Human Stupidity and Arrogance

NEVER underestimate the power of human stupidity. Why? Here are some examples:

The Covid hysteria with it's unnecessary, harmful lockdowns, social distancing and masks, also unnecessary and harmful.

The large number of people who hate Donald Trump.

The Salem Witch Trials.

The alien invasion scam of 1938.

Hamas terrorists thinking that the way to salvation is through murder, mayhem and destruction.

The American left who supports Hamas.

People who think that men can be women and vice versa. No, really.

The Jonestown mass suicide.

The prohibition of alcohol.

The Y2K bug panic.

The belief in a global warming catastrophe right around the corner.

The Banality of Evil in the Middle East

 by J.R. Turner, 2023

The people of Jewish faith have been killed, persecuted, harassed and ridiculed for over a millennia, and more. Why? Is it because they claim to be God’s chosen people? Is it because Jews sent Jesus to the Romans to be crucified? Is it because people believe the Jews unjustly displaced the Palestinian Arabs? Or perhaps because there are a disproportionate number of them who are affluent and prosperous? This hatred of Jews is perfectly illustrated by the name given to the land by the conquering Romans: Palestine. This was done to mock and humiliate them, because the ancient enemy and foe of the Jewish state were the Philistines (Latin, Palestina). Now, the rebellious Hebrews lived in a land named after their enemies. Apparently the Romans thought this was cute, but the name stuck over the ensuing millennia, but only to refer to the region.
