Henry Kissinger, love him or hate him, was praised across media outlets for his pragmatic approach to geopolitics following his death at the age of 100. However, amidst all the accolades, the media will likely overlook one of Kissinger’s final pieces of advice, particularly regarding anti-Semitism, pro-Palestinian activism, and mass migration.
Henry Kissinger's Last Warning to the West Could Prove Deadly if Ignored https://t.co/1KH4WQZoFq

In an interview with Axel Springer CEO Mathias Döpfner for Germany’s Welt TV just days after the Hamas terror attacks in October, Kissinger expressed his concern over the celebrations of the attack in Berlin, attributing them to mass migration into the country. He argued that it was a mistake to allow so many people of different cultures, religions, and concepts into Germany, as it creates pressure groups within each country.
While Kissinger acknowledged that Hamas needed to face consequences for their aggression, he also warned about the potential escalation of the Middle East conflict and the Arab world’s reaction to it. He believed that Hamas aimed to mobilize the Arab world against Israel, derailing peaceful negotiations.
Yet, the most neglected piece of advice from Kissinger is his assertion that Germany had been negatively impacted by the values of the migrants it had taken in. This sentiment extends beyond Germany, as recent pro-Hamas protests in the West’s major cities have shown. Germany has faced other issues related to migrants, with data from 2018 linking terrorism accusations and violent crimes to asylum-seekers, many from Syria.
Kissinger’s message resonates globally. While Germany grapples with crime and terror associated with Middle Eastern immigration, the United States faces the potential threat of terrorists exploiting the southern border. The border crisis is not limited to crime and cartels associated with human trafficking; it also involves gangs like MS-13 and other illegal immigration-related criminality. However, speaking up about these issues often invites accusations of bigotry or extremism.
At the age of 100, Kissinger had no reason to hold back on highlighting the inconvenient truths that world leaders often ignore due to political correctness. The left, especially, needs to acknowledge these truths now that pro-Palestinian elements within their movement have hijacked it for anti-Semitic purposes. Kissinger’s words serve as a reminder that truth should never be sacrificed for the sake of convenience, no matter how uncomfortable it may be.
