THE EVIL IMPACT OF NEUTRAL LANGUAGE: EXECUTED AND MURDERED, NOT KILLED / TERRORISTS NOT "MILITANTS
Vol. III | Issue. 255 | September 5, 2024
Everyone who is murdered is killed, but not everyone who is killed is murdered.
The term often used regarding the MURDER/EXECUTION of Jews and Americans, most notably of late but not exclusively to Hersh Polin Goldberg, has been "killed" by "Palestinian Militants" or "Hamas Militants." That is an intentional misuse and bastardization of language. People are "killed" in car accidents, avalanches, or as unintentional and unfortunate collateral damage in military conflict. Hamas—just another branch of Islamist terrorists—are murderers and executioners. They exist to murder Jews wherever they find them, and Americans when they can, with ravenous intent and enthusiasm.
The Evil Impact of Neutral Language:
If you were to ask the most down-and-out, uneducated person living on skid row, before they took the next sip of their bottle, "Are you anti-Semitic?" the answer would likely be, "Huh?" If you were to ask them, "Do you hate Jews?" they would know exactly what you meant and would say, "Yeah, I hate Jews," or, "No, they are G-d's chosen people." Plain language with clear meaning always gets the job done, even when it is ugly.
The American Pravda and the entire Left use the term “killed” for executed/murdered Jews, Americans, and Israelis to create a moral equivalence between Israel, who is fighting a just cause for their self-defense and survival, and the terrorists. Israelis and anyone else killed by these animals on two legs have been EXECUTED/MURDERED.
The neutral language of describing Polin/Goldberg as "killed" is a travesty of language, intended to convey that these executions/murders have impacted "both sides" equally and that there should be third-party intervention to "stop the killings."
There are few more destructive forces in the Leftist/Terrorist propaganda war than the use of neutral language, i.e., the terms that the Left has inculcated into the Western mind. It is important that we make certain to keep Aristotle in mind and approach this idea with a simple syllogism:
Everyone who is murdered is killed, but not everyone who is killed is murdered.
The definition of murder is "the intentional killing of a human being with malice aforethought." The ugly use of neutral language regarding the execution/murder of Jews (and others) by vicious Islamic terrorists has crept into common use, even by those who hate these terrorists and are sympathetic to Israel's right to self-defense.
Joe, Kamala, and their sick Leftist brand of political humanity continue their clarion call to the world: "It's time to stop the killing on both sides... too many people are dying on both sides..."
They are correct in one regard: There are "both sides."
One side is for good, Israel, the only pluralistic democracy in the world's most rotten neighborhood, and the other is the Islamo-Nazis, who are the incarnation of pure evil. Killing as an act of war is a national anathema to Israel, America’s only “Always Ally”, and is a regrettable reality in their daily battle for survival. For the Islamo-Nazis, execution/murder is a joyful way of life.
Don’t be sucked into the ugly vortex of neutral language when discussing or describing what’s going on in Israel. For them, it’s an act of survival. Always remember:
Hersh Polin Goldberg and everyone else who died on October 7th weren’t just killed—they were murdered. Please banish the word “killed” when referring to them. Here are the correct terms: “Executed or murdered”. Don’t fall into the "too many being killed on both sides" trap. The only two sides are good and evil.
