Return of the Fifth Columnists

by Taki

November 13, 2018

A fifth columnist is a supporter or secret sympathizer of an enemy nation, and the phrase was coined by Spanish nationalist general Emilio Mola Vidal. Before World War II broke out in 1939, Europe was awash with charges of “the fifth column at work” being bandied about by both appeasers as well as those who wanted to stand up to Hitler. One thing was for sure: Jewish groups were adamant that appeasing Germany was the work of fifth columnists; until the Soviet-Nazi peace agreement was signed, that is. (Twenty million dead afterward, and Europe in ruins—appeasers didn’t look as wrong as previously thought.)

Since Taki is basically an anti-Semitic scoundrel, I can't take anything he says seriously.
For the record, I don't like Max Boot either. That still doesn't make Taki not an anti-Semitic scoundrel.
