Jerusalem / Court - The Believing Self Attacks the Other and the Legal Self Excuses It, Proving the Illusion of Justice

Event Baseline: A Jewish man in Jerusalem was recorded on CCTV assaulting a Catholic nun. A court acquitted him after ruling he was experiencing a psychotic episode during the attack.

The religious mind is a weapon. It sees the other as a threat to its imaginary security. The attack on the nun is not a random malfunction. It is the programmed output of a belief system that teaches separation: us versus them, sacred versus profane. The attacker did not see a human body. He saw an object in his ideological landscape.

The court then commits a second error. It labels the violence a 'psychotic episode.' This is a category created by a fragmented profession that refuses to see the whole. It isolates the act from the belief that fueled it. The legal system cannot call the belief insane because the society itself is built on the same kind of belief. So it hides behind a clinical label. This is the illusion of justice. It protects the ideology by treating the symptom, not the disease. The disease is thought itself, dividing the world into identities and then acting with violence to protect them.
