print“Where Are The Men? Military Action Against Israel. NOW!” is a new essay now on The Unz Review, home to dissidents from day one.
The core ideas were fleshed-out previously with greater geopolitical depth in a lengthy, January 2025 essay, “BRICS And Pan-Arabism Revived To Tackle Israel, Militarily.“
Excerpt:
… Libertarians worth their salt will apply to the collective the same moral code applied to the individual. If a lone serial killer and home invader must not be left to continue on his merry spree of murder and theft; neither may a band of killers armed with WMD do the same. If a lone serial killer ought to be hunted down by good men and women, cuffed, incarcerated and tried; so too must a gang engaged in high-tech, AI-assisted mass murder. That is the simple meaning and application of the libertarian axiom of non-aggression in a world in which defense is not privately produced.
Curiously—and considering the centrality of a values-based pretense in U.S. foreign policy, of good-vs-evil—if ever a clear, moral case for American military intervention presented itself; it is on the side of the civilians of Gaza as against the Israelis, who are armed with Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD).
This must lead to an inescapable conclusion:
Since the United States of America is not a “global force for good,” it remains for the locals to do the job. A large-scale regional military intervention must be mounted post haste, for there is an affirmative, not a passive, obligation to stop Israel. The world, with some heroic exceptions, has so far breached that legal and moral obligation. …
…
…As that most American of crime writers, Raimond Chandler, counselled, “It never pays to let the enemy make all the rules.” And Israel is the enemy, the enemy of humanity.
Similar counsel comes from a recently released, elderly, pro-Palestinian resistance fighter, who spent four decades in a French prison. Described in the French press as a “Lebanese leftist militant imprisoned in France since 1984,” Georges Ibrahim Abdallah remains a masculine force at full tilt.
Abdallah arrived in Lebanon on July the 25th. A large gaggle of press and supporters eddied around him. He told them, “If one million Egyptians try to break the siege on Gaza, the genocide would end.”
Abdallah deferred to lionheart Greta Thunberg as an example of courage: The Swedish young woman had sailed forth in international waters intending to reach the riparian territory of the people of Gaza. For wishing to administer kindness—to slake the thirst and assuage the hunger of some Palestinians—and to galvanize on behalf of Gaza; Israeli terrorists kidnapped Freedom Flotilla activists and forced them into their own benighted country.
Piracy on the high seas. What should have been a safe, peaceful voyage was terminated by pirates, perpetrators of genocide. Does Israel now rule the high seas as well?
I might have misunderstood Mr. Abdallah, but by praising a wee girl for her bravery he seemed to be asking, where are the men?
