[United States / Israel] - The Arming Self Sells Explosives to Kill the Civilian, Proving the Illusion of a Clean Bomb

Event Baseline: The US planned to sell large bombs to Israel, including 2,000-pound munitions involved in civilian casualty incidents. The transfer was among the largest in recent years.

The arming self believes a bomb can be surgical. It imagines a target that is only military, never a child. But the 2,000-pound shell does not discriminate. It crushes entire buildings. The seller and the buyer both reassure themselves that the purpose is defense. The civilian body is simply collateral.

This is the illusion of precision. Thought creates a category called combatant and another called civilian. Then it drops a machine that cannot read the category. The state self sells the machine to another state self. Both claim moral clarity. Both are lying.

Every bomb sold is a denial of relationship. The seller does not see the buyer's enemy as its own. The buyer does not see the civilian as a mother or a daughter. The illusion of separation allows the transaction. Unless the self sees that it is buying and selling its own extinction, the explosions will continue until there is no one left to press the button.
