That Universal Bloodlust

Anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian activists burn an Israeli flag in New York City, May 15, 2021. (Luke Tress/Times of Israel/File)

There are simply some human instincts

beyond appraisal and explanation. When a

fallacy becomes a passionate belief belying

reason it asserts itself as a mass paranoia

a sociopathology whose firm visceral

presence motivates believers to emote

their hostility in words and measures that

cannot be mistaken for what it is not. It is not

the result of experience nor necessarily of

personal direct knowledge. It is not an antipathy

based on observable reality. It has, in its

morbid stealth infiltratred receptive minds to

the rank message of exclusion and savage

parody. In its most recent manifestation it sits

securely in the subconscious of committed

progressives that the harbinger of all ills

lives among the innocent of the world, and

must be expunged. A viral campaign of resolute

cancellation, first appearance and persuasion

and then an incisive collective dismissal aided

by declarations of an intention of obliteration

inadvertently interrupted and perhaps the time

has arrived to mount a new and more effective

method of excising that ancient enemy of

humanity from its traditional podium of 

influence in manipulating the world order.
