So why stand with Israel and against the Palestinian position of destruction? I thought it was interesting in my neighborhood this morning to drive by a home with a flag of the Palestinians in the front yard blowing along proudly in the breeze. They also had a sign for Julie Shaffer, the liberal school board member on the corrupt Lakota school board. Why did those things go together? Because they do, and why should people have an opinion on the matter even though it’s a conflict on the other side of the world? Well, the first thing I would say is that we are primarily lucky to have been born in the United States, those reading this. If you have traveled any of the world, it is not as nice of a place to live. I have been to quite a few places worldwide, and there is never a better moment than landing back in America. I did this recently late on a Saturday night. It was just me traveling on that trip so I was alone with my car, which needed gas. It had been over a week since I had my favorite drink in the world, a Mello Yello, so I stopped at one of the gas stations across the highway from CVG airport for both things. There was a Mexican attendant who was blaring country music and watching some Latino talk show on his computer who was the attendant and it was just us late at night. The world was pretty quiet, and I felt fortunate to call America home from where I had been to where I was. And that happens to me every time I travel, even to places like Paris and London. No matter where in the civilized world or the primitive, there is no place like home, truly.
One of the reasons I like the Bible so much is that it has very clear standards. It’s not just religious utterances, but it has a story about the progress of the necessity for cleanliness and has an overall decision about the state of nature as a whole. Yahweh is my kind of God. For people who know me, and this goes back a very long time, to when I was a little kid, well before my first conscious Bible school studies, which I did have through the 8th grade, I don’t like human stuff. I don’t like belching, farting, or any references to animal traits. When I drink from a class, I do not let the part of the liquid that touches my lips run down the glass. I wipe it away. In short, I am a very clean person. I don’t like bad breath. I don’t like unshowered people. I don’t like hairy armpits on women. I don’t like sloppy men with fat stomachs. I like to see humans maintain themselves and live at a level above nature. And to show dominion over it. The Bible tells the story of a chosen people who were supposed to live an elevated existence and step above the level of gutter rats. I do judge others and judge often, and I am very proud of it. I have compassion for people like that guy at the gas station who are reaching for the American dream but weren’t born into it. I was lucky enough to be born an American. I love to see people working to be more Western in their lives, and I will always show them the way. But I am much more judgmental of human behavior than even Yahweh. I love civilization and excellence and am always reaching for personal betterment. But I detest humans who do not go for the stars and surrender to their animal instincts. I despise them, honestly.
The history of Israel was an intentional injection of a regional problem where the Palestinians, in the form of the Canaanites, in the region where Israel is now, were child-sacrificing barbarians worshipping ancient gods that demanded blood, a lot of it. They were a superstitious group of people who had been around by the stories of the region for more than 450,000 years, and they were never able to advance as a civilization because of their need to worship such corrupt and flawed personalities in their deities. So along came a god that called himself king of all the pantheon, Yahweh, and gave them the Ten Commandments, which are rules for good living, and the nation of Israel was created. As a result, humanity stepped into a better world, and Western civilization was built. The fight to this day is from the lazy, the vicious, the scandalous, the desire for blood and human sacrifice to prevail in the region as it has for tens of thousands of years, and it shows. When traveling to such places there are many in the world, such as the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip, for instance, where Marxism has been accepted over capitalism, where the drastic differences between the two societies are grossly noticeable. The Palestinians are not a civilized, clean people. They are barely getting along, which is evident by their housing, cars, and youth’s lifestyles. I typically feel sorry for such people, but sympathy goes out the window very quickly when they start belching, farting, and looking like they want to hump the leg of every passerby. They are essentially fighting for the right to be a douchebag, which is the same as saying that they don’t want to advance to the finer things that come from human imagination and expectation.
Always in the background of the indigenous people’s argument, which for the Palestinians is similar to the Indians of North America is the argument that the greedy capitalists have interrupted the previous civilization that was crawling around in the dirt and worshipping nature with human sacrifice. In my view, the invention of competitive cultures that may be better has improved the world everywhere it is utilized and because of that competition, the world is a much better place. Because if left to their own devices, people would continue to get along and feed themselves barely and have a deficient standard of living. So, I view the advent of Israel as extremely good for the region’s people; it has forced them to be better than they otherwise would be. The same with the Indians in North America. The standard of living improved for all people, even them. Playing in the mud, worshiping a bunch of dirty nature gods, and not having a culture driven by quality and science is not a good life. That is the difference between capitalist and Marxist cultures. Or cultures that thrive from biblical context under the laws of Yahweh or those surrendering to an animal condition. The Palestinians are not striving for excellence; they want to live as they did in the brutal past and are fighting for the right to continue those animal-driven lifestyles at the expense of human progress. Which is a horrible idea. Western Civilization was a great invention driven by the Bible, and the world would be much better off if everyone adopted it. But as long as people fight against it, there will be conflict. And in such disputes, the efforts at betterment through Western Civilization is a noticeable improvement over what previously was, in every case.
