Habermas’ incoherence and moral decline Opinions

…and Jurgen Habermas fell in horror, just as other great intellectuals and philosophers throughout history fell when they abandoned all the principles and values ​​that they preached, which they raved about in their books and lectures, and those who were fascinated by them repeated them until they became in the ranks of heavenly books, and only the perishing departed from them, and only one who succumbed to them. ignorant.

Jürgen Habermas – along with Nicola Dietlhoff, professor of political science, Rainer Forrest, the well-known philosopher, and Professor Klaus Günther – issued a statement about what is happening in the Gaza Strip, in which they condemned “the massacre committed by Hamas against Israel with the intention of annihilating Jewish life in general.”

I do not want to dispute the scientific and cognitive status of Jürgen Habermas, whom many say: He has become – with his knowledge in philosophy and sociology – the conscience of modern Germany. I am not capable of that as a specialist or scholar, and it is not appropriate for me to exaggerate what my skills fall short of. .

Habermas and those with him say in their statement: “The current situation caused by the brutality of the unprecedented attack launched by Hamas, and Israel’s response to it, has led to a series of moral and political positions and protest demonstrations.”

West supremacy

Let us stop at the phrase: “moral and political positions and protest demonstrations.” Let us ask the philosopher – who is almost a hundred years old – whether his understanding and definition of ethics here is consistent with the pillars of his critical scientific philosophy, which demands impartiality in examining all situations, issues and issues in a precise manner that includes all parties and covers the length of time without biasing one party at the expense of another?

Habermas and his companions jumped in time to preach to us and say: “There are some principles that should not be in dispute, and they are principles that constitute the basis of a thoughtful and reasoned solidarity with Israel and the Jews and Jewish men and women in Germany.”

Therefore, O great philosopher of our time, they are principles that should not be subject to dispute, in Germany at least, as the full text of the statement suggests. Where does this relate to the principles of social critical philosophy that you have filled us with in your books? Where is the critical comprehensiveness of research? Where is the call to ensure that all points of view are represented, and to discuss them thoroughly before issuing any judgment or evaluation?

Here the question arises: Is it right or permissible for the scientist to impose on all minds not to investigate this or that matter, but to investigate other things that he sees? This is arrogance itself, the arrogance of a scientist when his moral compass goes astray, and when he tries to cover up his cowardice with a brave courage that trembles from a shameful past, or a sin brewing within his soul.

The West and its scholars have practiced this transcendent superiority in the past and in the present, so it is not surprising that today four of their greatest philosophers and scholars impose it on all Germans, and indeed on the entire world.

The historical extension of the issue

Habermas, and those with him, jumped in time and ignored the historical extension of the Palestinian issue, as if there was no occupation of Palestine brought about by the West 75 years ago. Thus, in their dictionaries and concepts, there is no right for the one whose land was occupied to defend it and seek to liberate it, whether it is long or short.

Habermas, and those who signed with him, do not hide their motive for defending Israel and justifying its crimes in Gaza. It is nothing but the fear of being accused of anti-Semitism. They say in their statement: “The democratic spirit of the Federal Republic of Germany, which is based on the recognition of human dignity, is linked to a political culture that considers life Judaism and Israel’s right to exist are fundamental elements that deserve special protection, recalling the mass crimes previously committed during the Nazi era.

So, it was Nazism that committed the atrocities of the Holocaust in gas ovens and torture camps, in the countries occupied by Nazi Germany, not in Palestine and Gaza. When Nazi forces invaded Europe in 1939, Jürgen Habermas was a ten-year-old boy. Had Germany not been defeated in the war, Habermas might have become a member of the Nazi Party, as was Carl Schmitt, the author of “Political Theology.”

But the Nazis committed atrocities other than the Holocaust. It is enough for us, as an example, that more than 20 million people were killed in Russia by German fire in World War II. Or shouldn’t Jürgen and his companions bring up these unprecedented mass crimes and find a justification for what the Russian forces are doing in Ukraine, so that NATO – of which Germany is a member – does not expand to the borders of Russia? Although I do not defend Russia, which is committing heinous crimes in Syria today.

If the arrogant West had a conscience, it would recall its atrocities against the Jews over the centuries, and remember that their ghettos were in European capitals and cities, and not in Palestine and Muslim countries. If the West respected human dignity, which Habermas and his group talked about, it would always bring up the crimes of racial genocide committed by the white man in the New World in the West, and in Australia in the East! All the world’s encyclopedias may not contain such examples of the atrocities of the West.

When Habermas and his companions – who are at the top of the scientific and cognitive pyramid in the West – ignore the lessons of history, this is a moral fall in itself, by the will of the person who falls into it, if you will, or against his will. So what if the morally fallen people this time are a group of senior scholars and thinkers in their countries and cultures, who deny everything they wrote and said? Fearing charges of anti-Semitism?

The victors of World War II, and those who spread the accusation of anti-Semitism, succeeded in taming the defeated in Germany and Japan, in particular, and here Habermas and his companions are falling into the cages of moral accusation like helpless prey.

The West wants and plans to inflict such a fate on our nation, starting with Gaza and the West Bank first. Yesterday, Benjamin Netanyahu called for a fundamental cultural change in the Gaza Strip after the war in which his entity fell.

But our nation is difficult to fall, and the Qur’an is recited and the call to prayer is raised. Ask our peoples who refuse to forget Palestine and accept Israel. If some of us fall into the abyss of decline and failure, the nation rises on the shoulders of those who have memorized the Book and wakes up to the sound of the call to prayer, something that Habermas and his group do not know or realize.
