Trump Wins If Biden Remains

 There is an expression that aging is not for the faint of heart. 

Some people age with grace. Others become stubborn and inflexible. 

Everyone knows that Biden has deteriorated. Live long enough and it happens to us all. 

Biden has always been an ambitious man full of his own self importance. That and the ravages of aging that is afflicting him renders him incapable of recognizing his own frailty and limitations, and that the country would be better served by a healthier person to take his place. 

People age differently. Some people in their 80's are sharper and more resilant than Biden. That is no fault of his own. It is problematic when people cannot accept their limitations, and adjust their lives acordingly. Biden is one of them.

What is disgraceful is that the people closest to him know this, but are so greedy for power or something else, that they are unwilling to do the right thing. Not just for Biden himself, but for the whole country and world for that matter. 

The country does best with competing, viable political parties and candidates. The argument that Biden must remain in order for Trump to be defeated not only guarentees that Trump wins, but is the height of selfishness. 

Bernie Sanders comes to mind. Like many leftists, he is concerned about ideology, not human beings.

Biden needs to retire and live out his life in peace. He must not be propped up because some people hate Trump so much they are willing to sacrifice a frail old man that is no longer fit to run even a hotdog stand. 

If Biden remains, Trump wins for sure. Many people that will not vote for Trump will also not vote for a frail old man that is clearly not fit for office.

Weakness And Obsession Behind The Hatred For Jews

 A common thread with Jew haters besides their weak and pathetic need to hate Jews, is their quickness to anger if they get called out on their hate. 

Needing a target to hate, demonize, blame and scapegoat, is an enormous human weakness.

Life is shorter than most people imagine. It is better to do good with the short time that we have, than waste it on the opposite.

The Jew is a diverse but small in number religious and ethnic minority. It would be far better for the world if those that hate Jews expended their energy on something constructive, instead of the destructive force of hate. 

But wishing for that does not make it reality. Good and evil exist. The hatred for Jews is a long standing evil.

What makes the hatred for Jews so virulant is the way hate combines with obession. Rather than find the strength to resist the obsession, the need to hate, far too many people choose instead to indulge in it.

What is even worse is when hate is combined with obsession and cruelty. Then there is no limit to the harm the Jew hater will inflict if given half the chance. 

The October 7 massacre inside of Israel was the latest example.

Do Grievances Justify Murder?

 Do grievances give people the right to murder? 

Does injustice, real or imagined, justify murder?

The war against Israel has long centered on grievances.

Grievances are being used to justify murder, war and terror against the civilian population of Israel.

It keeps the war from ever getting resolved.

The focus on countering the grievances, or explaining how Israelis have legitimate grievances of their own, does not address the fundamental issue underlying all of this.

The focus must stop being on the legitimacy of grievances as reasons to murder. 

Instead, murder must stop being given legitamacy period, no matter the grievance or claim of injustice.

Murder is accepted by many as the legitamite response to grievances when it comes to Israel, and practically nowhere else in the world, in a world full of injustices and grievances, including grievances and injustices experienced by Israelis themselves.

Some will say, the Nakba gives the Arabs called Palestinian the permanent right to murder. 

There have been plenty of Nakbas in this world. 

Besides the fact that if Arab armies did not attack Israel in 1948 and try to destroy Israel, there would have been no exodus of Arabs from Israel.

Far more Jews were driven from their lands all over the middle east and North Africa and forced to flee for their lives to Israel, then the number of Arabs that fled from Israel in 1948 during a time of war. These Jews from the middle and east and Africa form the majority population of Israel.

If grievances are the foundation for murder, then do the Jews have the right to murder people all over the middle east and North Africa? Jewish tribes were slaughtered and driven out from what is now Saudi Arabia in the 7th century. Do Jews have the same right to kill to rectify past injustice and persecution? No.

Jews were driven out and fled from persecution from Iraq, Libya, Syria, Algeria, Iran, Yemen,Egypt, and many more lands across the middle east and North Africa. Do Jews have the right to kill the people in those countries? No. 

Jews were massacred all over British controlled Palestine, including the Hebron massacre of 1929. Do Jews have the right to revenge these past evils and take it out on their descendants? No.

All the people living on lands stolen from native people all over North American, South America, Africa, Australia and elsewhere, screaming for the murder of Jews in their their one small country, because the Jews are wrongly not considered indigenous or there are grievances made against them, do not apply the same standard to themselves.

If native indigenous people started slaughtering nonnative people, applying the same standard used by millions against Israel, that grievances and past injustices, real or imagined, justify murder, then it would mean the slaughter of millions upon millions of these hypocrites.

Not to murder is the most fundamental commandment for all of humanity to live by. Grievances and injustices do not abrogate the most fundamental rule not to murder. 

Without the basic standard of thou shall not murder being applied to all people everywhere, there will be no end to war and misery. 

Hitler showed the world where hate and demonizing leads. He showed what happens when murder is no longer prohibited against certain populations, and is instead allowed and promoted. This includes over 70 million people killed, a holocaust with almost all of Europe's Jews murdered, over 6 million people, millions of survivors permanately wounded and scarred for life, Europe in ruins and more.

Oct 7 happened because there was no prohibition against murder. 

The most fundamental rule by which all of humanity must live must be defended. Grievances and injustices, real or imagined, do not overide the commandment not to murder. This most basic of rules, this most fundamental principle, continues to be disregarded or rejected.

Disobeying Commandment Not To Murder

If humanity followed the one commandment out of the ten that prohibits murder, instead of making all kinds of exception for it, all of the following never would have happened:

There would have been no Armenian genocide. 

There would have been no holocaust.

There would have been no genocide in Cambodia.

There would have been no genocide in Rwanda.

There would have been no genocide in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

There would be no ISIS and genocide against Yiddish and middle east Christians.

There would be no genocide now in Darfur.

There would have been no October 7 slaughter inside of Israel of defenseless people of all ages.

There would not have been, and would not be now, many other wars and massacres not mentioned.

War and murder are not the same. Conflating the two is just another tactic used to defend murder. Murder includes the deliberate killing of another human being that poses no threat to the murderer. 

Murder is the most basic law by which all of humanity must abide. But instead, exceptions are being made, unleashing the darkest of forces upon humanity.

Excusing Murder

 Exceptions made for murdering that have nothing to do with self defense opens the door to unimaginable harm and cruelty. Far too many people believe in these exceptions. 

Here are some of these exceptions:

If you insult our religion, we will murder you.

We will murder you because we think you dishonored us, even if you are a family member.

We will murder you for blasphemy.

We will murder you if we think you insulted our prophet.

We will murder you if you are a homosexual.

We will murder you if you leave the religion.

We will murder you because we believe our grievances give us the right.

We will murder you for apostacy.

We will murder you because we think your parents, grandparents or great grand parents took our land, so we have the permanent right to murder every descendant. 

We will murder anyone that stands in the way of our spreading our religion, politics or beliefs by any means necessary.


Theocracies Are Undermining Free Nations

 The values that enable countries to prosper, free speech, the separation of church and state, freedom and liberty from tyrannical government and theocratic regimes, are not being defended. 

Some argue, what about the wealthy oil rich theocratic regimes? Do they not show that theocratic rule by religion works? They do not. These countries are completely dependent on free, productive and independent nations that buy their oil and subsidize their dysfunction. Take away the oil, and these nation collapse. 

These countries do not innovate. They do not create. Some, like Qatar, export cruelty and bigotry all over the world. Qatar  relies on an imported, exploited labor class of foreign workers. Oil wealth enables Qatar to export its religious intolerance. 

A deadly alliance has now formed between brutal dictatorships and brutal, intolerant religious theocracies, religious fascists and fascists on the left and right, and millions of mostly young, useful idiot supporters in the west. 

Legitimizing Murder

 No matter the many excuses given to justify murder, the fact remains that only the murderer makes the decision to pull the trigger or plunge a knife into a living human. 

If you free the murderer from responsibility, and hold the murderer blameless, the outcome is always horrific.

This is happening now.

This happened before. In Nazi Germany, murder was made legal. History show where that led. Mass murder, a holocaust, Europe destroyed, over 70 million people killed, millions of survivors permanently wounded physically and/or emotionally.

In every genocide before WW 2 and since, the prohibition of murder no longer applying to certain populations gave the world the Armenian genocide, the genocide against Tutsis in Rwanda, the still ongoing genocide in Darfur, genocide against Yazidis, genocide in the Congo region, genocide in Cambodia, the October 7 massacre inside of Israel, and many more genocides and mass murders. 

It does not matter the excuse or justification given to murder. 

Land, resistance, occupation, settlers, colonialists, Zionists, all of these excuses and more given to murder do nothing but open the gates of hell and free the murderers from responsibility and accountability. 

Murdering has many defenders. There they are by the millions, arguing that in the name of honor or political or religious beliefs, exceptions are made so that murder is permissible. 

Murder is always wrong. There are no exceptions. Killing in self defense is not murder. War and the casualties of war are not murder. 

Murder includes the deliberate taking of another person's life that poses no threat.

Its defenders with their multitude of excuses as to why it is okay to murder are unleashing a nightmare far worse than can be imagined.
