The UN and European institutions are its enablers.

So-called intellectuals who have swallowed Arafat’s bait, hook, line and sinker, are the War’s agents.

Analysts have compared the Oct. 7 massacre to the 1973 Yom Kippur war, a massive failure of Israeli intelligence to read its enemies’ intentions and capabilities.

But the more relevant historical date is Sept. 5, 1972, when Palestinian terrorists raided the dormitories housing the Israeli Olympic team at the Munich games.

The Palestinians held 11 Israeli coaches and athletes hostage, then tortured and killed them, and mutilated their corpses.

After being forced to relocate to Lebanon, Arafat saw that the only way to break out of a doomed cycle of local conflicts was to internationalize his war and turn Palestine into a global cause.

Europe was tested.

Munich and its aftermath showed that even before a single generation had passed, their vows were hollow, their honour a fraud.

You could kill Jews in a live broadcast to hundreds of millions of people, and the great men of Europe would arrange the assassins’ passage to safety.

By promoting the Palestinians’ cause, the Europeans joined them in creating the prototype of “Third World man.”

The collaboration served the narcissism of Western elites, and the political ambitions of the Western-educated elites of the decolonized world who weaponized their resentment to extract money and arms from their onetime overlords.

A century removed from the apex of their strength, and their will to defend a civilization built by better men long depleted. Western elites’ self-image is sustained by Third World man.

By attributing to Westerners’ responsibility for his suffering. Third World man fathoms the reservoir of their once formidable power and hints they may again someday be replenished.

Accordingly, the Soviets used the Palestinians for the same reason street gangs employ children to commit felonies: Western elites do not punish those who commit crimes for which they blame themselves.

Despite being responsible for numerous losses of life in subsequent terrorist attacks, Arafat was welcome in New York when he carried a gun to the U.N. and threatened more war unless the world appeased his band of stateless brigands.

The august body recognized the PLO as the sole representative of the Palestinians as well as their right to self- determination, national independence, and sovereignty in Palestine.

The Palestinians had won entry into the community of nations by killing Jews.

A year later, the Europeans again rewarded the Palestinians for unburdening them of their guilt when the U.N. General Assembly passed Resolution 3379, designating Zionism as a form of racism.

Among all the world’s national independence movements, the nationalism advocated by the survivors of the Holocaust was uniquely racist.

It seemed that the U.N.’s only purpose was to consecrate Third World man and condemn the Jews.

Thanks to Arafat, the world had turned reason on its head and accepted the Palestinian strategy.

Then the War in Gaza had its horrific catalyst.
