Combined reports from The Wall Street Journal and The Jerusalem Post have highlighted the growing passivity and double standards of various United Nations organizations in the face of Middle Eastern terrorist groups. The articles point out how international bureaucracy imposes asymmetric scrutiny on sovereign states that defend themselves, while granting political and narrative concessions to factions that use the civilian population as human shields.
Of The Wall Street Journal / The Jerusalem Post
"The UN has transformed its founding mandate to preserve peace into a bureaucratic machinery that, in practice, ties the hands of democracies under siege. Demanding symmetric proportionality from a State that fights an enemy that explicitly seeks its total annihilation is not international law, it is a suicide pact."
Editorial rereading
The sociological and moral analysis of the behavior of international forums reveals a deep crisis in the very notion of justice. The so-called 'international community' has succumbed to a diplomatic relativism where the illegitimate aggressor and the legitimate defender are equated in the same balance of responsibilities.
From the perspective of Catholic anthropology and natural law, the State has the inalienable duty to protect the lives of its citizens against terrorism, which is intrinsically perverse because it directly attacks human dignity and the natural order. The UN's position, by demanding 'containment' of those who are victims of indiscriminate and brutal attacks, reverses the basic moral principle of self-defense. This asymmetry is not a diplomatic miscalculation, but the result of a postmodern worldview that rejects moral absolutes and prefers to appease terror rather than firmly condemn evil.
