cause.

Journalists, professors, UN hacks, and trust-fund activists spout drivel about Israel with a confidence to which they have no right. It is not just that they know nothing. It is the arrogance layered over their ignorance, and the whole ecosystem of idiocy that rewards their delusion and punishes those who speak the truth.

These people do not care about facts or truth. They want a morality play where Jews are the villains. Everything else is detail. This essay is not for them; it has too many multisyllable words. It is for people still stuck arguing with these clowns at stuffy dinner parties, inescapable classrooms, and on comment threads that are a waste of time. It is for those who are going insane because the lies keep multiplying, and the world keeps clapping.

I am equally tired of the politically correct insistence that these people are not stupid, only ignorant. Wrong. They are first-order imbeciles. They have had 20 months now to separate fact from fiction with regards to the Israel-Hamas War, yet have failed to do so. Some of this refusal is obviously due to a psychological disorder, but it is also because they have underpowered cerebral cortexes.

Their view of the conflict is based on the absurd premise that the media is reporting honestly from Gaza. Only someone who has abandoned critical thinking and all effort to understand the conflict could believe this.

Hamas murders journalists, beats photographers, detains critics, and imposes complete censorship across Gaza. Every journalist, none of whom is foreign, is either embedded with Hamas or on Hamas’ leash. Every camera, every voice, every “source” is pre-approved or punished. Yet the BBC, CNN, and The New York Times quote “Gaza health officials” as if they were talking to the Mayo Clinic and not a genocidal Islamist death cult.

These people “reporting” from Gaza are not journalists. They are stenographers with a Hamas press badge. Every casualty figure you read comes from Hamas, through its so-called “Ministry of Health,” which includes Hamas terrorists in its civilian death toll, but never reports militants killed at all. Children are used as human shields, and then their deaths are presented as Israeli war crimes. The news media swallows this whole as if the media were big, dumb grouper fish.
