Auschwitz on TikTok
The United
States of Israel murdered 77 Palestinians last night, a
strong rebound from a mediocre score of 25
the previous evening. The highlight of last night’s
bounce-back performance was the killing of 15 displaced citizens at two schools
turned shelters.
I know
this is an awful topic for a season in which we like to think we celebrate
peace. But pretending this tax-sponsored carnage isn’t happening doesn’t
exactly seem appropriate either. I doubt peace was ever achieved by ignoring
violence.
If you can
spare five minutes, you might find the interview below to be insightful. The
speaker, one Gabor Mate, is an 80-year-old child psychologist I have come to
appreciate. I first saw him on the leftist news show Democracy Now -- which I
consider the only such program worth watching any more, but that’s just
me.
Anyway,
Mate has some rather astute observations about the psychology of both the victims
and perpetrators of genocide. Just click on the item below:
