Erdoğan, take note: the best response to the anti-Israel attack at the UN
The article analyzes the wave of condemnations against Israel at the UN General Assembly as part of a global trend of cynical use of moral language. The author argues that in the face of moral inversion and the emptying of concepts, the holiday of Sukkot offers an alternative of historical memory and faith in the righteousness of the path as a condition for the survival of the Jewish people.
The article describes the 81st session of the UN General Assembly as a platform for one-sided propaganda against Israel. Outgoing Secretary-General António Guterres accused Israel of 'ethnic cleansing' in Judea and Samaria, Brazilian President Lula da Silva described the events in Gaza as 'murderous consciousness', and Turkish President Erdoğan called Gaza a 'concentration camp'. The King of Jordan called for considering sanctions, and the Emir of Qatar and French President Macron joined the condemnations. The author analyzes this phenomenon as a moral inversion in which concepts such as 'human rights', 'Holocaust', and 'concentration camps' are emptied of their content and recruited as political weapons against Israel. In contrast, he presents the holiday of Sukkot as an ideological alternative emphasizing historical memory and faith in the righteousness of the path as a condition for national survival. The article concludes with a call for steadfastness in the face of international pressures, relying on cultural and spiritual support.
