Thank you. This needed saying first time around and is equally essential now. I hope against hope that I live long enough to see justice meted out to the Zionist butchers, their enablers and their apologists.
Yes, thank you for your writing. I woke up moments ago and read the Yahoo news headline "Hamas wants Gaza to starve!" and gasped. The article, which I clicked on , purportedly was written by someone with an Arabic sounding name. Cue all the commenters who said "finally the Atlantic is reporting something not from Hamas' perspective", "this writer, more credible than most, understands the problem!", "Hamas is stealing the food!!!". It's all the same lies repeated over and over and over by the same mainstream media propaganda meisters. Most people know what's going on by now. I pray we can get out of this. If we do it will be because of people like Prof. Amar.
Respectfully disagree. The Warsaw Uprising was not a “heroic last stand” — it was a calculated mass sacrifice, orchestrated with British approval and Polish exile compliance, to serve several strategic goals:
Discredit the Germans by provoking a predictable massacre that could feed Allied propaganda.
Fuel Polish resentment toward the Soviets, by staging a scenario where the Red Army conveniently “stood by” (after Stalin blocked Allied air support, by the way).
Destroy the young, nationalist Polish intelligentsia, who would have posed a threat to postwar Soviet control. The West knew damn well the Soviets were going to dominate Poland — this way, future resistance was preemptively buried under rubble.
London’s Polish government was used as a puppet. The AK was led into a slaughter they couldn’t win. And both Western and Soviet powers found the outcome… convenient.
Heroic? No. It was a geopolitical cull dressed in patriotic myth. And Poland paid the price — again — for being everyone’s buffer zone and no one’s priority.
