JUSTIFYING OUR ACTS .....

How do today racists, supremacists, apartheidists and genocidists  falsify, evade and twist the conflict between their actions and a universal code of ethics ?? They resort to one of several types of rationalization, all of which are a variation on a simple psychological theme ; "Blame the victim." Jared Diamond continues by saying even Hitler claimed self defense in starting world war 2 , he went to the trouble of faking a Polish attack on a German border post.

Possessing the right religion or race or political belief and motivation or claim, whether historical, divine or racist, all based on the vanity to represent progress or a higher level of civilization, is a second traditional justification for doing anything, including barbaric brutality and cruelty, theft and genocide, to all those possessing the wrong principle or those who happen to be on the weaker side.

Adherents to any major religion world wide, and more so Jews, Muslems and Christians, invariably try to accuse and label each other as irredeemably lower humans, justifying horrific actions of genocides and annihilation toward the others, the them.

Our ethical codes regard animals and humans differently. Thus modern genocidists routinely compare their victims to animals, in order to better justify the killings and brutality. Zionism in our actual times typify this attitude versus Arab Palestinians in the illegal occupied territories. White supremacists and some Evangelicals think and behave the same way against blacks and other minorities.

Historically Nazis considered Jews to be subhuman lice, the French settlers of Algeria referred to local Muslem Arabs as ratons, (rats), Boers called African indigents baboons, the English language as any other Semitic or non Semitic language is full with animal attributes used as pejorative to lower the other to subhuman levels, you pig, you ape, bitch, cur, dog, ox, rat, swine, vermin or snake.

Americans and European history of genocides is plentiful, not very discussed though in modern times, but they constitute the best indication of complicity and indirect encouragement of the Zionist Israeli behavior toward Arabs. Justifying most of the time the total silence and ignoring the criminal acts of one group of people toward another in our 21st century .

Apartheid, racism and sheer brutality in Israel, the U.S. or any country for that matter is not an accident, nor a passing little malaise, not even a temporary situation, it is a well planned strategy through years of indoctrination to form young minds and a whole class of aggressive settlers, police, and zealots' militias, it's all by design, all to achieve certain dubious goals of annihilation and total supremacy in the land. And this exact model is being recreated and reassembled in several parts of the world.

In today's world, genocide, brutality and apartheid are more accurately described as one race of civilian peasants and settlers exterminating another for their lands, waters and wealth. And modern man like his predecessor have a gift to reconcile genocide with the universal code of ethics, the solution is always to plead self defense, viewing and picturing the victims as savages and animals, or the post modern vocabulary of "terrorists", a very convenient new adjective to some, indeed.
