In a tragically ironic twist, what was meant to be a peaceful celebration at Bond-eye Beach on the first night of Hanukkah turned into a night of horror. Fifteen innocent lives were lost, and the shadow of terror loomed large over a gathering meant to radiate hope and joy. The perpetrators were known to authorities, yet action was absent. Why? Because the Australian officials were too entangled in their own "compassionate" narrative, too preoccupied with the phantasm of "Islamophobia," neglecting the crucial vetting of incoming refugees. This is what some call "suicidal empathy".
- A terrorist attack in Australia underscores the dangers of unvetted immigration.
- New York City's mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani, stirs controversy by refusing to denounce Hamas.
- The Democratic Party faces internal strife over pro-Palestinian versus pro-Israeli stances.
The carnage in Sydney isn't an isolated incident—it's a wake-up call, a stark reminder that such threats are not confined by geography. And here in our own backyards, we see the echoes of this tragedy. New York City’s incoming mayor, Zohran Mamdani, a man who notoriously refused to denounce Hamas after the brutal massacre of 1,200 Jews on October 7th, is once again in the spotlight, fumbling for words. In an interview with Martia Kramer on CBS's The Point, just a day after the Sydney attack, Mamdani was confronted with tough questions. His response? A telling silence, an implicit refusal to acknowledge Israel's right to exist as a Jewish nation.
Mamdani's stance comes at a time when Israel is becoming increasingly akin to a Jewish constitutional theocracy, largely due to demographics. Haredi Jews, with their high fertility rates, now make up about half of the student population, a significant rise from the 1950s. This demographic shift is steering Israel towards a more conservative future, a direction Mamdani clearly opposes. His views are fueling a civil war within the Democratic Party, pitting the pro-Palestinian progressive wing against the pro-Israeli liberal faction. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a traditionally liberal organization, has taken the unprecedented step of launching a "Mamdani Monitor" to track antisemitism concerns under his administration. The irony here is palpable—the ADL is a staunchly pro-Israel body now clashing with elements of its own political camp. If you think New York City is united behind Mamdani, think again. He fractured the left, revealing a 60/40 split among New York Democrats, with a significant portion wanting nothing to do with him. Mamdani's worldview, deeply rooted in his affiliation with the Democratic Socialists of America, is one that refuses to denounce slogans like "Globalize the Intifada," a sentiment disturbingly echoed in Sydney's tragedy. This is the danger of "suicidal empathy," as coined by evolutionary psychologist Gad Saad. It’s a pathological compassion that prioritizes the feelings of perceived victim groups over a society's survival, ultimately inviting threats it should repel. Political liberalism, with its transnational ideals and penchant for victimhood, often ends up sympathizing with elements that seek its downfall. We see this in the contradictions within liberal coalitions, such as in Hamtramck, Michigan, where an all-Muslim city council banned the LGBT pride flag from city property. This highlights the inherent instability in such alliances, where shared victimhood crumbles once power dynamics shift. Liberalism's self-destructive tendencies are exacerbated when it holds sway over a nation or city. Yet, there is a rising tide of resistance. Across the West, people are reclaiming their cultural identities and rejecting the suicidal empathy of the modern left. This is the essence of the MAGA movement, the reason behind the political shift in Chile, and the broader turn to the right in the Western Hemisphere. Until the pendulum fully swings, let this serve as a clarion call: our liberal elites are compromising our legacy. It's time the people declare: Enough!
