The Pathology of Delusion

Truly astonishing, if not without its very

element of disbelief, the prevalence of

unstable minds finding comfort in the

presence of others like themselves for whom

the delusions they favour reflect their sad

inability to recognize reality in preference

to absorbing pernicious myths of evil

assigned to the world's least populous and

most popular target for malice and violence

taking their emotionally unhinged presence

to the streets of world capitals where they

shout imprecations against the Zionist

'occupiers' of Palestine while they themselves

occupy main thoroughfares, connecting bridges

offices of government and scream invective

at Jews everywhere, but Israel in particular.

Mounting displays of body-bagged 'corpses'

bearing signage reminiscent of and hailing an

'unfinished' Holocaust, they exhaust the patience

of governments and the quietly larger segment

of any population that abhors their showmanship

but above all their poor choice in championing

savagery in the name of 'freedom'; mass murder

as well deserved for the sin of existence, rape as

an antidote to hopes of peace and security, for

these are the free world's arbiters of justice.
