Middle East, terrorism, Hamas and religious fanaticism

But I will refer to the fanaticism of Hamas terrorist group that incites Islamic Jihad (armed action with a view to its expansion, as if it were a duty and obligation) has to do with an identity vacuum, it would seem that it needs conflict, frustrations and permanent hatred to consolidate itself.

The fanatic is capable of immolating himself for his “legitimate right” to defend his illiberal, reactionary and dogmatic ideas.

There is a failure in social commitment.

Fanatic thinking is only one, an idea, there is no diversity, can produce the worst such as the constant appearance of the death drive, producing a general malaise. It is a closed thought, differences or nuances are not allowed, which is why attacking the freedom of the different Other is for the vindictive fanatic.

The fanatic does not regret his ideas, he is only interested in his own lineage, and transmitting the need for the rest of society (whether Jews or Christians) to repair the error of not being like him.

Only the fanatic like him has the right to exist. It takes the stigmatization of the civilian people of Gaza for its own benefit, and confiscates all foreign aid, whether from Europe or a neighboring Arab country, (food, water, medicine, etc.), producing a cycle of hatred of the Other, which does not share , nor does he want to live with his extremist ideas.

The violence that nourishes the fanatic leaves him confused, unable to control his macabre thoughts of the end of the world.

Dominating, this permanent abuse is an attempt to show power and in this way calls for the establishment of a global Islamic Caliphate, where anyone who does not submit is an infidel and must therefore be destroyed.

He religious fanaticism but also a politician from the terrorist group Hamasseems to have no opposition, since the society indifferent to fanaticism is precisely the safe crop that preaches non-confrontation and, on the contrary, demands that the State of Israel (subjugated on October 7, 2023) withdraw its forces and endure without retaliation.

This fanatical dogma destroys the ability to think about that reality that was clearly seen in all the media, we saw how they were killed at random, we saw rapes, abuse, murder of children, babies and the capture of hostages. This dogma is what wants to destroy a reality that is the State of Israel declared a Sovereign Nation since 1948 with the positive vote of the majority of Nations.

We know that the truth is a binding truth and cannot be paralyzed only on one side. Not being a dogmatic fanatic is establishing a bridge between the known and the unknown. It implies tolerating the other, living with the other despite the doubt, the uncertainty of what happened in order to have the possibility of creating a container for new content, that is, deploying learning so as not to repeat it.

I say this because fanaticism does not admit any provisional positions, since nothing can change those radical ideas that according to them are the correct ones, however, showing a hole that paralyzes reflection.

Projective identification or omnipotence?

There are preachers of death who have sophisticated communication networks and enormous freedom to collect funds and indoctrinate young people who will become suicide-murderers.

And how does this type of omnipotent identification occur?

The omnipotence It occurs in the primary process, is of archaic domination in the human being and is generally a product of the preverbal, the gestural, the motor, the vocal, the auditory, the olfactory, and the tactile.

This is how we can see how the young militias of the terrorist group Hamas were almost raised and educated with those omnipotent feelings, where the subject must freeze their unpleasant affections by uttering empty speeches, full of hatred and denying any other type of ideological construction.

From a young age they are indoctrinated and this is how murderers appear – Muslim suicides, called Shahid (martyrs) who are a monstrous creation of recent decades, who violate the precepts of the Koran, as affirmed by their scholars and wise men of Islam. But there are many Arab countries that celebrate them as martyrs and have unfortunately fallen into an abysmal confusion where they do not know how to distinguish between good and evil.

These fans they distort the Scripture, relying on positions that suit them, to satisfy hatred, ignorance and their delusions. They consider themselves irrefutable owners where we observe, as the former psychoanalyst W. Bion would say, not only do they suffer from arrogance but this attitude contains stupidity and even madness.

The suicide bomber is a new weapon of extraordinary power, as it is like a tank of mass destruction of civilians. He does not act on his own initiative, he responds to an organization full of animosity, resentment, that trains him, motivates him and then even rewards his family.

These types of subjects bond, suffer from their emotional instability, their emotional lack, longing to be romantic heroes with narcissistic impulses.

I believe that in order to put an end to all these massacres, the UN, countries free of action and thought must have enough courage to stop being a grotesque forum of hypocrisy and stop these criminal attacks by the Hamas terrorists as they did on the tragic 7 October.

This is a concern that deserves global attention, urgently seeking and finding an effective remedy so as not to be complicit in the contempt for life.
