HISTORICISM is the latest weapon employed by the Arabs/Muslims and their leftist cohorts. Both feed off of each other, even though for wildly diverging reasons. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. BOTH seek to decapitate America and Israel. There is no prettied way to state this.
As a matter of record, western academia bears the onus, as it is replete with “historical” fabrications, so much so that western civilization is no longer recognizable. Bear witness to their wreckage:
Generations of Americans – and others in the west – have been co-opted/corrupted through the (mis)education process.
IF one is a cultural relativist, aka die-hard leftist, then the fruits of academia’s (mis)labors have borne major bounty. But for those who treasure western civilization’s linchpin – Judeo-Christian moorings – then the devastation wrought is incalculable. Its havoc can be seen all over the west (and most trenchantly) in the disgraced halls of American/western academia.
NO one tells the ugly tale better than this blogger’s associate, Professor Paul Eidelberg.
‘Toward a Revolution in Education’
The Age of Enlightenment, which peaked in the eighteenth century, was very much a struggle against the corruption that had occurred in the Church of Rome. This corruption facilitated the atheism that permeated the Age of Enlightenment.
What has taken the place of that clerical-dominated Church in the twentieth century is the secular-dominated University, the seed bed of multicultural moral relativism.
The greatest enemy of Judeo-Christian America is not Islam so much as the atheism and nihilism generated by the University-bred doctrines of historicism and positivism. These two doctrines are the primary sources of moral and cultural relativism—and note well that these doctrines flourish in Normless as opposed to Normative Democracy.
Relativism, as I have repeatedly shown and documented during the past four decades, has emasculated the United States. It has also enfeebled the Government of Israel. More than Saudi oil, than any other single factor, Moral Relativism has made the United States a patron of terrorism. Has not the United States Congress, at the behest of a series of Presidents, appropriated and dispensed yearly grants of hundreds of millions of dollars to the Palestine Liberation Organization (the PLO), a consortium of terrorist groups committed to Israel’s destruction?
The same academic relativism has induced Israel’s government to appease the PLO and even endorse a PLO state in Israel’s heartland.
Notice, moreover, the media’s condemnation of Israel in its current war of self-defense against terrorist controlled Gaza. This grotesque Israel-bashing is a direct consequence of the moral relativism (or “moral reversal”) that animates college-educated journalists whose corrupted minds cannot recognize and face EVIL: the evil of Hamas, of Fatah, and yes, of ISLAM, whose leaders vow to wipe Israel off the map and who gleefully scream “Death to America”!
There can be no genuine peace with any Islamic political entity for the simple reason that Islam’s hatred of “infidels|” is rooted in Islamic theology, in its Jihadic scriptures, which provide a religious veneer for despots and despotism.
Surely 1,400 years of Islamic tyranny and 250 million Christian, Jewish, Zoroastrian, Buddhist, and Hindu victims of Islamic imperialism should be enough to convince any uncorrupted human being — and you will find some among former Muslims– that this bellicose ideology is a brutal form of paganism adorned in a fabricated monotheism whose deity is not bound by reason and justice–for that would impose limits on Allah’s absolute power.
But it’s not Islamic absolutism so much as democratic moral relativism that needs to be overcome to overcome Islam. This will require an intellectual revolution in Western academia. No, I am not calling for an academic Inquisition ala Joseph McCarthy. What is needed is the creation of alternative institutions of higher education—institutions that do not crush students with thousands of dollars of debts and years of dependency.
The revolution needed is in the social sciences and humanities where relativism flourishes. There are wealthy people capable of understanding the basic causes of Europe’s moral decline and now America’s. These people need to be galvanized to support the development or reconstruction of colleges and universities that do not emasculate youth by indoctrinating them with moral and cultural relativism.
America’s colonial colleges–suffice to mention only those now called Princeton, Columbia, and Harvard–produced America’s greatest statesmen: Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Adams. There was no moral relativism among these classically educated philosophic statesmen. How could there be given a living Declaration of Independence that refers to “the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God,” the ultimate source of our unalienable rights to “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness”?
Alas, during the past one hundred years, moral relativism has dominated American colleges and universities, has trashed the Declaration of Independence, and what Lincoln called our “ancient faith.”
In fact, many colleges and universities professors are now preaching anti-Americanism—and this, by the way, is why we have a “post-American” President in the White House!
And so it will be in the future if 40 to 50 million voters are dependent on government — unless alternative or reconstructed educational institutions are established, institutions that restore the creativity of American Exceptionalism and produce a new generation of philosophic statesmen.”
NOW that the academic record is straight, let us connect their corrupt, anti-historical, fallacious, mendacious fabrications, those which serve to act as a dagger into the heart of Israel. Yes, like Superman, anti-historical lies leap tall buildings and even swim across oceans to other parts of the world! Magic-like.
And, while the collusion between the left and their Islamic helpmates is a done deal, one would be woefully remiss in not dragging Israel’s leaders to the woodshed.
How many are aware that there is a huge diff between “normless” democracy vs “normative” democracy: the left’s western weapon ala (im)moral relativism. It is Israel’s Achilles heel too.
It is this flight from fancy, the extremely humiliating, debasing “please, please like/accept me “ beggar mentality which stifles many prominent Jewish Israelis and their diaspora counterparts – who know better – from shouting the historical truth(s) from the rooftops. Disgracefully, they live in abject in fear of being relegated to the so-called international dog house and to the outer fringes of “police-thought”, PC held captive society. Pish posh. Crybabies.
Pray tell, how well is their neurotic and delusional tactics working out for Israel’s “leading lights”? Besides, regardless of all their appeasement – and some might suggest, it is due to their self debasement – Israel is condemned even further, just for daring to hold onto to the thousands year old Jewish homeland! Yes, appeasement is a bottomless pit. And, let’s be done with it, we need to buy them a collective (psychiatric) couch! Calling…Dr. Kenneth Levin!
Let’s proceed, once again, to expose the “Palestinian” myth.
WHILE the above video is more than edifying, surely additional proofs, straight out of the horse’s mouth, can’t hurt:
- The illusory “peace” between the Arab states and Israel is described within this straight shooting video clip: Dr. Mordechai Kedar pierces through the veil:

It goes without saying, those who identity as “Palestinian”, whether living inside Israel or outside its defined borders, are a clear and present danger. Consider, and the following is HARDLY an anomaly but rather (terror) “business as usual”:East Jerusalem man planned to blow up homes in capital as revenge against Jews!
And, yes, the PA lying myth, their so called narrative, is a lie of historical proportions. But it takes men with chests, and women of equal valor, to set the historical record straight. It doesn’t happen in a vacuum.
Tragically, FEW and far between.
