Bastard or otherwise

An attempt at a shot: the Palestinian authority (PA) is pointing fingers at the resistance factions for their “adventurous behavior on October 7th.” 

“Adventurous.” Maybe because “the struggle for liberation” is an unexplored territory for a “policeman.” Anyway revolutionary-turned-policeman Arafat was the coincidence that gave the materialist a choice: to realize that liberation and state-hood do not coincide. And those who do not see it, maybe chose not to.

A Palestinian authority, without a Palestinian state since that coincidence. If you have the former do you need the latter?  If you ever wondered why a world recognized “flag” and “national anthem” for any other state/authority, it is because that is all there is to give the illusion that “state” and “independence” can ever go hand in hand. 

Now we have a long list of questions that can be answered through more questions. If asked why the harmony between the PA and Israel the response can be: why not? If there are no aspirations for “state-hood” within the PA, why would there be? If it is missing some “key elements” as compared to any other state, so what? The rule-book, any rule-book, gets more and more lax as the distance from the order of equality increases, to quote a philosopher. 

What is the difference between Israel and the PA? Nothing. For the linguistic constituents of the “state” such as “nation-state,” “minority,” “majority,” “indigenous,” and many more, were all conceived on the night “rapefest” flirted with “mass-murder.”  It is not that the PA aims to annihilate the human in Palestine. One can make the argument no state ever aims for the disposable-human. But that argument is only sound if the state was founded on the latter. 

As for why “rapefest” comes before “mass-murder” it is because how else would the utopia of worms sustain? Bastard or otherwise, a corpse is a corpse.
