“A Sick, Sick West — And An Even Sicker Middle East.”

“A sick, sick West — and an even sicker Middle East.”

Good work here from Victor Davis Hanson: Israel dominates the daily news in this 2026 midterm election year — almost always in a boring, fatiguing, negative light. Tens of thousands of innocents may be slaughtered, ethnically cleansed, butchered, and tortured by the world’s dictators, yet an overwhelming and obsessive abhorrence is reserved for tiny, democratic Israel. Such perverse asymmetry is strange, since, at least privately, most Americans would concede that of the 18 Middle Eastern nations, only Israel is a genuine consensual democracy…. hatred of Jews and Israel peaked immediately after the greatest single-day slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust — weeks before Israel entered Gaza, and only after Hamas refused to surrender the masterminds of the slaughter or the 251 hostages. The Jewish crime, apparently, was being so easily murdered by Hamas. The clearest sign of that Pavlovian hatred was the jubilation on the far Left and among Islamists — and the strange new alliance these seemingly disparate groups were already forming — over the ease with which so many mostly unarmed Jewish civilians had been butchered and the prospect of even more killing to follow. The ghoulish celebrants were not concerned about mass murder, torture, or mutilation of the women, children, and elderly. Instead, they grew ecstatic at the prospect of still more medievalism and blood to come…. Hating Israel while championing Hamas and its thousands of terrorist killers is a referendum not on Israel and its supporters, but a window into the mind of a sick, sick West — and an even sicker Middle East (Townhall).
