Simple-minded for the posh, Douglas Murray is yet another sign of our ludicrous times. He pontificates about cults of freedom and death, moral sanity and evil with the unencumbered ease of a Hamas militant. He challenges imaginary adversaries to produce better IDF fighting plans while conveniently forgetting to ask for better Palestinian strategies in the face of nuclear power. Not all asymmetries are created equal, apparently.
He speaks of consensus around Churchill's historical prestige without ever specifying the parameters of that consensus - Allied consensus? British consensus? Oxbridge consensus? He dismisses the death-defying promises of the Aqidah while ignoring the felicitous cruelty of the Aqedah. Don't Christians celebrate the infinite love of the ultimate sacrifice? Aren't all flags ominous anchors of death cults? Doesn't morality itself ground its propaganda in subordinating life to death-worthy horizons?
Isn't Douglas Murray telling us what he's dying for?
