Daniel Greenfield makes a vital point why continued appeasement of jihadism is only leading to more disasters around the globe:

The hijacking by a Marxist-Islamist group backed by the USSR and trained by its proxies in Egypt and Syria, spurred a new wave of Cuba hijackings by leftist sympathizers in the U.S, who had been briefly active earlier in the decade but whose attacks had fallen off, by the PFLP, by the North Koreans, the Japanese Red Army, Pakistanis and other members of the Red-Green Alliance. What had been the behavior of the occasional madman became a wave of terrorism.

The copycat leftist terrorists include a Black Panther who hijacked a TWA flight out of Oakland after murdering a police lieutenant and was able to live out the rest of his life in Cuba.

When PFLP terrorists were arrested, their allies attacked other airplanes, took more hostages and traded them for the hijackers. Governments that had formerly condemned the attacks, negotiated, made deals and paid out millions, freeing and financing the terrorists attacking them.

When Israel struck back at the states harboring the hijackers, it was condemned by the UN in resolutions like Resolution 262 while the State Department warned Israel that “we simply cannot have this kind of violence in the Near East.” Not by the terrorists hijacking Americans. By Israel.

On September 9, 1970, the PFLP hijacked four planes headed for New York City in the largest airplane hijacking campaign of the time that would prefigure and inspire September 11.

Four years later, PLO terror boss Yasser Arafat was invited to address the United Nations.

9/11 in turn inspired its own wave of imitators, with the 7/7 attacks in the UK, and other bombings across Europe, but despite fears at the time, major attacks failed to materialize. Why?

Large scale plots like 9/11 were difficult, expensive and all too prone to failure. And they offered little reward because the mass murder of 3,000 people did not provide any gains for the terrorists. Al Qaeda temporarily lost its base in Afghanistan (until the recent withdrawal) and the Jihadist movement became fractured into rival factions like ISIS focused on more local terror.

Had we responded to 9/11 by allowing Al Qaeda to take over Saudi Arabia, there would have been far more major terror attacks afterward. But instead we pounded the terror group and it picked up little to no sympathy outside the Muslim world. As a strategy, 9/11 had failed.

The same cannot be said of Oct 7.

“The powerful blow that was delivered to Israel on October 7 has yielded three very important historic achievements. First of all, it brought the Palestinian cause back. Why are all these countries recognizing Palestine now? Had any country dared to recognize the state of Palestine, prior to October 7?” Hamas leader Ghazi Hammad bragged in August.

After the latest push to recognize the terrorist state at the UN, Hamad again took credit. ”what is the benefit of October 7th? If you look at the UN General Assembly yesterday… they condemned Israel.”

What comes next?

As is warned, it's entirely possible that yet another severe terrorist attack could occur in Europe, all because of politicians who don't give a damn about the catastrophe they're leading to. And this time, unlike before, it could be absolutely horrifying.

Update: in related news, Dearborn's Muslim enclave held a memorial for a Hezbollah terrorist:

A Dearborn, Michigan, Islamic institute hosted a memorial marking one year since Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah’s death, praising the U.S.-designated terror leader’s “bravery,” featuring tributes to Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and telling attendees the Iranian ruler is “our leader.”

Held this past Friday at the Hadi Youth Community Center, the event marked the one-year anniversary of what organizers called Nasrallah’s “martyrdom” and drew attendees, including parents with young children. Hezbollah is designated by the U.S. State Department as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

Usama Abdulghani, described by the group as the Hadi Institute’s “spiritual leader” and linked to the affiliated K-5 Hadi Montessori School, addressed the audience beside a framed portrait of Nasrallah during a livestreamed program. “This is an occasion that many of us probably never thought we would live to see,” he said, repeatedly using the honorific “Seyyed.” “We never imagined that our Seyyed would be martyred in our lifetime, and that one year would have passed since his martyrdom.”

[...] In April, a viral video from Dearborn, home to a large Muslim population, captured protesters chanting “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” during an International Al-Quds Day rally, drawing national attention and prompting renewed scrutiny of such events in the United States.

This is the disaster that's growing on the USA's soil. What can be done to make it stop?
