The latest essay by our Israeli correspondent MC concerns the perversion of Judaic and Christian ethics into Multiculturalism, the ideological plague of the 21st century.

Are ethics a luxury we can no longer afford?

by MC

We are being crucified by our own bent ethics, the corrupted, mostly Christian ethic that says we must let our neighbor trample all over us. We not only have to love our neighbor as ourselves but we now have to let him have our family, our money and our land. This really is not what the author intended.

First, who is my neighbour? As asked the Pharisees, and in the parable that followed it was the despised Samaritan who paid the price of redemption.

Would I treat myself as the Muslims treat me? Would I fire missiles filled with nails and rat poison back at them? — Don’t answer that!

There is a deep, deep folly in one-sided ethics. To be of any use, ethics must be shared. in asymmetric warfare, by definition, they are not.

Malformed or distorted ethics render us all open to ethical blackmail by those with an agenda of envy or conquest. Our greatest vulnerability has become our obsession with virtue signaling our righteousness in the areas of ‘racism’ and ‘equality’. we must surrender our ‘white’ western values in order to tell the rest world that we too are brown, cuddly and accepting of their love.

And the rest of the world spits in our faces and holds out their hands for our hard-earned handouts.

Our society built its ethics around a Judaeo-Christian tradition, but what happens when we come in close contact with peoples whose ethical values are totally at odds with our own? Multiculturalism says that we must value those perverted ethics over and above those of our own, so when Palestinian terrorist stabs an IDF soldier with the intent of murdering him, has he, or has he not rendered himself expired? At what point does he cease to be a terrorist (an animal with no morality) and revert to being ‘human’?

The foreign terrorist yells out that his god is greater because his god has ordained this execution of an infidel by the terrorist’s hand. His ethics, but when he is in my country, whose ethical values apply? His law says that he is allowed to stab the soldier, not only allowed, but commanded so, it is an act to be rewarded in jannah with passels of delicious sex slaves both male and female.

Islam, in its house of peace, pretends to have a miasma of ethics, just a whiff, just enough to convince our leaders of their best intentions, but they lie, and there are no ethics at all in the house of war, just delusion and deceit.

The West supposedly gave up on group punishment decades ago — well, except for non-victim groups, that is. Each individual in a victim group is cushioned from reality, swaddled in cotton wool, innocent until proven guilty. In this state the law cannot protect us from Islam. There is no justice where there is no code of ethics upon which judgement can be based, and when the terrorist is protected by law both before and after the act of terrorism, then the terrorist will always get through.

But wait — Where is ethical value, when the ends justify the means? And we are losing the battles, too, because of secularism. The secularist code of conduct is ill-defined to the extent that each individual constructs (and occasionally deconstructs) her own ethical code, and then expects others to conform. The problems come when this personal ethical code conflicts with the law of the land. When the President signs an executive order into place which is correct according to his ethical values (if any), but conflicts with the established laws of the land, what happens? Theoretically, he should called to account by Congress, according to congressional ethics, etc. But what if the congressional code of ethics is similarly compromised? Nothing?

These ethical battles are out in the open as never before, but the failure of the mainstream media to hold any ethical stance makes the issues obscure.

So we continue the march towards socialism/communism and yet another failed civilization.

It becomes a race: Will the Internet bring back the code of ethics before the ethic-less thugs manage to close it down? The Internet is the lifeline of truth (and lies), and there is a battle raging to intimidate and close down free speech, and thus truth.

Trying to fight an ethical war against those with no ethics is a futile exercise. The enemy can pound the civilian population unfettered by any human concern, but constantly point the finger at any retaliation by the victim and describe any and all defensive actions as ‘disproportionate’. Or they can hide behind children, the sick and the elderly and then cry crocodile tears when their actions cause injuries.

Even more stupid, of course, are those who fail to hear through the curtain of ethical dissonance and see past the smoke of taqiyya. Then there are also those for whom that smoke is just a projection screen for their own malevolent and vitriolic hatreds and associated vile bigotries. Or maybe just their plain greed.

The enemy can claim to be a religion of ‘peace’ and shout ‘Islamophobia’ when anybody contradicts them, but it is always valid to ask them to explain to us poor confused conservatives why the vast proportion of terrorists proclaim their god as the greater? Or is it that we are neither poor, confused or phobic, maybe we are quite rationally horrified and revolted?

Personally, I think that we need to rethink the outcomes of WW2, we need to look at the Nazi that pretended to lie down and die, only to crawl away from the killing field and change his spots for stripes. The leopard evolves into a snake.

We thought we had killed the Nazi animal, when all we did was to absorb it into our midst, we fed it and nurtured it as a ‘refugee’, not recognizing it in its new skin. As we cared for it, it constantly reminded us of that ‘racist’ Holocaust and our failure to prevent it; all the time grinning at our stupid gullibility. Then when we had fully bared our breast, it struck.

My code of ethics says “thou shalt not murder”, but this does not mean that I am not allowed to defend myself against one who believes that I am already condemned. Except, that is, when the ethic is mistranslated into “thou shalt not kill”. I am then a victim of a rotten and fatal ethic. Am I allowed to temporarily suspend that corrupt ethical code and pre-emptively shoot my attacker before he stabs me? I may be a pig or an ape, but that being so, it is no good waiting for the snake to bite me first. But which snake, the one with no ethic at all, or the one that is out to corrupt the ethic that made me what I am?

Where have you been all day Henry My son

Where have you been all day my pretty one

In the woods, in the woods

Oh mother do be quick, ’cos I’m feeling very sick and I want to lay down and die What did you in those woods Henry my son

What did you in those woods my pretty one

Played dear mother, played dear mother

Oh mother do be quick, ’cos I’m feeling very sick and I want to lay down and die With what did you play all day Henry my son

With what did you play all day my pretty one

Worms dear mother, worms dear mother

Oh mother do be quick, ’cos I’m feeling very sick and I want to lay down and die What colour were those worms Henry my son

What colour were those worms my pretty one

Green and yellow, green and yellow

Oh mother do be quick, ’cos I’m feeling very sick and I want to lay down and die What colour flowers d’you want Henry my son

What colour flowers d’you want my pretty one

Green and yellow, green and yellow. (English folk song, sung as a dirge)
