The difference between Israel’s overall goal and the Jihadists overall goal is that Israel seeks to eliminate the terrorists trying to kill them, and the Jihadists goal is to kill the Jews (or at least destroy the Jewish state and subject the Jewish people to submission under their oppressive, supremacist, ultra-nationalist, fascist rule).

The lack of universal moral clarity on this is not just astounding, but with regard to those who call themselves academics, experts, journalists, politicians, commentators, professors, and the like, it’s honestly embarrassing.

It’s one thing to be against war, violence, and death, which is a natural impulse to all feeling humans, but it’s quite another to reverse the cause and effect of these regional wars. It isn’t hiding, it’s in plain sight.

It makes one wonder whether the jihadi-inspired brain rot has so deeply and irreparably pervaded our collective consciousness that they actually aren’t aware of their moral obfuscation, or worse, they know exactly what they’re doing and they’re doing it on purpose.

Either way, our zeitgeist is marked by a duration of sweeping dishonesty, and untruth only sets us down an ever more dangerous path.
