"Nietzsche observed that individual insanity is rare, but mass madness is the historical norm. Throughout time, entire nations have embraced irrational beliefs simply because everyone else did too." ~The Daily Stoic
Israel, if allowed to continue, will never stop bring at war with an other-any other-country, it has spent too many decades killing and blaming it on the other - and there is always an other for israel to blame for something, anything just to pick a fight and, if America continues to fork out billions to keep israelis in free healthcare and armaments then israel will carry on even if it means bankrupting the US, and therefore ruining it for Amrrican citizens and still it will make demands becsuse it has come to the false belief that it should receive always, even ifthe A erican public were to starve because of their demands and expectations. Unless someone stands up and fircefully days, 'No more.' and sticks to it.
A fascinating point. I think the US is like this too. When I first visited the US I thought, this place makes no sense. These many types of people have nothing in common. Then I noticed everyone displays flags, everyone says the pledge of allegiance, everyone uses the word "america" constantly, everyone considers the US to be the best and most superior country and every other country is dangerous rabble.
Then I understood - intense nationalism, (not culture, not decency, not history nor brotherhood), is the only thing keeping them together.
Israel operates like a collective body whose nervous system finds coherence only through crisis. A crisis hits, whether real or manufactured, and we all synchronize around fear and survival. For one moment the fragmentation stops. We cry “together we will win” and the rush of belonging, purpose, righteousness, and transcendence reminds us of a unified identity against a common enemy. A real-life Amalek that validates our fundamental belief about who we are: the eternal victims, the chosen people under constant threat, the ones who must fight to survive.
Yet when the external threat starts to fade, that organizing principle disappears. Without a common enemy to focus on, without a crisis to rally around, people would be forced to turn inward and face what’s been there all along.
Left versus right, religious versus secular, Jew versus Arab, Ashkenazi versus Mizrahi, rich versus poor, Jew versus Jew. Lines drawn and redrawn infinitely. The fragmentation everywhere. This is the inner conflict playing out collectively. The contradictions we can’t face inside ourselves get projected outward. Only when an external enemy appears does coherence return. The crisis becomes the glue. When it fades, the fragmentation surfaces again and the search begins for the next hit. The next war. The next moment of unity. But unity built on a shared enemy isn’t unity. It’s avoidance of what we refuse to face within.
Trump and MAGA are beginning a steep decline right now here in the US. The guy cannot keep up with his own out-of-control narcissism, he's been living the billionaire life for to long. Don't even think he's going to last out his term, probably will leave office sometime next year.
But what comes after is anyone's guess. The societal upheaval here in the States will continue. The economy has fallen off a cliff and will still be falling in 2026 as well, even with Trump gone. If they put into office someone even more fascist than Trump - and they might just do that, then it will all spin out of control further.
I agree, Israel will keep doing what it's doing unless some outside force in the world (doesn't necessarily have to be the US) stops them. The Nazis kept on going until the bitter end as well. We see the same thing with Zelensky in Ukraine (and the EU). When fanatics lead a brainwashed country, it rarely ends well other than complete destruction for that country. May end up being the case for the US too.
Both the Democrats and Republicans are two wings of the "fascist" war party. Everything else is pure theater. There's no left or right. That's an illusion. There's only us and them. And since they hate us with a passion they thusly treat us as the enemy to be sheared like sheep and treated no better than animals. Until they fear for their own skins the situation will never change.
I believe you've got it spot on, Jamenta. Possibly because the US, too, was given too much leeway, and others kept repeating their own propaganda back at them "that they were the world's leader" I never bought into that, met too many American soldiers towards the end of the war handing out gum and stocking for the young women when what we needed was fruit and veg -- Canada sent that.
It’s not just Israel but also the Arab monarchies and military dictatorships throughout the planet. The U.S. and Western Europe are a plague upon humanity.
Very well said Mr. Hazim, as always. This moral rot and lack of empathy and humanity seems to be a pervasive, pernicious attribute characteristic of the occupiers' society. The fact that people's lives are talked about as being worthless or that their extermination is a source of pride, and that extrajudicial killings are praised, shows how deeply flawed and corrupted their institutions are. And still, they are allowed to slaughter and commit atrocities unabated because of the structural support and assistance their sold-out allies provide them, shielding them from accountability and providing impunity, it's disgraceful.
Well said , except the United States of Israel are the godfathers whose followers stand by as if nothing is new and that includes Saudi’s the emeritus and the rest of the cowards in the Arab world should take full blame for looking to make money with Israel and Donald trumps family for profit !!
GH: I could scarcely believe what I was watching - that "lynching" - but then of course I could believe it - it's the brutal reality of genocidal Zionism made plain for all to see. I am reading at the same time of the Zionist justice Michael Lee operating in our major court cases against Palestinian support. How can that be? And of the switch to Zionist "justices" in London against those elderly protesters on behalf of Palestine Action - Starmer's ugliness. Creep by creep these Zionists are strangling justice.
Execution of prisoners was something both sides did during World War II. Easily identified SS Nazis were especially targeted for summary execution by Allied troops.
There is also the emotional overload of soldiers who have just survived risking their lives in a tactical firefight, that once the enemy soldiers surrender, it is easy to take out their emotional trauma on the surrendering soldiers. A good example of this: if one watches "Saving Private Ryan" in the aftermath of the capture of Omaha Beach by the Allies, we can see surrendering German soldiers still being shot.
If you watch this video closely, one can see just before the Israelis executed these two men, the Israeli soldiers did a quick glance around themselves (maybe unconsciously), as if to check to make sure no one was looking, and then shot these men. Which indicates these Israelis knew what they were doing was wrong (to some extent).
Context is also important. The Israeli illegal occupation, condemned now by the majority of the world's population, is making Israeli actions, such as the summary execution of these resistance fighters, an easily identified crime against humanity - since the Israelis themselves are the perpetrators of an unjust occupation of both Gaza and the West Bank, and now the deaths of tens of - most likely hundreds of thousands of unarmed human beings in Gaza, many of whom were children.
Even if you believe these two Palestinian men who were summarily executed by these Israelis deserved it - assuming perhaps they may have killed (or would have killed) a number of Israelis in a firefight - the problem is, in a civilized society - and a civilized world - you should never allow the judgement of who deserves death or not, to be arbitrarily decided by a handful of men with guns. Civilization is fundamentally founded on human laws of conduct - the Nuremburg trials reinforced these laws of conduct - that help protect humanity from the abuse of summary judgements and summary executions, of whomever believes they have the right to act as judge, jury and executioner. Civilization and all our humanity is protected by written agreed upon laws that go beyond the horrific arbitrariness of how these two Palestinians lost their lives. It protects all of us from becoming victims of abuses of power. It is also why, someone like Trump, who is now murdering (from his comfy oval office desk) innocent human beings, in fishing boats off the coast of Venezuela, has now become an enemy to all our humanity - and should be put on trial, much like the German Nazis were at Nuremburg - as an international criminal of the world.
They’ve become a toxic, soulless, atheistic culture in every way. Completely separated from any moral compass. Listing in a sea of blood from their victims. Intoxicated on the here and now of being able to steal, rob, rape, harm and murder almost anyone with zero repercussions.
What Israel is doing to the Palestinians is beyond civilised behaviour but what is more disturbing is it appears that Christains are now being targeted more and more.
So, Netanyahu can't with any credibility say he is only attacking terrorists when he is allowing the same Israelis to attack another religion.
Get the impression Jewish people in Israel belive themselves to be superior to all others, so are they killing arabs because they are competitors?
That’s how the Zionist enterprise and psychopathy of their behaviour has always viewed themselves as being superior!! The reality is they’re are animals, and from what I understand the animal kingdom has never been superior to the human race.
I agree that zionists consider themselves superior though when it comes to wild animals they largely kill instinctively for what they need to survive on .
Only humans have evolved (???)where they consciously choose mass killings.

Israel runs on cycles of violence - otherwise when there is no external enemy there is no internal coherence
A fascinating point. I think the US is like this too. When I first visited the US I thought, this place makes no sense. These many types of people have nothing in common.

Hey AJ, I described this mechanism here -
Israel operates like a collective body whose nervous system finds coherence only through crisis. A crisis hits, whether real or manufactured, and we all synchronize around fear and survival. For one moment the fragmentation stops. We cry “together we will win” and the rush of belonging, purpose, righteousness, and transcendence reminds us of a unified identity against a common enemy.

It is a psychopathic Cult.
I'd be honored if you checked out my work on leaving the cult.
Hi Daniel would love too check out your work on leaving the cult. please feel free to message me. George
Hey George, thank you for connecting. I sent you a message.

Moral arguments are wasted on sociopaths.

It's an abomination. They are abominations, each and every one of them.
Totally agreed, and it is abominable that this massacre keeps going on with impunity
Israelis as well as Americans are programmed to ignore morality regarding the Palestinian Arabs. The sociopaths are made not born.
Well said , except the United States of Israel are the godfathers whose followers stand by as if nothing is new and that includes Saudi’s the emeritus and the rest of the cowards in the Arab world should take full blame for looking to make money with Israel and Donald trumps family for profit !!
Do not expect Drumpf to pay up when the time comes, henever does, prefers to pay lawyers million to save thousands, and thinks he's had a win.
Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you committ atrocities..Voltaire. FREE PALESTINE!!

This latest atrocity has been widely reported, including by THE GUARDIAN: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/nov/28/video-shows-israeli-forces-shooting-palestinians-dead-moments-after-surrender. Note this excerpt: << Even in conflict, the execution of unarmed prisoners is a war crime. >>
I would be remiss if I failed to use the G-word again: genocide.
Execution of prisoners was something both sides did during World War II. Easily identified SS Nazis were especially targeted for summary execution by Allied troops.

Perfect evaluation. I’m sending your brilliant article to my Congresspeople, if that’s ok.
If possible, it gets more frightening: the tentacles of this monster are wider and deeper than any of us wants to believe:

Make Jerusalem look like GAZA!
Yes!!!
