Germany - The Proxy Self Projects Its Hatred Onto the Other

Event Baseline: German authorities indicted two men for plotting to kill Jewish leaders on behalf of Iran, revealing a conspiracy linked to foreign intelligence.

This is not a crime of passion or a solitary derangement. It is the virus of belief using one human as a proxy to strike another. Iran's ideological self, threatened by the existence of the Jewish state, cannot tolerate the other's being. It outsources the act, recruiting agents who have dissolved their own conscience into the cause. The German agents, in turn, become hollow instruments. They do not see human beings; they see symbols that must be erased. This is the ugly offspring of identification with an idea. The mind that believes it is defending a righteous cause will justify any atrocity. This is the mechanism that has driven every pogrom and genocide. Unless the mind can perceive that the 'other' is a projection of its own fragmentation, this loop will repeat endlessly. The choiceless perception of our shared humanity is the only firewall.
