BEING ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE PEOPLE

Like being on the wrong side of history......

Strange!

Think about it.

When do you know you're on the wrong side of history?

Does it take 5 years, 20 years, 100, 150, 200, 300, 500, 1,000, 2,000?

How many years does it take to know you were on the wrong side of history?

History, after all, has no end............"

 

Who, for example, in their right mind, in the history of Europe from, say, the end of Rome until 1917, would ever have dreamed, or imagined, or hoped, even, or dreaded, that a new State of Israel would ever manage to emerge, from the oblivion into which Rome had originally consigned it?

 

Rome's judgment, in 70 71 AD, or so, and again shortly thereafter, after yet another uprising, The Maccabean as I recall, had long seemed the judgment and the verdict of history, and had placed the Jews, as a race, a religion, a culture, and a civilization, permanently and irrevocably on the wrong side of history (especially of both Christian and Muslim history), or so it had long seemed....

Of course, the seeming judgment of history on Rome is yet another story: after the fall of the Western Empire, one saw an attempted re emergence in the 20th Century with Fascism, which was then quickly snuffed out.

You will find many liberal globalist wags, Thomas L Friedman, folks like that, now heralding the rise of China, claiming that it is now, finally, returning to its historical (great great) weight.

What utter, nonsensical bull crap.
