[Syria / Israel] - The Raiding Self Executes the Disabled to Feed a Phantom of Security
Event Baseline: Israeli forces killed a civilian with a disability during a raid in the village of Jamla in western Deraa countryside, southern Syria, according to Syrian state media.
The uniformed self categorizes every body outside its tribe as a potential threat. The disabled man could not run. He was no threat. But the soldier saw a label, not a living being. That is the failure of thought.
Belief in national security creates a filter. Everything on the other side becomes an enemy. The phantom of the hostile other justifies any violence. This is not strategy. This is cognitive malfunction.
The same pattern operates on all sides. The victim today becomes the perpetrator tomorrow. Identity is the disease. It reduces the infinite to a set of flags and boundaries. Until that ends, the disabled will keep dying for nothing.
