The reaction of American officials and media is quick, reflexive, myopic, and void of any context.” Hamas is terrorist, and the act is “unprovoked,” and Israel has the right to defend itself; the Palestinians have just to accept that 11th commandant prophecy, and most of all this is Israel/911. Which I disagree, first that New York was not an occupied territory, protected by armies , and the two towers did not have illegal settlers. When a white kid takes a machine gun and kills 10s of innocent people at a church, nightclub, or school, we immediately ask what led the nice boy to commit such a heinous act. Did he have a girlfriend or a tick-tock account? Was he sexually active? Did he lose his parent’s attention and care?

The French essayist Julien Benda, in an essay published in 1927, “La Trahison des clercs,” is an attack on the intellectual corruption of the age. Thanks to such men, Benda wrote, “Humanity did evil for two thousand years but honored good.”. However, our modern civilization slipped to honor hatred, nationalism, and racism, when man now substituted action over the idea, and success becomes the value. In the last few weeks, lots of talks and debates swept the airwave and offices watercoolers around America after the opening of Cillian Murphy’s blockbuster film Oppenheimer, a bit lagging behind Barbie. This Barbenheimer craze swept the nations where Barbie broke the one-billion-dollar box office barrier. Oppenheimer is based on the American Prometheus book, a 700 pages biography of J.
