Local and international events of the last couple of weeks have been too much for much emotionally or intellectually. I really do not want to recite it, and I think it's a good idea to think about it, or maybe think about it.
I am pinpointing the acts of hatred. Hatred is a powerful emotion that feeds off of envy, resentment and feelings of helplessness and inadequacy, which fortunately, many of us overcome when we start to realize our own individual potential and gain some control of our destiny. It is a powerful emotion that unscrupulous politicians hijack at their will. History is littered with horror stories of people manipulated to dislike others with such intensity that they perform the most inhumane acts against fellow human beings.
As I write, the news flash is that 12 people were just gunned down in a bar outside Los Angeles, we have yet to know why. Certainly, the deadly attack on Jewish people in the synagogue in Pittsburgh has long been a success because of the current, more acceptable "them and us" rhetoric in the US. That white supremacist perpetrator had a good time, but it could have been Black, Oriental, gay, or Hispanic people instead, it was just a matter of having a pet hate.
President Trump does not accept the correlation between hate speech and hate action. He is a staunch defender of Jewish people but fails to grasp that anti-Semitism is a cultural fact, established since the Crusades, it was not even the horrendous extermination of 6 million Jews seems able to eradicate. It waits to be ignited and his support for racist groups and his belittling of those who oppose them just that. His verbal attack on the billionaire George Soros, often vilified by right-wingers as supporting the demographic replacement of white Americans, or "white genocide" and of funding to the US by that band of Central American refugees, led directly to the left wing Jewish philanthropist receiving one of the pipe bombs that President Obama and Hillary Clinton received, all trump hate figures.
There is an aspect of entrenched hatred of Jewish people that fascinates. It is the tireless effort to camouflage itself with self-flagellation over the holocaust being the worst human atrocity in the history of the world. They are also interested in a solution to the "Jewish problem," which may not be finalized as Hitler's, but to an extent they accepted the benefits of his dirty work. Attacks on Jews in Europe have been reportedly increased 57 percent since 2017, not withstanding the illegality of racism and the ever-vigilant Jews, lest anyone forgets the holocaust.
Europeans, who also uncountable millions of Africans into slavery for centuries-purging them of all connections with their culture, language, religion and people, inventing specific instruments of torture, branding their bodies, shaking them, lynching them and repeatedly beating them close enough to death so that they die several deaths, making them go hungry, poor and bereft of all dignity – often do not think that they are reprehensible to crime as the holocaust, since the intention of slavery was not extermination. This reveals something beyond hatred of the enslaved. The dehumanization of people of African origin is a cultural thing that, like anti-Semitism, lies in the skin, but unlike the holocaust, those who became rich on slavery, especially the British who excelled at it, so glossed over it in their historical books that are made by modern historians. It is odd that individuals still refute the fact that Christianity is being debated by non-Europeans by incorporating it into their belief system.
As division and hatred spread we should remind ourselves of history, we repeat it. Historians warn us that we are doing a lot of things and we are doing it. We should also be aware of abuses of power, such as the surreal and brazen state of the art, and the opinion of the journalist.
At home, we should be worried that they should not be killed, they should not. Those who think that they are right in our institutions, healthy ones, stand between us and mayhem, if you do not believe that, witness current events on Capitol Hill.
