THE DOUBLE STANDARD

The double standard can be denied. The lives of Palestinians, the non Jews, are of the same intrinsic value as any other life. Dead people, dead children, dead women, dead societies, human cruelty for its own sake can be denied.

The banality of evil represented today in the double standard regarding the death and distruction in the Middle East, for example, the Hezbollah leader who agreed to a ceasefire got assassinated.

All dead are equal. This seems to be lost in this conflagration. There has been and is, a double standard in this war, that can be denied, it’s reminiscent of Viet Nam and burning children with napalm, Agent Orange, the destruction of Fallujah.

October 7th, October 8th, that was a year ago, now today, an expanding war is it whose interests?
