Israel Finally Faces the "Quintus Moment"

The vice president said that the United States was the only powerful ally Israel had left and noted that two-thirds of the weapons that protected Israel were paid for by U.S. tax dollars.

Analysis By

In the 2000 film classic, Gladiator, there was a morally lukewarm character named Quintus (played by Tomas Arana) -- who faithfully served General Maximus (Russell Crowe) during Rome's wars in Germania. After the evil Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) killed his own father, the Emperor Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris), Quintus is assigned to head the new Emperor's Praetorian Guards. In that capacity, Quintus faithfully executes Commodus's commands, including the order to have the righteous Maximus executed.

Maximus manages to escape his captivity and -- to make a long story short -- falls into anonymous slavery before emerging again as the mysterious and ferocious Gladiator who so captivates the normie mob of the Roman Colosseum. Commodus cannot kill Maximus directly because the hero of the arena has become too popular. Instead, he stages a climactic spectacle in which he fights Maximus before the packed Colosseum, inside a circle of Praetorian Guards. Little do the screaming throngs realize that "brave" Commodus has rigged the match by wounding Maximus with a minor stab minutes before the death match commences. In spite of the injury, Maximus gains an advantage by slashing the Emperor's arm and knocking his sword out of his hands. The panic-stricken Emperor commands Quintus, and then his men to hand him a new sword. At this peak dramatic "tipping point," Quintus, upon realizing that the Emperor is doomed, ignores the order and then shouts at his men, "Sheath your swords! Sheath your swords!"

Injured and left with only a small knife to fight with, Commodus is then killed by Maximus, before Maximus himself collapses and dies in the arena. The final action, or non-action, of Quintus perfectly demonstrates how morally lukewarm people will, if delivered from fear, ultimately discover a remnant of courage to do the right thing. In his heart, Quintus never liked the wicked Commodus. But because he had been a fearful careerist, he obediently served the tyrant until it was finally "safe" to join the rebellion against him.

That is what I mean by "The Quintus Moment." And boy oh boy are the newly liberated "antisemitic" ™ Quintuses coming out of their closets now!

1. Quintus (in foreground wearing hat) served in war under Maximus and respected him. But as soon as Commodus assumed the title of Emperor (by killing his own father), he served the new Emperor out of fear and career concerns. // 2 & 3. Commodus thought he had rigged the death match. He ultimately lost his life after Quintus refused to help him cheat any longer. See 16-second scene below.

Q-Trump (playing the role of Maximus) has used the Q-run "Mainstream Media" to inflict enormous damage upon the Q-controlled Shitty Little State (now playing the desperately deranged role of Commodus). This is analogous to Commodus losing his sword in the process of being injured. The following headlines, gathered up and submitted to "The Editorial Board" of The Anti-New York Times by "T.D." for us, represent only a fraction of the anti-Israel cacophony which all of Normiedom is hearing now:

LA Times: Israel squandered its goodwill in the US, and now what?

Newsweek: Trump blasted in newspaper owned by top donor (Miriam Adelson) “You betrayed us”

The Independent (UK): Vance threatens Israel after criticism over Trump’s deal with Iran.
The Hill: Opinion: For the US to prevail in the Middle East, Netanyahu must go.

The Telegraph: Vance tells Israel: “You can’t kill your way out of problems”

AP & WSJ: JD Vance slams Israeli officials who criticized Iran deal, deepening rift between allies.

Fox: Trump leaves Netenyahu endorsement hanging with pointed warning ahead of crucial election.

Reuters: Vance warns Israeli critics not to attack US over Trump’s Iran deal. “Trump is your only ally”

AFP: Israel FM cuts contact with EU top diplomat over “apartheid “ remarks.

Telegraph (UK): Editorial: I’m finding strength in my Jewish traditions as the world turns against us.

And there's about "6 million" more articles where those came from. Oy!

Of course, those planted stories are all part of the operation too, as are most of the manifestly deranged "over the top" statements now flowing forth -- both online and in person -- by Q-controlled Zionists in the SLS and in the U.S.. But as a direct and intended consequence of which, we are now witnessing more and more people rediscovering their metaphorical balls and spontaneously joining in on the attacks upon the Shitty Little State and its "American" agents. Sensing "blood in the arena" and Zionism's weakened state, online influencers of varying political leanings and audience size, as well as everyday normies are increasingly saying the things they dared not say before. The long overdue Quintus Moment has arrived, and this "anti-semitism" ™ thing may soon get out of control --- especially if our friend "Bibi 2.0" does something really reckless. In its hour of death, nobody is going to hand the SLS a helping sword. The remaining "usual suspects" of any degree of influence are finding out that many of their formally obedient "allies" never really liked them after all.

Ain't we got some fun now? Trust the plan.

THE "TIPPING POINT" 

1 & 2. Hatred for and mockery of Bibi 2.0 is now mainstream -- The Sunday Times (UK) and the Boston Globe. // 3. Well played, Q Agent "Bibi." Well played!

Boobus Americanus 1: I read in the New York Times today that J.D. Vance just eviscerated Israel for opposing the end of the war...

Boobus Americanus 2: It's time to cut Israel loose. Even Trump and Vance have had enough.

St Sugar: Tell it, Quintus. Tell it!

Editor: Amazing how easy it is to become a patriot when the tide of war shifts.
