Gilad Atzmon on Athens vs Jerusalem

The best way to grasp the dichotomy between Athens and Jerusalem is to understand that Jerusalem has replaced ethics with litigation. Jerusalem is the institutional lack of ethics. It mimics ethics deploying a set of Mitzvoth.

In Jerusalem a genocide is kosher as long as you get away with it. How do they get away with it? They will do whatever it takes. They will dismantle the ICC ability to operate, they will threaten the prosecutors, if needed, they will wipe out The Hague together with the UN.

Athenians fail to grasp Jerusalem until it is too late because Athenians project their own ethics. Humans find it very hard or even impossible to imagine an operation out of the ethical ‘box’. Even the worst criminal tend to sense guilt and empathy.

These two (guilt and empathy), are the exact elementary human features that we don’t find in Jerusalem.

Since the lack of empathy and guilt is widely considered a core and defining feature of psychopathy, we may have to reach the conclusion that we are dealing with a collective psychopathy.

I wish I was original here. Jesus realised it 2000 years ago. The Hebrew Prophets also saw it. The Jewish State is in big trouble right now because the whole of humanity is experiencing this epiphany right now…
