The pro-Israel crowd is now gleefully sharing amateur snuff films across social media, ones that depict brutal and graphic murder of innocent civilians. They’re also sharing hi-def video of Israel’s large-scale bombing of Gaza. People, probably decent people, who have never set foot outside their own state, much less the United States, are reveling in the animal horror, and forcing others to participate. The Israel/Palestinian conflict is giving everyone a sense of purpose again, and they’ve latched on to it with the fervency with which they clung to COVID hysteria.
Men and women of the West feel no meaning in their lives, and so they live vicariously through faraway events, gaining a counterfeit meaning via proxy. A certain segment of the American conservative population have rediscovered their appetite for Muslim genocide, and many of these fools are boldly stating that Gaza should just be wiped out. Would they pull the trigger, if they were put in front of a Gaza family?
We’re all supposed to take sides in this faraway conflict that has nothing to do with us, apart from our own government’s involvement in funding and arming the occupying state of Israel. But in a conflict between rabid animals, there is no taking sides. The moment anyone points out reasons for the Hamas slaughter, they’re shouted down. No one wants reasons, they want to remain in the drugged trance of raw emotion.
