The Gaps of Western Civilization: Peoples Above, Peoples Below

Well, the Western media did when it showed us all those who declared that human beings are not the same. The media is the mirror of the political, social and psychological situation on the ground, which is sometimes hidden and revealed by crises. It is really a terrible intellectual and moral dilemma that is almost a title for this European stage in this civilized period.

The media published the dirty Western washing in public, when it opened the auction of racial specifications for European peoples, in light of the war between Russia and Ukraine, and preferred them over the rest of the peoples of the universe, because they have blue eyes and blond hair, are smart, educated, have cars, are sure of their identity and have a clear past and are not terrorists. . He also re-adopted the old division of the world, consisting of European civilized societies in particular, which could in no case be touched by wars.

And other uncivilized peoples, with black eyes, black hair and brown skin, are not European, but Middle Eastern and African, uncertain of their identity or without identity, and their past is unclear, and perhaps they were terrorists. These characteristics qualify them to be fuel for wars at any time and place, without That the civilized world care about them. As for the migrations, they entered the European auction as well, and they were divided into high-quality migrations, which Europe had to spread the earth for them with flowers, because they “look like us”, in the words of the British commentator in the newspaper “The Daily Telegraph”, so the recipients line up on both sides to welcome them, after the They prepared for them food, medicine, clothes, cars, and places that were prepared in advance for them. They were also hastily enacted laws and legislation that allow them to reside, work and educate. As for the other migrations, they are of a lower quality. Europeans have to close their borders, and put barbed wire and police dogs in their way, and work to hinder them becomes a duty that must be done by hand, foot, tongue and heart, and that is the weakest duty, so the court acquitted that TV reporter The Hungarian woman, who was kicking migrants, including a man who was carrying his child, knocked him to the ground to prevent him from entering the border. And last month, the Greek border guards forced the refugees to take off their clothes and returned them to the border with Turkey on foot in the bitter cold weather, which caused the death of 12 of them. Certainly, what we have heard of racist statements in the Western media, which are not slips of the tongue, and do not require justification and apology by those who spoke about them on satellite channels, whether they were media professionals or European politicians, are confirmed indications of institutional racism, which clearly indicates that it is It is too early to declare Europe and the West in general as post-race societies. And if times of crisis are the stone with which people's metals are rubbed and shown for what they are, then the recent crisis between Russia and Ukraine proved that the West is living in a dangerous intellectual moment, the moment of living with a past that never dies.

What is most astonishing about the Ukrainian crisis is that it released terminology that was forbidden to other peoples, while becoming heroic European values ​​to be proud of before the world. We began to hear about the right of resistance of the Ukrainians against the invaders, about the high patriotic symbolism that deserves medals for the one who blew himself up with a Russian tank, about the air and land bridge that Europe carried out to transfer weapons to the resistance of the Ukrainian people and the army, and calls for Europeans to volunteer in the fight in Ukraine against the Russian army gaseous; These are all undisputed rights of the Ukrainian people, but they are not exclusive to people with white skin, blue eyes and blonde hair. It is the right of all peoples who suffer the same fate. But the blindness of double standards always displaces the western viewpoint, so when the Vietnamese were fighting Japan, America and Europe called them resistance, and when they fought the Americans they were called terrorists. The same thing happened and the same accusation was attached to the Arab Mujahideen in Afghanistan. The accusation of terrorism has spread to the Palestinian, Iraqi and Syrian resistance fighters, all our brothers in the Maghreb during the French occupation, and other peoples in Africa and Latin America. The reason for this is that the West believes itself to be exceptional nations, and the same values ​​may not apply to others. Therefore, the writer of these lines will not forget that position, as he stood before an officer of the American occupation forces in Baghdad in 2005, after they arrested him on charges of inciting his students at the university to Resisting the invaders, then the officer ordered his assistant, saying, imprison him in the toilet for three nights, and let our soldiers urinate on him, in order to remove the dirty values ​​of resistance from the head of this rotten Arab.

The tragic fate that people face on Ukrainian soil will not only affect the Ukrainians, but also everyone who is on the map of this country, as the missile does not distinguish between this and that, nor the plane, nor the missile, nor the tank. It must be a right to get rid of facing this fate guaranteed to all. But the shame that we have seen is that priority is given to one group over another when riding the means of transport heading to the borders with other countries, to escape the fighting, and that there is racial discrimination at the height of this humanitarian crisis that exudes tragedy. Does civilization mean that our measure of the humanity of the other should be governed by his car that is similar to ours, his level of education and the color of his skin? And why do so many Westerners remain immersed in what they believe are their inherited privileges, practicing abhorrent racism against other peoples? Isn't civilization the successful communication between people of different races, colors and religions?

Individual and collective discrimination by ethnic or religious affiliation, or by personal dimensions, does not in any way cancel out the existence of the other, who is also distinguished by his individual values ​​and ethnic or religious affiliations, and by his personal dimensions, and may not dissolve, melt or threaten him.
