Toxic Post #2

I have so much good content just on this day, 10/05/2024 that it may warrant it's own blog post.

Look at this, this was later on this morning:

😭

From 10.03.2024:

There are experts, not just scientists but people who earn a working living doing this sort of thing and that could be shared worldwide and every country or nearly every country, and all people could be food dependent. There's also much information on how to build sustainable housing or "trash" houses called like Earthships and things like that. The whole world economy could be in good shape and it would actually be of benefit to all people and nature on the planet basically. It's not a pipedream. It's a realistic thing we could make happen. The system wants people to be trapped in and under the system's control.

Save the bees. Save the World. Free Palestine. Free all people from tyranny and injustice. Stop spreading and doing craziness around the world. It's not rocket science. - We will answer to Allah Most High - One All Knowingly All Just and Merciful and Providing God, Lord of the Worlds.

When the Oppressed becomes an Oppressor

The phrase "never forget" is a cornerstone in Israeli society, emphasising the importance of remembering past atrocities to prevent their recurrence. Holocaust education is mandatory in schools, and memorials like Yad Vashem (The World Holocaust Remembrance Centre) serve as constant reminders of the past.

For 9/11, 7/7 or 7 October, we all now know these anniversary dates, they are burned into our brains through repetition. Every year as those dates get closer, we see the ceremonies, the TV documentaries, the token sombre symbol as we are told we should never forget that such atrocities occurred once upon a time.

This process of "date-ification," is especially apparent in the West, where specific dates are memorialised annually, and keeps the trauma alive in the collective consciousness.

The same privilege is not given to non-Western victims, however. Their atrocities are often under-reported and given mere descriptive titles - such as the Nakba, the Christchurch mosque shooting, the Srebrenica massacre, the Transatlantic slave trade et al.

The Nakba for example, is a deep and foundational trauma for Palestinians, yet it lacks any type of international recognition and memorialisation in the same way.

I am not saying that’s a bad thing. Any intense focus on past suffering will hinder the ability to heal and move forward.

When you’re constantly reminded that you were a victim, that bad things happened to you and to ‘never forget’ - you diminish the ability to ever, ever forgive. That trauma is never released and instead, it becomes an entitlement, a burden and a stick to beat others with.

Not only do you now have unresolved anger, what’s worse, you feel it is justified.

The cycle of abuse continues further.

How do we move forward as a society?

“A reporter once asked the Dalai Lama whether he had any anger towards China. He replied: ‘They have taken everything from us, should I let them take my mind as well?” - Patrick McKeown

We need to normalise that it’s okay to forget about the Holocaust.

We can both say it was a tragedy AND say it’s a long time ago and we need to move on. They are not mutually exclusive and I am not a monster for saying it.

Even those directly affected by it will recognise the importance of not living in the past and the need to finally move forward.

Ditto with the 9/11 anniversary every year and October 7.

If any society remains perpetually anchored in its traumas, what is the long-term play for the people who live there?

Will love ever penetrate their hearts or will hate continue to grow?

Will they ever fully recover or will each generation become more and more bitter?

Even those who are two are three generations removed are infected by the toxic and negative trauma of the tragedies.

You end up with a distant ancestor of trauma, fuelled by this false need for vengeance becoming the oppressor and the roles reversing. If this education is continually spread, the hatred and violence will never stop. It’s like a person who, after being scratched by a cat once, becomes afraid of all cats and decides to keep them all away, even friendly ones… and programs his entire family for generations that all cats and kittens are evil and must be killed on sight.

Ludicrous, when we put it like that, isn’t it?

Trauma need not dictate destiny.

We need to stop this ridiculous memorialisation of past tragedies - it’s serving no one except a few. We need to put in place proper methods and techniques to heal the collective consciousness and start building bridges again.

And we NEED to call a spade, a spade.

The new oppressor MUST be called out and his privileges stopped. Without accountability and rule of law, there is nothing except anarchy and chaos, which is what we’re seeing now.

We wouldn’t allow a rapist to continue committing abuses - even if he had once been abused himself. That isn’t justice. That isn’t how law and order operates. We would throw the book at them and they would go to jail for a very long time. And rightly so. What we WOULDN’T do is justify their right to commit the crime - let alone aid and abet them - so why oh why are we allowing it to occur in the case of Israel?

To end, I want to refer again to Imran Khan’s hauntingly apt admission in the documentary.

"It's one of the most sad and shameful aspects of our society. I am totally embarrassed by this and that we have not really been able to protect them."

Me too, Mr Khan. Me too.

The same applies here. These powerful words echo loudly on a global stage. They now reflect the collective failure to protect the Palestinians.

The pressing questions are: How can we heal? How can we halt the cycle? And how can we hope for a better future?

The West must be willing to recognise their failures and the question is, will they really take responsibility for enacting change?
