Israeli Jews are the immediate perpetrators, but the same possibility of this Holocaust lie in the power that governs this world, and in our time this power lies in the US (with all its lackeys like the EU). But not in the democratic US, which is not the case. But in the undemocratic oligarchic power the dominates us all. So, the problem is systemic. And if the system doesn't change, such crimes will happen again. At least we have to get from all this madness some new conscience of the structure of the world and recognize and reject our illusions about it.

🎯💯 Stefano, you and I understand this, but unfortunately many people don't. They keep blaming 'religion' or 'Jews' or whatever (as the root cause) instead of the SYSTEM that creates such behaviors and incentives in humans. As you rightly say, "unless the system is changed", similar events will continue happening globally...

It’s a vicious cycle of abuse seen throughout history: ‘yesterday’s abused become tomorrow’s abusers’ … and the delusion of the abusers is that if they can exterminate the abused, the cycle will be broken … like I said, delusional.

The only time I have seen, with my own eyes, where the vicious cycle is replaced by a more virtuous cycle is when individuals or small groups choose to break the pattern through genuine, heartfelt forgiveness: of the other and themselves - I am thinking some Australian Aboriginal Elders I know, and also people like Gabor Mate … but it’s a big ask: I just hope I would have the grace and courage if it were me …
