I understand the sentiment of "celebration" but that is another thing that this war and other wars do to us. We lose the understanding that even the loss Zionists and Nazis will be a painful loss for someone. I wish we could just give them something to make them less vile and more prone to finding non lethal solutions that respected the earth and all that lives on it.
Certainly, your wish is noble if likely unachievable. Perhaps my use of "celebrate" was a bit strong, but it does illustrate the extent of my exhaustion with the daily excuses, the daily prevarication spewed by this -- and any other -- philosophy of group exceptionalism. If there's a drug we need, it's an exceptionalist antidote, a hubris detoxifier that restores the reality in bent psyches that humans are all imperfect animals, just a baby step removed from other primates biologically. Individuals are often exceptional in their talents or insights, but when I hear this exceptionalist/chosen people rubbish seriously proffered by supposedly intelligent folks, it seems to automatically trigger a vast wave of brain inflammation in my head.

But isn't that what proper religions advocate? Not those various orgiastic evangelical sects and supremacist mormon-like cancers, but properly applied Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Islam etc? Don't they point out the everyday Joe/Jane's failures and need to watch and check themselves constantly?
Fair point, indeed, indeed. My go-to passage in the Christian NT is Matt. 11:28-30, which includes "Take my (Jesus') yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in spirit, and you will find rest for your souls." If only....
The West and Isrealhell has had a severe mental disorder for hundreds of years called
Chauvinistic Culture Syndrome (I created this term for the undeniably real personality syndrome that has been on display for a very long time). It's the very destructive illness that's worse than being raised by two narcissistic parents. It's been postulated by phychologists that there isn't really a cure for narcissism, IDK. Is there a cure for CCS? To address that question the first step would have to be recognition of the syndrome.
The Chauvinistic Culture Syndrome might be contained at first by enforced International Laws. Then the International Organization has to establish the steps needed to restore the health of those corrupted by the illness. However, getting these powerful entities to submit to a possible cure would be, probably, a violent endeavor.
I remember reading about forty or fifty years ago that the West was often described as being chauvinistic. I think I recall correctly that it was a common reference when discussing the U.S.'s predilection for foreign 'Interventions' such as the Korean, Vietnam, Cambodia and Global South corporate distructions and murderous colonialism.
Somehow that description disappeared from publications in reference to any Western country and I only noticed that change now. It's an excellent diagnosis of MICCA(?)'s raison d'etre in pursuit of global domination.
"However, getting these powerful entities to submit to a possible cure would be, probably, a violent endeavor."
You can consider what's going on now - the rebellion of the rest of the world led by Russia, the apparent unbending will of the Palestinians to keep going against the Zionist cancer, etc - as such violence. As the "International Organizations" got taken over by those same chauvinists and are totally ineffective, if not outright enabling.
Yes. I believe it will take that and I think that in this country the militias have to learn to discard their neo-nazi ideology to help. For right now they are serving the ruling class, the DeSantis and Trump personalities, though they don't appear to recognize that. They need to learn that the we need the opposite of fascism and to unite and learn them Chauvinists some gods damn manners (and much bigger lessons)
Thanks for thinking my wish is noble, but really, it is not. I just do not like feeling glee, even momentarily when I hear that the Israeli system of defence has been disabled and that there have been hundreds of drones that have hit Israel. I am more concerned about how I feel, really, than about how others feel. At least in this instance.
