Just like the speech codes he tried to create, a few weeks back, after an entire life-time of arguing against such things (see at right)… this one today… his reaction, is borne primarily, and still… of a post trauma stress disorder.
He wants his Hammurabi Code pounds of flesh — his enemies’ eyes, plucked out, and right hands, severed… and stacked in bloody buckets, over-flowing.
Understandable — given the atrocity of Oct. 7.
But also… deeply unwise.
All his “eradication” advocacy will lead to… is a nation of blinded men, women and children.
And many more… dead ones.
It won’t end the enmity. That’s been here (in deep spades) for 2,300 years — minimum.
And when, in 2011, three teen aged Israelis intentionally ran over Palestinian kids playing soccer in the street with their hatch-back car, and drove off, leaving the kids for dead — on video, unprovoked… there was no immediate violence in retaliation.
No… it simmered. It simmered in Gaza, for a decade. Then two more years beyond that.
Then… it exploded.
It is ALL horrible. It is all wrong, on all sides. But as a product of PTSD, people want to start the story only at their own latest personal injury.
And they want blood. That’s defective thinking — and very bad policy, Paul. Get some therapy (you were on the receiving end of this, from Steve about 19 months ago — when he completely exploded on you, over a very tiny affront — you wrote an addition to his article, as you three regularly did — remember?). No, I am not equating the two — I’m simply saying both are versions of deeply defective reasoning / policy approaches.
To therapy, then — you’ll thank me later.
Out.
