Today, we live in an era of “apostasy of philosophers,” especially Western philosophers, whose hypocrisy and bias toward the values ​​of hegemony and power rather than the values ​​of humanity and coexistence have been demonstrated. The events in Gaza have shown that the world, instead of criminalizing “anti-humanism,” is still criminalizing “anti-Semitism.”
We know with certainty that humanity is more comprehensive than Semitism, and that anti-humanism is an unforgivable crime. It is a very complex topic that reflects deep philosophical issues and different religious views on the concept of a “human being,” as well as the meaning of “humanity” at a time when the entire world is witnessing massacres directly.
The term "anti-humanism" initially referred to criticism or rejection of traditional theories that placed man as the “center of the universe” instead of God or nature, as is the case in the literature of humanism that appeared in Europe. However, today we employ the term “anti-humanism” to indicate the biased view in dealing with humans, and the division of human beings into those who deserve to live in dignity and those who do not deserve to live at all. In the custom of contemporary Western philosophers, most of whom are Jewish, man is considered to be the only Jew who is qualified by God to be a master and honorable, while the Gentiles, in the biblical sense, were created to be slaves, masters, and servants.
This seems clear in the philosophies of Levinas, who declared that if he had to choose between philosophy and Judaism, he would inevitably choose Judaism.
Michel Foucault focused on how power and knowledge shape the human self, accusing authorities throughout history of being hostile to humanity through the logic of oppression and subjugation. Accordingly, the human being is the product of certain historical and cultural transformations, which throughout history have produced the master and the servant, or the tormentor on earth, the blessed and the honored.
It seems that Jacques Derrida himself (of Jewish origin) criticized these fixed and absolute concepts of identity and self, pointing out that everything is in a state of continuous flow and change, just like the movement of river water. He believes that anti-humanism is practiced by the enemies of humanity.
But the most important thing is what was written by Gilles Deleuze, who championed the idea of ​​open humanity and supported the Palestinian cause. He focused on the idea of ​​“desire machines” and considered that humans are part of complex networks of thorny relationships and complex desires, and that anti-humanism is a project based on the desire to conquer, dominate, and control (Megalotymus).
Anti-humanism must be an alternative to all contexts proposed at the global level because it pushes us to rethink the relationship between ethics and politics. “Anti-humanism” most often stems from the dominant political discourse, and therefore we call, through this academic platform, to rethink the relationship between ethics and politics, evaluating the relationship between politics and ethics, and returning politics to the ethical question as defined by Plato, Aristotle, and most scholars, while generalizing it to all other beings, not just humans as a race and species.
The "crisis of anti-humanity" also reflects a crisis of double standards. International institutions have so far been unable to stop the rogue entity from its brutal and sadistic practices, as this rogue entity has now proudly declared that the residents of Gaza are not human beings but animals, and that it is permissible to kill them, starve them, and displace them, killing their children, raping their women, and stealing their land and money.
This uncivilized behavior reflects that the Zionists believe that there is no human being on earth except the Jewish human being, and that the rest of human beings are mere beings without dignity, who do not deserve to live.
Damn you, you philosophers, who have apostatized from values ​​and from the purpose of humanity. You have emerged from history by triumphing over your repressed and suppressed desires and demonstrated your clear loyalty to the forces of darkness and blood.
