New in PJ Media:
If you’re planning a sunny vacation in Amman, Jordan, anytime soon, be sure to check out, if not to patronize, the new shawarma spot that everyone is talking about: it’s called “October 7.”
Oct. 7, for those who may have been hibernating for the last few months, was the day that Hamas jihadis stormed into Israel and embarked upon a bloody orgy of mass rape and mass murder, leaving 1,200 Israelis dead. Even among those who have deluded themselves and others into believing that this was a justified act of “resistance” against Israeli “occupation,” it is hard to see why this would be something to be celebrated.
After all, it isn’t hard to find people who believe that the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were justified and prevented a larger casualty total that would have been the result of a ground invasion of Japan, but it’s much harder to find anyone who jumps for joy over the killing of thousands of Japanese. And there is no restaurant in the U.S. named “Hiroshima” in celebration of the bombing.
Yet in Amman, a video shows the October 7 shawarma place doing a brisk business, with the person taking the video thanking Allah as he approaches the store. Nor is this the first such business in the Islamic world: up until recently, there was a clothing store in Gaza called “Hitler 2.” One customer explained: “The name of the shop is ‘Hitler’ and I like him because he was the most anti-Jewish person. They have done us wrong, they took our rights in this land and they left us with nothing. It is better for us now to go and die, we are living like the dead. I like the clothes and the name, it is fantastic.”
No matter what the Jews may or may not have done, does anything justify rejoicing at their mass murder, or at the killing of any human being? The problem is that in the mindset of the people who name and patronize establishments such as October 7 and Hitler 2, they’re not exactly dealing with human beings. The Qur’an says: “Indeed, the worst of animals in Allah’s sight are the ungrateful who will not believe” (8:55). The unbelievers are “the most vile of created beings” (98:6).
This applies specifically to the Jews, whom Allah transformed into apes and pigs for their disobedience (2:63-66; 5:59-60; 7:166). Antisemitism is deeply embedded within the Qur’an and Islamic tradition. The Qur’an’s treatment of Jews is consistent and unambiguous: those who do not accept that Muhammad is a prophet and become Muslims are untrustworthy schemers who hate the Muslims and try to frustrate their plans whenever and wherever they can.
There is more. Read the rest here.

As regards Hiroshima: it’s a great What if story. What if nuclear fission by a chain reaction had not been demonstrated in Germany just over 12 months before the start of WWII in Europe? The incredible punctuality of Evil. As it was it became public scientific knowledge. The whistle blew and the race was on. The Germans, the British, the Americans, the Russians … and yes even the Japanese began think seriously about building a bomb
It doesn’t seem to be well known that the Japanese had a research program to see if it was possible to build the ultimate bomb. If they had won the race there is no doubt that they would have bombed London, Glasgow, Belfast, New York, Washington, Seattle, Los Angeles, San Diego, Honolulu, not necessarily in that order. But as it was, the gigantic resources required were beyond their means. The Manhattan project built enormous factories pounding away 24 hours a day to produce a thimble of fisible material at lengthy intervals; and they had no choice in the matter, because they assumed that the other side would do the same if they could.
But even so, the argument goes, why use it at the end of it all when we knew they had nothing. Save American getting massacered in a mainland invasion. There’s something in that -but even after Nagasaki the Japanese Military still wouldn’t yield; they would rather have gone to Hell and taken every last Japanese and American with them.
And had the Japanese succeeded with their Atomic Bomb program and devastated every strategic city of the Allies, killing millions upon millions, would the victorious Japanese have shed tear? Would they have said that maybe they should have just dropped an A-bomb on St. Helena in the Atlantic to scare the Allies into submission?

They are very au courant. If you order Jewish baby, they will serve it fresh or microwaved
