Al final de la guerra de 1948, los árabes que se quedaron en Israel se convirtieron en ciudadanos.

Los judíos que permanecieron en la tierra tomada por Jordania y Egipto fueron expulsados o asesinados. No quedó ninguno.

Solo un bando se propuso limpiar su territorio de la otra gente. No fue Israel.

I am honored to be a part of 76 retired U.S. officers (including 13 Generals, 27 Lieutenant Generals, 19 Major Generals, 5 Brigadier Generals) Refuting the Genocide Allegation Against Israel.

"The precedent established today regarding Israel will shape the conditions under which American forces fight tomorrow. Protecting civilians and preserving the ability of our nation to defend itself requires us to defend the truth when the laws of war are being distorted to make false charges of genocide."

Le plus célèbre défenseur des travailleurs n'a jamais versé le moindre salaire à sa propre employée de maison.

Karl Marx a passé sa vie à dénoncer l'exploitation de l'homme par l'homme.

Mais sous son propre toit, le prophète de la lutte des classes agissait exactement comme certains patrons bourgeois qu'il condamnait.

Pendant plus de quarante ans, Helene Demuth a été la servante de la famille Marx.

Elle a lavé leur linge, cuisiné leurs repas et élevé leurs enfants. Le tout sans jamais percevoir le moindre salaire régulier.

La domestique était simplement logée et nourrie. Taillable et corvéable à merci.

En 1851, l'auteur du Manifeste du parti communiste franchit une autre limite : il met sa servante enceinte.

Un garçon naît de cette relation asymétrique : Frederick.

Pour Marx, l'existence de ce fils illégitime est une catastrophe. Elle menace son image publique et son mariage avec une aristocrate prussienne.

Le grand défenseur du prolétariat refuse alors froidement de reconnaître son propre enfant ouvrier.

Pire, il orchestre un mensonge misérable pour sauver sa respectabilité.

Il convainc son fidèle ami, le riche industriel Friedrich Engels, d'endosser publiquement la paternité à sa place.

Le petit Frederick est arraché à sa mère et discrètement envoyé dans une famille d'accueil des quartiers pauvres de Londres.

Marx ne l'a jamais reconnu. Il ne lui a jamais versé le moindre sou.

Pendant des années, lorsque le garçon venait rendre visite à sa mère, Marx lui interdisait de passer par la porte principale de la maison. Il devait entrer par la porte de service, côté cuisine.

Le secret sera farouchement gardé par les pères du communisme.

Ce n'est que sur son lit de mort qu'Engels avouera enfin la véritable identité du père de l'enfant.

Karl Marx a écrit "Le Capital" pendant que sa servante nettoyait ses parquets gratuitement, après avoir caché et abandonné le fils qu'il lui avait fait.

@PiispaJari @Murskaamassa Tietänet että koko maailma on pahan vallassa. Juutalaisille on kuitenkin asetettu erityisen korkeita eettisiä vaatimuksia. En tietenkään väheksy jalkoihin joutuneiden kärsimyksiä, mutta otsikoissa on jatkuvasti israelilaisten tekosia eikä sanaakaan Nigeriasta, Turkista yms!

Jos juutalaiset kohtelevat c alueella huonosti kristittyjä, samaa tapahtuu kaikkialla.

@PiispaJari @Murskaamassa Mistäpä löysit luvut, 2 miljoonaa ja 3 miljoonaa, jotka sinun tietotoimistosi mukaan ovat murhattu?! Mitenkä se taas meni, älä sano väärää todistusta...

Mao – The Bloodiest Idiot Who Ever Lived

Between 45 and 80 million dead. Not in war. Not in camps, mostly. In peacetime, in a country at peace with itself, killed by a series of decisions so stupid that a competent farmer could have refuted every one of them in an afternoon. This is what happens when a warlord with no education in anything runs a billion people – and is applauded from Paris while he does it.

1. The sparrows. In 1958 he decided the birds were eating the grain. So the entire country was mobilized to kill them: villagers banging pots and drums for days so the sparrows could not land, until they dropped dead from exhaustion. Hundreds of millions killed. Then came the locusts, which the sparrows had been eating. The harvest was devoured. The country had to import sparrows from the Soviet Union. A single conversation with an ornithologist – or a farmer – would have prevented it. There was no such conversation, because by then nobody told Mao anything he had not already decided.

2. The backyard furnaces. He wanted to overtake British steel production, so ordinary people were ordered to smelt steel in their yards. Millions of households melted down their own pots, tools, door handles and farm implements in mud furnaces, burning their furniture and their doors for fuel. What came out was unusable pig iron, immediately discarded. They had destroyed working tools to produce slag. And they had done it during harvest season, so the crops rotted in the fields while the peasantry played at metallurgy.

3. The planting theories. Close planting: crowd the seeds together, because plants of the same class do not compete. Deep ploughing: turn the soil to two metres, because deeper roots mean bigger yields. Both were nonsense, both were imposed nationwide on the authority of a man who had never farmed, and both destroyed the harvest wherever they were applied. The agronomists who knew better had learned what happened to agronomists who knew better.

4. Then the lie ate the country. Local officials, facing quotas and terror, reported harvests that did not exist. The state requisitioned grain proportional to the fake numbers. So the villages that had reported the biggest imaginary surpluses had the most real grain taken away. People starved beside empty granaries while China exported food to prove the Leap was working. This is the systemic lie in its purest form: a country that had made truth a crime, then starved on the arithmetic.

5. Between 45 and 80 million dead. The range is that wide because nobody counted – counting would have been a political act. And when Mao was informed, at the Lushan conference in 1959, that the policy was killing people, the man who told him was denounced and purged, and the campaign was intensified. There is no version of this where he did not know. There is only a version where knowing did not matter.

6. Then he did it again to the mind. The Cultural Revolution: students beating teachers, children denouncing parents, temples and libraries and instruments burned, a decade spent severing a four-thousand-year-old civilization from its own memory. Not a side effect – the objective. Destroy the transmission and the new man appears. The new man did not appear. Only the wreckage did.

7. And all the while, Paris applauded. The French intelligentsia – professors, editors, philosophers, entire journals – declared Maoism the future, made the Little Red Book fashionable, and treated any report of the famine as reactionary propaganda. They were not deceived; the reports were available. They simply preferred the theory to the peasants. Sartre and his circle backed the Cultural Revolution while it was burning the libraries. They paid nothing. They were never asked to.

The lesson is not that Mao was evil, though he was. It is that he was stupid – and that stupidity at the top is only lethal when nothing below can correct it. Kill the price signal, kill the free press, kill the expert who contradicts you, and there is no mechanism left to stop a bad idea about sparrows before it becomes forty-five million funerals.

Every system that abolishes correction eventually kills at the scale of its own ignorance. Mao’s ignorance was enormous, and so was his population.

And his portrait still hangs over Tiananmen Square.
