The incompetence of adequately protecting us

UAE political strategist Amjad Taha adeptly pointed out why massacres are happening in places like Bondi Beach. Carefully following what led up to that tragic day of December 14th, Taha says that none of this was spontaneous. In fact, “it had been unfolding for two years.”

His explanation begins with “hatred being allowed to circulate and antisemitic riots being treated as expressions rather than warnings.” All the signs were there!  

The fact that no one paid adequate attention to them or saw them as a looming threat, only serves to shine a massive spotlight on the profound level of incompetence which exists, not only in Australia, but throughout the world, failing to take any of this seriously.

Just a few days ago, a shocking clip appeared on All Israel News, highlighting a story reported on Israel’s Kan 11 news. Showing how the security border between Jerusalem and the Palestinian territories is constantly breached, as a result of being unmanned, thousands are able to pour into Israel each day.

While some may do so, with the intention of working for companies who disregard their illegal status, others are slipping in with the goal of executing large-scale terror attacks. 

Where are our political leaders? Where are our security forces? Where are those tasked with job of keeping us safe? Whether here in Israel, Sydney, Australia, a German Christmas market or a New Orleans celebration, the public has virtually become sitting ducks. 

All of these cities, managed by people who refuse to admit that they cannot protect us, much of the time, instead, lull us into a false sense of security that all is under control, when it clearly isn’t! 

But after a steady stream of one bloody attack after another, it’s getting harder for ordinary citizens to actually believe that our authorities are doing the best job possible in order to keep everyone safe, because they certainly aren’t.

In the case of Israel, when many kilometers of the border remain unguarded, making it easy to climb over an inadequate blockade, why should anyone feel that a level of competence is at work, ensuring that residents are protected as they shop during the day or sleep in their beds at night?

Here’s the worst part of it. This is apparently known to everyone who has the heavy responsibility of guarding the population, but it has still been allowed to continue. Whether it’s because there is a realization that it’s simply impossible to secure every inch of the border or there is a shortage of manpower to do so, the results are the same. 

Israel is like the proverbial time bomb, waiting for its next terror attack to occur, killing and maiming as many as possible. Undoubtedly, the usual assortment of news commentators and pundits will take to the airwaves to discuss how all of this could have been avoided. 

Fingers will be pointed at those who took it upon themselves to guarantee our safety but failed to do so. And another inquiry will be demanded in order to meticulously study the measures that need to be enacted to stave off any future repeat attacks.

But while all this is going on, the incompetence of leaders will still sabotage even the best efforts of security experts, because when you allow unvetted individuals to pour into your countries, terror attacks will inevitably follow.

And that is what we are seeing throughout Europe, the U.S. and Australia. Weak political leaders, fearful of being accused of everything from racism to Islamophobia, have felt compelled to open their doors to people, whose incompatible views with Western culture are doing everything to take it down.

That is why we see the U.K. struggling to keep their Union Jack flag flying high, representing the unification of England, Scotland and Ireland under one sovereign monarchy. The British Empire, known for its great strength, resolve and preeminence, has become a mere shadow of those past images.

Now, the flags of Islam are being raised, replacing the others, under the dishonest guise that Muslims, who see British flags, feel vulnerable and threatened as the minority population in an all-white, English-speaking country which insists upon complete patriotism of all who come to live there.   

Well yes, that’s how it works. Newcomers, from foreign lands are not supposed to demand that their way of life, their language, their religion and their flag become the dominant factors, fully adopted by those who were gracious enough to take them in and provide them with the freedoms and opportunity which were missing in their own nations.

But, nonetheless, that is what they are expecting. Complaining about receiving constant death threats, albeit, without accompanying evidence, one young Muslim took to Instagram to complain that he will not respect or honor anything British nor does he have to. 

And while there is no justification for death threats, if, in fact made, it’s not difficult to understand that a hijacked population might resort to such extremes. 

The bottom line is that a raging battle, to take over Western culture, is being waged. It has been a deliberate act, fueled by generational indoctrination of Muslims who fervently believe that Islam must rule all people.

None of this could have happened, though, without the incompetence of leading politicians who promised to protect their citizenry but, in the end, chose not to do so.

It is their own lack of backbone and understanding of the great sacrifices, made by preceding rulers, who fought to the death as a result of their deep convictions of God, country, family and freedom, that have made these present leaders abandon those ideals.

Instead, they are willing to bend over backwards to accommodate ideology which leads to bondage and subservience, all in the name of inclusivity and diversity.

But there’s a price for that kind of pitiful capitulation. It means that a, once sovereign and proud, country must constantly apologize for its character and beliefs. It must make way for another culture to rise while the original one diminishes itself, leaving its native-born citizens to feel unwelcomed in their own home.

Not only that, but the threat of physical attack and outright annihilation is the reality which comes from being replaced by a new population that is not averse to employing violence to achieve whatever it wants.

It’s time we recognize the incompetence of leadership which is not doing its job to keep us safe.
