 #TheBanalityOfEvil #Netanyahu vs #Arendt

Ah, what a dizzying irony! Are we not, with Netanyahu, facing this same "banality of evil" that Arendt had dissected, but reinvented for the era of social media and permanent spectacle? Look at him, this master of the normalization of the extraordinary! Isn't it fascinating how he transforms the exception into routine, the unthinkable into administrative procedure? Where Eichmann spoke of "solutions", he speaks of "historical necessity". Same implacable mechanism, same sanitized rhetoric. "Safety first", he repeats like a bureaucratic mantra. Isn't this the same mechanism that Arendt had uncovered? This prodigious capacity to transform horror into statistics, tragedy into powerpoint, suffering into press releases. What a masterful metamorphosis! Here he is, offering us the spectacle of a modern Eichmann, no longer wielding administrative stamps but tweets and televised sound bites. Isn't this the same process of dehumanization, but in high definition? "We have no choice," he hammers home. Listen to this sentence! Isn't this the perfect echo of the "Befehl ist Befehl" (orders are orders) that so fascinated Arendt? The banality of evil has simply been updated, moving from the triplicate form to the millimeter-perfect media briefing. And here we are, stunned spectators of this new incarnation of the bureaucrat of the apocalypse. But this time, the suit is better tailored, the speech more polished, the justification more sophisticated. Isn't this the true triumph of this banality of evil version 2.0? Having made the unthinkable not only acceptable, but televised?
