there is still a disturbing large audience for this delusion as the quarter term elections proved not only in New York and New Jersey which were conventional circumstances but in Virginia, where there were some genuine reforms that will be set back immeasurably, and even some contests in GA, unspecified even in Mississippi, some listen to the Eloi Klaxons that drive them back to the bunker,
some seemingly were asleep like possums with the consequences to their personal safety and liberty on the line,

perhaps the assasination of Charlie Kirk really cause enough of a shock, that the electorate that should have been mobilized, were not, but the possum political class, seem to think there is some accomodation to those who dance out their aggression, those that want affordability and trade it for liberty, will find they get neither,
ironically the former group seems most incensed about heterodox populists, who don’t share a common viewpoint on any issue, but commonalities on some,

they have as much contempt for Farage and Matt Goodwin, as those on this end of the pond have for Trump and Charlie Kirk, they hide it a little better in some respects, but not others,

those of heterodox viewpoints are really not welcomed there, of course they found the Iron Lady intolerably chauvinist and reactionary, like the predecessors at the BBC, there is no redemption of Hail Brittania in their book but Perfidious Albion, the bounced
Oxford Union chair, would loudly assent on that point

yes Times of Israel even the Jerusalem Post, has more than a touch of oikophobia,

I suppose the former is in part due to the great slaughterhouse of the Great War, and to a lesser extent the next one, that wiped out two generations of the best of their fighting men,

the next generation as typified by much of their entertainment on stage screen and film didn’t appreciate the sacrifice, we can take Dennis Potter the band Pink Floyd, as exemplars in this regard, certainly a series like Dr Who held to the old values, and look what it has degenerated into in the last decade

there is a simila pattern in American entertainment say after 1967, when CBS purged their more conventional offerings,

How is this any more relevant than that the Confederacy’s Secretary of War was Jewish, and that a Cherokee was the last Confederate general to surrender?

Stand Waite’s Cherokee identity is quite important, since he was a part of a pro-slavery group of “early self removals” who were one of the early joiners of the Confederacy and who waged brutal war both against their opponents within the Cherokee and traditional tribal enemies, including a horrifying act of genocide that nearly succeeded in exterminating iirc four subtribes of the Creeks and Seminole over the winter of 1861-1862, which has been immortalized as the Trail of Blood on Ice campaign.

Benjamin’s Jewish identity is significantly less important and more useful as an interesting trivia bit, though still somewhat important as both a historic milestone and in how he used every connection he had -including those in the Jewish community – to advance his career, his politics, and ultimately that of the Confederacy. But he was apparently somewhat more tribalistic than devout, and even got into trouble for it.

But in either case, the Confederate cause was utterly crushed in 1865 and while plenty would give lip service and symbolic fealty to it, there was no hope of returning to the slave system after 1865. In contrast the desire to remove the Jews from the Levant is very much alive, and Glubb’s actions helping to exterminate Jews in East Jerusalem and the outlying areas was both a disgusting atrocity in its own right but is also something that is used to try and justify the permanent exclusion of those regions from Israel.

As far as I can tell Glubb himself was not a huge influence on British anti-Zionism and Jew Hatred; he was more downstream of it with major problems emerging earlier among the Foreign Service in London. But he certainly carried out plenty of crimes on behalf of his patrons in both London and Amman.

Glubb also fought the Nazis and Vichy French in WWII.

As well as his future allies in the 1947-9 campaign, the Arab Committee mostly Husseini Clan loyalist paramilitaries that had helped the Nazis and engages in mass murder against Jews, Christians, and opposing Muslims.

Certainly possible he himself was an antisemite, but not seeing how anything in his career can be evidence that the British are disposed to antisemitism any more that Jewish and Cherokee Confederates are evidence that Jews and Cherokee are disposed to be anti-black or anti-Union.

The Arab League conducted a campaign of extermination against the region’s Jews in 1947-9, culminating in the destruction of the Old City of East Jerusalem, killing dozens of thousands, mostly out of combat as civilians in a textbook act of genocide that destroyed the oldest continuous Jewish community on Earth, and were only stopped from doing that more widely by the fact that they could not push further to take West Jerusalem. We see similar dynamics on other fronts like the Sinai.

But what is important in Jerusalem and the outlying areas is Glubb was commander of the Arab Legion with a host of British officers seconded to it. He commanded and helped oversee their role in the cleansing. And apparently there was nothing in his moral compass or that of his sponsors in London that prevented him. To be fair this was after years of bitter guerrilla fighting with Jewish guerrillas and often outright terrorists (but then what is one to say about the Jihadi terrorists that had been a more persistent and bitter opponent who he was fighting alongside?) and I can understand many British coming to thoroughly disdain many Jews. But that’s only defensible up to a certain point.

I don’t think Glubb was a great mover in British Jew Hatred, he was too downstream. And whether or not be personally was a Jew Hater is basically irrelevant in my opinion. What matters is that he was more than willing to cooperate in a campaign of genocide and systemic destruction even after the bitter city fighting was over, alongside hardened Nazi collaborators responsible for things like Hebron and the Baghdad Farhud. But at least as damning was the stance and policies of his superiors, especially in the Attlee Cabinet and the Foreign Service, but also elsewhere.

But as far as I can tell he saw no particular differences between fighting the soldiers of the Vichy French, the Nazis, the Imperial Germans of a previous war, various desert bandits, or even the Jewish paramilitaries, and helping to underwrite and carry out the murder of thousands of Jewish noncombatants and the systematic destruction of their homes even after a given sector of East Jerusalem was secured.

Let it not be said that Germans are the only ones that can “Follow Orders”.

It’s even worse than that. “Glubb Pasha” was essentially military commander of the conventional forces of the Arab League (which admittedly was a minority of the troops, since it was basically just the Transjordanian regulars in the Arab Legion) during the partially successful siege of Jerusalem, which saw the League fail to overrun all of Jerusalem but did see them take East Jerusalem, where they promptly engaged in a campaign of obliteration, razing the Old City of East Jerusalem, killing thousands in genocidal massacres, and ending the oldest continuous Jewish population center on Earth while making Eastern Jerusalem “Judenfrei” for about 20 years. To what little credit I will give he was baffled and vexed by both the strength of Israeli resistance and the problems of urban fighting, and was under orders from the Hashemites and struggling with exerting control over the irregulars that were mostly loyal to al-Husseini and who were virulent. But this only goes so far, and Glubb and his staff would almost certainly have been hanged for what they did if they were held to the same standards as we had done Axis VIPs.

As far as British anti-Zionism, I will make modest defense in that Lehi and the Stern Gang were truly unhinged and murderously terroristic, and they had declared war on the British as far back as 1944 after years of terrorist bombings and killings, while Haganah and the Jewish Authorities later intervened in the war after it became clear the British would not lift the White Paper. I think many of us on the Zionist Right tend to downplay or underestimate how nasty and ugly a lot of the early birth of Israel was. But that only goes so far, especially given how the Jews had many legitimate complaints about what had happened, especially given British appeasement and even enabling of genocidal terrorism from the likes of the Al-Husseinis.

How is this any more relevant than that the Confederacy’s Secretary of War was Jewish, and that a Cherokee was the last Confederate general to surrender?

Glubb also fought the Nazis and Vichy French in WWII. Certainly possible he himself was an antisemite, but not seeing how anything in his career can be evidence that the British are disposed to antisemitism any more that Jewish and Cherokee Confederates are evidence that Jews and Cherokee are disposed to be anti-black or anti-Union.

But he does a lot of good, too, stuff previouus GOP preisdents just refused to do. The good mostly far outweighs the bad.
