Apathy and the war

Before, there was a sense of security. Of fairness. Of someone taking responsibility for actions. The human right commissions. The UN. There were curtains that hid things away. Was possible for it all to appear meaningful. Now there isn’t even subterfuge. There are no hidden motives, no speculation. Its all laid out on the table: the disintegration of our collective morality.

Apathy and the war

So, this absolute beauty of an event happened today. Israel said in their parliament yesterday that they had been encouraged to go on with the offensive in Lebanon since none of the important global powers had stopped them from doing so which, needless to say, is very true. Today US expressed “outrage” over Israeli claims (reports BBC). This hands down has to be the funniest incident ever. Do not know what is more tragic: that the robbers publicly reveal the ill-concealed fact that they had bribed the (self-appointed) police or that it takes a verbal revelation by the robbers rather than the rather thinly veiled public knowledge of the bribery itself for the police to feign outrage. And do they take us and future terrorists, to be so undiscerning as to reject what we see and replace it with what we hear.
