“Every living creature loves itself, and as soon as it is born strives to preserve itself.” — Cicero
Cicero, fortunately for himself, was not familiar with the concept of Identity Politics, Critical Race Theory, Institutional Racism, Intersectionality, or “White Privilege/ Male Privilege”; otherwise he would certainly have changed his mind. He did not yet know that a new race of people would appear that would not strive to preserve itself, but to voluntarily sacrifice itself in the name of the universal progress, personified in Muslim migrants, BLM and, of course, “Free Palestine.”
In Israel, this race has multiplied in an extraordinary way, and even Oct. 7 could not change its nature. Recently, two Israeli women decided to defend Arabs in Mukhmas, east of Ramallah, from “noar ha’gvaot” (“Hilltop Youth”). The stones of Jewish settlers injured them, and they were evacuated to an Israeli hospital.
Let’s think about it: two young women put themselves in huge danger TWICE. First, they traveled to an Arab village, where they could at very least easily have become the target of sexual aggression from those they were there to protect; second, they got involved in a direct conflict between groups of armed men.
This anomaly, a challenge to the basic instinct of self-preservation, is, of course, not just an Israeli phenomenon. Masochism has become the norm in Western civilization.
- The story of Robert Fisk from The Independent provides a textbook example. In Pakistan, Afghan refugees severely beat him. His reaction was forgiveness and understanding. He pointed out that their “brutality was entirely the product of others, of us, of we who had armed their struggle against the Russians and ignored their pain and laughed at their civil war and then armed and paid them again for the ‘War for Civilization’ just a few miles away and then bombed their homes and ripped up their families and called them ‘collateral damage.’”
- In 2008, an Italian activist and co-founder of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), Vittorio Arrigoni, 36, arrived in Gaza on a boat which broke Israel’s blockade to help “Palestinian people.” He had the Arabic word for “resistance” (??????, muqawama) tattooed on his right arm. Salafist jihadis seized and executed him.
- After mass gang rapes in Cologne on New Year’s Eve, Mayor Henriette Reker urged young women and girls to remain at “an arm’s length” from strangers, that is, apparently wear closed clothing (possibly burkas?). Not long before this, Recker herself was stabbed and seriously wounded whilst campaigning to become mayor.
- In December 2015, a gay person took pity on two young refugees in a park, inviting them to his home and offering food and clothing. This was the very last good deed in his life. Moroccans (aged 16 and 19), raped their benefactor, beat him to death and then dressed him in women’s clothes and strangled him with a dead snake, which they found in the park. (It is difficult to find a more symbolic story of the end of Western civilization than this one).
- In early April 2016, a Norwegian politician, Karsten Nordal Hauken, who helped immigrants from the Third World, invited a refugee from Somalia to his home. After getting food and shelter, the asylum seeker decided that all this was not enough for him; he raped Karsten Nordal Hauken. For Karsten, this was a “serious trauma”: he fell into depression, became addicted to alcohol and drugs, and needed to see a psychologist. His rapist was arrested and sent to prison (which, given the state of prisons in Norway, resembled a five-star hotel for him). Five years later, after a lengthy trial, the Norwegian authorities decided to extradite the migrant to his homeland. For the long-suffering Hauken, this decision was another trauma. In an interview with the Norwegian TV channel NRK, he said that he felt pain and bitterness. “I had a strong feeling of guilt and responsibility. I was the reason that he would not be in Norway anymore, but rather, sent to a dark uncertain future in Somalia.” He also added that “I see him mostly as a product of an unfair world, a product of an upbringing marked by war and despair.”
- In August 2018, a group of American cyclists travelled to Tajikistan. They wanted to prove to themselves and the whole world that evil does not exist, that all people are good, and the stories about Muslim terrorists are only a scarecrow for stupid children. They were riding bicycles when a car crashed into them at full speed. Later, people shouting “Allahu akbar” murdered those who had survived the crash.
- In December 2018, jihadis in Burkina Faso captured 37-year-old Canadian Edith Blais and her Italian companion Luca Tacchetto while they were touring the region. They were held in the desert in northern Mali for 15 months before fleeing one night on foot. But …she justified her abductors. “They don’t have anything, they’re very poor and they don’t understand they’re doing wrong,” she said.
- In February 2020, mights subjected an 18-year-old Swedish teen to heinous bullying. Among other things, they urinated on his face and forced him to open his mouth while doing so. But according to Mikael Damberg, Sweden’s Social Democratic Minister of the Interior, the young migrants did so “because they feel hopeless and like they do not belong in society.”
- After the massacre in Würzburg in June 2021, in which a Somali man who was screaming “Allahu akbar” murdered three women in a shop and seriously injured five others, including an eleven-year-old girl, Würzburg’s mayor Christian Schuchardt (Christian Social Union, CSU) said that “the Somali community is now deeply insecure.” “How would you feel as a foreigner in our city?,” he asked.
- On December 31, 2024, Imogen, a 19-old Briton, became victim of the mass sexual assault attack at Piazza del Duomo, Milan, when she brought in the new year with friends. According to the Italian news agency ANSA, the men were identified as young North Africans. Eyewitnesses reported that they were carrying Palestinian flags. Imogen didn’t let them be disparaged. “It is a total, blatant lie, to claim that our group were attacked by men holding Palestinian flags,” Imogen insisted.
- In October 2025, a Malian migrant raped Izaro, a young woman from Bilbao (Spain). After she shared her story publicly, the conservative party Vox wrote on X: “This is how these scoundrels operate.… We urgently need to close borders, even more so to eradicate this irrational do-gooderism. A firm hand, or the system will never work.” Rather than directing her criticism toward the left’s facilitating the mass arrival of criminals, Izaro took aim at the Vox party, and blamed it for spreading “racist junk propaganda.”
This is not an exception to the rule; it is already the norm. Many on social media are sarcastically asking whether countless “woke” people who stand for a “Free Palestine” know what would await them if they found themselves in Gaza. I’m convinced they do. They know, and they’re ready to sacrifice themselves. Because this is a new quasi-religion that demands voluntary human sacrifices in the name of “universal progress and justice.”
The social experiment was a success. Mice save cats; hares defend foxes; sheep help wolves. Cicero would certainly have been quite astonished to encounter such a phenomenon. |
