Of Outremer

 "Grow Up, or Die."

St. Michael and fallen angels Rubens, 17th century.

Can we all agree that both sides in the Israeli-Palestinian fight are disgusting at this point?

The world is sick to death of watching two Nationalist countries endlessly butcher one another because they both want the same thing: the utter removal of their opposition and their own suzerainty. Sick of watching it spill over into other regions. Sick of the back-stabbing and double-talk of both groups. The conflict on the ground has utterly coalesced into a Race War with both side unquestioningly viewing the other as the enemy. To both groups anything goes if it furthers "the Cause of Our People."

Internationally it's even more abhorrent. Don't be fooled, dear reader; geopolitics has become a soulless and dog-eat-dog thing (if it wasn't always). There is no understanding between those parties in contest. There is no meaningful code of conduct. The nations who back the Israelis or the Palestinians could care less about Jews or Arabs; it's all a bunch of talk. It could be between Heffelumps and Woozles for all they care. The point is that back door deals have been made where each side or the other has agreed to certain things in exchange for other things. That is all that governs the decision-making for most of the superpowers involved. They don't care which side has committed how many atrocities. What matters if if it was caught on tape and can be used to generate sympathy from you, the presumably gullible public with your idealistic outlook on the world that does not match reality.

Spirit of Europa.

You want a look at a Nationalist world? A Nationalist continent? Take a look at Outremer. That is the future of a Nationalist Europe given time and lack of some foreign enemy to hurl themselves at.

The Middle East is the ultimate case for Supra-National Leadership and Imperialism in the world today. Hundreds of thousands of competing nations who's conflicts regularly become someone else's problem. No side can be trusted to be unbiased in its arbitration, because all have something directly to gain, and no side has any reason to hold onto an agreement that no longer benefits them. There is nothing which unites them in common.

The only faction the NSIR truly cares about now are those Catholic-Christians who have been caught in the middle of this conflict, and the destruction of their holy places. They and others are utterly voiceless in this conflict, and on both sides there have been innocent victims as a consequence of the total war being waged therein. No one side has shown any initiative with caring for them, and why should they according to their own beliefs?

A two-state solution must be reached. Both factions must do homage to a larger, responsible, benign, impartial authority and be left autonomous in their day-to-day operations. "Hate Crimes" must be utterly abolished in any sense of a legal definition. A crime is a crime and all are equal in their status under Imperium as citizens. There will be no deference for anyone. Any attempt at Nationalist Uprising will be met with a reckoning not seen since Titus' sack of Rome.
