The Lenses of Deception
Half the world is filled with the cries of Gaza; the other half bows under the barrage of Holocaust slogans.
Between these two voices, a third voice is lost: the voice of Humanity.
The Global Left views reality through a concave lens. In its vision, everything outside the circle of its ideology is diminished. Within a dramatic frame and under a humanitarian mask, it speaks of supporting children and families in Gaza—but when the turn comes to the unarmed cries of people in another country, it fails to see. As if blood is not equal.
The Global Right has turned the slaughter of Jews in Hitler’s Germany into its “bloody shirt.” The Holocaust is magnified through a convex lens so intensely that it seems no other crime has ever occurred in history, or ever will. They brandish the Holocaust of years past so that no one sees the living, breathing atrocities of this very moment.
But the reality is this:
Humans were killed in Gaza. They were killed in Israel. They were killed in the furnaces of history.
And in the streets of Iran, they were killed.
This means that what these two parties say is strictly for domestic consumption.
Those who speak of Gaza know nothing of it, otherwise, they would point to the truth.
Those who beat the drum of the Holocaust simply do not wish to see anything else.
This is the very system to which we grant credibility. We value it in the name of “Politics” and highlight it in the name of “Democracy.”
But politics, contrary to its grandiose name, did not come to accompany humanity.
Politics—as its name implies—draped in the magnificent robes of democracy, strives for only one purpose: to take a ride.
Perhaps the lenses must be washed.
The glasses must be washed. And the eyes must be washed to see things differently.
Civilization does not need politics.
Civilization survives through Management.
