SOTT: Although the author recognizes that these cases are pathological, he wrongly attributed them to the traumatic memories of holocaust. Rather, as pointed out by Lobaczewski in his book Political Ponerology, they are the results of either inherited genetic mutations, as in the case of psychopathy, or subtle brain damages acquired in the course of life.

SOTT: Again, the failure of these debates is due to the fact that the pathological elements in the society are seen as normal and their actions are judged on the basis of morality. Instead, they should be viewed as a separate subspecies and studied and dealt with on the basis of psychological science, i.e. ponerology.

Then how comes Israel can persist in its illegal occupation and systematic genocide of their own Semitic brethren and cousins, the Palestinians, and the same war criminals get re-elected time and again?
-
Then how do they still end up being led by known killers and war criminals?

over there on Mars, they call it hypocrisy and thuggery. But here on Earth it is called Anti-Semitism and “war on terrorism”.
-
He would learn that Israel is a fraudulent creation born of a fraudulent motto a land for a people, for a people without land, for a land without people (how do they keep that going?)
-
The Israeli governments regardless of their stripes (Likud or Labor), usually dominated by Zionist ideologues, continue to oppress the remaining Palestinians now living in less than 22% of their original pre-1948 land, k

The successive governments purposely force one crisis after another to make pretexts for building more settlements and partitioning the area into disjointed Bantustans. Their hope is that the Palestinians will finally give up and just leave out of desperation.
-
Thus one sees the Zionist rulers of Israel delay making any reasonable peace because they know that time is in their favor, that making any kind of just peace in the future will have to take into account the facts on the ground that they are busy seeding! They also learn from the post apartheid South Africa that once the wealth and power is accumulated in the hands of the minority ruling class, its just and equitable redistribution later, when justice purportedly prevails and peace has been established between the warring factions, is next to impossible

These words are not from a rational mind

Hence those who criticize this prolific author and Holocaust survivor for his hypocrisy, must realize that he is not a rational person. For a rational mind, it would indeed be hypocrisy.

Add Sticky NoteBy the same token, they are also unfit to hold important positions of influence where their inability to tell right from wrong due to their own loss of objectivity and rational thinking, can lead to another's suffering.

SOTT: In the above passages, the author clearly recognizes the pathological aspects. However, due to the lack of knowledge of ponerology, he cannot imagine those pathological elements as a separate subspecies. Instead, he tries desperately to mend his worldview by attributing those to traumatic experiences.

While the Holocaust suffering of the Jews lasted for six long apocalyptic years, the suffering and persecution of many Palestinians has gone on for more than three decades and is no less cataclysmic for the victims
-
Those who advocate support of Israel at the expense of enslaving Palestinians and killing them in small numbers at a time on a daily basis and wounding many more so that they would eventually die off as cripples but not raise the alarm in the rest of the world because numbers seem to define when mass killing is called a genocide and when it isn't, or removing them forcibly from their homeland euphemistically calling it a "population transfer", are guilty of the same crimes of genocide they accuse their own oppressors of.

Their most impressive and successful myth, that will one day perhaps rival those in ancient civilizations, is that "it is the poor Israel that is under siege by the evil and barbaric Palestinians illegally living on land given to the Jews by God Almighty Himself and it is so written in their ancient scriptures".
-
We can write and lament all we want, but so long as the American peoples continue to finance and arm Israel with their tax dollars and permit this genocide and hypocrisy to continue, there will be more and more books written in the future about the “banality of evil”!

But if they perceive an enemy (real or imagined) is out to get them, they will rise in self defense, as any self respecting nation would.

The power of an angry peoples willing to lay down their lives for their rights and justice worries all tyrants and empires.

There is indeed a lot of thought behind his deceptively laconic statement “Democracy is inimical to imperial mobilization”, for what it really states is that public protest can be destructive to the oilygarchy interests
-
Thus we see that ZB's observation for imperial mobilization has necessitated both a new Pearl Harbor, and the curtailment of civil liberties in order to counter the democratic instincts of the American public against imperial mobilization
