DovBear:The murder of Palestinians in Gaza - Guest post by Lurker
(In response to a suggestion that if they love death like their enemies love life that perhaps it should be given to them.)
Mass termination might in the future be seen in retrospect as a mercy. Whether or not it is depends upon how we proceed.
If we leave the Arabs (and Persians, Indians, Asians, etc.) to the tender mercies of Islamic Supremacism the law of the jungle devolvement I have warned of will become reality. That being the case, it effectively is reality now.
In extremis, all solutions must follow. As we grow closer to that point of no return, kill or be killed, our options for mercy become constrained by that which cannot be effective before we are destroyed by our enemies. As it draws nearer, talking is less and less an option.
And these Islamic Supremacists mean to make that day ever closer. They do not love life as you do. Not because they are not the same species but because they are the same species as you. You all know what you are inherently capable of as a race deep down. You know that were someone to find the right chord, you could be plucked to such a crescendo of raw mayhem as to be unrecognizable to yourself as you are now.
These Islamic Supremacists are attempting to drive themselves to such in themselves right now. Their philosophy is that death is preferable to letting their idea of G-d down. Their philosophy is that death in the course of achieving unrivaled unchallenged supremacy is not only okay, but a righteous thing. Your death is not only okay, but a righteous thing. Islamic Supremacists are the embodiment of that which humans wrote into the fictional Klingons of Star Trek, the ultimate expression of the samurai way, another facet of human fanaticism.
Fanatics cannot be argued with. Only contained through marginalization, physical isolation, or termination. Were they in the USA committing acts of murder and mayhem against rivals, they would be on death row or in maximum security prisons. Courts would have no pity on them, judgment by peers would be harsh and unflinching, judges would be unabashedly damning of them.
Well, these are your fellow human beings. What say you about their behavior? Is there anything in your heart as a human being that tells you that there is some other standpoint, some other point of view from which, this is okay?
The world has throughout this conflict sat in judgment of Hamas and Israel and done as much as an American jury sitting through a month long trial of a biker gang arrested for mayhem and murder, listened to the evidence and seen the acts and heard them bragging of their deeds in their own words... and found the police guilty for enforcing the law that society expected of them.
The human survival imperative expected no less of Israel than it brought to the situation and were condemned.
Perhaps the human race deserves Hamas.
