ISRAELFeeding the fire
Leila FarjamiJuly 16, 2006
As following the news on Israel’s attack against the Civilians of Lebanon (unarmed men, women, and children) and not particularly the Hezbollah!, like the rest of you, I wonder what they are attempting to accomplish. There’s absolutely no justification for the invasive and murderous acts of Israel (occupied Palestine, actually), but I could not help perceiving this catastrophe as an ancient psychological predicament: the victims have turned into victimizers.
From a psychological perspective, when an individual is victimized, three outcomes maybe rendered:
1. the victim continues being a victim if left untreated and the cycle of trauma continues
2. the victim turns into a victimizer committing the same or worse atrocities
3. the victim adopts an objective view of the self through processing the feelings of pain/rage/resentment, healing the wounds of trauma.
Many Israelis have obviously continued the path of Hitler, using the same earthly element of raging fire, they continue burning the innocent relying on their own bogus rationalizations. Of course, this time the fire is not in Nazi camps burning the Jews alive, but rather, the fire has been in civilian neighborhoods of Palestine and now in Lebanon.
As the symbolism of reducing human beings into ashes through heat and inescapable suffocation continues, I can no longer discern between the first person who lit a match and his successors who continue feeding the fire. Can you? Comment
