When the Face of Horror connects the Dots

The observation being that young males make up a large portion of the refugees leaving the Levant for Europe, the question was asked: why are they not entire families? The basis for the question was that these people should be fleeing a danger that's threatening not only young males but entire families.

That line of questioning was formulated by English speaking Jewish pundits like those populating the North American continent. Their motivation came to light when they expanded on the reasoning they used to connect mysterious dots they saw on a landscape that no one recognized.

In turn, the work of the pundits led them to construct fantastic theories that were in reality, discarded ideas motivated by old prejudices. And their effect has been to lead directly to preconceived conclusions. At the same time, however, the authorities in the countries that received the refugees were gathering the kind of information that gave an accurate picture of what motivated the refugees to leave Syria and seek asylum in Europe.

The receiving countries disclosed to the world that when faced with a looming danger, the young Syrian males had the choice of taking up arms to fight whatever was approaching, or fleeing Syria to go search for a place where they can start a new life. The intent was to settle there first, and then call on the family to join them.

Taking up arms was certain to end in the death of many, whereas fleeing may have been fraught with danger but was offering a chance at success. Some of the young males opted for the adventure of taking up arms, and went to fight at the front. The others opted for the preservation of life, and went looking for a new beginning.

In response to the disclosures made by the receiving countries, the North American Jewish pundits whose faces represent the quintessential look of horror, reconnected the old mysterious dots and came up with a new theory that turned out to be more fantastic than phantasm itself. One of those pundits is Michael Rubin, the chief gatekeeper at the house of horror. He wrote: “Social Welfare Is Killing Refugees,” an article that was published on March 7, 2016 in National Review Online.

He says that “the Syrian refugees … take enormous risks to take refuge in Europe [and] face tragedy in the Aegean Sea, or occupying tent camps along the various European borders aren't actually fleeing war and violence … but because of Europe's social safety net.” He further explains that “the refugees and migrants seek out Europe because of its welfare,” this being a place where “the refugees can get an apartment, food, and health care without having to work”.

So there, you have it, folks. You got it directly from the horse's mouth. He says that the able-bodied young males of Syria are taking advantage of the war that's destroying their country, to leave behind their parents, sisters and younger brothers – not to go find a safe place for them in Europe – but to go live there alone, and receive welfare without having to work. And that, my friend, is what would compel any well adjusted person to ask the question: Who does this Rubin believe the Syrians are? Jewish pundits or something?

In any case, the author ventures to tell how and why he reached that sort of conclusion. First, he says “in both the United States and Europe, the refugee flow is discussed in a humanitarian framework.” Second, he says “activist Manuella Appiah argued that international law requires the West to embrace Syrian refugees.” Third, he says “Pope Francis sought to rationalize the Arab influx into Europe,” Fourth, he says “policymakers, diplomats, and elite journalists preach that the West has a responsibility to shelter refugees”.

With all these people – who clearly were born to be on the wrong side of history – saying what they said; he, Michael Rubin, could not escape the conclusion that to be suspicious of the Syrian young males will put him on the right side of history. And so he decided to be suspicious, and to go from there articulating that point of view.

As to what should preoccupy us, mere mortals; we note that Michael Rubin is a so-called resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. This being the case, we cannot help but pejoratively judge the sort of institution that American Enterprise has become since the time when the Jews completed their takeover of it.
