How Europe failed in its promise to prevent evil ideologies from resurrecting
In conversation with the Post, she recounted a recent press trip to the Gaza border, where she met an IDF soldier whose grandfather was in Auschwitz, whose father fought in the Yom Kippur War, and who himself was now about to fight in Gaza.One of the worst things about the modern indoctrination is that it was doubtlessly planned for decades. And now, it'll be very hard to mend that damage for ages to come.
"I am never again," the soldier told her.
Israel is the one actively fighting a "system of hate which wishes to destroy civilization and culture," Nirenstein said, making her realize that Jews and Israel "are the only ones with the right to say 'never again,' and mean it"
In Europe, in the countries supposed to be the very guardians of these values, "There has been a true failure of the 'never again' promise," she added. One only needs to look at the crowds chanting for an end to democracy, for death to the Jews, for the destruction of Israel from the river to the sea, to see this failure, Nirenstein said.
She stressed that this happened much before the large wave of immigration from Islamic nations to Europe, bringing with it an anti-Western ideology.
The story of the denial of 'never again' began in the USSR, Nirenstein told the Post, which, with its harsh criticism of imperialism and capitalism, generated a self-hate in the West.
"This then became an instrument of power," she added.
"The way the communist building enriched itself was through the establishment of the UN" which she said became the basis of much of the West's self-implosion.
On November 10, 1975, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 3379, declaring Zionism "a form of racism and racial discrimination.”
The UN, as the seeming instrument of democracy, sought to label the Jewish democracy as a racist, colonialist, and imperialist force.
As a result of this, Nirenstein explained, the oppressors were labeled as the oppressed, and the oppressed as the oppressors.
"On Thursday night we saw the aggression of young Muslims in Amsterdam [against Israelis], and the next day, blond youths wearing Keffiyehs were the ones protesting."
"These are the children of the West who think of themselves as the imperialist, racist, oppressors," Nirenstein said. As a way of absolving themselves of guilt, the self-hating Westerners commit a sort of "suicide."
Allying themselves with who they believe to be the oppressed and identifying themselves as the oppressors allows those in the West to feel they have atoned, she said.
"It is the same phenomenon we see in universities, by which Shakespeare is cancelled, Churchill is cancelled, the founders of America: cancelled," Nirenstein adds.
"Here is a huge movement of self-destruction of the West, and in the middle is antisemitism."
This has significant impacts for Israel, which "suffers a strategic blow from this situation," Nirenstein added.
With the hiding of modern antisemitism behind the guise of anti-Zionism, Israel has become demonized and delegitimized.
