Scimitar Hatred, Defense, and Chivalry

As Pam Geller noted at Atlas Shrugs, the pro-Hamas rallies show the distinguishing irrational hatred for Israel - the neighborhood bully, as Bob Dylan rightly observed. The Scimitar ghoulishly parades the dead children of a senior Hamas leader, while the MSM forgets that the raison d'être of the Scimitar, in true model/rival doubling so well explicated by Girard, is the destruction of their seethingly loathed model: the Jewish people and state of Israel.

The fact of the matter is, the Scimitar is and ever has only been an historical johnny-come-lately to the biblical faiths of Judaism and Catholicism, is and ever shall be a model-rival of the same, and constitutes itself over against the biblical faiths of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

As such, it will continue incessantly seeking the destruction and annihilation of the biblical peoples and faith till ... till when?

Israel and the West face a rising sea swell of mimetic rivalry and hatred. From what, or who? The answer is the primitive sacred, in the twin-pincers of neo-paganism, the cancer of a depleted West, and the Scimitar. Therefore, it is crucial to remember that the Catholic faith teaches the need for response. The best of Christendom must be used: measured, proportionate, sometimes regrettable, but always needful legitimate defense and chivalry.
