Author Attributes Hamas Attack to Palestinian Mental Illness, Calls for Ruthless Defeat

Translated & summarized from Channel 9 by baba
The story · English

The author posits that human pride and vanity drive the persistent search for external causes behind mass murder tragedies, leading to the "inadvertent forgetting" of the direct perpetrators. Instead of acknowledging the perpetrators' motivations, people seek hidden agendas or rational explanations, seemingly to justify humanity as a whole. The article argues that the Hamas attackers on October 7th had no discernible goal beyond "severe mental illness" characterized by envy, hatred, and pathological cruelty. Similarly, the author claims the Holocaust stemmed from a "mentally ill" German nation. A portion of Arabs, termed "Palestinians," are described as "severely mentally ill," rendering searches for blame on external factors like Russia, Iran, Qatar, or the global community futile. The author asserts that the only effective approach is a "complete, ruthless defeat" of these "mentally ill" individuals, drawing a parallel to the defeat of the Germans in 1945. However, the author cautions that temporary success does not preclude future instances of societal breakdown, citing examples like Stalin in the USSR, Pol Pot in Cambodia, and Mao in China, where parts of the world have succumbed to evil and resorted to mass murder to solve their problems.
