Versailles 2.0: The Palestinian Ludendorff Lie

My reaction to new armistice

"This is not a peace treaty. It is a ceasefire for 25 years."

(Marshal Ferdinand Foch, Supreme Allied Commander during World War I, regarding the Treaty of Versailles)

It was meant to be the war to end all wars. The slaughter in the trenches was immense with 9 million souls having lost their lives over the course of the war. Never again was the motto. Never again was the policy. The League of Nations was birthed on the utopian ideal of world peace and the Western powers felt likewise. They vowed to do all in their power to prevent another lost generation. They sought to prevent ever more young men from losing their lives in the flower of their youth. But alas it was not to be. Germany was sold the Ludendorff lie: that they had been stabbed in the back; that they had never been defeated, that the social democrats had sold them down the river. Upon armistice, the still militaristic German mindset remained and it led slowly but surely to greater terror ahead.

Today, Hamas stand vanquished : their forces mowed down, their leadership in an early grave, their allies diminished beyond measure. Destruction has been wrought on an enormous scale and innocents have been sacrificed on the pyre of their leaders’ fanaticism. Yet from the depths of hell they still claim victory. They claim to be undefeated. They claim to have been stabbed in the back by the Saudis and Emiratis and their Arab brothers. Like Ludendorff before them, they will sell falsehoods to their people and continued militancy, murder and jihad will be the result. In their attempt to ensure that ‘never again’, the international community have unwittingly created Versailles 2.0: The forces of darkness will surely return for one last unthinkable fight to the death.

The international community called for armistice now and so it had to come. They prioritised the temporary end of human misery for the price for its assured recurrence. The Americans and Europeans could have demanded an immediate Hamas surrender; an immediate return of the hostages; but they refused to do so. The war could have ended on October 8th, but the equivocators equivocated. Throughout the entire war, the whole global commentary has been centered on casualty numbers (real or imagined) over grand strategy. The powers that be wanted death to end, so they called for war to end. Ceasefire over surrender. Humanitarianism over real peace. The needs of the moment over the slaughter to come. A huge, inevitable error. Yet without the surrender of Hamas put at front and centre of global demands, they were always always going to live to fight another day, however gingery, however diminished. In this context, Israel had no choice but to agree to this hostage deal and take stock knowing that their “Second World War” is a decade or more around the corner.

We know what will happen next. Palestinian rearmament. Palestinian nationalist militarism. Palestinian violence. International appeasement. Munich. Czechoslovakia. Poland. War. Attempted (real) genocide. And finally genuine surrender. At that moment, when the Ludendorff doctrine has finally expired and Hamas hatred is dead in a bunker, will the Palestinians finally find democracy and freedom in the heart of total defeat. Like the Germans before them, they will look back at their VE-Day as an act of national salvation. But that day will only come to pass after much violence and needless death and so we must wait once more for the Fuhrer. Only then, when Islamism and Arab rejectionism die with him, will all the peoples of the Middle East - Jews and Arabs among them - finally be free.

POSTSCRIPT:

But what is the greatest Ludendorff lie of all? What is the greatest offence that truth seekers have been asked to suffer this last year? It is surely that of “genocide”. A complete fabrication, without a shred of even prima facie evidence, yet spread liberally by NGOs, the United Nations, Amnesty International, Greta, musicians, students and university professors. To those who libelled and slandered the Jewish people, to those who trivialised the memory of the Holocaust: I say this. We will not forgive and we will not forget. Your lie will be condemned by the pure light of history and you will suffer the fate of the damned. The United Nations and its minions are finished, their Big Lie condemning them to eternal hell.

And so to conclude with my favourite quote, from Britain’s most successful left-wing politician, in an era where left-wing stood for decency. In the aftermath of the Suez Crisis, Aneurin Bevan - founder of the UK National Health Service - said the following prescient words:

There is one motto more foolish than "my nation right or wrong": The United Nations right or wrong.
