“Only a person who feels he will lose will demand equality as a universal principle…People can only be equal in respect of those characteristics having the least value. Equality as a purely rational idea can never stimulate desire, will, or emotion. But resentment, in whose eyes the higher values never find favor, conceals its nature in the demand for equality. In reality, it wants nothing less than the destruction of all those who embody those higher values which arouse its anger… Just as we are not up against justice but rather up against vengeance, so we are not truly up only against proponents of equality, but also against those who hold a pathological desire for destruction.”
Douglas Murray, The War on the West: How to Prevail in the Age of Unreason

“When it is acceptable to attack Israel using methods, ideas, and language that would immediately be confronted if they targeted any other nation or people, the floodgates for moral relativism open up.”
Aryeh Lightstone, Let My People Know: The Incredible Story of Middle East Peace—and What Lies Ahead

Douglas Murray
“The people of resentment are intent on forbidding the best emotions. What are those emotions? The most important, without doubt, is gratitude… Only a person intent on great evil would be denied or deny themselves this crucial human attitude. Without an ability to feel gratitude, all of human life and human experience is a marketplace of blame, where people tear up the landscape of the past and present hoping to find other people to blame and upon whom they can transfer their frustrations. Without gratitude, the prevailing attitudes of life are blame and resentment, because if you do not feel any gratitude for anything that has been passed on to you, then all you can feel is bitterness over what you have not got.”
Douglas Murray, The War on the West: How to Prevail in the Age of Unreason

“I think we’ve pushed free will aside, and we’ve pushed aside people’s right to fail… You can’t assure people that they’re going to be successful. You can give people security, but it comes at the expense of liberty.”
Michael Pack, Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words

“Israel is not the cause of Palestinian problems. In fact, no one has done more harm to the Palestinian people than their current leadership, whether it is Hamas in Gaza or the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. Their main leadership technique is blaming Israel for every ill that befalls their people, thus abdicating their own responsibility.”
Aryeh Lightstone, Let My People Know: The Incredible Story of Middle East Peace—and What Lies Ahead
