The Global Intifada is here

No longer dormant, the global intifada has begun to awaken like the sleeping giant that it is.  Most recently, it was in Amsterdam, when Israeli soccer fans were attacked on November 8, 2024 after a match, resulting in El Al planes scurrying to rescue Israelis who came to visit but were suddenly fearful for their lives.

Now, riots, burnings, lootings and physical attacks have taken place throughout Paris, also following the European Champions League Final when PSG (Paris Saint-Germain) football club beat Inter Milan. What took place was described as complete chaos, resembling a war zone.  It is reported that PSG fans turned violent, with cars driving into groups of people, setting fire to cars, throwing bottles at police and targeting shops.

When all was said and done, 559 arrest were made, 2 were left dead and 192 injured.  The chaos not only occurred in Paris but also spread to Lyons and Landes, a town near Bordeaux where a 17-year-old boy was stabbed to death. In Paris, a man was killed on his scooter. Also reported, a policeman who was injured after being accidentally hit by a firecracker in Northwestern France. He still remains in a coma.

These events followed the Hamas green-colored spray painting of three synagogues, a Holocaust Memorial and the vandalism of a kosher restaurant also in Paris, on Friday night, prompting condemnation from government and city officials. Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau posted the following on X, “I am deeply disgusted by these heinous acts targeting the Jewish community.” The city’s mayor, Anne Hidalgo also stated that she “condemned these acts of intimidation” assuring everyone that “Antisemitism has no place in our city or in our Republic.”

But what did these government officials expect after decades of allowing untold numbers of extreme Muslim migration into their country? This is now the new normal throughout Europe where entire neighborhoods have been taken over, only recognizing Sharia Law as the prevailing authority.  

And what connection is there to a sports match and the violent chaos which ensued once the game ended? Even with the deployment of 5,400 police, it wasn’t enough to contain the out-of-control rioting which was everywhere, resulting in “692 fires, including 264 involving vehicles.”

The celebrations of a Paris team winning were conveniently used to create the unrest which quickly spread throughout the city, especially targeting police. This is the seething undercurrent which is coming from one segment of the population, and it can erupt at any time, as we have seen. There is no particular catalyst or instigation for it. The primal response is what emerges whenever it so chooses.

Ironically, France’s President, Emmanuel Macron’s words, “Bravo, we are all proud. Paris is the capital of Europe this evening,” rang hollow, because his country has been overrun by hooligans whose violent outbursts, this one not being the first, have served as a template for other Muslim populations in the European continent to follow the shameful example of what happens when these groups feel empowered to kill, destroy and rob without provocation.  

It can be a game, a parade or any other celebration. Or, it can be a spontaneous occurrence that crosses the line of civilized protest to unfettered anarchy. Will a few thousand policemen be able to stop the hundreds of thousands or even millions of violent Muslims who feel an entitlement and even the right to take over the country which generously welcomed them into their peaceful society? Most definitely, they will end up overtaking law enforcement if they so desire, simply by virtue of their massive numbers. Will Macron still be proud?

Sadly, this festering problem has either been largely ignored or tolerated in the hope that it will not come back to bite the native-born citizens of European countries, but such naïve expectations were nothing more than wishful thinking. For those who mistakenly thought that these groups would only erupt when it involved antisemitism, they are now having to confront the reality of chaos just for the sake of chaos. 

What is being discovered, albeit too late, is that these lovers of Intifadas enjoy and relish the opportunities to flex their lawless turbulence as they get off on wreaking destruction of anything that can be burned to the ground. Theirs is a credo of obliteration, decimation and devastation, and to think differently is to deny what we are seeing before our eyes. It is this spirit of violence which they long to unleash, just for the thrill of it. And that is why they cannot coexist in any normal, sane and peace-loving society, because they are at complete odds with order and calm.

While “Global intifada” has been described as the promotion of worldwide activism in solidarity with the Palestinian resistance, it doesn’t necessarily require a political or social injustice in order to erupt. The terrorism which accompanies these bursts of anarchy is part of the orientation of extreme Islamic ideology. It is a way to show dominance and the threat which all people must fear. 

As more similar outbreaks occur, and that is sure to happen, tourism will begin to take a huge hit, causing economies to suffer, and it’s likely that local authorities will end up being replaced by religious fanatical clerics who will attempt to impose their way of life and beliefs on the entire Western population. The Intifada, of which we dreaded has found a way to attain the pre-eminence to which it aspired. All they had to do was import their own, until the numbers were so significant that they could call the shots.

Today, in the U.K., the mayors of London, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, Latin, Oldham, Oxford, Rochdale, Blackburn, Rochdale are all Muslims. According to a Substack post by W.D. Lady, “this happened as a result of a population of “million Muslims from within a total British population of 66 million There are over 3,000 mosques, over 130 Sharia courts in England and more than 50 Sharia Councils. 78% of Muslim women do not work and receive state report and free accommodation. 63% of Muslims do not work and receive state support and free housing. State supported Muslim families have an average of between 6-8 children who all receive free accommodation. Every school in the U.K. are required to teach about Islam. This is not immigration, this is invasion.”

Simply put, the Global Intifada is here!
