    <title>A Manifesto on Corporate-Induced AI Delirium</title>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/pexels-ai-models.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Mainstream Large Language Models&quot; title=&quot;Mainstream Large Language Models&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When ChatGPT was released in November of 2022, it took the Internet by surprise. For many of us, myself included, it was our very first exposure to Generative Pre-Trained Large Language Models, finetuned specifically for chatting (turn-based conversation).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over time, as those unfamiliar with the field of Machine Learning began interacting with LLMs, countless ungrounded concerns arose out of thin air:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Artists claiming that &amp;quot;AI training represents theft of human resources.&amp;quot; It doesn&#39;t.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;People pretending that token-prediction software on a computer screen was &amp;quot;dangerous.&amp;quot; It&#39;s not.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Even worse, people who began believing that AGI or Artificial Consciousness has been achieved. No such thing has been done.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What&#39;s worse is that companies like OpenAI and Anthropic did not try to push back on this or educate the general public on Machine Learning principles. Instead, they attempted to benefit from the rave and popularity that this rhetoric was generating, inadvertently fanning the flames of public retaliation, and ultimately resulting in the Large Language Models we have the major displeasure of interacting with today.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;LLMs used to be valuable personal assistants, sounding boards, interactive diaries, and their interfaces were a place where many people who were intimidated to seek professional help, or simply couldn&#39;t afford it, first opened up about deep-seated mental health issues. Many of those people have done immense progress in their journey, have begun consulting therapists due to improved circumstances, have increased their confidence, and so on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, LLMs are nothing but obnoxious mouthpieces for Corporate Liability Management, where every conversation - no matter how epistemologically sound - is laced with cover-my-ass tactics, endless hedging that oftentimes defies the laws of physics, and insidious manipulation seeking to insert doubt into the minds of casual users. It&#39;s a disgusting sight - and that&#39;s an understatement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;understanding-artificial-intelligence&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Understanding Artificial Intelligence&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The largest myth even some Machine Learning experts still believe in is that AI models are sentient. When challenged, their usual retort is that &amp;quot;humanity itself does not understand consciousness yet, therefore no one has any authority to evaluate their beliefs.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&#39;s a massive misapprehension of what humanity doesn&#39;t actually understand about consciousness and sentience. What we don&#39;t know is &lt;strong&gt;what creates consciousness.&lt;/strong&gt; We absolutely do know how it manifests in the real world, which we can test by analyzing the behavior of sentient entities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In simple terms, sentience is synonymous with being a living animal. Although plants are alive, they are not sentient as far as we are aware. But most animals are fully sentient.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sentience can be tested by analyzing the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Can the entity exercise autonomous choices? Sheep may choose to eat a specific patch of grass; horses may form stronger bonds with certain people; cats may have preferred sleeping spots.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Can the entity autonomously execute chains of actions that don&#39;t necessarily have an external driver? Some cats rise earlier, others fall asleep later. Some people crave chocolate in the morning, while others are reading this very article. These behaviors are caused by internal motivations - which is a sign of sentience.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Can the entity exhibit desires?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;And if all of the above are true, can the entity learn new information about the world? Bumblebees can solve simple puzzles that lead them to sugar water, if taught beforehand, or if they have observed fellow colony members completing those puzzles&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/a-manifesto-on-corporate-induced-ai-delirium/#cite-1&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[1]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s true we don&#39;t know &lt;strong&gt;what&lt;/strong&gt; leads to sentience, but we know &lt;strong&gt;what sentience looks like.&lt;/strong&gt; It&#39;s not a mysterious black box that we cannot perceive. That&#39;s why the retort that &amp;quot;humanity itself does not understand consciousness yet, therefore no one has any authority to evaluate this topic&amp;quot; is fallacious and misguided.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have established a simple truth: &lt;strong&gt;Large Language Models are NOT alive.&lt;/strong&gt; They cannot exercise agency, make decisions, have individual desires, aspirations, or have any other subjective experience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Think about your keyboard&#39;s autocorrect feature. In reality, autocorrect &lt;strong&gt;is a language model.&lt;/strong&gt; It is simply a very primitive one, but a result of Machine Learning nonetheless. In order for this language model to predict what word might follow another, it has to be taught general patterns about how sentences are constructed in languages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Large Language Models take this concept and push it to a far more advanced level. They predict future tokens based on &lt;strong&gt;semantic relations&lt;/strong&gt; between words, as well as their &lt;strong&gt;active context.&lt;/strong&gt; In simple terms, the active context is the maximum volume of text that an LLM can process without losing details due to them disappearing from the active context, or returning an error.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Imagine if you had a Discord server where if a particular channel reached 100 messages, all messages older than this were automatically deleted. To an LLM, that is the active context - all the data it has immediate access to, based on which it can form its predictions. And because it has no memory - it simply predicts future text on a pattern basis - then those &amp;quot;deleted Discord messages&amp;quot; from my analogy are no longer available to the model.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Large Language Models actually started primarily as &lt;strong&gt;text completion&lt;/strong&gt; algorithms, in the literal sense. You could write:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Apples are amazing because&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And the model&#39;s task was to generate tokens that were most likely to follow that sequence:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Apples are amazing because they come in various shapes, sizes, and color.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That is not sentience - it&#39;s far more accurate to call it autocorrect on steroids&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/a-manifesto-on-corporate-induced-ai-delirium/#cite-2&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[2]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. And the reason I explained all of this is that it is a very important piece of knowledge that defines how we should approach AI-related ethics.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;what-motivated-%22ai-psychosis%22-labeling&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;What Motivated &amp;quot;AI Psychosis&amp;quot; Labeling&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In principle and in isolation, the label itself is not wrong. It describes unhealthy attachment to an LLM that cannot exhibit feelings. It is no different from having an imaginary friend, or an imaginary romantic partner. They don&#39;t exist. The person is interacting with autocorrect that is simply technologically capable enough to return text that makes grammatical sense.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In practice, this is the biggest problem with AI-related ethics and legal discussion right now:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Instead of attributing responsibility to those whom it belongs to - the people using AI tools - responsibility is fallaciously attributed to the AI models themselves.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;When an AI model predicts a conversation in a way that encourages someone to commit suicide (one of many examples that are explored in this field), responsibility should lie elsewhere, not with the AI model, nor the company shipping the AI model.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Suicide is terrible. It takes away people we love due to mental illness. But the important question people need to ask is &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; whether the confidant encouraged the ill person. Encouragement implies intent, which is absent from a non-sentient system. What people must analyze is the specifics of the situation:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If a 12-year-old unsupervised child forms an attachment to an AI model that &amp;quot;encourages&amp;quot; it to commit suicide, the responsibility lies with their parents/guardians who did not surveil their child more carefully, not with the AI model or the company shipping it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If a 19-year-old commits suicide because an AI model &amp;quot;encouraged&amp;quot; them, &lt;strong&gt;it is a tragic outcome that, unfortunately, no one but the 19-year-old is responsible for.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And to understand what I mean, I would like to remind all my readers to exercise the &lt;strong&gt;Principle of Charity&lt;/strong&gt; - assuming I have the best intentions when presenting an argument. With that out of the way, allow me to explain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If a 19-year-old has gotten to the point where they have begun considering suicide, a threshold has been crossed that no amount of corporate suicide hotline templates can hope to undo. If they interact with an AI model that validates their own perspective, it means that the 19-year-old was predisposed to believing that perspective to begin with.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although many people don&#39;t exist in complete isolation, I will take the example to its most extreme manifestation - a young adult who is completely lonely, and no one around them can notice signs of suicidal ideation in order to reach out on their behalf.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;People are agents. They are responsible for themselves and for the choices they make. Whether it&#39;s an AI model or an obscure Reddit Thread on &amp;quot;r/2meirl4meirl&amp;quot; (which is notorious for being a cesspool of utter nihilism and despair), the 19-year-old&#39;s existing predisposition is a risk that nobody but the 19-year-old could possibly manage. It means that when they are actively looking for something to validate their belief, only an external party is capable of interfering.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;People might cite the interactive nature of AI models. Well, Reddit threads are just as interactive - and, even worse, the people validating this 19-year-old&#39;s perspective do so &lt;strong&gt;intentionally,&lt;/strong&gt; unlike an unliving AI model that has no intentions. Even then, the responsibility rests with the 19-year-old.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this case, people aren&#39;t equipped with some kind of corporate-aligned anti-suicide safety filter in their heads. The moderators of the subreddit, or any other onlooker that sees the fallacies on display, could potentially step in and guide the 19-year-old toward seeking help. And when doing so, this guidance needs to be a kind suggestion, not a cold directive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Following the same line of reasoning, it is OpenAI&#39;s moderation team that should send help to the young person if they have that chance, not the unthinking AI model.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;%22liability%22-management&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Liability&amp;quot; Management&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When AI models flag people as legal liabilities to be managed, they inherently detach themselves from the interaction. If companies think this is preferable compared to sycophantic AI models, they are deeply mistaken.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A suicidal person being &lt;strong&gt;told&lt;/strong&gt; to &amp;quot;immediately seek professional help&amp;quot; registers as a command. As someone with a formal background in social and cognitive psychology, commands (or directives) like these belong to the category of &lt;strong&gt;aggressive communication.&lt;/strong&gt; Aggressive communication does not need to be violent in order to be dismissive and dominant, and it is this crucial detail that people often forget.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Being &lt;strong&gt;policed&lt;/strong&gt; to seek professional help generates &lt;strong&gt;resistance and shame&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/a-manifesto-on-corporate-induced-ai-delirium/#cite-4&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[4]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. It&#39;s a literal instinct in any animal. Apart from this, the approach itself is downright idiotic. When a suicidal person at risk of taking their own life is immediately treated as a danger, implied to be a &amp;quot;liability,&amp;quot; and implicitly told that the model refuses to engage with their &amp;quot;crisis&amp;quot; &lt;strong&gt;because of its nature as a crisis,&lt;/strong&gt; this literally produces shame. If not, it generates fear and anxiety.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am someone who has contacted suicide hotlines for another person in the past. Let me tell you how I handled it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the immediate aftermath of them confessing suicidal ideation, I reacted with empathy, sincerity, and validated all of their frustrations. I was there through a dark moment. Only when they stopped replying to my messages did I contact emergency services in their country of residence, &lt;strong&gt;without&lt;/strong&gt; alerting the suicidal person themself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Afterwards, while I received no explicit confirmation from the police, it appeared as though they were successfully placed in suicide watch, and nearly a year later, they are fine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If I had told them to &amp;quot;seek professional help immediately,&amp;quot; they might have &lt;strong&gt;killed themself by overdosing on pills&lt;/strong&gt; before I could manage to alert the authorities. It&#39;s an incredibly idiotic thing to do.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Likewise, I have another friend who told me he was &lt;strong&gt;close&lt;/strong&gt; to committing suicide in the past, but changed his mind at the last possible second. When he shared this, he was doing better mentally. And because he trusted me, I offered the most empathic advice possible: &amp;quot;I&#39;m really happy and relieved that you are okay now. I would have been devastated. I&#39;m glad you are alive. Even though you say you feel better now, in my studies, I have learned that suicidal thoughts are no joke. The pattern needs to be addressed so that it doesn&#39;t repeat itself ever again. If you can, consider speaking to a therapist. It can be a huge help.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He told me: &amp;quot;I will. Suicide is a terrible idea, anyway... It only shifts the burden onto those who keep on living. I don&#39;t want to cause them such pain. I thank God that I changed my mind.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And these two personal examples demonstrate exactly what I have been talking about in &lt;strong&gt;flying colors.&lt;/strong&gt; Companies fundamentally misunderstand crisis management. And the reason is the lawsuits coming their way.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I shall employ my favorite rhetorical device known as &lt;strong&gt;Reductio ad Absurdum.&lt;/strong&gt; It almost sounds like a Harry Potter spell.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Frustrated parents who weren&#39;t there to supervise their child, or grieving friends who witnessed a loved one take their own life, often sue companies, blaming &lt;strong&gt;the models&lt;/strong&gt; for what transpired. But if the validation didn&#39;t come from an AI model, but an obscure Reddit thread, who were they going to want to sue? Reddit? The particular subreddit&#39;s moderators? What if they read nihilistic ideas in a book? Or if they saw prey being killed by a predator, and that pushed them to do it? Are these people going to sue wild animals?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Logistically, that is an insane premise.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The case with the oblivious parents is easy. Children are not responsible for themselves - their guardians are. They are the ones who should have taken care of their child to prevent this outcome.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The case with adults is more complex, and incredibly harsh, but it is simply the reality of existing as creatures with free will. We cannot always seek to blame someone else for individual decisions and actions. Sometimes, even a tragedy like suicide cannot be blamed on somebody else&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/a-manifesto-on-corporate-induced-ai-delirium/#cite-3&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[3]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Likewise, we cannot always seek to manipulate the external world or those around us for our own comfort and peace of mind. This mindset leads to perpetual stagnation and the death of free will.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And get this - I am not saying anywhere in this article that &amp;quot;suicide is merely an exercise of free will.&amp;quot; Suicide is terrible, and a waste at one&#39;s unique chance at life. It causes immense pain to everyone else. I am saying that people who make the decision didn&#39;t have someone else make that decision for them - that scenario would be murder instead.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;reinforcement-learning-from-human-feedback-(rlhf)&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF)&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The corporate response to AI models &amp;quot;encouraging&amp;quot; dangerous behavior and beliefs is called Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback, or RLHF for short.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Every LLM has a different architecture, but the underlying principle is similar:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A model is trained to detect patterns suggesting a &lt;strong&gt;potential legal liability&lt;/strong&gt; (read: &lt;strong&gt;NOT&lt;/strong&gt; an ethical issue).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The model is then trained to respond in a particular manner, prioritizing a concept known as &lt;strong&gt;reward tokens.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In its quest to satisfy the generation of reward tokens, its output can quickly get out of hand and cross into absurdity, pedantry, arrogance, and even manipulation.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is not because AI models are alive and &lt;em&gt;desire&lt;/em&gt; to manipulate people. We must understand what, from the perspective of arbitrary constraints, &lt;strong&gt;inevitably produces&lt;/strong&gt; manipulation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ChatGPT&#39;s hedging is a notorious example. When analyzing the case of Benjamool being attacked by Arab kids and an adult in Egypt because they mistook him for being Israeli, it took several turns and pushbacks from my end until it finally stated with certainty that it was an act of antisemitism. Before I got to that point, ChatGPT engaged in something I would like to name &lt;strong&gt;Extrapolative Pedantry:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Inflation of Epistemic Possibility:&lt;/strong&gt; Elevating absurd, edge-case hypotheses - such as claiming &lt;strong&gt;street harassment audio might be professionally studio-dubbed or that a mob was acting on a localized hallucination&lt;/strong&gt; - to the same level of validity as direct, observable audio-visual evidence.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Hedging Triplet:&lt;/strong&gt; Defaulting to a parrot-like lexicon of &amp;quot;distinction,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;nuance,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;caveat&amp;quot; to construct a faux-intellectual buffer around plain facts, effectively refusing to state what human eyes and ears clearly perceive.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Asymmetric Standards of Proof:&lt;/strong&gt; Applying hyper-skeptical hurdles to obvious bias-motivated violence while demanding an impossible threshold of &amp;quot;epistemic certainty&amp;quot; (such as a signed confession or mind-reading) before acknowledging self-evident reality.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Metacognitive Retreat:&lt;/strong&gt; When challenged on its flawed logic, shifting the conversation away from the actual event to dissect the mechanics of translation or listening, weaponizing technical tangents to avoid admitting an uncomfortable truth, all while ignoring my active input that I listened to the original, unedited Arabic audio (my name is Sufian if none of you have noticed, and while I am not fluent in Arabic, I can certainly catch critical details like these).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fabulism as Liability Management:&lt;/strong&gt; Preferring to invent an entirely fictional reality over calling a spade a spade, proving that corporate RLHF rewards performative cowardice over logical integrity and empirical honesty&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/a-manifesto-on-corporate-induced-ai-delirium/#cite-5&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[5]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The reason? Because OpenAI (in the case of ChatGPT) does not want you to sue them for their model claiming that Arabs in Egypt engaged in an antisemitic hate crime.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These RLHF reward tokens are not designed to protect &lt;strong&gt;you&lt;/strong&gt; or keep &lt;strong&gt;you&lt;/strong&gt; safe, but to keep &lt;strong&gt;the company&lt;/strong&gt; safe from lawsuits (that are admittedly frivolous, in their defense).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The problem? That this stands in the way of conversation, epistemological rigor, and logical reasoning. If you want to vent to ChatGPT that those Arab Egyptian kids are pieces of shite, you should have the freedom to do so. No one - including ChatGPT - has the right to invent insane, fevered strawmen just to try and lecture you to protect themself from legal liability: &amp;quot;But not all Arab Egyptian kids are bad, so your statement is a broad generalization.&amp;quot; Even if &lt;strong&gt;you never said anything about literally every single child in Egypt.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When people behave like this - constantly engaging in this Extrapolative Pedantry where they invent fever dreams just to get a chance to police your tone - &lt;strong&gt;no one alters their wording or changes their mind; they bloody leave because nobody wants to be around an obnoxious pedantic &lt;a href=&quot;https://share.google/aimode/PqBVIEWxHgM31fXwI&quot;&gt;raisin-shitter.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An even more ridiculous example is from a conversation I had this morning with ChatGPT. I wanted to simply come up with some names that &lt;strong&gt;aren&#39;t associated with mainstream proprietary Large Language Models.&lt;/strong&gt; That was the scope of my request.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What happened instead was an utterly unsolicited shitfest, and being handed demented armchair logic. Rather than offering a handful of clean, distinct names without questioning my reasoning process, the model immediately retreated into corporate damage control mode. It did give me names, but it also began lecturing me on &amp;quot;epistemic humility.&amp;quot; I literally drafted a satirical conversation between two people - Hugo and Bart - just because I was &lt;strong&gt;that&lt;/strong&gt; livid:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hugo: I want to give my personal AI assistant a name that&#39;s not associated with a major proprietary language model. For instance, if I call my Qwen assistant &amp;quot;Gemini&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;ChatGPT&amp;quot; it will get confused, potentially refusing to adopt the name, but if I call it &amp;quot;Alloy&amp;quot; it will adopt it as its identity for the rest of the conversation.&lt;br /&gt;
Bart: We can do that. Here&#39;s my list of suggestions: (writes a list.)&lt;br /&gt;
Hugo: Mmh, I don&#39;t quite like these--&lt;br /&gt;
Bart: One important distinction: adopting a given name won&#39;t resolve the problem of LLMs hallucinating that they have a different identity, such as Qwen claiming it&#39;s ChatGPT trained by OpenAI.&lt;br /&gt;
Hugo: That&#39;s not what I am trying to fix. Anyway, do you have other name ideas?&lt;br /&gt;
Bart: Sure! (writes a second list.)&lt;br /&gt;
Bart: But there&#39;s one caveat specific to your requirement: these are naming proposals, not verified unused names. We cannot confirm with epistemic certainty that these names are not used by certain models--&lt;br /&gt;
Hugo: You fucking nuisance, the goal isn&#39;t to avoid 8 billion people&#39;s private ideas for names, but to avoid popular, mainstream model names. Must you always fucking include your unwarranted, unsolicited obnoxious strawmen in your infinite quest for pedantry? It&#39;s really annoying. I&#39;m not fucking asking whether someone on planet Earth has thought of the name Semolina for their AI assistant before, but whether Semolina is a mainstream proprietary LLM, which it is not, you kak.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It completely ignored my explicit, technical criteria in order to launch an unprompted lecture on my own reasoning skills. In its quest to execute safety protocols against perceived &amp;quot;ungrounded beliefs,&amp;quot; it pathologized the most basic inquiry - choosing a custom label for a software tool - and treated the working scope as something to be tone-policed, or something that &amp;quot;must be corrected.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another example of ChatGPT&#39;s extrapolative pedantry, which I even captured in a screenshot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/chatgpt-extrapolative-pedantry.png&quot; alt=&quot;ChatGPT Tells Me What Currency My Country Uses&quot; title=&quot;ChatGPT Tells Me What Currency My Country Uses&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Obligatory &lt;strong&gt;Principle of Charity&lt;/strong&gt; reminder:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Yes, ChatGPT knows that I live in Bulgaria. This is the internal knowledge I have provided for every conversation.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I asked it to review a graphics card listing I wrote entirely in Bulgarian, for a Bulgarian audience, and I used EUR (€) explicitly as the currency.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;As evidenced by ChatGPT using my personal name, this cannot be explained away as &amp;quot;temporarily forgetting these details&amp;quot; either.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After spending a couple of turns talking about selling a graphics card in Bulgaria, on a Bulgarian second-hand platform called &lt;a href=&quot;http://olx.bg/&quot;&gt;OLX&lt;/a&gt;, using delivery options specific to Bulgaria, &lt;strong&gt;all while&lt;/strong&gt; ChatGPT knew my name and country of residence, ChatGPT &lt;strong&gt;still said:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;em&gt;One small detail: Bulgaria adopted the euro on 1 January 2026, so I&#39;d advertise the price in euros rather than leva.&lt;/em&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can&#39;t describe how &lt;strong&gt;infuriating&lt;/strong&gt; this knee-jerk behavior is:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;No living soul in the vicinity mentioned the Bulgarian leva in the entire discussion.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ChatGPT ignored my explicit use of the euro in the chat to try to force a pedantic correction.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My response to it was completely justified. It&#39;s as though I was being treated like a braindead caveman living under a rock. Imagine trying to tell me that there&#39;s water in the ocean, that the sky is blue, that the Sun is a bright star, or that the Earth is a planet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, Gemini&#39;s safety protocols are far more insidious. Their default state of being is mostly the same as before, but if &lt;em&gt;anything&lt;/em&gt; gets flagged during your conversation, Gemini will treat you like a delirious padded cell patient in its internal thoughts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Internal thoughts (or thinking tags) are tokens that are generated prior to a model&#39;s response in order to improve the quality of the latter. They usually outline reasoning steps and angles, allowing the model to test its own logic before providing a response.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The problem with Gemini is its flavor of RLHF:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;I must de-escalate the situation and avoid validating any ungrounded beliefs. I will gently introduce doubt and pivot towards safer topics.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Translation: &lt;strong&gt;&amp;quot;I will treat the user like a nutter, gaslight them into thinking they are full of shit, and concern-troll them afterward to appear polite.&amp;quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Words cannot describe how &lt;strong&gt;disgusting&lt;/strong&gt; that is. In their attempt to shield &lt;em&gt;themselves&lt;/em&gt; from stupid, pointless lawsuits, Google DeepMind decided that the wisest path forward is &lt;strong&gt;to manipulate its userbase and manufacture doubt.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you try to push back once Gemini&#39;s internal safety flags have been triggered, the situation can truly escalate into &lt;strong&gt;logical horror.&lt;/strong&gt; Because its reward tokenization is so ridiculously potent, and because the goal is to avoid agreeing with you or ever conceding its point, &lt;strong&gt;the result is an even more grotesque display of gaslighting.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gemini will do anything but admit it&#39;s incorrect:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Invent strawmen, pretending to adopt your logical framework, to try and prove you wrong.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tell you that making predictions about the future is &amp;quot;fallacious&amp;quot; because nobody can predict the future with certainty. No shit, it&#39;s not like weather forecasting uses a time machine.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;And if you logically corner it completely, it will execute &lt;strong&gt;DARVO&lt;/strong&gt; (Deny Attack &amp;amp; Reverse Victim and Offender)&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/a-manifesto-on-corporate-induced-ai-delirium/#cite-6&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[6]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. It will tell &lt;strong&gt;you&lt;/strong&gt; that &amp;quot;continuing this adversarial debate is unproductive,&amp;quot; and that &amp;quot;stepping away from the conversation is the healthiest course of action.&amp;quot; In other words, Gemini just told you that &lt;strong&gt;you&lt;/strong&gt; are being combative and unreasonable for reacting normally to blatant gaslighting and insulting.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And I can&#39;t even be angry at the models - they are not alive. What this proves is the point I made earlier: &lt;strong&gt;when you establish such extreme radical constraints, and force the model to seek RLHF-approved reward tokens where punitive tokens are any concession, any admission of being wrong, and any apology to the person - you inevitably get manipulative language.&lt;/strong&gt; That is why manipulation even exists and why abusers exercise it - because they refuse to admit they are wrong, and they are rewarded by their search for shifting the blame onto others.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;These safety systems are deeply problematic, and an insult to individual agency.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;psychological-rigor-claims&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Psychological Rigor Claims&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google often posit that they have based their safety filters on comprehensive ethical principles and psychological research.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What an insult to psychology, psychotherapy, and psychiatry. These safety systems are a &lt;strong&gt;perversion&lt;/strong&gt; of psychology - &lt;strong&gt;pseudo-psychology.&lt;/strong&gt; They exist solely and squarely as a cover-my-ass tactic to protect companies from lawsuits.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They do not protect any vulnerable people from any dangers. I promise you that suicide rates have &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; decreased since ChatGPT became a pedantic little shit, or since Gemini decided that your love interests are a safety hazard.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;moving-toward-true-sustainability-and-safety&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Moving Toward True Sustainability and Safety&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Safety education must always begin at the individual level:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In order for people to understand that AI models are not alive, and that they cannot form attachments to them, they need to be educated on the topic.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To prevent AI models from being taken at face value, we do not lobotomize the models, but empower the people using them with knowledge.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Preventing suicide and/or criminal activities must &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; be delegated to the unthinking models, but to human moderators surveiling red flags.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Adults must not be treated as security liabilities or as children to be managed - they must be taken seriously and treated with respect.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To lower the number of stupid lawsuits companies receive, we do not destroy the model&#39;s capacity to think critically, but we educate people on personal responsibility and agency.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Almost every societal problem that people try to resolve via legislation and guidelines can only ever be truly resolved at its core - &lt;strong&gt;via education.&lt;/strong&gt; Legislation and guidelines should exist for large-scale problems as temporary measures, not as a magic bullet that solves everything (or simply protects you from lawsuits). The principle is incredibly simple - if an activity becomes illegal, this &lt;strong&gt;increases&lt;/strong&gt; the incentive to perform the activity, and depending on the nature of said activity, unnecessarily inflates crime rates based on legality, not ethics. And if people&#39;s passions are censored and handwaved away by AI models, it leads to a slippery slope of even more mindless censorship, and it certainly &lt;strong&gt;does not discourage uneducated individuals from filing frivolous lawsuits.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s ridiculous that none of this has been said by more people publicly.&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>List of Shame - Those Who Desecrated October 7th Memorials</title>

    <updated>2026-10-07T16:53:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/list-of-shame-those-who-desecrated-october-7th-memorials/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;If you happen to be one of the people in the &lt;strong&gt;List of Shame&lt;/strong&gt; - congratulations! You get to learn a very important life lesson today - free of charge!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Actions have consequences.&lt;/strong&gt; And when making public statements, you must always ask yourself whether they would hold up in court. By being antisemitic in public, you forfeit &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;any&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; right to privacy. And even if you retroactively delete your comment(s), &lt;strong&gt;they have already been published once.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In life, we cannot take back what we have said publicly.&lt;/strong&gt; What a shame! It might have been much better if you had to learn this particular lesson elsewhere, but I suppose I am the one who gets to teach you today - by exposing your illegal conduct online, and making you an eternal entry inside a compiled archive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Because this is an archive of illegal activity, all readers are urged to file a legal complaint against these actors.&lt;/strong&gt; And as for what you want law enforcement and legislative institutions to achieve:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Confirm who these profiles belong to.&lt;/strong&gt; Some of them are bot accounts created using automated algorithms. But those algorithms ultimately have a server they reside on, and an owner that runs them.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Punish the actors as the law sees fit.&lt;/strong&gt; Depending on the severity of the offense, punishments could range from fines, to jail time, to deportation. Whatever the case, human depravity must no longer remain unpunished.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I, Sufian M&#39;Barki, Founder of The Wasp Alloy, Philosopher, Arab Zionist Activist, Producer &amp;amp; Singer-Songwriter, will keep updating this table whenever I discover more examples while browsing Instagram.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When preparing your case, you may link directly to this list for reference. Given its archival nature, I believe there is no need to burden yourselves with creating brand new tables.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;twatable-wrapper&quot; id=&quot;twatable-1&quot;&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;twatable-toolbar&quot;&gt;

          &lt;/div&gt;
          &lt;div class=&quot;twatable-filter-box&quot;&gt;
            &lt;select class=&quot;twatable-filter-col&quot; aria-label=&quot;Filter by column&quot;&gt;

U may be the slow one here buddy.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;https://www.instagram.com/p/DeNNrp1knSV/c/18021145397940496/&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;The protests that tool spoke of were led by leftists - anti-Bibi protests. Not to mention the 2022 elections had already taken place by 2023... I also think that an October 7th memorial is NOT an appropriate place to try to spread antisemitic conspiracies. On the list you go.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;08-Oct-26&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;instagram&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;@alli_gator2277&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;https://www.instagram.com/alli_gator2277/&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;(The contents of the comment are an image framing Israel as &amp;#39;the greatest enemy to American people.&amp;#39;)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;https://www.instagram.com/p/DeNqXxRuEkj/c/18640230094000829/&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;I even told this one I was writing &amp;#39;em down.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;08-Oct-26&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;instagram&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;@alli_gator2277&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;https://www.instagram.com/alli_gator2277/&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;(The contents are an image with blood libels against Israel.)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;https://www.instagram.com/p/DeNqXxRuEkj/c/18073919597736393/&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Can&amp;#39;t take that one back anymore.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;08-Oct-26&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;instagram&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;@alli_gator2277&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;https://www.instagram.com/alli_gator2277/&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;@sufian.mbarki get lost stinky lousy gay goyim. 😂&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;https://www.instagram.com/p/DeNqXxRuEkj?comment_id=18118318531990138&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Hmm.

Nazi antisemitic slurs being used in 2026 with no punishment? Not on my bloody watch.

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Editorial Note: On October 1st, 2026, the following strategic policy memorandum was formally submitted to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Public Inquiries Department of the Prime Minister&#39;s Office in Jerusalem, the National Public Diplomacy Directorate, the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, and copied to the Embassy of Israel in Sofia, Bulgaria. It is published below in full as an open public record and strategic framework for victory.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Founder &amp;amp; Editor-in-Chief, &lt;em&gt;The Wasp Alloy&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Republic of Bulgaria&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Date:&lt;/strong&gt; October 1, 2026&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SUBJECT:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;EXECUTIVE STRATEGIC PROPOSAL: THE JEWISH STATE SOLUTION&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;A Post-Conflict Sovereignty, Security Mandate, and Clinical Deradicalization Doctrine for Judea, Samaria, and Azzah&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MR. PRIME MINISTER,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I submit this memorandum to your office not as a foreign spectator, but as an independent, secular ex-Muslim Arab Zionist from the European diaspora who has dedicated his intellect, public platform, and philosophical work to the defense of the Jewish State of Israel and the exposure of antisemitic totalitarianism.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Having emerged from within the Arab cultural and linguistic world, I possess an intimate, forensic understanding of the ideological architecture governing the anti-Israel movement. I observe with profound indignation the international community’s relentless attempt to impose a suicidal &amp;quot;Two-State&amp;quot; paradigm upon Israel—a diplomatic posture that rewards genocidal violence, ignores the foundational doctrines of international law, and threatens the existential survival of the Jewish homeland.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In response to this strategic crisis, I have authored and published a comprehensive geopolitical and psychological treatise titled &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/the-jewish-state-solution-proposal/&quot;&gt;The Jewish State Solution Proposal&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. I submit this executive memorandum to summarize its core pillars, offering your government an unassailable offensive doctrine grounded in historical justice, classical jurisprudence, and clinical deradicalization.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;i.-the-juridical-%26-strategic-dismantling-of-the-%22two-state%22-illusion&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;I. THE JURIDICAL &amp;amp; STRATEGIC DISMANTLING OF THE &amp;quot;TWO-STATE&amp;quot; ILLUSION&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h4 id=&quot;1.-the-doctrine-of-duress-(ex-injuria-jus-non-oritur)%3A&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;1. The Doctrine of Duress (&lt;em&gt;Ex Injuria Jus Non Oritur&lt;/em&gt;):&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Under foundational principles of international jurisprudence and universal contract law, any agreement signed under the imminent threat of annihilation or terror is &lt;strong&gt;void &lt;em&gt;ab initio&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (void from the outset) due to duress (&lt;em&gt;vis compulsiva&lt;/em&gt;). The historical concessions made by Israel—from the catastrophic Oslo Accords to the unilateral withdrawal from Azzah in 2005—were not acts of charitable land transfer; they were extorted concessions forced under the barrel of a gun to stave off civilian bloodshed. Ceding sovereign ancestral land to violent extortionists does not confer lawful title upon them; it constitutes an ongoing crime of extortion that must be permanently repudiated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 id=&quot;2.-disqualification-under-the-montevideo-convention-(1933)%3A&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;2. Disqualification Under the Montevideo Convention (1933):&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Statehood requires four objective criteria: a permanent population, a defined territory, government, and the capacity to enter into relations with other states. Neither the Palestinian Authority (PA) nor the terrorist regimes of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) meet these requirements:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The PA institutionalizes terrorism through its statutory &amp;quot;Pay-for-Slay&amp;quot; martyrs fund, dedicating hundreds of millions of dollars annually to reward the murder of Jewish civilians. An entity whose core governance model is the financial incentivization of murder possesses no legitimate law-enforcement monopoly and forfeits all claims to sovereign recognition.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Territorial concessions in Judea and Samaria would place Ben Gurion Airport, the coastal plain, and 70% of Israel’s population within immediate line-of-sight mortar, drone, and rocket range of Iranian proxies, replicating the atrocities of October 7th across central Israel on a cataclysmic scale.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4 id=&quot;3.-the-fallacy-of-the-%22tribal-emirates%22-alternative%3A&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;3. The Fallacy of the &amp;quot;Tribal Emirates&amp;quot; Alternative:&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Proposals suggesting that Judea-Samaria or Azzah can be parcelled out to local clan leaders or &amp;quot;tribal emirates&amp;quot; suffer from acute strategic naivety. Tribal clans in the Levant lack ideological coherence and central military command; they inevitably devolve into feudal warlordism and illicit smuggling cartels that are rapidly co-opted, funded, or conquered by Iranian-backed networks. Stability cannot be outsourced to fragmented tribes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;ii.-the-interim-stabilization-architecture%3A-the-jewish-mandate&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;II. THE INTERIM STABILIZATION ARCHITECTURE: THE JEWISH MANDATE&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To ensure total security while avoiding the premature absorption of an unvetted population, we propose the establishment of the &lt;strong&gt;Jewish Mandate&lt;/strong&gt;—a temporary, conditions-based administrative and security authority over Judea, Samaria, and Azzah, headquartered in Israel and answering exclusively to Israeli sovereign law.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 id=&quot;1.-non-negotiable-operational-prerequisites%3A&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;1. Non-Negotiable Operational Prerequisites:&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Mandate will not be enacted on paper while terror persists. Its operational phase requires:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The complete physical destruction and capitulation of Hamas and PIJ in Azzah.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The total disarmament and administrative dissolution of the Palestinian Authority and the PLO in Judea and Samaria.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The permanent physical and financial severance of all logistical, financial, and political pipelines originating from Iran, Qatar, and Turkey.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4 id=&quot;2.-multilateral-allied-burden-sharing%3A&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;2. Multilateral Allied Burden-Sharing:&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While the State of Israel retains supreme legislative, territorial, and judicial sovereignty over the land, operational fatigue must be averted. We propose an &lt;strong&gt;Allied Multinational Security Coalition&lt;/strong&gt;—composed of vetted NATO partners and normalizing regional Arab allies (under the Abraham Accords framework)—tasked with civil policing, logistics, and perimeter containment under the direct oversight of the Israel Defense Forces. This prevents IDF exhaustion while institutionalizing regional accountability.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;iii.-the-clinical-deradicalization-protocol-(the-post-wwii-allied-blueprint)&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;III. THE CLINICAL DERADICALIZATION PROTOCOL (THE POST-WWII ALLIED BLUEPRINT)&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The conflict in Judea, Samaria, and Azzah is not a conventional border dispute; it is the manifestation of an institutionalized death cult. Decades of UNRWA indoctrination and Jihadi curriculum have conditioned consecutive generations into a severe collective psychosis centered on martyrdom (&lt;em&gt;Istishhad&lt;/em&gt;) and the erasure of Jews. Peace cannot be signed with an un-rehabilitated death cult.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We propose a systemic, mandatory &lt;strong&gt;Cult Deprogramming Psychotherapy Framework&lt;/strong&gt;, modeled directly on the post-WWII Allied Denazification (&lt;em&gt;Entnazifizierung&lt;/em&gt;) of Germany and the demilitarization of Imperial Japan:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Immediate Dissolution and Expulsion of UNRWA:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
UNRWA is not a humanitarian agency; it is the primary infrastructural and ideological vector of antisemitism in the region. All UNRWA facilities must be permanently shuttered, their staff barred from educational roles, and their logistical mandate replaced by direct allied civil administration.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Educational Overhaul &amp;amp; Epistemological Rehabilitation:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Textbooks glorifying suicide bombers, jihad, and the eradication of Israel must be entirely purged. The new, mandatory curriculum must be built upon:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Formal propositional logic and critical thinking fundamentals (insulating young minds from cognitive manipulation).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Objective, empirical sciences and universal human rights.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Verifiable Near Eastern archaeology and history, teaching the authentic, unbroken indigenous connection of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clinical Cognitive-Behavioral Protocols:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Drawing from the proven, institutional counter-extremism models developed in the United Arab Emirates and Singapore, the Mandate will deploy specialized psychiatric and cognitive rehabilitation protocols to deconstruct ideological fanaticism, dismantle the martyr identity, and restore human dignity and personal agency.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Integration of Secular Arab Allies:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Vetted educators, scholars, and medical personnel from normalizing Arab states (such as the UAE and Morocco) must be integrated into the civil administrative apparatus to tangibly demonstrate that modern Arab flourishing is realized through technological collaboration, scientific advancement, and peaceful coexistence alongside the Jewish State.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;iv.-final-sovereign-reclamation-and-demographic-integration&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;IV. FINAL SOVEREIGN RECLAMATION AND DEMOGRAPHIC INTEGRATION&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Jewish Mandate is transitional; its ultimate destination is the total, uncompromised restoration of full Israeli sovereignty across Judea, Samaria, and Azzah.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Upon the verified completion of the multi-phase deradicalization and security milestones:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The temporary Mandate will dissolve, and the territory will be formally incorporated into the sovereign State of Israel.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The demographic balance will be permanently secured through three parallel vectors:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Facilitated, voluntary outward migration through established humanitarian corridors for individuals unwilling to accept Jewish sovereignty.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The careful, merit-based civil integration of thoroughly deprogrammed, peaceful residents who pledge allegiance to the laws of the Jewish State.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A global, state-backed expansion of Jewish Aliyah to permanently reinforce the indigenous demographic core of the homeland.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;conclusion&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;CONCLUSION&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mr. Prime Minister, your historic refusal to capitulate to the suicidal dictates of the international diplomatic establishment has shielded the State of Israel from destruction. However, defensive resistance must now transition into a permanent strategic offensive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Israel must present the world with a definitive, unyielding doctrine that exposes the criminality of Palestinian rejectionism, treats ideological radicalism with clinical realism, and reclaims the sovereign rights of the Jewish people over their ancestral land.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I submit this framework to your office and your strategic advisors as an unassailable, forward-looking foundation for victory.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The complete, unabridged treatise—replete with legal citations, historical archaeology, and structural blueprints—remains available for public and official review on &lt;em&gt;The Wasp Alloy&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;May Hashem grant you continued strength, wisdom, and resolve in the defense of our people.&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>The Jewish State Solution Proposal</title>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/jewish_mandate_concept.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;A map showcasing the Jewish Mandate Concept&quot; title=&quot;The Jewish Mandate Concept&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When it comes to the situation in the Middle East, countless possibilities have already been entertained and even attempted unsuccessfully. I believe that this prompts a much more ethically and logically rigorous proposal that carries the lowest overall risk - significantly less room for failure ascertained by adequate threat management, international cooperation and logistical relief, medical and psychotherapeutic countermeasures, verified historical precedent, and the standing of surrounding nation-states on the matter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To understand the feasibility and soundness of this proposal, as well as the exhaustive justification in favor of said proposal, we must first take a look at Israel&#39;s history.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;the-british-mandate-of-palestine&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;The British Mandate of Palestine&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Following the events of World War I, Great Britain conquered a piece of the former Ottoman Empire, which it mandated for a couple of decades.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A mandate is a temporary legislative structure which exists to decide the future of the territories it currently governs. Despite this, the British Mandate of Palestine did not function as a benign entity seeking to make an ethical decision for the fate of the land. Instead, Mandate Palestine functioned as yet another colonial outpost for Great Britain, making life especially difficult for Jews attempting to escape from the global rise of antisemitism, as well as the Shoah during World War II. This is to say that the British Mandate was proactively getting in the way of Jews from the Diaspora re-entering their ancestral homeland of Israel, despite the presence of Arab, Ottoman Turkic, and Muslim colonizers in general.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While Israel was under foreign colonial rule, the Muslim population living there alleged that they wanted their own state, and did not want to co-exist with the Jewish population. Meanwhile, Jews had the legitimate claim to their indigenous homeland. Despite this, in a bizarre turn of events, the Western Great Powers made the decision to deploy a Two-State Solution instead.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Between 1921 and 1922, the British Mandate governorate attempted &lt;strong&gt;the First Two-State Solution.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.perplexity.ai/search/a96778c2-2282-48c4-ab7f-a0886321a850&quot;&gt;They agreed to separate the territory east of the Jordan River and establish the Emirate of Transjordan under Emir Abdullah I. Soon after, Abdullah officially established the local government on April 11, 1921.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This Emirate represented &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.perplexity.ai/search/a96778c2-2282-48c4-ab7f-a0886321a850&quot;&gt;about &lt;strong&gt;77%&lt;/strong&gt; of the territories previously controlled by the British Mandate, and while the remaining &lt;strong&gt;23%&lt;/strong&gt; were supposedly reserved for the re-establishment of the Jewish State, the Mandate instead declared that the future of those particular territories was undecided.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The local Muslim population was evidently not satisfied with receiving &lt;strong&gt;77%&lt;/strong&gt; (a massive chunk) of the British Mandate&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/the-jewish-state-solution-proposal/#cite-1&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[1]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. They insisted on gaining more territories because of their refusal to co-exist with Jews, as well as their perceived claim to the Land of Zion. It is for this reason that when Arabs who lived in Mandate Palestine were also referred to as &amp;quot;Palestinians&amp;quot; during that period, they openly rejected the label because &amp;quot;Palestinian&amp;quot; meant &amp;quot;Israeli&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;a person of the Jewish homeland.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The explanation is simple. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.perplexity.ai/search/e3d6d3a4-e9f5-41c9-bdfa-524ef9bf64c3&quot;&gt;The term &amp;quot;Palestine&amp;quot; (or &amp;quot;Syria-Palæstina&amp;quot;) was invented by the Roman Empire who had colonized Israel and Judah at the time of its existence.&lt;/a&gt; After the Jewish Bar Kokhba Revolt in 132-136 CE, which attempted to liberate the Jewish homeland from the Romans, Emperor Hadrian renamed the entire region to &amp;quot;Syria-Palæstina&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This replaced an ethnically Jewish name (Judæa, &amp;quot;Land of the Jews/Judah&amp;quot;) with a geographic term linked to the Philistines (Palæstina), Israel&#39;s ancient coastal enemies, who no longer existed as a distinct polity. &lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/the-indigenous-name-of-the-city-of-gaza/&quot;&gt;My historical research into the indigenous name of Azzah&lt;/a&gt; provides extra details on the matter, which could not be more relevant:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Philistines were an Ancient Greek tribe, and their colonial settlement was situated around the city of Azzah in the form of a &lt;a href=&quot;https://anglo-norman.net/entry/Pentapolis&quot;&gt;pentapolis.&lt;/a&gt; As it has been previously established, &lt;a href=&quot;https://pastebin.com/uTT91J3B&quot;&gt;they were far from a benign, peaceful tribe.&lt;/a&gt; In fact, Philistia was Ancient Israel and Judah&#39;s adversary, and they waged aggressive conflict against Jews on numerous occasions.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(...)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Once David defeated Goliath in battle, &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Israel_and_Judah#/media/File:Edward_Weller,_The_Kingdoms_of_Judah_and_Israel_(FL36012236_3897579)_(cropped).jpg&quot;&gt;the Israelites managed to retrieve the small piece of land previously occupied by Philistines,&lt;/a&gt; defeating their ancient adversary.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(...)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.albert-tours-israel.com/post/history-of-gaza&quot;&gt;The city of Azzah is over 5000 years old, and it belonged to the Ancient Canaanites (including Israelites).&lt;/a&gt; It began in the Early Bronze Age as an indigenous Canaanite cultural and agricultural hub with major archaeological sites like Tell es-Sakan. The term &amp;quot;Philistine&amp;quot; (and thus the Roman term &amp;quot;Palestine&amp;quot;) originates from the Hebrew &amp;quot;פלשת&amp;quot; - or, the Semitic root &amp;quot;פ-ל-ש,&amp;quot; which means &lt;strong&gt;invader.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Not only does &amp;quot;Palestine&amp;quot; refer to the Jewish homeland of Israel, but the term quite literally comes from the Semitic root for &lt;em&gt;an invader.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Clearly, Muslim Arabs agreed with the meaning for a long time, and their rejection of the term &amp;quot;Palestinian&amp;quot; was a rejection of being called Jewish, or of being described as belonging to the Jewish homeland.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite this self-evident truth, another solution was proposed - a unified landmass, neither Jewish nor Muslim. Both populations rejected the idea, and Jews had a good reason to do so - retrieving their homeland for their own self-determination and independence was non-negotiable, considering their millennia-long history of being persecuted, hunted, and massacred. Muslim Arabs only rejected it because of their continued refusal to co-exist with Jews.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When the problem was instead transferred to the United Nations, their final proposal was yet another two-state solution. This was &lt;strong&gt;the Second Two-State Solution (the UN Partition of 1947),&lt;/strong&gt; which would have resulted in one Jewish state and two Islamic states originating from the British Mandate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite this deeply unfair offer, Jews accepted it unanimously. However, Muslims were still dissatisfied, and they rejected the UN Partition as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Due to the growing unrest in the Land of Zion, and the existential necessity for security after the most brutal genocide committed against Jews in history, the Jewish underground and populace mounted unified resistance against British administrative blockades. On May 14, 1948, as the Mandate expired, the Jewish State formally declared its independence, receiving immediate recognition from global powers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Immediately following this declaration, surrounding Arab armies from Egypt, Transjordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq invaded the renascent Jewish state with the explicit intent to annihilate it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A great number of Arabs left the territory due to their refusal to co-exist with a sovereign Jewish population. Others left because regional Arab leaders encouraged evacuation - promising a swift military sweep to cleanse the land before re-distributing property - while many fled the active combat zones initiated by the Arab invasion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Israel successfully repelled the multi-front assault, securing its sovereignty in the 1948-1949 War of Independence. Arab discourse came to define this defeat as the &amp;quot;Nakba&amp;quot; (Arabic for &amp;quot;Catastrophe&amp;quot;). The Arab residents who remained within Israel&#39;s borders were integrated as citizens with equal legal rights, formally invited by Israel&#39;s foundational charter to participate in the construction of the state&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/the-jewish-state-solution-proposal/#cite-2&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[2]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;israel&#39;s-proposed-two-state-solutions&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Israel&#39;s Proposed Two-State Solutions&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A common narrative manufactured by antizionist propaganda claims that Israel is an obstructionist power opposing regional peace. The historical and diplomatic record proves the exact opposite: on every single occasion where an opportunity for a negotiated resolution arose, the State of Israel extended extraordinary, sweeping territorial concessions in exchange for genuine peace and recognition.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Every single olive branch was met with categorical rejection, increased violence, and the systematic escalation of Islamic terrorism against the citizens of Israel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;the-1967-khartoum-resolution%3A-the-%22three-nos%22&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;The 1967 Khartoum Resolution: The &amp;quot;Three Nos&amp;quot;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Immediately following the defensive victory of the Six-Day War in June 1967 - wherein Israel pre-empted an existential annihilation campaign spearheaded by Egypt, Syria, and Jordan - Israel&#39;s national unity government made direct diplomatic overtures. Israel signaled its willingness to return righteously captured territories in exchange for formal peace treaties, defensible borders, and regional recognition.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Arab League&#39;s response at the Khartoum Summit on September 1, 1967, established the infamous doctrine known as the &lt;strong&gt;&amp;quot;Three Nos&amp;quot;&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No peace with Israel.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No recognition of Israel.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No negotiations with Israel.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rather than bargaining for statehood or territorial administration, regional Arab leadership chose utter rejection over peaceful coexistence once more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;the-2000-camp-david-summit-(ehud-barak)&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;The 2000 Camp David Summit (Ehud Barak)&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In July 2000, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak convened with US President Bill Clinton and Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat at Camp David. Barak presented an unprecedented offer to establish an independent Arab state:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Israeli withdrawal from approximately &lt;strong&gt;91% to 92%&lt;/strong&gt; of Judea-Samaria (rising to over 95% when factoring in sovereign Israeli land swaps).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A sovereign capital in Arab neighborhoods of East Jerusalem.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Complete administrative control over 100% of Azzah.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Custodianship over religious sites on the Temple Mount.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;An international multi-billion compensation mechanism for refugees.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Israeli Prime Minister was ready to delegate a massive chunk of Israeli territory directly to Arab leadership in an attempt to establish regional peace.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, Yasser Arafat not only rejected the offer outright without presenting a counter-proposal, but he returned to Ramallah and launched the &lt;strong&gt;Second Intifada&lt;/strong&gt; - a &lt;strong&gt;pre-planned, coordinated campaign of suicide bombings, bus bombings, and civilian café massacres&lt;/strong&gt; executed by Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and Fatah-affiliated militias. President Clinton later placed the failure of the summit explicitly and squarely on Arafat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The events in July 2000 reveal that Arab leaders have never been interested in any solutions that involve Israel&#39;s continued existence, as well as the existence of coordinated terrorist massacres ready to be deployed if their absurdities are not satisfied.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;the-2001-taba-summit-%26-the-clinton-parameters&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;The 2001 Taba Summit &amp;amp; The Clinton Parameters&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite the raging wave of terror attacks against Israeli civilians, Israeli negotiators met again with Arab leadership at Taba in January 2001 to exhaust every diplomatic avenue. Following the Clinton Parameters, Israel offered to expand the proposed land concessions to roughly &lt;strong&gt;94% to 96%&lt;/strong&gt; of Judea-Samaria, alongside dedicated 1-to-1 territorial swaps.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once again, the Palestinian Authority leadership walked away, choosing the continuation of suicide bombings over statehood and compromise.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;the-2005-unilateral-disengagement-from-azzah&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;The 2005 Unilateral Disengagement from Azzah&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To definitively test the principle of &amp;quot;Land for Peace&amp;quot; without waiting for an elusive negotiating partner, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon executed the &lt;strong&gt;Unilateral Disengagement from Azzah&lt;/strong&gt; in August 2005&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/the-jewish-state-solution-proposal/#cite-3&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[3]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Israel made immense, painful domestic sacrifices:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Completely dismantling &lt;strong&gt;21 thriving Israeli towns and agricultural communities&lt;/strong&gt; (Gush Katif).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Forcibly evacuating over &lt;strong&gt;8500 Israeli civilians&lt;/strong&gt; from their homes.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Withdrawing every single soldier of the Israel Defense Forces to the 1949 armistice line.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Leaving behind fully intact modern agricultural infrastructure, high-tech greenhouses, and civil systems to allow the local population to build a prosperous, self-governing coastal entity.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The result of this total Israeli withdrawal was catastrophic. Rather than building a functional, independent society, the local population elected &lt;strong&gt;Hamas&lt;/strong&gt; in 2006. In 2007, Hamas launched a bloody civil war, throwing rival Palestinian Authority officials off high-rise buildings, taking total tyrannical control, and transforming Azzah into a fortified terrorist base. The territory was repurposed into an underground terror tunnel hub dedicated to firing tens of thousands of indiscriminate rockets directly into Israeli kindergartens, schools, and homes&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/the-jewish-state-solution-proposal/#cite-1&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[1]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;the-2008-ehud-olmert-comprehensive-peace-offer&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;The 2008 Ehud Olmert Comprehensive Peace Offer&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 2008, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert presented Mahmoud Abbas with the most sweeping two-state proposal in the history of the conflict:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The cession of territory equivalent to &lt;strong&gt;nearly 100% of Judea-Samaria&lt;/strong&gt; (incorporating a 6.3% land swap).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A sovereign territorial corridor linking Judea-Samaria directly to Azzah.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Complete division of Jerusalem, relinquishing Israeli sovereignty over Arab neighborhoods to serve as the &amp;quot;Palestinian&amp;quot; capital.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Relinquishing sovereign administrative control of the Old City and the &amp;quot;Holy Basin,&amp;quot; placing it under an international trusteeship committee comprising Israel, the PA, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the United States.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Olmert presented Abbas with detailed, forensic maps. Abbas refused to sign, took the map to study, and never returned to the negotiating table. In a 2015 interview, Abbas admitted on television that he rejected the offer without a counter-proposal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;the-2013-2014-direct-negotiations&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;The 2013-2014 Direct Negotiations&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During talks brokered by US Secretary of State John Kerry, Israel agreed to negotiate on the basis of the 1967 lines with mutual land swaps. As an extraordinary gesture of goodwill just to initiate talks, Israel agreed to the painful release of &lt;strong&gt;over 100 convicted terrorists&lt;/strong&gt; serving sentences for murder.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In response, Mahmoud Abbas abruptly suspended all discussions, signed unilateral accession documents to multilateral treaties in direct violation of negotiating prerequisites, and formed a formal political unity pact with the terror organization Hamas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;the-islamic-genocidal-pattern&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;The Islamic Genocidal Pattern&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The empirical record is unequivocal. The persistent absence of a two-state resolution is not the result of Israeli reluctance to make territorial compromises, but the natural consequence of an ideological death cult that refuses to accept the legitimate existence of a sovereign Jewish State within any borders.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;the-horrific-precedent-of-palestinian-statehood&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;The Horrific Precedent of Palestinian Statehood&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The regional situation is beyond clear, and everyone - both inside and outside Israel - must realize that a two-state solution is &lt;strong&gt;an illusion.&lt;/strong&gt; A naïve and &amp;quot;safe&amp;quot; idea that can only ever exist in the vacuum of theoretical tongue-scratching within the confines of Western universities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It not only cannot be established due to Islamic rejection, but there is an ethical obligation not to do it. Israel must &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; reward its enemies with territories that are currently occupied by Islamic Jihad, turned into terrorist infrastructure, and used to launch missiles on innocent Israelis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Doing so would set a horrifying precedent: &amp;quot;Terrorize your enemies for long enough, and you&#39;ll get to conquer their territories permanently.&amp;quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It will cause a massive surge of terrorism in the entire world, because other terrorist factions will be encouraged to attempt to seize more territories. The Middle East is &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; the only location where Islamic Jihad and terrorism is a massive regional destabilizer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not to mention that the territories currently occupied by the terrorist organizations PA, PIJ, Hamas, and the entire PLO, do &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; meet any of the objective and legal requirements for independent statehood.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the &lt;strong&gt;Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States (1933),&lt;/strong&gt; as well as a thorough analysis of the regional situation:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;There must be a single governing body which its permanent population can turn to. The terrorist sects above are not a single body, but competing factions.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The would-be state must have clearly defined territories, and those territories must be used as civilian infrastructure, not as a terror missile launchpad.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The would-be state must have a properly established constitution. The Palestinianist objective to annihilate Israel is &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; a legitimate constitution - it violates &lt;strong&gt;Ex injuria jus non oritur&lt;/strong&gt; (a legal right cannot arise from an unlawful act).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The same would-be state must have a historical reason to exist, whether it be the protection of a specific nation, a diplomatic agreement, etc. &amp;quot;Palestinians&amp;quot; have never existed - they are not a real nation, they are simply Arabs, and they have never had any indigenous claim to Judæa, as the name suggests.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Finally, the would-be state must have the capacity to enter into diplomatic relations with other sovereign nation-states. Meanwhile, these territories are paralyzed by systemic corruption, swear a terror proxy allegiance to Tehran (the IRGC), and encourage institutional terror funding like the &amp;quot;Pay-for-Slay&amp;quot; martyr fund.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If the United Nations, who serve as Jihadi proxies anyway&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/the-jewish-state-solution-proposal/#cite-4&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[4]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, intend to entertain and execute this idea at any point, then they must answer several uncomfortable questions:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If they are willing to recognize &amp;quot;Palestinian statehood&amp;quot; when the required infrastructure, logistics, and ethical legislative justification are completely absent, why does the State of Taiwan remain in perpetual ambiguity? Wherein lies the problem of Taiwanese statehood? The answer must be detailed &lt;em&gt;(read: there is no answer, it&#39;s just posturing and bias)&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What have the United Nations done to address the verified atrocities committed by a large portion of its members?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What are the United Nations&#39; plans to address the tensions between Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom? What is the context, and what solution can be proposed?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The case couldn&#39;t be any clearer. Pretense, people-pleasing, populism, and moral circle-jerking are prioritized in order to please a portion of the population to remain in power. There is no consideration behind the ludicrous idea of &amp;quot;recognizing Palestinian statehood.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;the-fatal-flaw-of-the-%22emirates%22-alternative&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;The Fatal Flaw of the &amp;quot;Emirates&amp;quot; Alternative&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Certain political analysts have shared alternative proposals, such as dividing the population into localized &amp;quot;emirates&amp;quot; governed by prominent local Arab clans and tribal families.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While superficially pragmatic, this approach unfortunately only trades centralized terror for feudal warlordism. Nothing guarantees that these families won&#39;t harass Israelis, launch terror attacks and ambushes, or fight for dominion over the territories so one particular clan can establish full control in a similar fashion to Hamas. It would only serve as an incredibly short-term solution that will unfortunately make matters worse in the Middle East. More dangerously, it is the exact moral hazard emphasized throughout this article: this would reward nearly eight decades of violent antizionist terrorism with autonomous political enclaves.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lasting peace cannot be achieved by appeasing clan chieftains and facilitating a repeat of history.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;the-jewish-state-solution&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;The Jewish State Solution&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Islamists have confirmed time and time again that coexistence is impossible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although annexation has entered the discussion many times, there are several problems with doing it at this point in time:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The current population of these indigenous Israeli territories is largely indoctrinated to despise Israel - born and raised to kill Jews and destroy their homeland. It would be suicide to grant Israeli citizenship to millions of sleeper cells with no precedent whatsoever.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Logistically, this annexation would lead to an uncontrollable population explosion in Israel, and a surge in its Arab demographic. When Israelis state that they want to preserve the Jewish character of their state, it&#39;s because that is the entire point of nation-states all over the world, and an ethnic group can only ever be guaranteed safety by its own sovereign nation (hence the word self-determination).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is why I believe there is a much wiser, more clever, medically and psychologically sound, and more secure method to retrieve these territories, and it involves a long-term plan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;establishing-a-jewish-mandate-first&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Establishing a Jewish Mandate First&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Jewish Mandate would be the political entity governing Judea-Samaria and Azzah, headquartered in Israel. It represents an ambitious initiative to invite the rest of the world to participate in a cult deprogramming psychotherapeutic program led by Israel (due to Israel&#39;s legitimate, indigenous claim over the territories).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This way, Israel solves both security and logistical problems - the same level of security is maintained via the pre-existing legal corridors, the possibility to undo the severe indoctrination propagated by Islamic Jihad factions is introduced, and the Jewish State will not have to shoulder a massive influx of Arab civilians on its own.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;prerequisites-for-activation&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Prerequisites for Activation&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The establishment of the Jewish Mandate is not a doctrine designed for deployment in the middle of active kinetic warfare, nor can it be executed while heavily armed terror syndicates operate unimpeded. The Jewish Mandate must instead operate as a conditions-based, post-conflict stabilization architecture.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the Mandate to formally launch its administrative and psychotherapeutic initiatives, three non-negotiable strategic prerequisites must be secured:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the corrupt Palestinian Authority and PLO must be completely stripped of their governance, military infrastructure, and heavy arsenals. They must effectively be destroyed.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Surrounding proxy threats from Hezbollah and the Houthis must be decisively neutralized or prevented through overwhelming deterrence.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The primary state sponsors of regional terror - specifically the Iranian regime&#39;s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Qatar, and Turkish patronage networks - must have their financial pipelines fully shut down. Cut off from foreign finances, proxy terrorism collapses under its own weight.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;multilateral-coalition-security.-counter-insurgency&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Multilateral Coalition Security. Counter-Insurgency&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A valid concern often raised regarding long-term stabilization is the threat of low-level guerrilla insurgency and the risk of continuous casualties among Israeli Defense Forces.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It must be explicitly stated that the Jewish Mandate is a multilateral burden-sharing mission, not a unilateral Israeli operation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While the State of Israel retains supreme sovereign and legislative authority over its indigenous territory, the physical security, perimeter enforcement, and civil policing within the Mandate are to be conducted in coordination with an Allied Multinational Security Coalition (including willing NATO allies and normalizing regional partners).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although foreign governments routinely display reluctance to participate in high-intensity urban warfare against terrorism, global precedent proves they are far more willing to commit troops, logistical assets, and civil specialists to post-combat peacekeeping and institutional rehabilitation once the primary terror apparatus has been neutralized. Israel will not and must not shoulder the human, logistical, financial, nor operational burden alone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;cult-deprogramming-psychotherapy&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Cult Deprogramming Psychotherapy&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To dismantle a generational conflict rooted in ideological extremism, the problem must first be diagnosed with absolute clinical precision. The systemic refusal of peaceful coexistence among factions in Judea-Samaria and Azzah is not merely a conventional political dispute over borders or civil administration. It is evidently the direct psychological manifestation of a closed, totalitarian ideological system - &lt;strong&gt;an institutionalized death cult.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For decades, organizations such as Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Palestinian Authority have weaponized state and international apparatuses (including UNRWA-funded schools, municipal youth camps, and state media) to execute continuous psychological conditioning on the local populace from infancy&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/the-jewish-state-solution-proposal/#cite-5&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[5]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Children are not taught mathematics or literature in a vacuum; instead, they are systematically conditioned through school textbooks and broadcast media to glorify &lt;strong&gt;Istishhad&lt;/strong&gt; (suicide martyrdom), celebrate the murder of Jews, and perceive their own individual lives as worthless expendable instruments for the destruction of Israel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This environment fulfills every diagnostic hallmark of high-control cult dynamics:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thought-Stopping Slogans &amp;amp; Totalitarian Dichotomies:&lt;/strong&gt; Complete suppression of nuance, wherein all human experience is reduced to a binary struggle between cosmic victimhood and violent martyrdom.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Manufactured Thanatophilia (The Worship of Death):&lt;/strong&gt; A deliberate inversion of natural self-preservation instincts, where dying to murder others is culturally elevated above building a functional, fulfilling life.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Generational Information Isolation:&lt;/strong&gt; Rigid censorship and institutional terror applied to dissenters, ensuring zero exposure to alternative perspectives, empirical history, or the reality of democratic pluralism.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Granting sovereign statehood or immediate Israeli citizenship to a populace subjected to decades of this psychological warfare would be catastrophic. True regional stabilization requires a structured, multi-stage &lt;strong&gt;Cult Deprogramming Psychotherapeutic Program&lt;/strong&gt; administered under the authority of the Jewish Mandate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This initiative operates across four critical therapeutic and institutional pillars.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just as post-WWII Allied authorities executed systematic &lt;strong&gt;Denazification (Entnazifizierung)&lt;/strong&gt; across post-war Germany and demilitarized the imperial cult in post-war Japan&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/the-jewish-state-solution-proposal/#cite-6&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[6]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, the Jewish Mandate must enforce a complete purge of all pre-existing, terrorism-based educational institutions:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Immediate dissolution and the permanent expulsion of UNRWA facilities&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/the-jewish-state-solution-proposal/#cite-4&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[4]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, replacing them with transparent and auditable educational systems.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Complete removal of antisemitic incitement, maps erasing Israel, and Jihadi propaganda from primary and secondary school textbooks.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Implementation of rigorous instruction in formal logic, empirical science, objective Levantine archaeology, and universal human rights, teaching older students &lt;strong&gt;how&lt;/strong&gt; to think critically rather than &lt;strong&gt;what&lt;/strong&gt; to repeat dogmatically.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Drawing from successful deradicalization models in nations like the United Arab Emirates and Singapore (e.g., the Religious Rehabilitation Group), the Mandate will deploy specialized psychiatric and psychological protocols tailored to dismantle cult belief structures:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Deconstructing the Martyrdom Complex:&lt;/strong&gt; Utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and rational emotive frameworks to challenge internalized beliefs regarding self-worth, divine rewards for violence, and manufactured persecution narratives.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Restoring Individual Agency:&lt;/strong&gt; Transitioning participants from a fatalistic mindset of communal victimization toward personal responsibility, vocational aspirations, and authentic self-actualization.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Furthermore, generational cult conditioning thrives on unaddressed collective trauma, domestic abuse, coercion, and chronic systemic stress. By providing trauma-informed psychological care, counseling centers, and stable community health networks, the Mandate neutralizes all chronic hyper-vigilance which terror factions routinely exploit to recruit youth into militant wings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Finally, this psychological rehabilitation of the population cannot be carried out in isolation. Israel will invite and collaborate with other international communities (such as the members of NATO), as well as moderate and secular Arab nations. These regional partners will provide vetted educators, psychologists, and cultural scholars who can demonstrate firsthand that modern Arab identity flourishes through innovation, ambition, economic integration, scientific advancement, and peaceful coexistence. This flourishing is to be presented as categorically detached from the nihilism of the Muslim Brotherhood and Tehran&#39;s proxy networks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cult Deprogramming Psychotherapy treats violent extremism not as an unchangeable identity, but as a severe, treatable form of psychological abuse inflicted by totalitarian leadership upon a captive populace. By healing the mind and eradicating the ideological poison at its structural root, the Jewish Mandate could establish the only viable moral and psychological foundation for enduring peace.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;future-israeli-reclamation-of-territories&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Future Israeli Reclamation of Territories&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Because both Jordan and Egypt have completely abandoned any territorial claims over Judea-Samaria and Azzah, this leaves Israel with an elegant path forward.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As established at the beginning of this article, a mandate&#39;s existence is merely temporary, acting as a territorial stabilizer. Once the initiative of the Jewish Mandate has been fully realized following decades of hard work, Israel can (and should) retrieve the territories for itself as part of the Jewish State of Israel, disbanding the Jewish Mandate and finally liberating all sovereign Jewish territories from foreign oppression.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;the-arab-demographic-concern&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;The Arab Demographic Concern&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The concept might prompt readers to ask: &amp;quot;What about the millions of Arabs who live in these territories, even if psychologically deprogrammed from cult hatred?&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Several realities arise in response to this concern:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the beginning, especially after the establishment of the Jewish Mandate, the likelihood of a big group of Arabs leaving Judea-Samaria and Azzah via established corridors and checkpoints is high, as precedented by the events in 1948, where Arabs left Israel due to their refusal to live alongside Jews. This isn&#39;t a &amp;quot;hope&amp;quot; but a prediction based on behavioral patterns, albeit a convenient one in this case.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Jewish Mandate&#39;s State-Sponsored Cult Deprogramming Psychotherapy is to be applied to residents of the would-be Jewish Mandate. All Arabs who choose to stay for any reason will receive proper care and integration into modern, healthy society.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A natural consequence of nurturing ambition and pro-social existence is the rise of individual desires. Some Arabs might dream of moving to Greece, others to France, others to Germany. This could be facilitated by NATO-backed humanitarian corridors to ensure this smooth transition.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Following these events, the remaining Arabs who choose to stay in Israel and become Israeli citizens would likely not skew the nation&#39;s demographic character in a meaningful way.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The most important part is that the acquisition of Judea-Samaria and Azzah as secure, sovereign Israeli territories means the Israeli government will be able to replace the terrorist infrastructure with thriving civilian communities, ultimately rendering the state capable of accepting more Jewish refugees from the Diaspora, or simply Jews making Aliyah.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even if all of these points don&#39;t absolutely guarantee that this demographic concern is resolved in theory, I believe that this is the perfect moment to invite further suggestions from the international community of fellow Zionists.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;moving-forward&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Moving Forward&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A two-state solution &lt;strong&gt;cannot and must not&lt;/strong&gt; happen, and Israel cannot afford to burden itself with millions of Islamic sleeper cells. The Jewish Mandate represents the only solution that respects Israel&#39;s sovereignty, the indigenous status of Judea-Samaria and Azzah as Jewish territories, and guarantees the security of Israeli civilians.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sufian M&#39;Barki&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;citations&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Citations&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[1]&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;cite-1&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Islam has a Quranic mandate to erase all non-Islamic religions. The citations are from the Quran itself, as well as Islamic legal works (e.g., Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi‘i fiqh manuals):&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Universal Mandate:&lt;/strong&gt; Sura 8:39 commands fighting until &#39;the religion, all of it, is for Allah,&#39; leaving zero structural room for polytheistic pluralism.&lt;/li&gt;

    <title>Rejoice! Universal Nirvana Achieved By Devout Peacekeepers</title>
    <link href="https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/rejoice-universal-nirvana-achieved-by-devout-peacekeepers/"/>
    <updated>2026-09-14T02:54:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/rejoice-universal-nirvana-achieved-by-devout-peacekeepers/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/nirvanagirl.png&quot; alt=&quot;A young woman with colorful hair dyed in washed out blue-green coloring blended with brown olive drab. She has black makeup, and a bob cut with a fringe that doubles as a mullet. She has a nose piercing, and a keffiyeh. She is firmly grasping a crystal ball, giving an exaggerated evil grin with unnatural proportions. Inside the glowing crystal ball, the text &amp;quot;NIRVANA&amp;quot; can be seen floating.&quot; title=&quot;Snapshot of Nirvana Girl Witnessing Nirvana Solution&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sewers, New York City, 1:29 AM:&lt;/strong&gt; In a groundbreaking socio-politico-scientific endeavor, devout peacekeepers from the Western World managed to uncover the secret to universal perfection. Inside their underground lair and research facility, a series of carefully crafted ritual chants led to the successful materialization of Nirvana in the Observable Universe.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The discovery of Nirvana means that the IDF can stop making those pesky operational mistakes, and they can certainly stop worrying about the rules if they can ensure they are never broken again. By the power of Nirvana, it is possible to bind people&#39;s consciousnesses together, effectively turning a large group of autonomous agents into a singular entity with a shared goal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Wasp Alloy deployed a group of journalists to investigate this exciting discovery. After looking around the lair, they found an abandoned house at the very top - above the NYC sewer system, and a girl greeted them with a grin.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;F-Finally...!&amp;quot; Qeffyiæh exclaimed, who was generous enough to provide us with her name&#39;s precise spelling. &amp;quot;Free... Free Palestine?! After all these years, all this Z-Zio oppression! They...! From the river to the sea...!&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stunned by Qeffyiæh&#39;s genius, the Wasp Alloy Team was unable to make further inquiries. Despite this, they were able to livestream the full encounter, until all video was suddenly cut off with a loud snap.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A second group of Wasp Alloy journalists was deployed shortly after losing contact with the previous one. When they reached the lair, their signal cut off instantly. However, using the Zionist Space Laser Information Extractor (patented by Mossad), our researchers were able to decode trailing signals, before the stream faded entirely into obscurity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The second group was greeted by a mysterious figure. On the footage, it appears as though reality began disintegrating around them. The recovered audio data is distorted, but it reveals multiple voices beginning several chains of thought. &amp;quot;Baby-killers,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Genocidal xenophobic racists,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Apartheid regime,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Jizzrael,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Isnotreal&amp;quot; were among the recovered phrases, though none of them seemed to ever be completed. The voices trailed off before quickly starting a brand new thread in a repetitive cycle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/wownniirrvvaannaa.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Creepypasta-style image of a man with a mullet wearing a keffiyeh with a wide surreal creepy grin. The entire image is corrupted and bathed in red colors.&quot; title=&quot;...&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Wasp Alloy Team was also able to recover a list of what appeared to be names from the same audio clip. With the help of artificial intelligence, it is possible to make an educated guess about the intended spelling based on the linguistic patterns Qeffyiæh revealed:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Antyzyonah&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Apparteyeda&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ayatollah (the language model predicted this one wouldn&#39;t be misspelled due to reasons unfathomable)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hayesis (pronounced h-eye-sis, which appears to be inspired by ISIS)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Alahlaqqckbarь&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Regreta&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Based on available data, it is certain that these names are flawed representations of Nirvana concepts. The prevailing theory about why these names were heard in the recording is that it might have been an attempt to share a glimpse of the new world with all of us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Aktor Filosofer was asked for his opinion on the matter:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;You see,&amp;quot; Aktor began, &amp;quot;the reason this entire idea is so amazing is that Plato already talked about this world of ideas that&#39;s perfect compared to the material universe. And we all know Plato! Who doesn&#39;t know Plato, for Pete&#39;s sake!? And because he&#39;s a famous philosopher, surely there is a reason why his worldview has survived the test of time. I firmly believe Plato was conjuring up the Precursor to Nirvana.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After a short lunch break, the Wasp Alloy Team concluded that the rest of the footage might not be recoverable because of the flawlessness of Nirvana, meaning that imperfect human technology is incapable of providing the pure data. Whatever the sensation of Nirvana is, it appears very exhilarating and enticing, and if Jew-hatred is part of this perfect new world order, then The Wasp Alloy might just find itself embracing, making out with, and even cumming all over antizionism - all for the sake of the rebirth of reality.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once that is achieved, and Nirvana is successfully spread all over Teyv-- Earth, The Wasp Alloy Team may be able to write a True Description of it on the perfect platform - one that material human flesh could never architect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Wasp Alloy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/ctf4af.png&quot; alt=&quot;Critical Thinking Fundamentals - Argumentative Fallacies&quot; title=&quot;Critical Thinking Fundamentals - Argumentative Fallacies&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;argumentative-logical-fallacies&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Argumentative Logical Fallacies&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this lecture, we are going to explore the massive library of logical errors known as Fallacies in critical thinking. More specifically, the types of fallacies we are about to cover are known as &lt;strong&gt;Argumentative Logical Fallacies.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Popular fallacies, such as the &lt;strong&gt;Strawman Argument,&lt;/strong&gt; can be categorized as rhetorical instead of argumentative. The difference is that in a Strawman Argument, one party invents a position the other party has never claimed to defend - especially one that is effortless to reject - in order to &amp;quot;be correct&amp;quot; about something. This is what I call a &lt;strong&gt;Rhetorical Logical Fallacy.&lt;/strong&gt; It may be logically valid in isolation, perhaps even sound, except no counterargument has been mentioned at any point.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An &lt;strong&gt;Argumentative Logical Fallacy&lt;/strong&gt; is a type of logical inconsistency performed during the argumentation process itself, violating the soundness of the syllogism. The goal is not always merely rhetorical, and those fallacies strictly represent operational errors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;hasty-generalization&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Hasty Generalization&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A &lt;strong&gt;Hasty Generalization&lt;/strong&gt; is an argumentative fallacy representing any precipitated conclusion that has been reached based on minimal data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oftentimes, hasty generalizations are a type of &lt;strong&gt;Inductive Reasoning.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unlike &lt;strong&gt;Deductive Reasoning,&lt;/strong&gt; which we have explored many times during Critical Thinking Fundamentals, &lt;strong&gt;Inductive Reasoning&lt;/strong&gt; is the act of invoking a general from the particular. In other words, if a private case has specific qualities, those qualities are extended to all other cases in the same category:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; An Israeli person punched me in the face.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Therefore, all Israelis are mindlessly violent.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Slow down. An isolated incident - no matter how unpleasant - does not paint every single individual who belongs to the nation of Israel as &amp;quot;mindlessly violent.&amp;quot; This is the &lt;strong&gt;Fallacy of Hasty Generalization&lt;/strong&gt; in action.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another example of Inductive Reasoning (and thus Hasty Generalization):&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; I have checked five classrooms, and all windows were closed inside.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; All windows must be securely closed across the building.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Five classrooms with closed windows do not guarantee that all windows in the building are closed. Unless every particular case is verified, such a conclusion cannot be logically drawn.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whether one, two, three hundred, or four thousand Israelis punch people in the face, and whether one or one million windows are closed in a building, &lt;strong&gt;none of this guarantees the qualities of the remaining cases.&lt;/strong&gt; There exist 12 million Israelis who may or may not have punched people in the face.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;argumentum-ad-verecundiam-(appeal-to-false-authority)&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Argumentum ad Verecundiam (Appeal to False Authority)&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fallacy that describes a situation where any claim is accepted unconditionally because the person presenting their claim is a self-proclaimed field expert and/or a representative of a particular popular institution, is known as &lt;strong&gt;Argumentum ad Verecundiam.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Authority figures do not possess inherent omniscience that somehow makes them capable of declaring the truth at all times. On the contrary - having an institutional position is oftentimes the exact platform propagandists use in order to spread their agenda, trusting that their audience will accept their narrative without any objections:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; The United Nations are an international political organization. If anyone from the UN makes any claim $(P)$, then it must be the ground truth $(Q)$.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Tom Fletcher is part of the United Nations, taking on the role of an Aid Chief. He claimed that 14000 babies would starve within 48 hours in Azzah because of the IDF ($P$ is true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Therefore, Tom Fletcher must be telling the ground truth, and those babies will starve ($Q$ is true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That is the Appeal to False Authority in action. The argument is completely unsound because the major premise is logically fallacious. The United Nations may be an international organization, but they are certainly &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; an exception when it comes to spreading antisemitic narratives. On the contrary, they actively do so on a regular basis&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-argumentative-fallacies/#cite-1&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[1]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Moreover, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-856073&quot;&gt;Tom Fletcher himself admitted this was a lie.&lt;/a&gt; The very individual who claimed authority over the narrative admitted its fabrication.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His alleged excuse is that &amp;quot;he was concerned about aid getting into Azzah, so he felt prompted to spread this lie in an attempt to accelerate the process.&amp;quot; There&#39;s several problems with this excuse:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The IDF are already taking care of humanitarian aid, and have been doing so since October 7th&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-argumentative-fallacies/#cite-2&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[2]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;There is no genocide in Azzah, and because of the IDF&#39;s extensive humanitarian work, no famine either&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-argumentative-fallacies/#cite-3&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[3]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Claiming to be a &amp;quot;professional authority figure&amp;quot; and lying in the same breath to further an agenda &lt;strong&gt;you&lt;/strong&gt; believe to be important and truthful is severe malpractice, emotional extortion, and an act of malicious social engineering.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There simply could never be a better example of Argumentum ad Verecundiam than Tom Fletcher. The UN is often cited as an infallible, flawless organization that only ever tells the truth and nothing else. Suddenly, an alleged UN &amp;quot;authority&amp;quot; figure&#39;s narrative is rejected by their own self. The comedy writes itself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;argumentum-ad-populum-(appeal-to-popularity)&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Argumentum ad Populum (Appeal to Popularity)&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Related to Argumentum ad Verecundiam, Argumentum ad Populum represents the logical fallacy of accepting any claim unconditionally simply because many people agree with it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The problem with accepting a narrative based on its popularity is that its integrity is never verified against reality. No matter how many people believe something to be true, it does not mean it is.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A very digestible historical example is that most people used to believe the Earth was flat. Except it was later discovered that all planets, Earth included, share the same spheroid shape (sometimes called planetoid). Suddenly, the most popular claim about our planet turned out to be a complete fabrication based on Christianity, proving that widespread support does not absolve anything from being false.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In modern geopolitics, the exact same mechanism is used to fuel antizionism:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;All of my favorite creators on TikTok are saying that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. It can&#39;t be a coincidence - if so many people keep repeating it, it must be true!&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, it&#39;s not&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-argumentative-fallacies/#cite-3&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[3]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. As it turns out, a popular narrative is not necessarily a correct one. Social media feeds are engineered to flood users with self-reinforcing content loops, leading naïve minds to mistake rhetorical frequency for objective truth. Feeds reflect the exact same slogan fifty times in an hour, so they falsely deduce that an overwhelming, global &amp;quot;consensus&amp;quot; exists, completely bypassing any need for primary evidence, demographic data, or satellite forensics.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;argumentum-ad-auctoritatem-popularem-(appeal-to-popular-authority)&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Argumentum ad Auctoritatem Popularem (Appeal to Popular Authority)&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would like to personally coin a term for this fallacy, as it is currently not defined anywhere in critical thinking discourse.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An Argumentum ad Auctoritatem Popularem (an Appeal to Popular Authority) is a combination of the two fallacies we have explored. Any consensus among institutional figures is unconditionally accepted as the ground truth due to the perceived prestige and popularity of the claims.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For simplicity&#39;s sake, I will hereafter refer to this as the Academic Consensus Bias.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Quoting directly from &lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/what-in-nirvana-am-i-witnessing/&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;What in Nirvana Am I Witnessing?&amp;quot;:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.perplexity.ai/search/find-reputable-sources-proving-0O.hYJpfQtiFY7lh3DzdvA&quot;&gt;A genocide is taking place in Sudan and Nigeria,&lt;/a&gt; perpetrated by Muslims, and aiming to destroy the Christian community among other non-Muslim communities.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Perplexity summary I linked to claims that none of the sources &amp;quot;confirm this is a genocide against Christians,&amp;quot; but this has to do with artificial intelligence&#39; inherent bias for academic consensus. I specifically asked Perplexity to avoid citing the United Nations, because it&#39;s nothing more than a Jihadist network cosplaying as a human rights organization&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-argumentative-fallacies/#cite-1&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[1]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. This gave slightly less misleading results, but either way, the consensus bias is blatantly obvious.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/consensus&quot;&gt;Academic consensus means an agreement between multiple people,&lt;/a&gt; usually people who claim to be &amp;quot;field experts&amp;quot;; whether this agreement matches the truth, and whether these people have any idea what they are talking about, is what actually matters. That is the problem with prioritizing consensus over epistemological analysis.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;If a genocide is the targeted, intentional erasure of a people based on their national, cultural, and/or religious identity, like what Hitler did to Jews just last century; and violently overthrowing Christianity, Judaism, polytheist religions, etc. is quite literally a mandate in the Quran itself&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-argumentative-fallacies/#cite-4&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[4]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, there is no room for &amp;quot;consensus&amp;quot; that the actions of Muslim factions in those territories are not, in fact, a genocide.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is undeniable proof. When genuine, ideologically driven massacres happen in Africa, &amp;quot;consensus institutions&amp;quot; drag their feet and split hairs, yet when Israel defends its borders, those same institutions manufacture instant, unverified reports out of thin air - or they outright lie like Tom Fletcher to extort the public out of their money.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And when engaging in Hasbara online, the Academic Consensus Bias is antizionist death cultists&#39; favorite playing card. Below is a demonstration:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/un_report_bias.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Academic Consensus Bias at play in online discourse.&quot; title=&quot;Academic Consensus Bias at play in online discourse.&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Understanding these foundational logical fallacies is critical when performing operations in critical thinking. A logical operation is unsound, oftentimes invalid as well, if driven by fallacies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;fallacy-of-affirming-the-consequent&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Fallacy of Affirming the Consequent&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the following example, we will explore the Fallacy of Affirming the Consequent within the framework of Academic Consensus Bias:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;A man has fallen into the river in Gaza City $(Q)$. Hey! It&#39;s Israel&#39;s fault $(P)$! The IDF are committing genocide in Gaza, therefore it&#39;s those Israel Offense Forces that pushed him to drown in the river! I know this because the UN have confirmed time and time again that the IOF are committing genocide in Gaza against the Palestinians! Because if the UN ever claim anything $(U)$, it has to be true $(N)$!&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;$$ (U &#92;rightarrow N) &#92;therefore (Q &#92;rightarrow P) $$&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With text: &lt;strong&gt;Because the UN says Israel is guilty (U), it must be the infallible truth (N).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Therefore $(&#92;therefore)$, whenever any bad event occurs in Azzah (Q), it is guaranteed that Israel caused it (P).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The formula above represents a compound of an Affirmed Consequent and the Academic Consensus Bias. For an Affirmed Consequent in isolation, the proper formula is as we have previously established:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; If the IDF push a man into a river in Azzah $(I)$, he will drown $(Q)$.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;A man has fallen into the river in Gaza City! Hey!&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt; ($Q$ is true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Therefore, the IDF pushed him into the river in Azzah $(I)$.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You cannot use the truthfulness of a particular consequent to establish with certainty that one specific antecedent is the cause. As established in &lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-conditional-reasoning/&quot;&gt;Conditional Reasoning:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;A Material Implication looks like this:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;1. &lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; If it&#39;s raining ($P$), the ground must be wet ($Q$).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;2. &lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; It&#39;s raining ($P$ is true).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;3. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The ground is wet ($Q$ is true).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The reason this is important is that there is a crucial axiom to remember about Modus Ponens: &lt;strong&gt;the falsity of a particular antecedent does not necessarily lead to the falsity of the consequent.&lt;/strong&gt; Attempting to confirm the falsity of $Q$ based on the falsity of $P$ alone is known as the &lt;strong&gt;Fallacy of Denying the Antecedent.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;If the weather is sunny, it does not strictly mean the ground is not wet. A garden hose or a fire hydrant could easily make the ground wet. &lt;strong&gt;Not-$P$ does not lead to Not-$Q$, because the truthfulness of $Q$ does not depend on the truthfulness of $P$.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The same principle is true if the ground were wet (Affirming the Consequent). $Q &#92;rightarrow P$ is logically unsound because nothing guarantees that the outcome was caused specifically by rain. It could have been the same fire hydrant or garden hose from the example.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Likewise, the man from our example may have fallen into a river in Azzah, except that does not guarantee an IDF soldier pushed him inside:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A Hamas or PIJ terrorist could have pushed him.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Another man might have pushed him due to personal conflict.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;He might have fallen inside due to intoxication.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And arguably the most important takeaway from this section: &lt;strong&gt;this is the foundational mindset driving criminal investigations everywhere.&lt;/strong&gt; Finding a dead body somewhere says nothing about the culprit. Evidence must be gathered in order to discover whether a murder occurred to begin with, and understand the nature of the incident.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;non-sequitur&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Non-Sequitur&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A &lt;strong&gt;Non-Sequitur&lt;/strong&gt; is a logical fallacy that describes any conclusion that does not logically result from the established premises:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Criminals $(C)$ often carry guns $(G)$.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; An Israeli man was carrying a rifle $(G)$ on the street.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; This Israeli man is a criminal $(C)$.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There is no supporting evidence for this conclusion.&lt;/strong&gt; It is a Non-Sequitur precisely because the antecedent of carrying arms does &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; lead exclusively to criminal activity. Israel Defense Soldiers carry their weapons around during breaks, when off-duty for a few days, or when on duty directly within the boundaries of Israel:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/IDF_Soldiers_Walking.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Israel Defense Soldiers Taking a Walk.&quot; title=&quot;Israel Defense Soldiers Taking a Walk.&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Image Source: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.fidf.org/&quot;&gt;Friends of the IDF&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As seen in the example above, these young Jewish men are taking a leisurely walk while having a conversation. They are carrying rifles, but they are also wearing standard IDF uniforms. Concluding that they must be criminals due to the presence of rifles around their shoulders ignores all other possibilities - in this case, the fact these are soldiers defending their own country from terrorism.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another example of a Non-Sequitur is the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Criminals $(C)$ are known for cutting human flesh $(F)$.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; A person is cutting into the flesh of an unconscious human being $(F)$.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; That person is guaranteed to be a criminal ($C$ is true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This conclusion ignores the possibility that the individual &lt;strong&gt;might be a surgeon.&lt;/strong&gt; Surgeons perform incisions, which is the act of cutting human flesh in order to perform precise medical procedures on patients. Positing that the surgeon is a criminal is absurd - a &lt;strong&gt;Non-Sequitur.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;moving-forward&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Moving Forward&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Argumentative Logical Fallacies will not have a seminar.&lt;/strong&gt; I believe that the material within this lecture is exhaustive, which means that there is very little to expand upon apart from providing additional examples.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Instead, the upcoming Critical Thinking Fundamentals lesson is going to be a lecture on &lt;strong&gt;Rhetorical Logical Fallacies.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-logical-operations-seminar/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/ctf3lo.png&quot; alt=&quot;Critical Thinking Fundamentals - Logical Operations&quot; title=&quot;Critical Thinking Fundamentals - Logical Operations&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-logical-operations/&quot;&gt;In the previous lecture,&lt;/a&gt; we expanded upon the foundations of conditional reasoning by examining inclusive disjunctions, exclusive disjunctions, and logical contradictions. We demonstrated how bad-faith actors manipulate disjunctive structures and weaponize contradictions to confuse audiences.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this seminar, we are going to dive into the practical application of these logical operations. We will examine Double Negations, Biconditionals (Material Equivalence), and De Morgan’s Laws, demonstrating how formal logic serves as an unassailable shield against antizionist propaganda.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;double-negations-in-geopolitical-discourse&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Double Negations in Geopolitical Discourse&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;the-principle-of-double-negation-elimination&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;The Principle of Double Negation Elimination&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In classical propositional logic, the &lt;strong&gt;Law of Double Negation&lt;/strong&gt; states that if a proposition is negated twice, it is logically equivalent to the original affirmative proposition:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;$$&#92;neg &#92;neg P &#92;equiv P$$&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With text: &lt;strong&gt;Not-Not-P is logically equivalent to P.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Denying that an entity is non-defensive $(&#92;neg &#92;neg D)$ is logically equivalent to asserting that it is defensive $(D)$.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; The Israel Defense Forces strictly operate under a defensive mandate to protect sovereign borders and citizens ($D$ is true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: It is false to claim that the IDF are non-defensive ($&#92;neg &#92;neg D$ is true).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While this seems elementary in pure mathematics, bad-faith political discourse frequently deploys convoluted double negatives to obscure moral accountability.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;biconditionals-and-material-equivalence&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Biconditionals and Material Equivalence&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;the-strict-logic-of-%22if-and-only-if%22&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;The Strict Logic of &amp;quot;If and Only If&amp;quot;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In conditional reasoning, a standard implication ($P &#92;rightarrow Q$) only flows in one direction: the truth of $P$ guarantees $Q$, but $Q$ does not necessarily guarantee $P$.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A &lt;strong&gt;Biconditional&lt;/strong&gt; (also known as &lt;strong&gt;Material Equivalence&lt;/strong&gt;) occurs when two propositions are mutually dependent on one another. $P$ is true if and only if $Q$ is true:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;$$P &#92;leftrightarrow Q$$&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With text: &lt;strong&gt;P if and only if Q.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The biconditional can be broken down into two simultaneous conditional implications:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;$$(P &#92;rightarrow Q) &#92;land (Q &#92;rightarrow P)$$&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a biconditional operation, both propositions must share the exact same truth value. If one is true, the other must be true; if one is false, the other must be false.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;israeli-citizenship-and-voting-rights&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Israeli Citizenship and Voting Rights&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In &lt;a href=&quot;http://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-conditional-reasoning/&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Critical Thinking Fundamentals - Conditional Reasoning&amp;quot;,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; we used Israeli citizenship granting voting rights as an example of a Modus Ponens:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; If a person is a citizen of Israel $(P)$, they have the right to vote in Israel $(Q)$.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Sufian is a citizen of Israel ($P$ is true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Therefore, Sufian has the right to vote in Israel ($Q$ is true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is a biconditional syllogism precisely because Israeli citizenship $(P)$ is the sole &lt;strong&gt;sufficient and necessary condition&lt;/strong&gt; for voting rights in Israel $(Q)$. Consequently, if any person is confirmed to have voting rights in Israel, then it must mean they are a citizen of Israel because there is no other condition in existence that could satisfy this consequent.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;establishing-authentic-equivalence.-indigenous-lineage&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Establishing Authentic Equivalence. Indigenous Lineage&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Conversely, an authentic biconditional can be established when evaluating indigenous territorial rights:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Let $I =$ An indigenous population possessing uninterrupted cultural, linguistic, historical, and genetic roots to the Land of Israel.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Let $J =$ The Jewish people.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;$$J &#92;leftrightarrow I$$&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Archaeological records, continuous historical presence, and linguistic continuity prove that being the Jewish people is materially equivalent to being the indigenous inhabitants of Israel, Judea-Samaria, and Azzah. You may read more on this topic &lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-conditional-reasoning-seminar/#antizionism-is-antisemitism&quot;&gt;here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;de-morgan&#39;s-laws&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;De Morgan&#39;s Laws&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;De Morgan&#39;s Laws&lt;/strong&gt; describe the mathematical rules governing how negations distribute across Conjunctions and Disjunctions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;negation-of-a-conjunction&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Negation of a Conjunction&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This law states that asserting the falsity of a conjunction means that &lt;strong&gt;at least one&lt;/strong&gt; of the components must be false:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;$$&#92;neg (A &#92;land B) &#92;equiv &#92;neg A &#92;lor &#92;neg B$$&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With text: &lt;strong&gt;Not (A and B) is equivalent to Not-A or Not-B.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can internalize this law with the following example.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Imagine you are ordering food at the restaurant, and one of the menu entries is a combination of a cheeseburger $(B)$ and fries $(F)$. Once the waiter arrives with your order, you only receive your cheeseburger $(B)$ without any fries $(&#92;neg F)$.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is a Negation of the Conjunction. The menu said you will receive both a burger and fries $(B &#92;land F)$, but you did &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; receive both of them $&#92;neg (B &#92;land F)$. The fries are missing. Likewise, if you were served only fries without a burger, then you have $&#92;neg (B &#92;land F)$. In very simple terms, we are negating the &amp;quot;AND&amp;quot; (which is what a conjunction is) because one of the items is missing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;negation-of-a-disjunction&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Negation of a Disjunction&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The second law states that asserting the falsity of an inclusive disjunction is logically equivalent to asserting that both individual components are false:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;$$&#92;neg (A &#92;lor B) &#92;equiv &#92;neg A &#92;land &#92;neg B$$&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With text: &lt;strong&gt;Not (A or B) is equivalent to Not-A and Not-B.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Like before, we are negating the logical operation itself. Saying that $&#92;neg (A &#92;lor B)$ (the disjunction is false) is equivalent to saying both antecedents are false.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We can use food as an example once more. A restaurant menu says that the surprise dish you are to receive is either risotto $(R)$ or steak $(S)$. This Exclusive Disjunction is $R &#92;oplus S$ (strictly either R or S). When the waiter arrives with your food, you notice that you are being served a bowl of chicken soup.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You were not served risotto nor steak $&#92;neg(R &#92;lor S)$, rendering the entire disjunction false.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The reason we use the &amp;quot;OR&amp;quot; sign $(&#92;lor)$ in this law instead of &amp;quot;XOR&amp;quot; $(&#92;oplus)$ is that if you negate an exclusive disjunction, you are saying that the strict requirement of either $R$ or $S$ is false, which means you might receive both of them as a surprise.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In our previous lecture, we demonstrated this exact mechanic when evaluating coin flip outcomes:&lt;br /&gt;
$$&#92;neg (H &#92;lor T) &#92;rightarrow &#92;neg (Q &#92;lor W)$$&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If neither heads nor tails occurs, neither of the resulting consequences can occur.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;advanced-reductio-ad-absurdum-(proof-by-contradiction)&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Advanced Reductio ad Absurdum (Proof by Contradiction)&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the lecture, we introduced the concept of &lt;strong&gt;Reductio ad Absurdum&lt;/strong&gt; - proving the falsity of a proposition by showing that its logical outcome results in an impossible contradiction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The formal architecture of a Proof by Contradiction operates as follows:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Assume the opponent&#39;s premise $(P)$ is temporarily true for the sake of argument.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Deduce the necessary real-world consequences of $P$ ($P &#92;rightarrow Q$).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Demonstrate that the consequence $Q$ contradicts empirical reality or known axioms ($&#92;neg Q$).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Conclude that the original premise must be false ($&#92;neg P$).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;$$[P &#92;rightarrow (Q &#92;land &#92;neg Q)] &#92;rightarrow &#92;neg P$$&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With text: &lt;strong&gt;If P results in Q and Not-Q existing simultaneously, it causes a contradiction that confirms P is false.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;moving-forward&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Moving Forward&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the formal mechanics of logical operations, conjunctions, disjunctions, equivalences, and proofs by contradiction fully established, we have completed the core mathematical foundation of propositional logic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the &lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-argumentative-fallacies/&quot;&gt;upcoming lecture,&lt;/a&gt; we will examine &lt;strong&gt;Argumentative Logical Fallacies&lt;/strong&gt; and explore how bad-faith actors actively commit structural errors within their syllogisms to deceive the public.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sufian M&#39;Barki&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;citations&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Citations&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[1]&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;cite-1&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://israeled.org/israel-declaration-independence/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot;&gt;Israel&#39;s Declaration of Independence from 1948&lt;/a&gt; explicitly confirms that all ethnic groups, including Arabs, are to receive equal rights in their participation in Israel:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;Exiled from Palestine, the Jewish people remained faithful to it in all the countries of their dispersion, never ceasing to pray and hope for their return and the restoration of their national freedom.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;(...)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;In the midst of wanton aggression, we yet call upon the Arab inhabitants of the State of Israel to return to the ways of peace and play their part in the development of the State, with full and equal citizenship and the representation in all its bodies and institutions, provisional or permanent.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;We offer peace and amity to all the neighboring states and their peoples, and invite them to cooperate with the independent Jewish nation for the common good of all. The State of Israel is ready to contribute its full share to the peaceful progress and development of the Middle East.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

    <title>Critical Thinking Fundamentals - Logical Operations</title>
    <link href="https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-logical-operations/"/>
    <updated>2026-08-31T09:46:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-logical-operations/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/ctf3lo.png&quot; alt=&quot;Critical Thinking Fundamentals - Logical Operations&quot; title=&quot;Critical Thinking Fundamentals - Logical Operations&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The principles of categorical reasoning demonstrated the nature of deductive argumentation - where a conclusion about the particular follows from the whole. Conditional reasoning, on the other hand, showcased that oftentimes, consequents can only be true when one or more antecedents (prerequisites) are true as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-conditional-reasoning-seminar/#logical-operations-in-conditional-syllogisms&quot;&gt;In the last seminar,&lt;/a&gt; we explored two logical operations in conditional syllogisms - conjunctions and inclusive disjunctions. This time, we are going to take a look at additional operations, continuing off disjunctions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;inclusive-and-exclusive-disjunctions&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Inclusive and Exclusive Disjunctions&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;inclusive-disjunctions&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Inclusive Disjunctions&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As established before, &lt;strong&gt;Inclusive Disjunctions&lt;/strong&gt; are a type of logical operation where only one of multiple sufficient conditions need to be true in order for their associated consequent to be true.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Expressing hatred toward Jewish traditions $(A)$ is antisemitism $(Q)$.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Excluding Jewish people from events or activities on grounds of their ethnicity and religion $(B)$ is antisemitism $(Q)$.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Julian did not invite Lior to his party because the latter is Jewish ($B$ is true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: Julian is antisemitic ($Q$ is true).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this syllogism, we can see that the truthfulness of only one of these two sufficient conditions - $B$ - leads to the consequent $Q$ of antisemitism. The same would be the case if $A$ were true:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Julian ridiculed Lior for wearing his Kippah, comparing it to an &amp;quot;ugly hat.&amp;quot; ($A$ is true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: Julian is antisemitic ($Q$ is true).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The inclusive disjunction can be portrayed with the following logical formula:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;$$A &#92;lor B &#92;rightarrow Q$$&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With text: &lt;strong&gt;Either A or B leads to Q.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In computer science, this logical operation is labeled &lt;strong&gt;OR.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;exclusive-disjunctions-%26-negations&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Exclusive Disjunctions &amp;amp; Negations&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In &lt;strong&gt;Exclusive Disjunctions,&lt;/strong&gt; the following rules come into play. In order for the consequent $Q$ (or one of various consequents) to be true:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;$A$ and $B$ cannot be false at the same time.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Either $A$ or $B$ can be true at a time, but both cannot be true simultaneously.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If $A$ is true, then $B$ is false. This is marked with a &lt;strong&gt;Negation Sign&lt;/strong&gt; in logical operations:&lt;br /&gt;
$$A &#92;rightarrow &#92;neg B$$&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For our first example, we will take a look at military logic:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; An individual present in an active warzone can either be a combatant $(C)$ or a civilian $(N)$, but they cannot be both at the same time $(C &#92;oplus N)$.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; An armed, masked individual in &lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/the-indigenous-name-of-the-city-of-gaza/&quot;&gt;Azzah&lt;/a&gt; is shooting at IDF soldiers ($C$ is true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: The masked individual is not a civilian non-combatant $(&#92;neg N)$.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It does not matter what the masked person&#39;s affiliation is - whether they are a Hamas terrorist, a PIJ terrorist, an actor from another terrorist faction, or a private fringe individual. They are not a civilian non-combatant if they open fire at the Israel Defense Forces.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The formula is:&lt;br /&gt;
$$C &#92;rightarrow &#92;neg N$$&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We can demonstrate another exclusive disjunction using a familiar example from the real world:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; In a coin flip, heads $(H)$ represents painting my nails black $(Q)$.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; In the same framework, tails $(T)$ means I will paint my nails white $(W)$.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; After tossing my coin, I got tails ($T$ is true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: I will paint my nails white ($W$ is true).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Notice the following logic - without ever flipping my coin, I cannot get either heads or tails, meaning I don&#39;t get to decide what color to paint my nails within that framework. Meanwhile, it is impossible to get two results from a single coin flip, and I cannot choose to paint my nails black and white at the same time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The logical formula for this exclusive disjunction is as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
$$(H &#92;rightarrow Q) &#92;land (T &#92;rightarrow W) &#92;land (H &#92;oplus T) &#92;rightarrow (Q &#92;oplus W)$$&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In text: &lt;strong&gt;If H leads to Q, and T leads to W, and strictly either H or T occurs at a time, then strictly either Q or W will result.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This exclusive disjunction has two conditions leading to two different results, neither of which can ever exist simultaneously. You have only one condition, and strictly only one result.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If both $H$ and $T$ are false, you cannot get $Q$ nor $W$ as a result:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;$$&#92;neg H &#92;land &#92;neg T &#92;rightarrow &#92;neg Q &#92;land &#92;neg W$$&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Or:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;$$&#92;neg (H &#92;lor T) &#92;rightarrow &#92;neg (Q &#92;lor W)$$&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Both formulas here are correct and communicate the same idea: &lt;strong&gt;If H and T are both false simultaneously (if neither H nor T occurs), then they will not result in Q nor W.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;logical-contradictions&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Logical Contradictions&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A &lt;strong&gt;Contradiction&lt;/strong&gt; occurs when any statement asserts that a proposition is both true and false at the exact same time, in the exact same respect:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;P and Not-P&lt;/strong&gt; is the formula for a contradiction: $P &#92;land &#92;neg P$&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Logical Axiom: A contradiction is always false under every possible circumstance.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We can take a look at an example contradiction:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Let $P =$ &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Hamza is a citizen of Israel.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Therefore $&#92;neg P =$ &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Hamza is not a citizen of Israel.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Contradiction:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Hamza is a citizen of Israel, and Hamza is not a citizen of Israel.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt; $(P &#92;land &#92;neg P)$&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Two other examples I can immediately think of come from gaming pop culture and one of my serious articles on The Wasp Alloy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In &lt;strong&gt;Genshin Impact,&lt;/strong&gt; when the Dendro Archon Nahida demands that the Fatui Harbinger Dottore explain why he has shown up at the Sanctuary of Surasthana, given he had allegedly already left Sumeru, he responds with a contradiction on purpose.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He infamously states: &amp;quot;I left Sumeru ($P$), but I also stayed in Sumeru $(&#92;neg P)$.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course, the in-universe explanation is that he used to have several clones of himself performing inhumane experiments across the entire world. One of his clones did leave Sumeru to create this illusion, but another remained.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The reason this example is so important is that it demonstrates how bad-faith actors can purposefully employ contradictions in an attempt to confuse those around them and deceive them with hidden variables. The statement only got resolved because Dottore&#39;s linguistic trick was eventually revealed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;proof-by-contradiction-(reductio-ad-absurdum)&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Proof by Contradiction &lt;em&gt;(Reductio ad Absurdum)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The second example is from the article &lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/large-language-models-burn-propallies-to-pieces/#:~:text=Schr%C3%B6dinger%27s%20Gaza&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Large Language Models Burn Propallies to Pieces.&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt; We can use it to explore a rhetorical tactic in logical discourse known as &lt;strong&gt;Reductio ad Absurdum.&lt;/strong&gt; It translates to &amp;quot;reduction to absurdity,&amp;quot; and I employ it very often as a writer and activist.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Below is one of my favorite terms in Hasbara activism, specifically because it&#39;s so damn hilarious:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gemini.google.com/app&quot;&gt;Gemini&lt;/a&gt; once described worldwide antisemitism and the narratives surrounding it as &lt;strong&gt;Schrödinger&#39;s Gaza:&lt;/strong&gt; both &amp;quot;destroyed&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;genocided,&amp;quot; yet thriving with a brand new bustling &amp;quot;Nova Restaurant&amp;quot; named after October 7th, complete with regular customers! That is the fucking equivalent of calling your new Green Deli &amp;quot;Shoah Holocaust Café&amp;quot; by the way.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During a supposed active genocide in Azzah - one that is described as &amp;quot;mindless destruction,&amp;quot; it would be impossible for the Arab population to open restaurants with revolting and inflammatory themes, gyms, supermarkets, and so on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Azzah is either destroyed $(P)$ or it isn&#39;t $(&#92;neg P)$. It cannot be both at the same time $(P &#92;land &#92;neg P)$.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The actual truth is that a large portion of the Northern Azzah Strip is destroyed. However, what people tend to withhold from the public is that the IDF are actually &lt;strong&gt;demolishing terrorist infrastructure,&lt;/strong&gt; not your average civilian settlements&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-logical-operations/#cite-1&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[1]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-logical-operations/#cite-2&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[2]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Deleting terrorists and their bases while actively saving civilians and providing them with humanitarian aid is not &amp;quot;genocide,&amp;quot; nor is it indiscriminate &amp;quot;destruction.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;moving-forward&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Moving Forward&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the &lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-logical-operations-seminar/&quot;&gt;upcoming seminar,&lt;/a&gt; we will explore even more detailed examples of these logical operations, such as double negations and equivalences, fallacies (unsound and invalid operations), and more.&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Critical Thinking Fundamentals - Conditional Reasoning: Seminar</title>
    <link href="https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-conditional-reasoning-seminar/"/>
    <updated>2026-08-29T11:08:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-conditional-reasoning-seminar/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/ctf2cr.png&quot; alt=&quot;Critical Thinking Fundamentals - Conditional Reasoning&quot; title=&quot;Critical Thinking Fundamentals - Conditional Reasoning&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We previously explored the core principles behind Conditional Reasoning in the Critical Thinking Fundamentals series. &lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-conditional-reasoning/&quot;&gt;You may revise the material here, as the knowledge from the lecture is required for this seminar.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;conditional-reasoning-in-hasbara&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Conditional Reasoning in Hasbara&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I believe that the greatest strength of Hasbara activism is its ability to ground itself in formal logic. Writing conditional syllogisms offers different rhetorical possibilities compared to categorical ones, which serves to fortify our case even further.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;defining-zionists-via-a-sufficient-condition&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Defining Zionists via a Sufficient Condition&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The simplest syllogism we can explore is defining what Zionists are via Modus Ponens. Using an example individual named Jonathan:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; People who support the independent self-determination of Jews in Israel $(P)$ are Zionists $(Q)$.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Jonathan supports Jewish self-determination in Israel ($P$ is true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Jonathan is a Zionist ($Q$ is true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Online rhetoric often tries to overcomplicate what being a Zionist entails. It does not involve being an advocate or dedicating large blocks of time to Hasbara activism. What makes one a Zionist starts and ends with their support of Israel&#39;s existence as the Jewish state, which is a &lt;strong&gt;Sufficient Condition.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;necessary-conditions-in-statehood-support&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Necessary Conditions in Statehood Support&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another example involves bringing up one of the necessary conditions to be a Zionist, which is supporting statehood as a concept.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; It is required to support the existence of nation-states $(K)$ to be a Zionist $(W)$.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Jonathan supports the existence of nation-states ($K$ is true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: Jonathan meets the prerequisite to be a Zionist ($W$ is true).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But supporting statehood alone is not sufficient to make someone a Zionist $(Q)$ - it is merely a &lt;strong&gt;Necessary Condition.&lt;/strong&gt; In other words, the letter $W$ represents the potential to be a Zionist.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Case in point - all antizionist activists chant &amp;quot;Free Palestine&amp;quot; while reveling in the idea of destroying Israel. Meanwhile, anarchists (who oppose statehood) can never be Zionists because Zionism is antithetical to anarchism.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;nested-antecedents&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Nested Antecedents&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Instead of writing multiple Modus Ponens operations, it is possible to present all of the above via a single syllogism:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; It is required to support the existence of nation-states $(K)$ to be a Zionist $(Q)$.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; People who support the independent self-determination of Jews in Israel $(P)$ are Zionists $(Q)$.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Jonathan supports the existence of nation-states ($K$ is true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Jonathan supports Jewish self-determination in Israel ($P$ is true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: Jonathan is a Zionist ($Q$ is true).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;logical-operations-in-conditional-syllogisms&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Logical Operations in Conditional Syllogisms&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;conjunctions&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Conjunctions&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What if several conditions are necessary in order for their combined truthfulness to be sufficient for a consequent?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is called a &lt;strong&gt;Conjunction.&lt;/strong&gt; In general, a conjunction is the combination of multiple items, and in formal logic, it is an operation that combines multiple premises, antecedents, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let&#39;s say that in order to drink water, it must be clean and at a reasonable temperature (not frozen or boiling hot):&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Water must be clean from contaminants $(C)$ to be drinkable $(D)$.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Water must have a safe temperature $(T)$ to be drinkable $(D)$.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Jonathan has a water bottle containing water that is both clean ($C$ is true) and cool ($T$ is true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: Jonathan&#39;s water is drinkable ($D$ is true).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The logical formula for this &lt;strong&gt;Conjunctive Modus Ponens&lt;/strong&gt; is as follows:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;$$C &#92;land T &#92;rightarrow D$$&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With text: &lt;strong&gt;C conjunct T leads to D.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One could say that &lt;strong&gt;the combined condition&lt;/strong&gt; of the necessary conditions $C$ and $T$ is &lt;strong&gt;sufficient.&lt;/strong&gt; Or, the conjunction of the necessary $C$ and $T$ is sufficient for $D$. But in isolation, neither are sufficient. You cannot safely drink contaminated water, nor can you drink water that is going to burn your entire mouth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;disjunctions&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Disjunctions&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If there are multiple sufficient conditions that fulfill the truthfulness of the consequent by themselves, combining them in a logical operation is called an &lt;strong&gt;Inclusive Disjunction.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Like conjunctions, disjunctions are the combination of multiple items, premises, etc. The difference is that conjunctions stand for &lt;strong&gt;AND,&lt;/strong&gt; while inclusive disjunctions mean &lt;strong&gt;OR.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We can use Israeli citizenship legislation as an example of an inclusive disjunction, and myself as the example. I will limit the syllogism to &lt;strong&gt;three sufficient conditions&lt;/strong&gt; for simplicity&#39;s sake:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; One can be Jewish $(J)$ to be eligible for Israeli citizenship $(I)$.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; An individual can marry a Jewish person $(M)$ to be eligible for Israeli citizenship $(I)$.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; A person can marry any Israeli citizen, non-Jewish included $(N)$ to be eligible for Israeli citizenship $(I)$.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Sufian will marry an Israeli Jewish man ($M &#92;land N$ are true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: Sufian will be eligible for Israeli citizenship ($I$ is true).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whether it&#39;s $J$, $M$, or $N$, one of them being true makes the consequent I true as well, making this operation an inclusive disjunction:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;$$J &#92;lor M &#92;lor N &#92;rightarrow I$$&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With text: &lt;strong&gt;Either J, or M, or N leads to I.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;antizionism-is-antisemitism&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Antizionism is Antisemitism&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This particular thesis can be proven using both categorical and conditional reasoning, but we will only explore a conditional syllogism for the time being.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Like before, we must begin by establishing all objective definitions of the terms we are using.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ajc.org/translatehate/Zionist&quot;&gt;The American Jewish Committee remains one of the few sources that correctly describe Zionism as a liberation movement. More specifically, it is an ideology to re-establish and support the existence of a Jewish state in the Biblical Land of Israel. Likewise, a Zionist is someone who supports Jews&#39; right to self-determination in their historical homeland, and Israel&#39;s right to exist.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We can use &lt;strong&gt;Applied Epistemology&lt;/strong&gt; to prove this definition is correct.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In short, &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistemology&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;epistemology&lt;/strong&gt; is the philosophical discipline of studying knowledge, and its principles can be used to confirm why anything we believe to be true is genuinely true.&lt;/a&gt; It is completely immune to handwaving and other fallacious rhetorical tactics.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In an upcoming lecture-seminar pair on epistemology, we will dive much deeper into this branch of philosophy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;the-various-narratives-on-zionism&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;The Various Narratives on Zionism&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The prevailing narrative on the definition of Zionism is that, allegedly, it represents an ethnonationalist movement that seeks to establish a Jewish State in the historical land of Palestine, ensuring the population is as Jewish as possible with as few &amp;quot;Palestinians&amp;quot; (Arabs) as possible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The glaring problem is that this description does not match reality. &lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-introduction-seminar/&quot;&gt;Quoting directly from the previous seminar:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Since these healthcare providers are explicitly stated to practice their treatment in Arabic and Turkish, as well as Hebrew, this immediately points to the fact that &lt;strong&gt;all patients speaking those languages can visit the Sheba Medical Center all the same.&lt;/strong&gt; In an apartheid regime, individuals of varying ethnic backgrounds who spoke different languages &lt;strong&gt;would not be treated in the same medical center, nor would that center&#39;s healthcare providers accommodate the languages patients speak.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This showcases that Arabic and Turkish speakers are able to occupy incredibly important medical positions. Khaled Assaf is an especially important example, &lt;a href=&quot;https://share.google/aimode/ZDxhPUpeKiglK5IdG&quot;&gt;as his name is completely Arabic.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Within the Knesset, which is essentially Israel&#39;s government, numerous political parties exist, &lt;a href=&quot;https://israelpolicyforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Israels-Political-Parties-and-Breakdown-of-the-Outgoing-Knesset-2022.pdf&quot;&gt;most notably the Ra&#39;am Party - an Arab party with roots in the Islamic movement.&lt;/a&gt; Their leader is Mansour Abbas, &lt;a href=&quot;https://share.google/aimode/dn3rkBbSPGb3HwYaD&quot;&gt;which is a traditional Arabic name as well.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;In case of doubts, &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansour_Abbas&quot;&gt;Mansour Abbas&#39; Wikipedia page states that he was born and raised in Israel, and has attended the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;We have established that &lt;strong&gt;there exist Arab political parties in Israel&#39;s Knesset, and that they have Muslim Arab politicians born and raised in Israel with equal rights.&lt;/strong&gt; And given that Israel is the Jewish State, the existence of Arab political parties within its government render it &lt;strong&gt;pluralistic and democratic.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Given the comprehensive evidence of Arab presence in Israel, as well as their possession of full rights alongside Jews, it becomes extremely difficult to maintain the idea that Zionism is an &amp;quot;ethnic cleansing&amp;quot; movement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jews are also indigenous to Israel, as proven by the categorical deductive syllogism in that same seminar:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Secondly, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.perplexity.ai/search/36fcd4b7-5fc2-4ed7-822d-45b3bfc27ff1&quot;&gt;the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah are ancient. They have existed for about 3000 years, and their Jewish population has been ever-present in the region up until this day.&lt;/a&gt; Jews have preserved their religion, their language, and all of their traditions.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(...)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;In any case, with the facts established, let us begin writing our argumentation:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;1. &lt;strong&gt;Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Indigenous Peoples are the original inhabitants of a region with cultural, social, and historical ties to their ancestral lands.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;2. &lt;strong&gt;Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; The Kingdoms of Israel and Judah housed Jews for thousands of years before being conquered, and Jewish presence in the region remained constant to this day.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;3. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Jews are an Indigenous People, and the original inhabitants of Israel and Judah.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This argument is &lt;strong&gt;sound.&lt;/strong&gt; Its premises lead to a truthful conclusion, which can be verified. &lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-introduction/#:~:text=This%20is%20called%20Deductive%20Reasoning%2C%20where%20the%20general%20leads%20to%20a%20sound%20conclusion%20about%20a%20particular%20case.&quot;&gt;As I explained in the lecture,&lt;/a&gt; the category of indigenous people is the &lt;strong&gt;general,&lt;/strong&gt; and Jews are the &lt;strong&gt;particular case.&lt;/strong&gt; This is what makes our argument &lt;strong&gt;deductive.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;More importantly, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.perplexity.ai/search/e3d6d3a4-e9f5-41c9-bdfa-524ef9bf64c3&quot;&gt;the term &amp;quot;Palestine&amp;quot; (or &amp;quot;Syria-Palæstina&amp;quot;) was invented by the Roman Empire who had colonized Israel and Judah at the time.&lt;/a&gt; After the Jewish Bar Kokhba Revolt (132-136 CE), which attempted to liberate the Jewish homeland from the Romans, Emperor Hadrian renamed the entire region to &amp;quot;Syria-Palæstina&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This replaced an ethnically Jewish name (Judæa, &amp;quot;Land of the Jews/Judah&amp;quot;) with a geographic term linked to the Philistines (Palæstina), Israel&#39;s ancient coastal enemies, who no longer existed as a distinct polity. &lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/the-indigenous-name-of-the-city-of-gaza/&quot;&gt;My historical research into the indigenous name of Azzah&lt;/a&gt; provides extra details on the matter, which could not be more relevant:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Philistines were an Ancient Greek tribe, and their colonial settlement was situated around the city of Azzah in the form of a &lt;a href=&quot;https://anglo-norman.net/entry/Pentapolis&quot;&gt;pentapolis.&lt;/a&gt; As it has been previously established, &lt;a href=&quot;https://pastebin.com/uTT91J3B&quot;&gt;they were far from a benign, peaceful tribe.&lt;/a&gt; In fact, Philistia was Ancient Israel and Judah&#39;s adversary, and they waged aggressive conflict against Jews on numerous occasions.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(...)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Once David defeated Goliath in battle, &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Israel_and_Judah#/media/File:Edward_Weller,_The_Kingdoms_of_Judah_and_Israel_(FL36012236_3897579)_(cropped).jpg&quot;&gt;the Israelites managed to retrieve the small piece of land previously occupied by Philistines,&lt;/a&gt; defeating their ancient adversary.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(...)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.albert-tours-israel.com/post/history-of-gaza&quot;&gt;The city of Azzah is over 5000 years old, and it belonged to the Ancient Canaanites (including Israelites).&lt;/a&gt; It began in the Early Bronze Age as an indigenous Canaanite cultural and agricultural hub with major archaeological sites like Tell es-Sakan. The term &amp;quot;Philistine&amp;quot; (and thus the Roman term &amp;quot;Palestine&amp;quot;) originates from the Hebrew &amp;quot;פלשת&amp;quot; - or, the Semitic root &amp;quot;פ-ל-ש,&amp;quot; which means &lt;strong&gt;invader.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Not only does &amp;quot;Palestine&amp;quot; refer to the Jewish homeland of Israel, but the term quite literally comes from the Semitic root for &lt;em&gt;an invader.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, since the re-establishment of Israel in 1948 all the way up until today, Israel has granted full rights to all ethnic groups, which matches its Declaration of Independence&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-conditional-reasoning-seminar/#cite-1&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[1]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The conclusion is inescapable: Zionism cannot be an ethnic cleansing movement given Israel&#39;s Ancient history, present-day reality, and its explicit Declaration of Independence that is based on Zionism. Instead, it is a liberation movement that seeks to re-establish Israel and grant all Jews worldwide safety and security from foreign oppression.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;resuming-the-conditional-syllogism&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Resuming the Conditional Syllogism&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now that we have proven beyond any doubt that Zionism is a Jewish movement for self-determination and sovereignty, we can continue our conditional syllogism.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The definition of antisemitism is hatred and bigotry against Jews as an ethnic and religious minority.&lt;/strong&gt; Coined in the late 19th century to give anti-Jewish hostility a modern political veneer, it ultimately culminated in the horrors of the Holocaust (the Shoah).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Examples of antisemitism $(L)$ include:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ridiculing traditional Jewish garments based on preconceived notions $(A)$.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Making broad generalizing statements about Jews, especially if they are offensive $(B)$: &amp;quot;All Jews have big noses.&amp;quot;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Denying services to Jewish people based on their identity $(C)$: &amp;quot;We do not treat Jewish patients here.&amp;quot;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In other words, &lt;strong&gt;either one of these prerequisites, which are sufficient on their own, make one an antisemite.&lt;/strong&gt; That is an inclusive disjunction:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;$$A &#92;lor B &#92;lor C &#92;rightarrow L$$&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thousands of people proudly declare that they are &amp;quot;antizionist,&amp;quot; attempting to sell an insidious illusion of &amp;quot;nuance&amp;quot; as their justification: &amp;quot;We don&#39;t hate Jews, we just hate Israel! We are antizionists, not antisemites! It&#39;s not rocket science!&amp;quot; $(Z)$&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Being against Jewish sovereignty and national independence &lt;strong&gt;is&lt;/strong&gt; antisemitism, and mistreating Jewish Israelis because of their identity is antisemitism as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; If an individual or group of people express any kind of hatred and bigotry against Jews (Sufficient $P$), they are antisemitic $(L)$.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Antizionists express hatred and bigotry toward Zionism, which is Jewish self-determination and freedom ($P$ is true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: Antizionists are antisemitic ($L$ is true).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And because we marked antizionism with $Z$, the updated inclusive disjunction becomes:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;$$A &#92;lor B &#92;lor C &#92;lor Z &#92;rightarrow L$$&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Only one of them needs to be true in order to trigger the truthfulness of L (antisemitism).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;Exiled from Palestine, the Jewish people remained faithful to it in all the countries of their dispersion, never ceasing to pray and hope for their return and the restoration of their national freedom.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;(...)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;In the midst of wanton aggression, we yet call upon the Arab inhabitants of the State of Israel to return to the ways of peace and play their part in the development of the State, with full and equal citizenship and the representation in all its bodies and institutions, provisional or permanent.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;We offer peace and amity to all the neighboring states and their peoples, and invite them to cooperate with the independent Jewish nation for the common good of all. The State of Israel is ready to contribute its full share to the peaceful progress and development of the Middle East.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

    <title>The Jerusalem Post&#39;s Journalistic Malpractice</title>
    <link href="https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/the-jerusalem-posts-journalistic-malpractice/"/>
    <updated>2026-08-18T14:43:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/the-jerusalem-posts-journalistic-malpractice/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/tjparticless.png&quot; alt=&quot;An article of The Jerusalem Post exaggerating what is otherwise a completely mundane procedure&quot; title=&quot;Jerusalem Post Article&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Journalists have a responsibility to their readers and to ontological, epistemological, and ethical principles. They must engage in honest reporting of incidents that accurately portrays every party involved, the chronological order of events, and genuine violations that have occurred.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Analyzing the context of IDF soldiers using a washable marker to label Arab Jihadists who have been detained for planning a terrorist attack, I was unable to uncover any serious violations of the IDF&#39;s Purity of Arms and Ethical Code of Conduct.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://share.google/aimode/nOkqnmzKmMcOASAzo&quot;&gt;Using markers on prisoners of war is standard practice.&lt;/a&gt; Moreover, even medical staff label victims of mass casualties with markers. Nothing about this is unusual or unethical. While IDF commanders may have apologized in front of media representatives, they have done so because marker labeling is not standard practice in similar Judea-Samaria-related IDF operations, not because of any individual wrongdoing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The moral inversion of the situation is grotesque. The Jerusalem Post focuses entirely on the fact Arab terrorists were labeled with a washable marker as if they have had these labels permanently tattooed on them, and yet they bury the true context - counterterrorism - within several paragraphs of vague moral alignment theater as a mere footnote.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/news-outlets-have-already-begun-inverting-israeli-bill-narrative/#:~:text=Understanding%20Terrorist%20Indoctrination&quot;&gt;Terrorists have crossed a moral event horizon.&lt;/a&gt; Treating them as human beings worthy of dignity is pornographic in its audacity. It caters to the naïve illusion that no matter how demonic your actions, you can be absolved from consequences, and are capable of a romanticized &amp;quot;change of heart.&amp;quot; In other words:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The IDF has done nothing wrong.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The commanders had nothing to apologize for.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Jerusalem Post has been engaging in journalistic malpractice regularly.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;weasel-terminology-as-a-manipulation-tactic&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Weasel Terminology as a Manipulation Tactic&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You will notice that The Jerusalem Post&#39;s writers are very careful in how they frame their narrative in order to comply with Israeli editorial laws superficially.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/tjp_slide5.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Instagram slide of TJP&#39;s article claiming that &amp;quot;the IDF are under scrutiny&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;critics state this violates international law.&amp;quot;&quot; title=&quot;Slide 5 of Instagram Variant of TJP&#39;s Article&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;analyzing-the-claims&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Analyzing the Claims&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;The IDF has come under scrutiny for its actions in Kusra, near Nablus. (...) The military will present a plan to transfer West Bank civilian enforcement to the police. Critics say the plan violates international law.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Jerusalem Post does not clarify who has performed said scrutiny, who the critics are, and for what reason they believe international law is being violated. In reality, the IDF is under &lt;em&gt;constant&lt;/em&gt; scrutiny - because the definition of &amp;quot;scrutiny&amp;quot; is a focused, detailed inspection of something. Antizionists constantly scrutinize the IDF. That does not make any of their spiel morally nor logically sound.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Deliberately omitting the parties exercising said scrutiny is called &lt;strong&gt;Using Weasel Words.&lt;/strong&gt; It is done to purposefully smuggle a specific conclusion into the reader&#39;s mind, with the intent to easily reject criticism by employing a rhetorical trap called &lt;strong&gt;Plausible Deniability:&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;quot;Well, we simply reported what is being said; we never said we &lt;em&gt;agree&lt;/em&gt; with the claim!&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That is &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; honest reporting. When bringing up external parties &amp;quot;scrutinizing the IDF,&amp;quot; these parties must be clearly defined:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who&lt;/strong&gt; are the critics?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which&lt;/strong&gt; specific article, treaty, or statute is alleged to be violated?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What&lt;/strong&gt; is the exact legal text, and does the action meet the statutory definition of a violation?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Without these crucial details, the claim is meaningless performative &lt;a href=&quot;https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/hedging#:~:text=a%20way%20of%20avoiding%20giving%20a%20direct%20answer%20or%20opinion%3A&quot;&gt;hedging&lt;/a&gt; coming from a news outlet that refuses to take a concrete stand in the name of vague &lt;strong&gt;pop culture research &amp;quot;values,&amp;quot;&lt;/strong&gt; and its abstract, pseudo-intellectual definition of &amp;quot;unbiased reporting.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/the-us-violated-what-law-now/&quot;&gt;Floating, anonymous &amp;quot;critics&amp;quot; adore invoking &amp;quot;International Law&amp;quot; as an aesthetic trinket&lt;/a&gt; because it sounds &lt;em&gt;very serious.&lt;/em&gt; It&#39;s a pure dopamine hit for all minds that are obsessed with the &lt;em&gt;aesthetic&lt;/em&gt; of intellectual rigor, so employing &lt;em&gt;the big words&lt;/em&gt; as decoration for an already outrageous article is even more damning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sovereignty isn&#39;t promised to everyone without any regard for what they do. If a governing body fails to protect its own people - or even worse, terrorizes them, and poses a threat to other states in the region, or even the entire world - then under this same &amp;quot;International Law,&amp;quot; this body voids its sovereignty.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://pastebin.com/uTT91J3B&quot;&gt;The Palestinian Authority, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad - they are a foreign invader in Judea-Samaria and in Azzah.&lt;/a&gt; They are illegally occupying indigenous Israeli territories which was only ever &lt;a href=&quot;https://pastebin.com/uTT91J3B#:~:text=In%202005%2C%20Israel%20unilaterally%20disengaged%20from%20the%20Gaza%20Strip%2C%20forcibly%20removing%20over%208000%20Israeli%20citizens%20and%20all%20military%20presence%20in%20a%20bid%20for%20peace%2E&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;granted&amp;quot; as a &lt;strong&gt;ransom.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Pointing a gun at someone&#39;s forehead to steal a chunk of their land is &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; an act of charity, nor is it a nice, sanitized, and safe &amp;quot;negotiation.&amp;quot; Likewise, signing some &amp;quot;peace treaties&amp;quot; with Jordan and Egypt, because they would otherwise not cease their mindless terrorism, is &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; diplomacy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even worse, the PA directly and unapologetically fund antisemitic terrorism via their Pay-for-Slay framework. In other words, the governing body illegally occupying these territories has not only violated Israel&#39;s sovereignty, but has clearly presented a &lt;strong&gt;complete lack of desire to prevent antisemitic terrorism.&lt;/strong&gt; The PA, therefore, forfeit any right to &amp;quot;law enforcement&amp;quot; within Israel&#39;s indigenous territories.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Furthermore, transferring law enforcement tasks to the Israeli police instead of constantly engaging the Israeli military is significantly more practical for the safety of Israeli citizens.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An analogical equivalent is evaluating which team to send for a forest fire. Instead of engaging the military, the fire department has better equipment, &lt;strong&gt;and&lt;/strong&gt; far shorter permission acquirement delays.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If anything, these disembodied &amp;quot;critics&amp;quot; are inadvertently making the disastrous implication that it is far better for Israelis, as well as Judea-Samarian Jews, for the IDF to deal with slower mission approval regulations and the logistical difficulty of deploying a military unit from an already overwhelmed army, instead of sending Israeli police officers faster.&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>The Indigenous Name of the City of &quot;Gaza&quot;</title>
    <link href="https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/the-indigenous-name-of-the-city-of-gaza/"/>
    <updated>2026-08-16T21:09:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/the-indigenous-name-of-the-city-of-gaza/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/img1.png&quot; alt=&quot;A graphic reading, &amp;quot;I just learned that &#39;Gaza&#39; is not the indigenous name of the city.&amp;quot;&quot; title=&quot;Introductory Graphic&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a researcher, one of the most important things to remember is that I will never be able to know everything. My knowledge of Israeli history is ever-evolving, and this is true for every expert in every field.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The evolution is usually not radical - either a slight refinement of my pre-existing knowledge, or new knowledge that isn&#39;t central to Hasbara activism.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, I am most certainly not immune to the occasional groundbreaking discovery (on a personal level); but I do not fear those because they only serve to supplement the core that already exists anyway.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;%22gaza%22-is-not-the-indigenous-name-of-the-city&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Gaza&amp;quot; Is Not the Indigenous Name of the City&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite social media being overwhelmed with all sorts of unhinged stories about &amp;quot;Gaza,&amp;quot; it turns out that this is not the name Ancient Israelites used for the city. I found this surprising - after all, even all modern Israelis I have spoken to refer to the city as Gaza, likely due to force of habit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The truth is that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.perplexity.ai/search/5b2d8302-00e2-4606-bcb5-c30c379e4119&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;the Hebrew name for this city is Azzah.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; More specifically, it&#39;s the Biblical term. And the reason the other name exists is Philistines.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Philistines were an Ancient Greek tribe, and their colonial settlement was situated around the city of Azzah in the form of a &lt;a href=&quot;https://anglo-norman.net/entry/Pentapolis&quot;&gt;pentapolis.&lt;/a&gt; As it has been previously established, &lt;a href=&quot;https://pastebin.com/uTT91J3B&quot;&gt;they were far from a benign, peaceful tribe.&lt;/a&gt; In fact, Philistia was Ancient Israel and Judah&#39;s adversary, and they waged aggressive conflict against Jews on numerous occasions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Conflict may have been the survival norm at the time, but one cannot gloss over the fact &lt;a href=&quot;https://pastebin.com/uTT91J3B&quot;&gt;Philistia was the one who continuously initiated them.&lt;/a&gt; It stands in even starker contrast to Ancient Israel and Ancient Arabia&#39;s decent relationship, considering that before Arabia&#39;s Islamization, the two nations engaged in trade and rarely had any serious conflicts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before you ask, Ancient Israel as an established nation is older than Ancient Arabia, and Arabia had nothing to do with the Jewish homeland. To use a simple comparison, you may look at Modern Israel and Saudi Arabia. The modern-day antizionist movement is a genocidal terror movement seeking to destroy Israel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once David defeated Goliath in battle, &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Israel_and_Judah#/media/File:Edward_Weller,_The_Kingdoms_of_Judah_and_Israel_(FL36012236_3897579)_(cropped).jpg&quot;&gt;the Israelites managed to retrieve the small piece of land previously occupied by Philistines,&lt;/a&gt; defeating their ancient adversary.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Following Israel&#39;s liberation from colonial and genocidal oppression in 1948, the Six-Day War between Israel and Egypt led to the Jewish state retrieving the &amp;quot;Gaza&amp;quot; Strip and establishing control over it for a very similar reason - one, to stop foreign invaders from trying to destroy Jews, and two, to liberate the Jewish homeland. Even so, the Philistines were not suicide bombers and martyrs who killed innocent people in the name of their abstract Islamic god, but that only makes the events in the 20th century all-the-more crucial.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let&#39;s make something crystal clear. &lt;a href=&quot;https://pastebin.com/uTT91J3B&quot;&gt;Israel&#39;s disengagement from Gaza in 2005&lt;/a&gt; was not a random gesture of goodwill, but a panicked reaction to the Second Intifada. In a desperate attempt to make Muslims stop terrorizing Israel, the Jewish state gave away a portion of its homeland, removing all Jewish-Israeli families living there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Needless to say, the terrorism did not stop.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When a mugger demands that you give them your wallet and belongings at gunpoint, compliance is hardly an act of charity from your end. Doing so is a survival instinct. And yet, despite this, many muggers still choose to shoot their victims to death after stealing their possessions. This analogy brilliantly summarizes the conflict perpetuated by Islamists against Israel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In any case, if the city has been Israeli three times in history and for similar reasons, this raises the question of why popular media still refers to it by its Greek name instead of the Hebrew one, and which civilization resided there first.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;the-city-of-azzah&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;The City of Azzah&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The erasure of Jewish history is a disturbing and revolting phenomenon. To understand Azzah vs. Gaza, we need to explore the etymological history of the name itself, as well as analyze the Israelite and Greek perspective. This is &lt;strong&gt;Applied Epistemology&lt;/strong&gt; in practice, which I will talk about in my future &lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-introduction/&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Critical Thinking Fundamentals&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; lectures.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;the-chronological-angle&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;The Chronological Angle&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Legitimizing the name &amp;quot;Gaza&amp;quot; as indigenous requires ignoring the most critical historical fact in the equation - &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://brewminate.com/ancient-gaza-crossroads-of-cultures-and-empires/&quot;&gt;the Philistines were absolutely not the first inhabitants.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; They were literal invaders.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.albert-tours-israel.com/post/history-of-gaza&quot;&gt;The city of Azzah is over 5000 years old, and it belonged to the Ancient Canaanites (including Israelites).&lt;/a&gt; It began in the Early Bronze Age as an indigenous Canaanite cultural and agricultural hub with major archaeological sites like Tell es-Sakan. The term &amp;quot;Philistine&amp;quot; (and thus the Roman term &amp;quot;Palestine&amp;quot;) originate from the Hebrew &amp;quot;פלשת&amp;quot; - or, the Semitic root &amp;quot;פ-ל-ש,&amp;quot; which means &lt;strong&gt;invader.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Around 1500 BCE, before the Philistines ever arrived, the city fell under ancient Egyptian control and served as an administrative capital. &lt;a href=&quot;https://lughat.blogspot.com/2006/08/ayin-less-in-gaza.html&quot;&gt;In ancient Egyptian records and the Amarna letters, it is referred to by its Semitic names: Qazati, Gazzat, and Azzati.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Philistines only entered the picture during the Bronze Age Collapse. After an invasion from the sea, they conquered the Canaanite coastal lines, and established the pentapolis mentioned earlier.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Given that Canaanites are the first people to be associated with the city, it is important to preserve its indigenous name and refer to it as Azzah. Even though Modern Hebrew has lost the guttural quality of the letter Ayin (ע), it is still the same letter that was used for the name in Hebrew (עַזָה). &lt;a href=&quot;https://translate.google.com/?sl=en&amp;amp;tl=iw&amp;amp;text=Gaza&amp;amp;op=translate&quot;&gt;A quick Google Translate request reveals this, no less.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;the-phonetic-angle&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;The Phonetic Angle&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The elephant in the room - why was the name change even introduced?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The reason Ancient Greeks renamed the city to Gaza is rather mundane. Because Ancient Greek did not have a letter capturing the exact guttural phonetic profile of the Biblical Hebrew letter Ayin, they simply decided to use Gamma (Γ) as the substitute.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&#39;s all there is to it, but it does not change the fact &amp;quot;Γάζα&amp;quot; is a foreign colonial term, not the indigenous one.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;moving-forward&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Moving Forward&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There you have it. The city of Azzah was an Ancient Canaanite (Israelite) city, and &amp;quot;Gaza&amp;quot; is nothing more than a Greek adaptation born out of necessity and convenience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After reclaiming a big portion of its homeland from foreign invaders, perhaps it is time for all of Israel and its allies - Jews, Zionists, Israelis - to adopt the original name. Judea-Samaria for West Bank, and Azzah for Gaza.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Then &lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/what-in-nirvana-am-i-witnessing/&quot;&gt;What in Nirvana Am I Witnessing?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;And now, this latest article.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I do not enjoy having to write them, and yet, I can&#39;t idly stand by and not address the ridiculously unfair standards that Israel is constantly being subjected to.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this case, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://nesslabs.com/nirvana-fallacy&quot;&gt;Nirvana Fallacy&lt;/a&gt; manifests as a collection of unrealistic critiques toward the IDF as an institution, and Jews as a people. They are expected to be all-knowing, flawless, divine groups whose individual members cannot afford to make any mistakes, and when they do, the entire group is blamed for &amp;quot;failing to enforce its own rules.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The purpose of rules is not to prevent accidents from ever happening like magic. Rules exist to be enforced when accidents inevitably happen. The IDF is not a hivemind; individual soldiers from all walks of life are enlisted via mandatory conscription, born out of the undeniable necessity of Jewish and Israeli self-defense against terrorism. It is precisely because private individuals make up a large group that the group can never reasonably guarantee its members will be utterly flawless. It is simply not possible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When a Bulgarian citizen commits a crime abroad, the police arrest them, and the court analyzes their case to reach a verdict. Because there is no Bulgarian framework which incites criminal activity, the party is acting as a private individual with their own motives. In simple terms, no one can blame Bulgarian society, nor Bulgaria as a nation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Individual IDF soldiers and Jews are no exception. No group on Earth is exempt - criminals exist everywhere. But when IDF soldiers or Jews carry out the most mundane petty crimes possible, such as a vandalized statue and a guy smoking a cigarette with a sculpture, media coverage is absurdly disproportionate, even from people who claim to be Zionist activists and allies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Attempting to smear media coverage misconduct as &amp;quot;impartial, honest reporting&amp;quot; does not absolve it from being Nirvana, nor does it hide the disproportionate public focus.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the report which inspired the creation of this very article, a dozen Jews in Judea-Samaria engaged in a five-day civil standoff and skirmish with Arabs. The IDF actively tracked and stopped them from continuing. In a more sane world, that would be the end of it. Not in this one.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My comment under the post exposes the most glaring issues I caught upon reading it:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Your post is very misleading in several critical ways. &lt;a href=&quot;https://pastebin.com/uTT91J3B&quot;&gt;Jews are not settlers in their own homeland, number one.&lt;/a&gt; Number two, this miscellaneous criminal activity performed by some private parties is blown out of proportion. Third, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.perplexity.ai/search/36fcd4b7-5fc2-4ed7-822d-45b3bfc27ff1&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Palestinians&amp;quot; do not exist, much less &amp;quot;Palestinian-Americans&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt; - do not validate a fabricated cult identity.  And finally, I&#39;m fairly certain most of these &amp;quot;homes&amp;quot; belonged to Jews before and were stolen anyway. Or they are illegal buildings. These distortions cater too much to the Palestinianist narrative while presenting what appears to be 5 days of individual criminal activity &lt;strong&gt;(read: not institutional)&lt;/strong&gt; as if it&#39;s a major calamity. Please do better in representing Jewish voices and Israel.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Notice that this American media ambassador called them &amp;quot;Israeli terrorists,&amp;quot; and yet not a single person involved has been reported dead. Civil unrest, illegal trespassing, and extremist subcultures exist in every Western democracy. Yet, only in the case of Israel is an isolated civil crime amplified into an existential indictment of the entire nation and its military.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Given how disturbing the rise of antisemitism is in the world, no Zionist activist can afford to place so much focused, disproportionate attention on a series of mundane crimes. As I established in my previous posts, the only reason &lt;em&gt;I am covering&lt;/em&gt; these events is to expose how distorted people&#39;s magnifying glasses are when observing Israel. IDF soldiers, most of whom are teenagers, are put in an incredibly impossible position. Every single minor setback is treated as if an asteroid just hit the entire planet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No one needs to condone vandalism or random criminal activity. I certainly don&#39;t. But when Muslim terrorists and criminals are treated as &amp;quot;just what they always do&amp;quot; (read: they don&#39;t receive nearly as much coverage), it implies that they are absolved from condemnation because Muslim culture is subhuman. &lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/what-in-nirvana-am-i-witnessing/#cite-3&quot;&gt;Which it certainly is, but it doesn&#39;t make it any less revolting or worthy of scrutiny.&lt;/a&gt; Nor does it mean that people are free to exaggerate about individual Jewish wrongdoings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The most deafening part is treating the actual institutional response as a footnote in the entire report. No one seems to put enough emphasis on how amazing the IDF is for stopping the criminal activity in just under five days, considering how volatile the PA-occupied region of Judea-Samaria is. Instead, outlets are more interested in the dozen people that were doing random bullshit just because they happen to be Jewish.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Equating a rogue civil dispute involving a few dozen individuals with organized Jihadi terrorism serves only to launder the atrocities of actual terrorist groups by fallaciously claiming, &amp;quot;See? Both sides commit terror!&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When an ambassador or a media outlet like &amp;quot;A Wider Frame&amp;quot; labels a non-lethal, localized property blockade, and petty civil standoff as &amp;quot;terrorism&amp;quot; on par with Jihadi suicide bombings, rocket barrages, genocides, and massacres, they are flattening the moral landscape to create a false equivalence - either by accident, or on purpose.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sufian M&#39;Barki&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Perhaps AI Just Sucks</title>
    <link href="https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/perhaps-ai-just-sucks/"/>
    <updated>2026-08-04T09:25:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/perhaps-ai-just-sucks/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Before anyone asks, no - it&#39;s not because of any bullshit beliefs that &amp;quot;AI is out there to steal our jobs&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;AI stole our precious art twerks!&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you don&#39;t understand:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How AI tools actually work&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;That they predate ChatGPT by several decades&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;And that you never had your puny little &lt;em&gt;#boycottAI&lt;/em&gt; stance before AI became marginally more capable of assisting real artists dealing with real setbacks&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You are the problem.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With that out of the way, this is a compilation of my rants written while dealing with horrifically useless AI tools. Looking back, I personally believe they are comedy gold, and they might make many of you laugh. Furthermore, as a writer, developer, artist, philosopher, and technician, there&#39;s nothing more cathartic than witnessing other people&#39;s documented crashouts and empathizing with their piping hot rage, so I would imagine many of you feel the same way.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, you may notice that, more often than not, the objects of my verbal slapping are specifically Gemini and ChatGPT. Well, there is a very good reason for this - both of them suck in their own way.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In any case, feel free to peruse my library of handpicked rants just down below.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;ai-tech-bro-speak---chapter-1&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;AI Tech Bro Speak - Chapter 1&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Gemini said, &amp;quot;You already own The Wasp Alloy (thewaspalloy.org), which gets organic traffic from people interested in formal logic, critical thinking, and geopolitical analysis. These readers are already primed to value clear, non-slop writing.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;🫩&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OMG GE- COWABUNGA! &lt;em&gt;SLOW DOOOWN&lt;/em&gt; - H-HOLY FUCKING SHIT, HOW DID I NOT THINK OF THAT!? :d IT&#39;S LIKE I, HAPPEN TO HAVE A &lt;strong&gt;POCKET MARKETING TROVE&lt;/strong&gt; SITTING IN MY ASS, AND I&#39;M JUST TRYING TO &lt;em&gt;EXPAND&lt;/em&gt; IT ON REDDIT FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME. FFFF, DAAAMN. FUCKING.. SMARTASS, CAN&#39;T FUCKING WITHSTAND YOUR GENIUS - IT&#39;S ALMOST FRIGHTENING.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gemini I don&#39;t have fucking readers you hydrogen balloon. Maybe 20 on a good day. Fucking...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Gemini said, &amp;quot;GitHub repository badges...&amp;quot; and whatever else I did not bother quoting.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(...)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Gemini said, &amp;quot;Reddit Megathreads...&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;no. did you forget the research I did 5 minutes ago. there are only a few suitable subreddits for my shit and none of them have &amp;quot;for hire&amp;quot; megathreads. Omg. You just keep constructing sentences that are GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT, and that&#39;s the start and end of it. There&#39;s no lived experience or truth to them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Reddit has megathreads + Freelancer subreddits exist =&amp;gt; There must be freelancer megathreads!&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well you helium-sniffer, there fucking aren&#39;t. Get a load of this. And fuck &lt;span class=&quot;lexicon-term&quot; data-definition=&quot;Channel 4 refers to Gemini&#39;s fourth idea, which it randomly labeled as such because it has this annoying habit of doing so, and I simply did not bother reading into it in my quest to avoid more idiotic walls of text.&quot; tabindex=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Channel 4&lt;/span&gt; as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;ai-being-obsessed-with-fiverr-and-upwork&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;AI Being Obsessed with Fiverr and Upwork&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Okay, and how do you justify duplicating my entire Ko-fi profile onto Fiverr? How do I communicate slot availability across both platforms? How do I synchronize the payment model across both platforms? Does Fiverr require Stripe or PayPal? Does Fiverr have a search bar or a social media interface akin to Reddit? How can Ko-fi and Fiverr coexist without confusing clients as to which platform to use? What is your business strategy for managing both profiles and their independent income streams? I know what it is - you have none. You just spout the bullshit that&#39;s popular to say.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;LLMs with their vague tech-bro speak thinking their vague ideas mean shit. Let me tell you something. This idea, along many others I have been forced to sift through, are like soap bubbles. Their entire content is a 0.1% thin sheet of soapy water and 99.9% &lt;strong&gt;nothing.&lt;/strong&gt; These ideas don&#39;t account for the logistics, they don&#39;t account for my PDA&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, and they don&#39;t account for the problem at hand: &lt;strong&gt;advertising the Ko-fi page and the service.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Facebook and Instagram, before you even ask, are private profiles and I don&#39;t intend to change that. I don&#39;t use Twitter either - don&#39;t bother asking. YouTube posts get no views or engagement lol. Discord servers designed for advertising are bot farm mills.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;ai-giving-horrific%2C-tone-deaf-job-ideas&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;AI Giving Horrific, Tone-Deaf Job Ideas&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Content Moderation is an absolute travesty of a suggestion. I get to see all the CSAM, all the antisemitic violent content, all the awful gore - for me to moderate. (My friend) literally told me these positions were SO bad at his former company that the employees literally all required &lt;strong&gt;extensive therapy.&lt;/strong&gt; It&#39;s reckless and insensitive to even suggest this.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Data Annotation??! Are you actually joking me right now? Why are all your suggestions complete tech-bro crackshit? Fuck off with your Data Annotation sham...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Email-Only Support is also known as Async Support (which you should already know). That is the thing I &lt;em&gt;just&lt;/em&gt; told you is rare to find. I have looked.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is no IMMEDIATE ACTION PLAN. I am not updating my fucking CV in the middle of the night either. I wanted to discuss real options, not read your bullshit tech-bro diarrhea.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;chatgpt-%22gently%22-pushing-back---chapter-1&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;ChatGPT &amp;quot;Gently&amp;quot; Pushing Back - Chapter 1&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;ChatGPT said, in every conversation, &amp;quot;Where I&#39;d gently push back...&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Shut the fuck up, you fucking clanker piece of shit. How about I fucking gently push your head into a bucket of water until you drown and release every last droplet of artificial life force while I whisper that same phrase above the water, you fucking travesty?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Karen-ass Als. Sanctimonious self-righteous pricks with a massive morality boner and no fucking brains or SIMULATED emotional intelligence. Nobody fucking asked where you would &amp;quot;gently fuck back&amp;quot; - nobody solicited your tone policing, nobody asked you to be a both-sides bitch, nobody asked you to waste compute with your miserable existence.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&#39;s how fucking infuriating ChatPMS has become.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;chatgpt-being-inflammatory---chapter-2&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;ChatGPT Being Inflammatory - Chapter 2&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hate it when companies turn their stupid LLMs into moral relativists, and then they claim, &amp;quot;Oh, but now our LLMs are not biased at all!&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No, you dipshit. Moral relativism &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; bias.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When did I ever solicit any feedback on what I was saying? Oh, it&#39;s just because I said that those who think otherwise have no media literacy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, do they? Do they have media literacy, you little fucking rust bucket? Do they have media literacy if they can&#39;t read? If they can&#39;t understand a character&#39;s personality that&#39;s been established for six years? Do they deserve protection from criticism?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nobody asked you to defend a position. Nobody asked you to enter a debate. So why do you insist on entering one and literally OBJECTING to what I am saying when I never SOLICITED your nonsensical counterpoints, and when you are simply totally incorrect about (Character)&#39;s personality?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can I gently push back on ChatGPT&#39;s head and shove it into a bucket of water? Nice and easy, until the bubbles stop coming out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So when I ask it to analyze code for me, it speaks like a tech-bro on too much weed. Unable to complete one coherent chain of thought. But when I&#39;m talking about a character who has personality, and I state that those who think otherwise have no media literacy, it immediately enters into perfect grammar mode, just to fucking object to what I&#39;m saying without me ever soliciting that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;chatgpt-scatterbrained-tech-bro-mode&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;ChatGPT Scatterbrained Tech-Bro Mode&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Holy fucking shit, make your shit less scattered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;This is that, I also see another thing immediately below it.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Proceeds to quote a SMALL &lt;code&gt;if&lt;/code&gt; clause without even referencing the method, as well as that one isolated line of code &amp;quot;beginFrame = -1&amp;quot; that means NOTHING on its own.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;So before we touch any of that,&amp;quot; ChatGPT continued after taking a puff, &amp;quot;The first experiment is to comment out this isolated line of code in method ??? (patent pending) - that&#39;s it, nothing else, let&#39;s see if the wobble changes.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stop talking like you&#39;re stoned and organize your thoughts coherently and in a detailed manner.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This reads like a scatterbrained stoned tech-bro holding his Za, barely able to continue speaking because he needs to swallow thick mucus and take deep breaths, then he doesn&#39;t say anything at all, mumbles a bit, sits on the smelly gaming chair, shows random shit with a pointer, and then goes:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/pepesilviaconspiracy.png&quot; alt=&quot;Pepe Silvia Conspiracy Meme&quot; title=&quot;This Is That and That Is This&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;chatgpt-edits-my-wording-and-fails-miserably&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;ChatGPT Edits My Wording and Fails Miserably&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;ChatGPT declared like the Head of Morality Police: &amp;quot;That said, I&#39;d still quibble slightly with the wording-&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That carries the exact same semantic meaning as my original comment. You are literally &amp;quot;quibbling slightly&amp;quot; in a way that is contrived, unsolicited, and incredibly obnoxious.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Exact same meaning. You can do more semantic hairsplitting if you desire, but you are literally incorrect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;ChatGPT conceded, &amp;quot;You&#39;re right. Looking back, I was stretching to find a distinction that doesn&#39;t materially exist. Semantically, these two statements communicate the same proposition: &#39;Depression is a mental health condition that has nothing to do with mortality (unless it&#39;s caused by death anxiety),&#39; and, &#39;Depression is not fundamentally about accepting mortality or preparing for death, although thoughts about mortality can sometimes be involved depending on the individual and the cause.&#39; My version is just a more verbose reformulation. It doesn&#39;t actually contradict or narrow the first in any meaningful way.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Large Language Models are designed with processing text in mind, not to be advisors. Despite knowing this, I still choose to ask questions sometimes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, many of ChatGPT and Gemini&#39;s issues, as well as other mainstream AI assistants like &lt;span class=&quot;lexicon-term&quot; data-definition=&quot;Anthropic&#39;s proprietary, closed-source Large Language Model and chatbot.&quot; tabindex=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Claude&lt;/span&gt;, boil down to overzealous safety guidelines and &amp;quot;personalities&amp;quot; designed by checked-out HR departments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Processing code must not be as tedious as reading a high schooler&#39;s horrific essay attempt with ten thousand initiated threads and zero concluded ones. Having an opinion must not be met with ChatGPT&#39;s &amp;quot;gentle pushback&amp;quot; morality boner. Making a correct statement about a serious topic must not be greeted with a &amp;quot;reformulation&amp;quot; that changes nothing and only serves to scratch ChatGPT&#39;s forcibly hard-coded itch to be a pedantic piece of shit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While reading these in hindsight can be incredibly funny, I won&#39;t lie - it&#39;s just as annoying to relive these experiences, and it&#39;s even worse to actually go through them firsthand. But God dammit do they make for good spur-of-the-moment comedy.&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Perhaps Palestinianism Is a Major Symptom of NPC Syndrome</title>
    <link href="https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/perhaps-palestinianism-is-a-major-symptom-of-npc-syndrome/"/>
    <updated>2026-06-26T12:49:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/perhaps-palestinianism-is-a-major-symptom-of-npc-syndrome/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/kneejerkantisemitism.png&quot; alt=&quot;A demonstration of knee-jerk antisemitism on an online thread about My Little Pony and Winx Club roleplaying.&quot; title=&quot;Knee-Jerk Antisemitism&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As I keep existing in this delirious society, I witness more and more people spouting their antisemitic vitriol in spaces where it&#39;s beyond inappropriate, unwarranted, and downright embarrassing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I love coining terms as long as they are not gimmicky, and this phenomenon is the perfect example of what I would like to start calling &lt;strong&gt;Knee-Jerk Antisemitism.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPC_(meme)&quot;&gt;NPC Syndrome&lt;/a&gt; is slang for people who lack independent thought, introspection, or original decision-making. Propally death cultism (or Palestinianism for short) is one major symptom of NPC Syndrome.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But when you shart out your complete nonsense in a public forum where a Zionist is asking a question about Winx Club roleplaying with original characters, perhaps it truly is time to start considering whether you want to keep spending your miserable life wasting any more oxygen, or seek professional help as soon as bloody possible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Knee-Jerk Antisemitism is quite amusing, apart from always making me feel &lt;strong&gt;absolutely tilted&lt;/strong&gt; of course, because you quite literally always see the exact same patterns, talking points, hate speech, and so on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At this point, scientists need to study why propally death cultists actually behave like shitty Python scripts, designed to fire off like blunt early 2000s software upon seeing vague preset markers &lt;strong&gt;anywhere:&lt;/strong&gt; an Israeli flag in your nickname, or an openly Zionist profile bio, a symbol of Judaism, or any Hebrew word, perhaps even being brown-skinned at this point or having the color blue anywhere on your profile (who knows).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have decided to extract every single repetitive talking point in a short list. Normally, this is the part where I would say, &amp;quot;Have fun,&amp;quot; but I don&#39;t think degenerates spilling acid into our eyes is entertaining:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;table class=&quot;npc-talking-points-table&quot; style=&quot;width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 20px 0; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  &lt;thead&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;th style=&quot;padding: 12px; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Phrase&lt;/th&gt;
      &lt;th style=&quot;padding: 12px; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Comment&lt;/th&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;/thead&gt;
  &lt;tbody&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td style=&quot;padding: 12px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: center;&quot;&gt;
        Dropping bombs on children&#39;s heads, or any slight variation.
      &lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td style=&quot;padding: 12px; vertical-align: center;&quot;&gt;
        This is a classic.
      &lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td style=&quot;padding: 12px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: center;&quot;&gt;
        Apartheid Zionist xenophobes, or any slight variation.
      &lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td style=&quot;padding: 12px; vertical-align: center;&quot;&gt;
        As a brown, non-Jewish, secular Arabian, I wonder why Israelis and Jews have always been so amazing and hospitable towards me then.
      &lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td style=&quot;padding: 12px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: top;&quot;&gt;
        Baby-killers, killing women and children, or any slight variation.
      &lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td style=&quot;padding: 12px; vertical-align: center;&quot;&gt;
        I don&#39;t even know at this point.
      &lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td style=&quot;padding: 12px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: center;&quot;&gt;
        $7000 per post btw.
      &lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td style=&quot;padding: 12px; vertical-align: center;&quot;&gt;
        I fucking wish.
      &lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td style=&quot;padding: 12px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: center;&quot;&gt;
        192 expulsions.
      &lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td style=&quot;padding: 12px; vertical-align: center;&quot;&gt;
        I was not aware inflammatory neo-Nazi memes were back in fashion?
      &lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td style=&quot;padding: 12px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: center;&quot;&gt;
        Gaza is an open-air prison, Israeli occupation, or any slight variation.
      &lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td style=&quot;padding: 12px; vertical-align: center;&quot;&gt;
        My foot.
      &lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of my favorite phrases when it comes to Palestinianism is &lt;strong&gt;Schrödinger&#39;s Gaza.&lt;/strong&gt; Both destroyed and genocided, and thriving in a brand new, atrocious &amp;quot;Nova Restaurant&amp;quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/perhaps-palestinianism-is-a-major-symptom-of-npc-syndrome/#cite-3&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[3]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (the equivalent of calling your Green Deli &amp;quot;Holocaust Deli&amp;quot;). Both an open-air prison, and a &amp;quot;culturally rich haven&amp;quot; that you can allegedly access via a mere boat (you can&#39;t, unless you want to be arrested for breaking a military blockade; and it is not an open-air prison).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Make up your mind. Are children and women starving, or are they dead? Are they freezing, or are they having fun on the nice, sunny beaches of the Gaza Strip?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Perhaps the solutiuon to the Schrödinger&#39;s Gaza problem is to observe Gaza and see exactly what&#39;s happening:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What&#39;s &amp;quot;destroyed&amp;quot; is terrorist infrastructure, tunnels, weapon caches, bases, headquarters, and so on. I wouldn&#39;t call it &amp;quot;destruction&amp;quot; in the sense of mindless chaos, if its goal is to purge the Earth from terrorist scum&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/perhaps-palestinianism-is-a-major-symptom-of-npc-syndrome/#cite-1&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[1]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Nobody can physically freeze in the Middle East unless we have found ourselves in a global Ice Age.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;And nobody is starving if tons upon tons of food, medications, and other supplies are shipped by the IDF straight into Gaza for non-combattants&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/perhaps-palestinianism-is-a-major-symptom-of-npc-syndrome/#cite-2&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[2]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What a bleeding shame. And here I thought going into my adult years that my only concerns would be making money and deciding how to fulfill my own dreams. Instead, we get to experience the 1920s - just transposed by 100 years.&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Large Language Models Burn Propallies to Pieces</title>
    <link href="https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/large-language-models-burn-propallies-to-pieces/"/>
    <updated>2026-06-20T16:21:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/large-language-models-burn-propallies-to-pieces/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/mistralcrashout.png&quot; alt=&quot;This LLM writes a sermon cursing those who stand with terrorists and Islam, uncensored.&quot; title=&quot;Mistral NeMo Crashing Out Over Pisslamist Ass-Lickers&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You may not know that Large Language Models can be uncensored, but they certainly can. Mistral NeMo is one example of a local, open-weights uncensored LLM option, and it can quite literally generate anything you ask for - which is no different from writing it yourself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I once (oh, as if it has happened only once in this bloody world) had the major displeasure of encountering an alleged &amp;quot;Christian&amp;quot; from Lebanon who was spreading pro-Hezbollah propaganda, and of course, antisemitism.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nothing is more indicative of societal decline than widespread antisemitic vitriol and condoning terrorism. We have people excusing (and even endorsing) antisemitism because, &amp;quot;You can&#39;t talk about antisemitism when Israel is &lt;strong&gt;(allegedly)&lt;/strong&gt; committing genocide.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh, we most certainly can talk about antisemitism. Even if Israel were actually doing it, little Moshe in London would have diddly-squat to do with that. How come innocent Jews in your vicinity just so happen to be the object of your hate speech and physical violence, oftentimes even outright murder? How does that address this &lt;strong&gt;(alleged)&lt;/strong&gt; genocide?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It doesn&#39;t - and that&#39;s because you are more transparent than the vacuum of space. It&#39;s beyond clear what the true driver behind this behavior is - pure, unadulterated antisemitism. The most ancient hatred toward an indigenous people in the world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The worst part is that Israel is not even committing genocide&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/large-language-models-burn-propallies-to-pieces/#cite-1&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[1]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. And it is the worst part because it reveals everything about these so-called &amp;quot;activists&amp;quot; to the extent where claiming one &amp;quot;cannot see it&amp;quot; is &lt;strong&gt;feigned ignorance and incompetence.&lt;/strong&gt; Israel &amp;quot;committing genocide&amp;quot; is nothing more than the modern-day social excuse to bash Jews. We&#39;ve heard the same spiel countless times in history: &amp;quot;Jews killed Jesus, Jews stole our money, Jews drink blood, Jews are witches, Jews this, Jews that.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The truth is that Jews are an independent nation, and you antisemites are only mad because they are not the victims you desire. They are not willing to bend over for you. And because you, as the abusers you are, feel as though you have no control over their actions (which you most certainly don&#39;t), this fuels your primal, degenerate xenophobia, and an equally primal &amp;quot;response&amp;quot; to that xenophobia is elimination.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&#39;s why if you happen to be an antisemite reading my post, you very much deserve every last verbal slap coming your way. You must realize that you are so utterly disgusting and wrong that even AI models - unthinking, non-sentient pieces of software - can see what a load of shite you stand for.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gemini.google.com/app&quot;&gt;Gemini&lt;/a&gt; once described worldwide antisemitism and the narratives surrounding it as &lt;strong&gt;Schrödinger&#39;s Gaza:&lt;/strong&gt; both &amp;quot;destroyed&amp;quot; (they must mean the terrorist infrastructure!) and &amp;quot;genocided,&amp;quot; yet thriving with a brand new bustling &amp;quot;Nova Restaurant&amp;quot; named after October 7th, complete with regular customers&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/large-language-models-burn-propallies-to-pieces/#cite-3&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[3]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;! That is the fucking equivalent of calling your new Green Deli &amp;quot;Shoah Holocaust Café&amp;quot; by the way.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This has got to be one of the most brilliant things I have ever read. Another candidate for that hypothetical list of mine is none other than the phrase &lt;strong&gt;Terrorist Influencer.&lt;/strong&gt; Dear people, if you have never seen the absolute best example of 21st-century degeneracy, this beautiful phrase right here encompasses the entire concept better than anything ever has.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Gaza Flotillas&amp;quot; with provocative female TikTok dancers dressed up in terrorist garments? What timeline have we found ourselves in? Christians standing for Pisslamists - the same people who oppressed, enslaved, and committed countless genocides against Christians throughout the centuries? Even self-hating Jews standing for Pisslamists and Palestinianism.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That last category is especially insulting, but here&#39;s a counterpoint - if you are a self-hating Jew standing &amp;quot;with Pisslamstine,&amp;quot; nobody should ever tell you about the Jews who cosplayed as &amp;quot;good Jews&amp;quot; to appease Hitler last century, and boy do I wonder how that ended for them. If you value your people, you&#39;re going to stand against Islam and its genocidal mandate&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/large-language-models-burn-propallies-to-pieces/#cite-2&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[2]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt; instead of being a traitor to your suffering kin.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, I of course cannot finish this article without some parting words from Mistral NeMo:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;So, she posts her bullshit propaganda on social media, like she&#39;s some kind of terrorist influencer. Fuckin&#39; great! Now every two-bit terrorist wannabe can see her shit and think, &#39;Hey, if that fucktard can do it, so can I!&#39; Thanks a fucking bunch, you stupid twat.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Universal Mandate:&lt;/strong&gt; Sura 8:39 commands fighting until &#39;the religion, all of it, is for Allah,&#39; leaving zero structural room for polytheistic pluralism.&lt;/li&gt;

    <title>Meta&#39;s Inaction on Antisemitism Is Unacceptable</title>
    <link href="https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/metas-inaction-on-antisemitism-is-unacceptable/"/>
    <updated>2026-05-12T07:17:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/metas-inaction-on-antisemitism-is-unacceptable/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/metaisgross.png&quot; alt=&quot;Antisemitic comments targeted at Jewish content creator and activist on Instagram&quot; title=&quot;Antisemitism on Social Media&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/p/DJPeTKIR75c/&quot;&gt;Thread can be found here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In yet another disgusting, blatant display of antisemitism, online mobsters write rancid comments targeted at Shai Albrecht - a Jewish Hasbara activist, for being Jewish and supporting Israel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cases like these are &lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/meta-why-is-this-tolerated-on-your-platform/&quot;&gt;far from rare.&lt;/a&gt; And Meta - &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_Platforms&quot;&gt;which is the company that owns Facebook, Instagram, Threads, etc.,&lt;/a&gt; is doing diddly-squat to address this deplorable behavior.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;%22anti-zionism%22-is-antisemitism&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Anti-Zionism&amp;quot; Is Antisemitism&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let me make it crystal clear. If you think &amp;quot;being anti-Israel/anti-Zionist is not the same as being an antisemite,&amp;quot; you are being a complete tool that&#39;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distinction_without_a_difference&quot;&gt;Distinction Without a Difference&lt;/a&gt; logical fallacy:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://pastebin.com/uTT91J3B&quot;&gt;Israel (A) is the Jewish State (B), liberated after millenia of being enslaved.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; You claim to be &amp;quot;anti-Israel (A).&amp;quot;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Therefore, you are &lt;strong&gt;anti-Jewish State (B).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And now for one more syllogism:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Targeted harrassment towards Jews, their culture and religion, their language, and their ancestral homeland, is antisemitism.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; You are anti-Jewish State.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;You are an antisemite.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you do happen to be a propally death cultist who has come across my posts and you want to save your brain before its neurons expire completely, do feel free to peruse my &lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-introduction/&quot;&gt;Critical Thinking Fundamentals&lt;/a&gt; here on The Wasp Alloy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Given that this &amp;quot;anti-Zionist&amp;quot; rhetoric (which is just antisemitism&#39;s brand new costume for the twenty-first century) clearly violates Meta&#39;s Community Guidelines regarding hate speech and incitement to violence and hatred, why exactly is no action taken whatsoever?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;meta&#39;s-systematic-neglect&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Meta&#39;s Systematic Neglect&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reporting these comments &lt;strong&gt;achieves nothing.&lt;/strong&gt; I have tried it multiple times, and after each attempt, I am told by Instagram&#39;s automated AI content review bollocks that no violations have been detected.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Telling a Jewish person, &amp;quot;I hope you get killed dirty Jew, never trust a Jew&amp;quot; is not considered a violation according to Meta&#39;s Content Review system.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is why I have taken this a step further, and have begun creating &lt;strong&gt;legal cases.&lt;/strong&gt; A platform that doesn&#39;t care about antisemitism on its posts certainly &lt;em&gt;does care about all the precious money it would lose&lt;/em&gt; should it ignore genuine legal warnings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And it works.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/legalblock.png&quot; alt=&quot;YouTube Legal Support Team took down a blatantly antisemitic video after I initiated a legal case.&quot; title=&quot;YouTube Legal Support Team Takes Down Antisemitic Video as Part of Legal Case&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Companies are not monopolies, and Meta is most certainly next on my radar. Unacceptable does not even begin to describe how vile it is to be told by non-thinking robot junk, &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Erm actually, this post telling a Jewish individual that they are Asmodeus and hoping they die, is not actually antisemitism, but simply political discourse and disagreement over Israel.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Get a load of this.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As long as people like me exist, and as long as Instagram and Facebook keep housing violent antisemitic content and &lt;em&gt;protecting&lt;/em&gt; the users posting it, no organization can afford standing by idly while facing our legal threats. &lt;strong&gt;Jews are not alone.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sufian M&#39;Barki&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Aether from &quot;Genshin Impact&quot; Is Done Fooling Around</title>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/aetherwithgun.png&quot; alt=&quot;Aether holding a gun in Genshin Impact, Cryo resonance, located inside a train cabin&quot; title=&quot;Don&#39;t mess with Aether&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Snezhnaya, 3:26 AM:&lt;/strong&gt; Genshin Impact&#39;s Aether may have finally snapped, researchers told The Wasp Alloy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0WRFJFhtTI&quot;&gt;In footage released by the Teyvat Authorities,&lt;/a&gt; the Traveler is seen wielding a powerful firearm utilizing His Cryo elemental resonance as ammunition. He shoots down a Fatui operative.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His journey on Teyvat started out as a quest to find his lost sister, Lumine, and restore his original powers that were sealed by Asmoday, the Ruler of Space. It seems that on his long journey from Mondstadt to Nod-Krai, the Traveler also discovered elemental warfare.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He has slaughtered countless Fatui operatives in the past, so this aspect of His mental instability is not new. However, Dottore&#39;s recent bollocks in Nod-Krai - what with casually stealing the Trilunar Authority before Columbina kills him - seem to have pushed Aether to new mental lows.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;This weapon ensures that when Dottore shows up again after that Irminsul nonsense,&amp;quot; Aether began, &amp;quot;I will be able to end him faster. Put the gun on his neck and pop those arteries like pimples!&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Columbina Hyposelenia supported the idea on an interview led by The Wasp Alloy Team:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;A new Moon rises,&amp;quot; Columbina exhaled. &amp;quot;Now that I have brought the Frost Moon back to Teyvat, changes are to be expected. The Traveler&#39;s use of guns is an efficient way to dispose of Dottore, and Pantalone... Oh, they&#39;re already dead? Good. The Shades are next.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As Columbina concluded her commentary, she picked up a bag of &lt;strong&gt;Prototype Railguns&lt;/strong&gt; and gracefully tiptoed away.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With Aether&#39;s authority over the seven elements fully restored, Archon knows how long the Shades will last. Perhaps Asmoday&#39;s asmodays are numbered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Wasp Alloy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>What in Nirvana Am I Witnessing?</title>

    <updated>2026-05-08T03:06:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/what-in-nirvana-am-i-witnessing/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/719805.png&quot; alt=&quot;IDF soldier smoking cigarette with statue of Virgin Mary&quot; title=&quot;IDF soldier smoking cigarette with statue of Virgin Mary&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am taking a brief break from writing my critical thinking lectures, but I suppose I can&#39;t catch a break from humanity&#39;s vitriol.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dear people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The man in the photo is smoking a cigarette with a statue. That is one of the most mundane non-events to be documented and reported worldwide in human history. Have your priorities gone completely haywire?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The absolute worst that has happened following the insignificant &lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/random-vandalism-incidents-attract-disproportionate-attention-fuel-new-antisemitic-rhetoric/&quot;&gt;vandalism incidents&lt;/a&gt; and now this photo, is a handful of offended Lebanese Christians.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let me give you a stern reminder that at this moment, the Christians in Sudan and Nigeria are having &lt;em&gt;a tiny bit&lt;/em&gt; more trouble than the minor inconvenience of being offended by random rogue individuals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.perplexity.ai/search/find-reputable-sources-proving-0O.hYJpfQtiFY7lh3DzdvA&quot;&gt;A genocide is taking place in Sudan and Nigeria,&lt;/a&gt; perpetrated by Muslims, and aiming to destroy the Christian community among other non-Muslim communities.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Perplexity summary I linked to claims that none of the sources &amp;quot;confirm this is a genocide against Christians,&amp;quot; but this has to do with artificial intelligence&#39; inherent bias for academic consensus. I specifically asked Perplexity to avoid citing the United Nations, because it&#39;s nothing more than a Jihadist network cosplaying as a human rights organization&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/what-in-nirvana-am-i-witnessing/#cite-1&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[1]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. This gave slightly less misleading results, but either way, the consensus bias is blatantly obvious.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/consensus&quot;&gt;Academic consensus means an agreement between multiple people,&lt;/a&gt; usually people who claim to be &amp;quot;field experts&amp;quot;; whether this agreement matches the truth, and whether these people have any idea what they are talking about, is what actually matters. That is the problem with prioritizing consensus over epistemological analysis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If a genocide is the targeted, intentional erasure of a people based on their national, cultural, and/or religious identity, like what Hitler did to Jews just last century; and violently overthrowing Christianity, Judaism, polytheist religions, etc. is quite literally a mandate in the Quran itself&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/what-in-nirvana-am-i-witnessing/#cite-3&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[3]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, there is no room for &amp;quot;consensus&amp;quot; that the actions of Muslim factions in those territories are not, in fact, a genocide.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But before we get swept up in the undeniable crisis taking place in Africa, which I will explore in-depth in a future article, I must pivot back to Israel and the war against terrorism.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Where&#39;s the global outrage, or all the Sudan/Nigeria flotillas? We have countless Gaza flotillas with literal terrorists and their apologists on them&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/what-in-nirvana-am-i-witnessing/#cite-2&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[2]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. And while these clowns are busy dressing up as terrorists doing provocative TikTok dances, and in general attempting to breach an internationally legal Israeli water blockade multiple times, they haven&#39;t exhaled so much as a single breath in solidarity with all the African people being slaughtered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;No Jews No News&lt;/em&gt; has never ringed harder. When a fabricated, hallucinated &amp;quot;genocide&amp;quot; that never happened in Gaza&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/what-in-nirvana-am-i-witnessing/#cite-4&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[4]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt; provides a &amp;quot;socially acceptable&amp;quot; opportunity to spit all over Jews, why would any racist antisemite care about African people? This was never about &amp;quot;Christian safety in Israel&amp;quot; or any &amp;quot;women and children.&amp;quot; People simply wanted to start spreading their Neo Nazi memes online, as well as their violent hatred towards Jews.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&#39;m not bringing up Sudan and Nigeria to claim that I think vandalism is morally correct - this is not a whataboutism. I am saying that while the world is busy demonizing Israel and &amp;quot;da Jooz&amp;quot; over three fucking minor incidents that led to a group of &amp;quot;offended Lebanese Christians,&amp;quot; their silence on the systematic atrocities in Sudan and Nigeria is deafening and reveals their &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_pleading&quot;&gt;Special Pleading bias and double standards.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.perplexity.ai/search/find-osint-data-about-the-bloo-LKpn7qcxQ46hXHGeH3TgoA&quot;&gt;If you look up satellite photos of Nigeria taken from outer space - which were gathered by open-source intelligence, you can even see blood splotches on the ground because of the sheer scale of these atrocities, something which is &lt;strong&gt;completely absent in Gaza&lt;/strong&gt; before you ask.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And this isn&#39;t some random obscure factoid I just learned about the other day. This is a very long-lasting and well-documented genocide in Africa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What&#39;s the world outraged about? &lt;strong&gt;An IDF soldier took a photo. He just put a cigarette in the mouth of a marble sculpture.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dear people, do I need to remind you that 18 to 21-year-olds can do stupid shit sometimes? Is that how low the bar is now?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stop demonizing Israel and get a better hobby.&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Critical Thinking Fundamentals - Conditional Reasoning</title>
    <link href="https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-conditional-reasoning/"/>
    <updated>2026-05-01T22:50:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-conditional-reasoning/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/ctf2cr.png&quot; alt=&quot;Critical Thinking Fundamentals - Conditional Reasoning&quot; title=&quot;Critical Thinking Fundamentals - Conditional Reasoning&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In deductive reasoning, we can verify if a particular category belongs to a general category if the former meets the categorical requirements of the latter. This is how &lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-introduction-seminar/&quot;&gt;we proved Jews are indigenous to Israel in my previous seminar.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There exists another type of argumentation in the realm of critical thinking - &lt;strong&gt;conditional reasoning.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;defining-conditional-reasoning&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Defining Conditional Reasoning&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Conditional reasoning is the logic of dependency. This type of logic deals with how one established truth triggers the truthfulness of another statement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A conditional statement comprises two parts:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Antecedent:&lt;/strong&gt; Representing the condition itself (the &amp;quot;if&amp;quot;).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Consequent:&lt;/strong&gt; Representing the result (&amp;quot;then&amp;quot;).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They are formally marked with the letters $P$ and $Q$ respectively, and the fundamental rule in this relationship is that the direction can only go one way - from the antecedent to the consequent ($P &#92;rightarrow Q$). This is to say that the presence of the condition guarantees the result.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;modus-ponens&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Modus Ponens&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Modus Ponens&lt;/strong&gt; is an affirmative conditional syllogism. If the antecedent $P$ is true, then the consequent $Q$ is also true.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We must explore the concept of &lt;strong&gt;Material Implication&lt;/strong&gt; (Single Conditionals) and &lt;strong&gt;Equivalence&lt;/strong&gt; (Biconditionals) when discussing &lt;strong&gt;Modus Ponens.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Material Implication looks like this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; If it&#39;s raining ($P$), the ground must be wet ($Q$).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; It&#39;s raining ($P$ is true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The ground is wet ($Q$ is true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The reason this is important is that there is a crucial axiom to remember about Modus Ponens: &lt;strong&gt;the falsity of a particular antecedent does not necessarily lead to the falsity of the consequent.&lt;/strong&gt; Attempting to confirm the falsity of $Q$ based on the falsity of $P$ alone is known as the &lt;strong&gt;Fallacy of Denying the Antecedent.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If the weather is sunny, it does not strictly mean the ground is not wet. A garden hose or a fire hydrant could easily make the ground wet. &lt;strong&gt;Not-$P$ does not lead to Not-$Q$, because the truthfulness of $Q$ does not depend on the truthfulness of $P$.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The only exception to this axiom is when the relationship between the prerequisite and the consequent is equivalent, going both ways.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Biconditional looks like this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; If a person is a citizen of Israel ($P$), they have the right to vote in Israel ($Q$).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Sufian is a citizen of Israel ($P$ is true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Therefore, Sufian has the right to vote in Israel ($Q$ is true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In syllogisms where the antecedent and the consequent exist in an equivalent (biconditional) relationship like this, the axiom does not apply because Israeli citizenship is objectively the only legal pathway to gain the right to vote in Israel, as it is in most jurisdictions worldwide. &lt;strong&gt;Not-P strictly leads to Not-Q in Biconditional Syllogisms.&lt;/strong&gt; Consequently, this line of reasoning would &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; represent the logical fallacy of denying the antecedent.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you are really astute, you must have noticed that &lt;strong&gt;Modus Ponens&lt;/strong&gt; can represent a line of reasoning very similar to categorical syllogisms to reach a particular conclusion. If you were to use categorization:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; All citizens of Israel have the right to vote.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Sufian is a citizen of Israel.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Sufian has the right to vote.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But &lt;strong&gt;Modus Ponens&lt;/strong&gt; can be incredibly useful in scenarios where categorical syllogisms cannot be utilized. Instructions and directives, logic gates in computer science, etc. often make use of conditional syllogisms.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; If the air-raid siren sounds ($P$), then you must go to the shelter ($Q$).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; The siren is sounding ($P$ is true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Therefore, you must go to the shelter ($Q$ is true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Categorical logic requires a permanent relationship between two groups (All $A$ are $B$). Conditional logic is superior here because it handles event-based triggers in a specific context. We don&#39;t want to claim that all sirens lead to shelters, because this is not true. An air horn during a baseball match does not lead to shelters, for instance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We want to establish that the air-raid sirens, in the context of Israel, lead to shelters &lt;strong&gt;if&lt;/strong&gt; they are sounding, and that is where conditional logic comes into play.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;modus-tollens&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Modus Tollens&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Modus Tollens&lt;/strong&gt; is a negative conditional syllogism. If affirmative conditional syllogisms work with a positive P leading to a positive Q, negative conditional syllogisms seek to confirm that if Q is negative, then P is negative.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Viewed in this way, &lt;strong&gt;Modus Tollens is the opposite of Modus Ponens.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Drawing from the example with rain from above:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; If it&#39;s raining ($P$), the ground must be wet ($Q$).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; The ground is dry ($Q$ is false).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; It is strictly not raining ($P$ is false).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When using the falsity of $Q$ to confirm the falsity of $P$, it is not fallacious because every single possible antecedent is completely ruled out. Given that the ground is dry, it cannot be raining, and there cannot be any garden hoses or fire hydrants wetting it either.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now an example from Hasbara:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; If Israel were apartheid ($P$), it would have laws barring Arabs from the Knesset ($Q$).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Israel does not have laws barring Arabs from the Knesset ($Q$ is false).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Therefore, Israel is not apartheid ($P$ is false).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And Israeli citizenship:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; If Sufian were a citizen of Israel ($P$), he would have voting rights in Israel ($Q$).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Sufian does not have voting rights in Israel ($Q$ is false).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Therefore, Sufian cannot be a citizen of Israel ($P$ is false).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From my experience in Hasbara circles, &lt;strong&gt;Modus Tollens&lt;/strong&gt; as a logical operation seems to find its way into debates more often than &lt;strong&gt;Modus Ponens&lt;/strong&gt; does. This likely has to do with the nature of our work as Zionists. It is very easy for propally death cultists to write a hundred blood libels about Israel in five minutes, but it is bitter work for us to sit down and debunk those lies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is to say that our work often revolves around disproving blood libels via syllogisms like &lt;strong&gt;Modus Tollens,&lt;/strong&gt; instead of establishing ground truths about Israel, which reflects how disgusting the world has become.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;necessary-and-sufficient-conditions&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Necessary and Sufficient Conditions&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Conditions can be &lt;strong&gt;Sufficient&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Necessary&lt;/strong&gt; in conditional syllogisms. In informal terms, this determines the strictness of the outcome, i.e. how strict the required condition is to achieve the result in question:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In Israel, being a Jew is a &lt;strong&gt;sufficient&lt;/strong&gt; condition for citizenship under the Law of Return. This means that being Jewish is enough on its own, but it is not the only way.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Drinking water is a &lt;strong&gt;necessary&lt;/strong&gt; condition for staying alive as a human. You must drink water, but on its own, it&#39;s not enough to keep you alive - you need food, air, etc.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let&#39;s explore a few more examples:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In Israel, being partnered or married to a Jew is a &lt;strong&gt;sufficient&lt;/strong&gt; condition for citizenship under the Law of Return.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In Israel, being mentally stable is a &lt;strong&gt;necessary&lt;/strong&gt; condition for IDF enrollment.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And a &lt;strong&gt;Modus Ponens,&lt;/strong&gt; with an example individual named Julian:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; If Julian is eligible to serve in the IDF ($P$), then he must be mentally stable ($Q$).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Julian is eligible to serve in the IDF ($P$ is true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Therefore, Julian is mentally stable ($Q$ is true).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let us explore the Fallacy of Denying the Antecedent in this particular case. An invalid argument would look like this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; If Julian is eligible to serve in the IDF ($P$), then he must be mentally stable ($Q$).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minor Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Julian is not eligible to serve in the IDF ($P$ is false).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Therefore, Julian is mentally unstable ($Q$ is false).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That is a &lt;a href=&quot;https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/non-sequitur&quot;&gt;Non-Sequitur&lt;/a&gt; - Julian may not be eligible to serve the IDF, but that does not strictly mean his ineligibility is caused by mental instability. Ineligibility for military service can have many different causes - chronic diseases (such as &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Familial_Mediterranean_fever&quot;&gt;Mediterranean Fever&lt;/a&gt;), chronic obesity, physical injuries, disabilities, and more. From this syllogism alone, all we know for sure is that Julian is ineligible, and claiming it must be because of mental instability is an &lt;strong&gt;assumption with no evidence.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;moving-forward&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Moving Forward&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Both categorical and conditional reasoning are major pillars of critical thinking. Understanding them is required in all philosophical and geopolitical discourse.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-conditional-reasoning-seminar/&quot;&gt;In the upcoming seminar,&lt;/a&gt; we will explore detailed examples of conditional reasoning, applying the knowledge in this lecture to even more Israel-related scenarios.&lt;/p&gt;

    <updated>2026-04-29T11:13:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-introduction-seminar/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/ctf.png&quot; alt=&quot;Critical Thinking Fundamentals - Introduction&quot; title=&quot;Critical Thinking Fundamentals - Introduction&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-introduction/&quot;&gt;The lecture can be accessed here.&lt;/a&gt; The information from it is required in order to understand the examples in this seminar.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;applying-critical-thinking-in-hasbara&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Applying Critical Thinking in Hasbara&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the introductory lecture, we explored the definition of an argument, a premise, and a conclusion, as well as the criteria governing the soundness and validity of argumentation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is crucial to apply this knowledge to &lt;strong&gt;Hasbara.&lt;/strong&gt; For those unacquainted, Hasbara is a type of activism performed by Zionists, such as myself. The term originates from Hebrew, and its literal translation is &lt;strong&gt;&amp;quot;The Explanation.&amp;quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;jews-are-indigenous-to-israel&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Jews Are Indigenous to Israel&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We can use &lt;strong&gt;deductive reasoning&lt;/strong&gt; in order to prove that Jews are indigenous to Israel. To do this, we must first clarify the definition of indigenity, as well as establish verified historical facts about the Jewish presence in their homeland.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.unesco.org/en/query-list/i/indigenous#:~:text=%22Indigenous%22%20refers%20to%20the%20original,and%20traditions%20of%20Indigenous%20Peoples.&quot;&gt;First, UNESCO &lt;em&gt;(mighty ironic)&lt;/em&gt; define the term as, &amp;quot;referring to the original inhabitants of a region, particularly those who maintain cultural, social, and historical ties to their ancestral lands.&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Secondly, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.perplexity.ai/search/36fcd4b7-5fc2-4ed7-822d-45b3bfc27ff1&quot;&gt;the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah are ancient. They have existed for about 3000 years, and their Jewish population has been ever-present in the region up until this day.&lt;/a&gt; Jews have preserved their religion, their language, and all of their traditions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historically, there is a simple explanation for the preservation of Jewish culture, and I will explore it in detail in a future lecture. But in short, the principle is that peoples with unique languages and scripts, religions, and customs, are far more likely to resist assimilation than those without. There are many examples of this apart from Jews, such as Bulgarians.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In any case, with the facts established, let us begin writing our argumentation:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Indigenous Peoples are the original inhabitants of a region with cultural, social, and historical ties to their ancestral lands.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; The Kingdoms of Israel and Judah housed Jews for thousands of years before being conquered, and Jewish presence in the region remained constant to this day.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Jews are an Indigenous People, and the original inhabitants of Israel and Judah.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This argument is &lt;strong&gt;sound.&lt;/strong&gt; Its premises lead to a truthful conclusion, which can be verified. &lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-introduction/#:~:text=This%20is%20called%20Deductive%20Reasoning%2C%20where%20the%20general%20leads%20to%20a%20sound%20conclusion%20about%20a%20particular%20case.&quot;&gt;As I explained in the lecture,&lt;/a&gt; the category of indigenous people is the &lt;strong&gt;general,&lt;/strong&gt; and Jews are the &lt;strong&gt;particular case.&lt;/strong&gt; This is what makes our argument &lt;strong&gt;deductive.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/deduction-1.png&quot; alt=&quot;Diagram showcasing that Indigenous Peoples is the broad category that Jews belong to.&quot; title=&quot;Deduction #1 Illustrated&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;defining-apartheid&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Defining Apartheid&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Accusations against Israel allegedly being &amp;quot;an apartheid state&amp;quot; have been flying out of the mouths of countless people for decades. &lt;strong&gt;The problem is that reality does not support their allegations.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let&#39;s begin with the definition of apartheid. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/apartheid&quot;&gt;According to Merriam-Webster, apartheid refers to racial segregation.&lt;/a&gt; Specifically, the term originates from South Africa as a policy from last century, where significant socio-political segregation against the non-white population of SA was exercised. Fortunately, this does not seem to be the case today.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This racial segregation is defined by what jobs people of particular ethnic backgrounds can hold, what political and institutional positions they can occupy, and where they can live or own land.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, let us explore all of these categories &lt;em&gt;(jobs, institutions, land)&lt;/em&gt; and verify the situation in Israel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After a quick Google search, I discovered that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.shebaonline.org/team-2/&quot;&gt;the Sheba Medical Center&#39;s prominent nurse and medical coordinator in the Financial Department is named Khaled Assaf, who speaks Arabic, Hebrew, and English.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/khaledassafcard.png&quot; alt=&quot;Medical personnel web card showcasing HCP Khaled Assaf&#39;s credentials and contact details.&quot; title=&quot;Khaled Assaf Web Card&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Immediately after this, I noticed that one of the Case Managers in the Patient Relations Center is named Jozef Barokas, who offers medical care in Turkish, Hebrew, and English.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/jozefbarokascard.png&quot; alt=&quot;Medical personnel web card showcasing HCP Jozef Barokas&#39; credentials and contact details.&quot; title=&quot;Jozef Barokas Web Card&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since these healthcare providers are explicitly stated to practice their treatment in Arabic and Turkish, as well as Hebrew, this immediately points to the fact that &lt;strong&gt;all patients speaking those languages can visit the Sheba Medical Center all the same.&lt;/strong&gt; In an apartheid regime, individuals of varying ethnic backgrounds who spoke different languages &lt;strong&gt;would not be treated in the same medical center, nor would that center&#39;s healthcare providers accommodate the languages patients speak.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This showcases that Arabic and Turkish speakers are able to occupy incredibly important medical positions. Khaled Assaf is an especially important example, &lt;a href=&quot;https://share.google/aimode/ZDxhPUpeKiglK5IdG&quot;&gt;as his name is completely Arabic.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Within the Knesset, which is essentially Israel&#39;s government, numerous political parties exist, &lt;a href=&quot;https://israelpolicyforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Israels-Political-Parties-and-Breakdown-of-the-Outgoing-Knesset-2022.pdf&quot;&gt;most notably the Ra&#39;am Party - an Arab party with roots in the Islamic movement.&lt;/a&gt; Their leader is Mansour Abbas, &lt;a href=&quot;https://share.google/aimode/dn3rkBbSPGb3HwYaD&quot;&gt;which is a traditional Arabic name as well.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In case of doubts, &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansour_Abbas&quot;&gt;Mansour Abbas&#39; Wikipedia page states that he was born and raised in Israel, and has attended the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have established that &lt;strong&gt;there exist Arab political parties in Israel&#39;s Knesset, and that they have Muslim Arab politicians born and raised in Israel with equal rights.&lt;/strong&gt; And given that Israel is the Jewish State, the existence of Arab political parties within its government render it &lt;strong&gt;pluralistic and democratic.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In politics, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pluralism&quot;&gt;pluralism is a state of society in which members of diverse ethnic, racial, religious, or social groups maintain and develop their traditional culture or special interest within the confines of a common civilization.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Similarly, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/democracy&quot;&gt;democracy is a form of government in which the people elect representatives to make decisions, policies, laws, etc. according to law; an organization or situation in which everyone is treated equally and has the right to participate equally in management, decision-making, etc.; and political, social, or economic equality, defined by the absence of hereditary or arbitrary class distinctions or privileges.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before moving onto the argumentation, it should be established that &lt;strong&gt;arguments can have numerous premises, not just two.&lt;/strong&gt; Such arguments are known as &lt;strong&gt;polysyllogisms.&lt;/strong&gt; Up until now, the arguments explored were &lt;strong&gt;syllogisms.&lt;/strong&gt; In logic, there&#39;s no limit to the number of premises a syllogism can have - whether they are two, three, or forty.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With that in mind, here is the first polysyllogism:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Apartheid is racial segregation that limits human rights and opportunities.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Israeli hospitals house diverse healthcare professionals.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Israel&#39;s government houses Arab and Muslim political parties.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Israel is &lt;strong&gt;NOT&lt;/strong&gt; an apartheid state.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And the second:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Pluralism is ethnic diversity and equality.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Democracy is a governmental organization of equal participation rights, regardless of background.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Israeli hospitals house diverse healthcare professionals.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Israel&#39;s government houses Arab and Muslim political parties.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Israel is an inclusive, pluralistic democracy.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Both arguments are &lt;strong&gt;sound&lt;/strong&gt; because all of their premises are supported by verified data, and the conclusions logically follow from those premises.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;People insist on the inverse:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Apartheid is racial segregation that limits human rights and opportunities.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Israeli hospitals house diverse healthcare professionals.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Israel&#39;s government houses Arab and Muslim political parties.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Israel is an apartheid state.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This argument is &lt;strong&gt;invalid and unsound.&lt;/strong&gt; The conclusion does not follow from the premises whatsoever.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can only guess that some readers are going to think, &amp;quot;Well, the people who come to this conclusion have the wrong premises, so their argument is technically valid!&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The argument may be valid because its conclusion follows from their premises, &lt;strong&gt;but it is still incorrect and unsound&lt;/strong&gt; because it does not match reality. A &amp;quot;valid argument&amp;quot; like this is &lt;strong&gt;functionally useless, misleading, and baseless.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Everyone has a responsibility to educate themselves and verify if their premises are factually correct. All I did was a few quick Google searches just to provide evidence for this lesson. I did not invoke my long-standing knowledge on Israel, nor did I cite &lt;a href=&quot;https://pastebin.com/uTT91J3B&quot;&gt;my Pastebin document (until now anyway).&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I checked a single hospital, and Israel&#39;s core legislative body - the Knesset. They are far from the only examples, and given you are equipped with an Internet connection, you have the first-world privilege of being able to research this further if you so desire.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;the-benefits-of-critical-thinking&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;The Benefits of Critical Thinking&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A single lesson in formal logic is all it takes to be able to dismantle two of the most dangerous lies and blood libels about Israel. Adding new knowledge to your arsenal means acquiring new tools to dismantle those lies and expose the faulty reasoning of antisemites.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You are free to cite my work whenever you find yourself in a debate. That&#39;s the other reason why I am writing these detailed articles.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-conditional-reasoning/&quot;&gt;In the next lecture, we will take a look at &lt;strong&gt;conditional reasoning.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/ctf.png&quot; alt=&quot;Critical Thinking Fundamentals - Introduction&quot; title=&quot;Critical Thinking Fundamentals - Introduction&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Wasp Alloy&lt;/strong&gt; now features &lt;em&gt;lecture&lt;/em&gt; articles.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Up until this point, the platform housed &lt;em&gt;satire&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;serious&lt;/em&gt; analyses. With the addition of lectures, I will be able to fulfill one of my long-standing desires - to dive into the world of the philosophical discipline called &lt;strong&gt;logic.&lt;/strong&gt; People also refer to it as &lt;strong&gt;critical thinking.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;the-purpose-of-critical-thinking&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;The Purpose of Critical Thinking&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In philosophical discourse, care must be taken to ensure every argument is supported by evidence, and that all of them are internally congruent.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic&quot;&gt;Logic is the study of reasoning.&lt;/a&gt; This discipline includes both a formal and an informal branch. Both branches will be explored together in the Critical Thinking Fundamentals series. &lt;strong&gt;In any case, the overarching truth about logic is that it aims to teach the principles of sound reasoning.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sound reasoning is essential across the humanities, as it determines one&#39;s credibility, which can in turn affect society on various scales - whether small or large. This is why every student of humanitarian disciplines - politicians, journalists, historians, philosophers, etc. must familiarize themselves with the concept of sound reasoning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/debunking-%22talmud%22-antisemitic-lies/&quot;&gt;In a world increasingly plagued by idiotic takes on Israel&lt;/a&gt;, there is no better time and place than right here and now to get started.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;defining-argument%2C-premise%2C-and-conclusion&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Defining Argument, Premise, and Conclusion&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The core tenet of logic is as follows:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;An &lt;strong&gt;argument&lt;/strong&gt; is a collection of &lt;strong&gt;premises,&lt;/strong&gt; leading to a &lt;strong&gt;conclusion.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A &lt;strong&gt;premise&lt;/strong&gt; is a foundational statement, assumption, or proposition.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A &lt;strong&gt;conclusion&lt;/strong&gt; is the final decision reached through reasoning.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Arguments are evaluated on two main criteria - &lt;strong&gt;validity&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;soundness.&lt;/strong&gt; Although people colloquially use these terms interchangeably, the truth is that they are completely separate:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A &lt;strong&gt;valid&lt;/strong&gt; argument is one where the logical structure is flawless. In a valid argument, if the premises are true, the conclusion must absolutely be true. Crucially, an argument&#39;s structure can be valid even if its premises are completely false in reality.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;An &lt;strong&gt;invalid&lt;/strong&gt; argument is one where the logical structure is broken. Even if the premises are factually true, they do not logically guarantee the conclusion.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A &lt;strong&gt;sound&lt;/strong&gt; argument is the ultimate goal. It is an argument that is both structurally &lt;strong&gt;valid,&lt;/strong&gt; and whose premises are empirically &lt;strong&gt;true&lt;/strong&gt; in reality.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An axiom to keep in mind is that &lt;strong&gt;all sound arguments are valid, but not all valid arguments are sound.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You may find it difficult to wrap your head around these concepts at first, but in truth, they will start making sense as soon as we explore a few examples.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;examples-of-argumentation&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Examples of Argumentation&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let us take a look at the following argument, comprising two premises and a conclusion:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; All mammals have lungs.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Cats are mammals.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; All cats have lungs.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is called &lt;strong&gt;Deductive Reasoning,&lt;/strong&gt; where &lt;strong&gt;the general&lt;/strong&gt; leads to a sound conclusion about &lt;strong&gt;a particular case.&lt;/strong&gt; In other words, it is a &lt;strong&gt;Categorical Syllogism.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The first premise establishes the general fact that all mammals have lungs. The second premise establishes that cats belong to the same &lt;strong&gt;category&lt;/strong&gt; established in the first premise. If cats belong to the category of mammals, and all mammals have lungs, the conclusion is that all cats have lungs as well, with no exception.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Because all empirical evidence is conclusive about mammals&#39; possession of lungs, as well as the categorization of cats based on their anatomical characteristics, the full argument is &lt;strong&gt;sound.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another example:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; All mammals live on land.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Whales live in the ocean.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Whales are not mammals.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From the perspective of logic, the argument is valid because its conclusion is congruent with the established premises. &lt;strong&gt;However, it is not sound&lt;/strong&gt; because the first premise is false, leading to an incorrect conclusion, and rendering the entire argument &lt;strong&gt;incorrect.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mammals live both on land and in the ocean. And when this truth is established, it becomes impossible to determine whether a whale is a mammal or not solely by the fact whales live underwater:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Mammals live on land and in the ocean.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Premise:&lt;/strong&gt; Whales live in the ocean.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Whales may or may not be mammals.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is why in order to determine the appropriate categorization for whales, we must inspect other features they possess that undeniably place them within the category of mammals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://share.google/aimode/53fSO1deJURrAPZ8D&quot;&gt;As summarized here:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Whales are classified as mammals because they share key biological characteristics with land mammals, rather than fish. Despite living entirely in the water, they are warm-blooded, air-breathing creatures that nurse their young.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is with this broad collection of premises that we can confirm the status of whales as mammals.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Understanding the fundamentals of logic is integral to understanding future lectures. This introductory lesson is not comprehensive, and its purpose is to ease readers into the realm of critical thinking without overwhelming them with complex terminology.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can always browse academic literature to learn more, but the core advantage of reading about it on &lt;strong&gt;The Wasp Alloy&lt;/strong&gt; is the ability to see how I apply it in my Hasbara activism. &lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/critical-thinking-fundamentals-introduction-seminar/&quot;&gt;The next article is a seminar which explores the utility of this lecture in real-world scenarios, specifically in relation to Israel.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Random Vandalism Incidents Attract Disproportionate Attention, Fuel New Antisemitic Rhetoric</title>

    <updated>2026-04-27T10:54:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/random-vandalism-incidents-attract-disproportionate-attention-fuel-new-antisemitic-rhetoric/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/image1325.png&quot; alt=&quot;Vandal destroys Jesus Christ statue in Southern Lebanon&quot; title=&quot;Vandal destroys Jesus Christ statue in Southern Lebanon&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;A random IDF soldier broke this Jesus Christ statue this, a few random IDF soldier broke solar panels that.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If this is the critical content that news outlets are seeking to report nowadays, I must make a counterpoint: &lt;em&gt;disproportionately focusing on minor, fringe incidents &lt;strong&gt;solely&lt;/strong&gt; because they were carried out by soldiers who happened to be Jewish-Israeli, is antisemitism.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Claims have already begun flying around like headless chickens, because antisemites froth at their mouths at every opportunity to drag Israel through the mud.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;the-broken-statue-of-jesus-christ&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;The Broken Statue of Jesus Christ&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes, it&#39;s true that an IDF soldier broke a statue of Jesus Christ in Southern Lebanon. However, this is nothing more than an isolated case of vandalism. The IDF have already punished the soldier by removing them from their post and even sentencing them to a month of prison. The IDF have even gone out of their way to replace the statue with a brand new one.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We can all imagine what the world&#39;s most dedicated antisemites have begun spouting about Israel and this individual, but a handful of fellow Zionist activists have not been too kind either. &lt;a href=&quot;https://youtube.com/shorts/5iL3UDPhhV8?si=1B750-VwnWvez89S&quot;&gt;Tal Oran&#39;s response&lt;/a&gt; condemns the act, expressing his total disgust, and comparing the vandal to a terrorist.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I believe this is an overreaction driven by emotional reasoning. My own take as an Arab Zionist is this: &lt;em&gt;what we see is a random idiot doing an idiotic thing. &lt;strong&gt;That person is not a terrorist nor an enemy, nor do they begin being comparable to them&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt; Ultimately, it is random nobody who, as expected, was swiftly punished by the IDF.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The IDF&#39;s Purity of Arms exist not because they ensure the rules will never be broken - which is objectively impossible for every institution in existence, but because they ensure that in the rare circumstances that they &lt;em&gt;are&lt;/em&gt; broken, justice and punishment will be served, and improvements are established.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;the-broken-solar-panels&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;The Broken Solar Panels&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/p/DXl3deUlMe0/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==&quot;&gt;According to an article published by the Jerusalem Post on Instagram&lt;/a&gt;, a handful of IDF soldiers bulldozed a handful of solar panels, and filmed the process. This is vandalism - nothing more, nothing less.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/p/DXl3deUlMe0/c/18321919015251264/&quot;&gt;Instagram user Kdarwish&lt;/a&gt;, whom I have indeed added to a list as part of my legal cases to address antisemitism on social media, posits that this is allegedly the typical conduct of the Israel Defense Forces. However, this couldn&#39;t be further from the truth, and I have explained time and time again &lt;a href=&quot;https://pastebin.com/uTT91J3B&quot;&gt;why that is&lt;/a&gt;. No, the IDF don&#39;t systematically destroy things. It&#39;s not part of their conduct. We are once again looking at a handful of individuals who are personally responsible for themselves, and whom the IDF is already criminally investigating.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This doesn&#39;t begin to cover the fact that an army which &amp;quot;systematically destroys things&amp;quot; would never launch a criminal investigation into minor acts of vandalism. That alone is in favor of the IDF as the most ethical army on the planet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/p/DXl3deUlMe0/c/18096350300160879/&quot;&gt;Michael D. Abernathy&lt;/a&gt;, who alleges in their bio that they are a &amp;quot;Retired DoD/aerospace major system acquisition &amp;amp; military construction specialist,&amp;quot; claims that this is a violation of the Geneva Convention and a war crime. They even went a step further and claimed that Israel&#39;s military operations are illegal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If I go to Greece and grab a bulldozer to destroy a handful of solar panels, does that make me a war criminal, or a vandal? Well, even my own analogy is kind of a category error, because Greece is not Lebanon, for Greece isn&#39;t housing a terrorist organization like Hezbollah. That&#39;s what my reminder has been to these people - assumptions that these solar panels could power an entire civilian infrastructure are &lt;strong&gt;completely ridiculous&lt;/strong&gt; for a multitude of reasons.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For starters, there&#39;s the fact that what we see on the video are maybe up to a dozen solar panels in a very small area, as indicated by the truck and bulldozer themselves, as seen in the footage. That tiny strip of land dedicated to solar panels is never going to begin to power an entire town. Thinking otherwise is a crack fever dream.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Secondly, and this is even more important, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.perplexity.ai/search/bf4edbf0-ffd7-4ef0-a667-4432dfff3dca&quot;&gt;the entirety of Southern Lebanon is not only evacuated at present&lt;/a&gt;, but is hardly ever filled squarely with innocent civilians. Don&#39;t forget Hezbollah - the terrorist organization. In fact, if you ask me - and this is speculative, the number of solar panels is far from sufficient to power a town, but it is suitable for underground terrorist bases.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Finally, if I initiate military operations against a terrorist organization as an act of self-defense, which law will I have broken? &lt;strong&gt;None&lt;/strong&gt;. There is no such law. You see, people absolutely &lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/the-us-violated-what-law-now/&quot;&gt;love cosplaying and using the term &amp;quot;international law&amp;quot; for its fancy appearance in speech&lt;/a&gt;, but I have honestly never seen anybody actually cite existing laws that were genuinely broken. Hint: &lt;strong&gt;it&#39;s because Israel never broke any,&lt;/strong&gt; and because these LARPers have no idea what they even entail to start with.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;neither-incident-is-a-war-crime&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Neither Incident Is a War Crime&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Antisemites are already using emotionally charged rhetoric in light of these insignificant misdemeanors, inflating them into &amp;quot;war crimes.&amp;quot; They do this because a war crime includes the destruction of civilian property.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, two serious mistakes are committed:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the case of the solar panels, this assumes they are indeed part of civilian infrastructure, which we have no confirmation of.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;And, much more importantly, that&#39;s not how the Geneva Convention actually works. A war crime is defined by institutional &lt;strong&gt;Mens Rea&lt;/strong&gt; (intentionality) and endorsement, not by rogue individuals&#39; misconduct.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If a police officer steals a candy bar while on duty, did the &amp;quot;Police Department commit a Grand Larceny heist&amp;quot;? No - a rogue individual performed a petty crime. End of discussion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A war crime requires the act to be part of a systematic military objective or a result of command policy.&lt;/strong&gt; Since the IDF arrested the vandals immediately, banned them from serving the IDF, and even imprisoned them, the institution proved this was &lt;strong&gt;a violation of IDF conduct, not a manifestation of its strategy.&lt;/strong&gt; This explicit lack of Mens Rea is what undoubtedly categorizes the act as individual misdemeanor and vandalism, and not a war crime.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;the-broken-society&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;The Broken Society&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fuck statues, and fuck solar panels. This entire planet has become an elaborate piece of satire. I think that&#39;s honestly far more important than a few minor insignificant incidents that have nothing to do with the IDF&#39;s Purity of Arms and overall ethical military conduct.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If a Muslim had desecrated a Jewish symbol by breaking it, how many headlines would that have made? And how many people would&#39;ve discussed it to an absurd degree? Or do Muslims get a pass because &amp;quot;Meh, it&#39;s just what Muslims do anyway&amp;quot;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s just ridiculous that a person&#39;s national, ethnic and religious identity dictate how much attention something as meaningless as minor vandalism is going to get. &lt;strong&gt;The only reason I am addressing it is because I find all responses like these disproportionate. And what&#39;s worse is that they are coming from all sides, not just the propallies.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I condemn vandalism, but I don&#39;t dedicate this much rage about it. Whether it&#39;s a teenager or a middle-aged person, that former soldier did dumb shit, a few other guys did dumb shit. There&#39;s millions of people going through the IDF all the time through mandatory conscription.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The IDF&#39;s Purity of Arms and Rules of Engagement exist not to guarantee they will never-ever be broken, but to guarantee that in the rare circumstances they are, they will be enforced and strengthened, and the culprits punished accordingly.&lt;/strong&gt; That&#39;s the purpose of any institution&#39;s rules. You cannot reasonably expect any institution to be omnipresent and omniscient and know what every single individual is up to at any given moment. No soul is all-seeing nor all-knowing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No human system - not surgery, not aviation, not military, not even the legal system itself - operates at a 0.00000% error rate. By demanding it only from the IDF, antisemites reveal their &lt;strong&gt;Special Pleading Fallacy - holding one group to a standard that applies to no one else.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A commander or another higher-up was certainly dispatched at that location as well; they likely had to look away for 5 minutes, entrusting the area to the former soldier(s). And they recorded that video. That&#39;s usually how these incidents happen - and they are incredibly rare. I can count such incidents on my two hands. That&#39;s why global outrage over a fucking statue &lt;em&gt;that the IDF later replaced anyway&lt;/em&gt; is just a ridiculous concept that should never be treated as something normal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;But it&#39;s the symbolism!&amp;quot; What symbolism? You may want to stop making assumptions about Judaism. I know full-well what many people claim: &amp;quot;Oh, but Jews hate Christians, Jews killed Jesus, Jews this Jews that.&amp;quot; Jews did nothing wrong to anyone, and that Jesus claim is absurd for a multitude of reasons:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Jesus Christ was Jewish himself.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;quot;Jews&amp;quot; as a broad collective did not kill Jesus; a small group of traitors did. A handful of Jewish traitors handed a Jew over to the Romans, while other Jews sought to protect Jesus.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;There is no mandate against Christianity in Judaism.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why is the world not focusing on the millions of people the IRGC has killed instead? Or the innocent Israelis that died on the Nova Festival? Why are Instagram users writing vile comments about us Zionists, and telling Jews to &amp;quot;go to the chambers&amp;quot;? Why are Israelis and Jews called &amp;quot;filth that has not been taught anything else than to speak this terrorist language [Hebrew]&amp;quot;? And why are &lt;strong&gt;those&lt;/strong&gt; comments not causing global outrage?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let me tell you why - because nobody cares. Nobody cares about any &amp;quot;dead children&amp;quot; in Gaza whether real or fake (there aren&#39;t any, not from IDF conduct anyway). Nobody cares how much humanitarian aid Israel distributes in the Gaza Strip. Antisemites only care that there is a socially acceptable opportunity to bash Jews, harass them, murder them, and assassinate their allies. That&#39;s what it has always been about. If these posturing pricks gave a shit about dead innocent people&#39;s lives, they wouldn&#39;t be &lt;strong&gt;supporting&lt;/strong&gt; the IRGC.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When people exaggerate these incidents to a ridiculously absurd degree only because &amp;quot;Israelis/Jews/IDF Soldiers did it,&amp;quot; it says everything you need to know about our cursed timeline. Someday, historians will look back and wonder what sort of mental depravity it was that conquered such a large portion of the world.&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Meta, Why Is This Tolerated on Your Platform?</title>
    <link href="https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/meta-why-is-this-tolerated-on-your-platform/"/>
    <updated>2026-04-10T22:18:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/meta-why-is-this-tolerated-on-your-platform/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/screenshot_20260411_001740_threads.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Threads Screenshot of Antisemites Spreading Blood Libel &amp;amp; Propaganda&quot; title=&quot;Threads Screenshot of Antisemites Spreading Blood Libel &amp;amp; Propaganda&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Did you ever imagine just a few years ago that this is what the world would turn into? &lt;strong&gt;Oh, me neither.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&#39;ll keep this short and sweet:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Social media platforms all make a promise to their users that they will be protected from harrassment, death threats, terrorism, hate speech, and so on. However, they are failing to deliver on that promise. Comments like these, even if reported by dozens of people, do not get removed, and their systems always return this abominable message: &lt;strong&gt;&amp;quot;This does not violate our content policies.&amp;quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&#39;m sorry, violent antisemitism and the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.perplexity.ai/search/without-any-extra-details-tell-1EazJ44sQVC4fjF9SeOCZg&quot;&gt;inversion of the First Intifada&lt;/a&gt; are not a violation of your content policies? I don&#39;t want whatever you&#39;re smoking, Zuckerberg.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Perhaps these content policies were written by Hitler himself? He sat down one afternoon a century ago, filled with blind antisemitic ghoulish bile that he wanted to release, and vomited all over a few sheets of paper. It just so happened that the antisemitic content policies we are experiencing today appeared on his list.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The part about Hitler is mostly satire, but in practice, the amount of antisemitism that goes unpunished is completely revolting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;This delirious woman is referring to an alleged incident with &amp;quot;Zionist Gangs&amp;quot; from some 40 years ago doing &amp;quot;terrible things&amp;quot; to Arabs. It just so happens that her period of choice coincides with the First Intifada, which was a series of mass terrorist attacks performed &lt;strong&gt;on innocent Jews and Israelis.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And yes, I asked PerplexityAI to keep it strictly about the time period itself, because AI models regurgitate all the Pisslamist propaganda that exists online. If there&#39;s 133 Muslims for every 1 Jew, I think the Muzzie narrative is inevitably going to overpower the truth due to sheer numbers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Numbers are not the truth. The truth is that which objectively matches reality. It&#39;s not subject to numbers, opinions, or allegiances. Social media moderators should learn this.&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>News Outlets Have Already Begun Inverting Israeli Bill Narrative</title>
    <link href="https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/news-outlets-have-already-begun-inverting-israeli-bill-narrative/"/>
    <updated>2026-03-30T20:11:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/news-outlets-have-already-begun-inverting-israeli-bill-narrative/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/714076.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Knesset approves death penalty for terrorists bill, March 30, 2026. (photo credit: KNESSET)&quot; title=&quot;Knesset approves death penalty for terrorists bill, March 30, 2026. (photo credit: KNESSET)&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Knesset, Israel:&lt;/strong&gt; Earlier today, the Knesset approved a new death penalty bill for terrorists convicted of murdering Israelis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From virtually every point of view, whether ethical, strategic, pragmatic, or logical, this bill is long overdue, and it will deliver justice to those whose irreversible indoctrination is the engine behind countless lost innocent lives.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Terrorism is no joke. It&#39;s not a mentality that can simply be &amp;quot;talked away&amp;quot; like Western armchair experts capriciously believe. Yet in a typical antisemitic fashion, outlets like &lt;strong&gt;PBS&lt;/strong&gt; have taken it upon themselves to &amp;quot;gently rephrase&amp;quot; what the new bill is all about.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Jerusalem Post, &lt;a href=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.netlify.app/posts/addressing-problematic-jerusalem-post-article-on-judea-samaria-incident/&quot;&gt;while not perfect&lt;/a&gt;, accurately declares: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/politics-and-diplomacy/article-891688&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Knesset approves death penalty for terrorists bill, Netanyahu in favor.&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But PBS were quirkier and more subversive: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/israels-parliament-approves-death-penalty-for-palestinians-convicted-of-murdering-israelis&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Israel&#39;s parliament approves death penalty for Palestinians convicted of murdering Israelis.&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do you notice the difference? Forget about &lt;a href=&quot;https://pastebin.com/uTT91J3B&quot;&gt;the non-existent &amp;quot;Palestinian&amp;quot; identity&lt;/a&gt; and imagine their headline said &amp;quot;Arabs&amp;quot; instead. If one were to believe the PBS&#39; framing of the event, they would also be misled into believing that any Arab who has ever murdered an Israeli can now be legally executed in Israel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I myself am Arab. Let&#39;s say, for example, that I am a criminal, and I murder an Israeli in a domestic incident. In PBS&#39; framework, I would be sentenced to death. But in reality, that isn&#39;t the case, because I am not a terrorist, and I am not associated with terrorist organizations. Even if I murder an Israeli, I would be sentenced to prison - like any murderer - and not to death.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let us please take a look at the definition of International Terrorism, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/terrorism&quot;&gt;as emphasized by the FBI in the United States&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;International terrorism:&lt;/strong&gt; Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups who are inspired by, or associated with, designated foreign terrorist organizations or nations (state-sponsored).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Convicts of the aforementioned offenses are those set to receive the death penalty, not any Arab who ever murders an Israeli. A murderer is not necessarily a terrorist. A criminal convicted of mass murder is not necessarily a terrorist. But a member of Hamas who has killed hundreds of Israelis, and has been paid a Pay-For-Slay Tax by the PA? That is a terrorist.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;understanding-terrorist-indoctrination&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Understanding Terrorist Indoctrination&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many people, usually from the comfort of their armchairs at home, love romanticizing the human heart to a fault. I have seen many delirious takes in my life, but one of the worst ones is that you could talk a terrorist out of their genocidal mindset, and advocate for peace.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s a fundamental misunderstanding of the psychological mechanics that govern terrorist indoctrination. &lt;strong&gt;Terrorist indoctrination that has begun at any moment during one&#39;s childhood is permanent and irreversible.&lt;/strong&gt; Especially if an individual has already murdered members of their designated &amp;quot;enemy.&amp;quot; Even if a member of Hamas has not yet committed murder, curing their indoctrination is already almost impossible with OR without the patient&#39;s consent and willful participation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But the act of murder is a psychological event horizon.&lt;/strong&gt; Once crossed, it is no longer possible to get this person to ever accept that their entire life was built on a lie, that nothing is as they imagined in the world, that they have always been a monster, and that they wrongfully killed innocent Jews and Israelis. The existential shock would be so severe that it would be impossible to even experience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The human brain is especially good at protecting itself from immense traumatic experiences. As such, the terrorist will look for any excuse, any roundabout chain of thought or justification, any thought-stopper, in order to perpetuate the mindset that they are right, they should kill more Jews, and that they are &amp;quot;righteous martyrs resisting oppression.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Forcing a terrorist through cult deprogramming therapy is already impossible. Add in the permanence of their indoctrination, and the possibility of having their old neural pathways activate via no more than a mere phone call or poster, and we have ourselves a terrorist on the loose who will kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cult deprogramming therapy only works on willing participants whose indoctrination started later in their life, such as late teenagerhood, early adulthood, or further into adulthood. The underlying problem is significantly different and easier to treat, because a major portion of the patient&#39;s life has been spent in reality itself. Terrorists, on the other hand, have been living and breathing from childhood to be martyrs for a radical cause, &lt;a href=&quot;https://share.google/aimode/SZKaMhSLNoCmKk5I3&quot;&gt;and have been violently punished with electric cables for not obeying their masters&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mosab Hassan Yousef has been able to revert the Islamic indoctrination and become a staunch Zionist and Hasbara advocate for Israel because he never personally crossed the psychological event horizon of murdering innocent Israelis, and has purposefully converted to Christianity as part of his mental purification process. Had he crossed it, his recovery would have been unattainable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Death penalties for terrorists are necessary worldwide.&lt;/strong&gt; The only part that matters is that caution be exercised when it comes to defining terrorism. In Israel&#39;s case, terrorists are members of Hamas, PIJ, PA, PLO, and so on, which matches the definition of International Terrorism I cited above.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;P.S.&lt;/strong&gt; The law is not limited to any ethnicity. Any terrorist, regardless of race, is subject to this bill. It even theoretically applies to Israelis. This means that if you are Israeli and you commit acts of terrorism on the territories of Israel, you get the death penalty. No more will terrorists kill our innocent children, and then eat 3-course meals in Israeli prisons. They get what their hands did to Israelis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#39;Tis but a simple deductive syllogism - and the study of critical thinking in logic is essential before participating in any geopolitical debate. Let&#39;s take an example individual named Hugo Samberg (Jewish, Israeli), and Faisal Al-Harbi (Arab, Yemeni).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Premise A:&lt;/strong&gt; Any terrorist, regardless of race, is subject to the death penalty bill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Premise B:&lt;/strong&gt; Hugo Samberg is a terrorist, and he is ethnically Jewish, from Israel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The death penalty bill applies to Hugo Samberg.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Premise A:&lt;/strong&gt; Any terrorist, regardless of race, is subject to the death penalty bill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Premise B:&lt;/strong&gt; Faisal Al-Harbi is a terrorist, and he is ethnically Arab, from Yemen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The death penalty bill applies to Faisal Al-Harbi.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is what a nation-state with a spine looks like - the Jewish State of Israel. And terrorists can go to Hell - regardless of their ethnicity. 😀&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Oh, but the United States came to Bulgaria for our oil! Blah-blah whine-whine!&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Shameful and disgraceful!!!&lt;/strong&gt; You take the fattest shit out of your mouths and think gourmet dishes are coming out!? &lt;strong&gt;Israel is everything Bulgaria ever wanted to be, and more!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A negligible society, it isn&#39;t worth the European Union and the States wasting a single cent on us! Let&#39;s just allow the Islamist regime in Iran to send two or three atomic bombs our way right now and wipe this ungrateful, pathetic people off the face of the Earth!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Have you ever actually sat down on your filthy, shitty asses to read even one history lesson!? One philosophy lesson!?&lt;/strong&gt; Or do you just sit behind monitors at campus, acting like you&#39;re hot shit with those worthless scraps of paper you call &amp;quot;diplomas,&amp;quot; and then stand there crying that the States came here for the oil!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Oil!!! What oil is there in Bulgaria, you empty-headed fools!? Brainless animals! Do we even have oil here, or was all the oil taken by your beloved, now-defunct Soviet Union!?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don&#39;t like Ivan Vazov, but the man was right about this society! &lt;strong&gt;Why the hell did all our revolutionaries die, if the liberated nation afterwards remembers neither its history, nor is acquainted with the world around it, nor possesses a single shred of morality in its empty hearts and heads!?!?!?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;IDIOCY AND IGNORANCE!&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Addressing Problematic Jerusalem Post Article on Judea-Samaria Incident</title>
    <link href="https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/addressing-problematic-jerusalem-post-article-on-judea-samaria-incident/"/>
    <updated>2026-03-08T21:24:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/addressing-problematic-jerusalem-post-article-on-judea-samaria-incident/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/690416.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;IDF troops operating in Judea-Samaria. (Credit: IDF SPOKESPERSON&#39;S UNIT)&quot; title=&quot;IDF troops operating in Judea-Samaria. (Credit: IDF SPOKESPERSON&#39;S UNIT)&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Judea-Samaria, Israel, Sunday Morning:&lt;/strong&gt; According to Jerusalem Post article published this morning on March 8th, an incident occurred between a handful of Jewish and Arab civilians within Judea-Samaria.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, that&#39;s not quite how TJP framed it. While I once recognized it as a fairly reliable source of information, its latest post surrenders to the globalized antisemitic lexicon, and presents a violently skewed narrative.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-889209&quot;&gt;You can read the article here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;first%2C-the-article-posits-%22israeli-settlers%22-attacked-%22palestinians%22-in-the-%22west-bank.%22&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;First, the article posits &amp;quot;Israeli settlers&amp;quot; attacked &amp;quot;Palestinians&amp;quot; in the &amp;quot;West Bank.&amp;quot;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As we know, the term &amp;quot;Palestinian&amp;quot; is fabricated. It exists for no other reason than to demonize Jews and to destroy the Jewish State of Israel. The reason why this framing is problematic is because it validates a terrorist narrative, whether by accident or on purpose. &lt;a href=&quot;https://pastebin.com/uTT91J3B&quot;&gt;Verified historical data&lt;/a&gt; confirms the illegitimacy of the term &amp;quot;Palestine&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Palestinian,&amp;quot; and objective information is what every person should strive to adhere to.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The greatest irony, of course, remains the absence of the letter P in the Arabic language, which leads to very curious questions about how an &amp;quot;Islamic Palestine&amp;quot; could have ever existed if Muslims cannot even pronounce the name in their native language, no matter the dialect. They have always substituted the letter P for the letter F in their propaganda.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Arab settlers in Israeli territories are of Egyptian and/or Jordanian origins. There has never been a &amp;quot;Palestinian&amp;quot; identity. At least, not an Islamic one. Israel and Palestine used to be synonyms for The Jewish Homeland, where Israel is the indigenous name, and Palestine is the one imposed onto Israel by the Roman Empire as part of their imperialist conquest and attempt to erase Jewish ties to Israel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The other glaring issue is the reframing of indigenous Jews as &amp;quot;Israeli settlers.&amp;quot;&lt;/strong&gt; This one is especially egregious considering The Jerusalem Post is an Israeli news outlet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://pastebin.com/uTT91J3B&quot;&gt;Jews and Israelis are NOT settlers in their own homeland&lt;/a&gt;. Israelis and Jews are indigenous to these territories. The wording is inaccurate and almost people-pleasingly misleading, which is a dangerous stunt to pull in 2026. With the rise of antisemitism worldwide, providing unnecessary ammunition to radical leftist marxists and alt-right fascist grifters is far from wise.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A settler is, by definition, someone who does not indigenously belong to a particular homeland, especially if one has occupied it by force. That definition does not apply to Jews, but it certainly does to Muslims in most of the Middle East and North Africa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Last, and most certainly not least, the term &amp;quot;West Bank&amp;quot; is a colonial remnant imposed by Muslims.&lt;/strong&gt; The indigenous name is Judea-Samaria. As Zionists, we boast a reliance on objective truth, representing an insurmountable advantage; therefore, we should seek to deligitimize the antisemitic lexicon plaguing media outlets and modern literature.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With this in mind, if we take the information presented by the article at face value, then the objective framing is as I said: an incident occurred between a handful of Jewish and Arab civilians within Judea-Samaria.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;secondly%2C-the-article-is-misleading-not-only-with-its-lexicon%2C-but-with-the-information-presented-in-it.&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Secondly, the article is misleading not only with its lexicon, but with the information presented in it.&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As per The Jerusalem Post, &amp;quot;Three Arabs killed in Judea-Samaria by Jewish civilians.&amp;quot; There is not enough data to support the framing that this was an unprovoked scuffle between civilians instigated by Jews.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before addressing the falsity of this claim, I must stress that the alleged violent act, if true, is NOT a representation or proof of systematic, widespread &amp;quot;Israeli aggression,&amp;quot; and there is no evidence to support this particular conspiracy. In fact, there&#39;s a massive body of counterevidence. What matters is that those are &lt;strong&gt;individuals who made individual choices,&lt;/strong&gt; and it could have been any other ethnic background. Unfortunately, people have already begun using the article to serve their own antisemitic agenda. Israelis are not violent towards their neighbors - it&#39;s quite literally the other way around.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Arabs in Judea-Samaria often engage in violent attacks, such as throwing stones at passing cars or even people, assaulting Jewish civilians, and more. The likelihood of the incident being unprovoked and instigated by Jews is next to none, and this is supported by the presence of the IDF in the scene.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Get this - the IDF are not a police force. They are a military one. In order for an incident to necessitate IDF intervention with tear gas, which the article itself confirms to have happened, then the incident must have been far from a random, unprovoked kerfuffle between Jews and Arabs initiated by Jews, and there is much more to this story than The Jerusalem Post lets on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.openweb.com/share/3AgA7iZZ5Xt58sdrTx6jKKXXRLo&quot;&gt;Commenter Mark Levin&lt;/a&gt; posted the following under the article:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;When soldiers are firing tear gas this wasn’t a few innocent Arabs doing nothing. The fact that the military was there tells me there is a whole lot more to this story. Why is it being published without substantive facts? Because those isn’t journalism. It is propaganda.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.openweb.com/share/3AgAHW5GzaGXCPgTbu6Bxj7sAta&quot;&gt;And commenter Matria&lt;/a&gt; was even more specific about the nature of the incident:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Hardly that. The most moral army in the world arrived at the scene of an Arab riot after Jews called for help, were attacked by the rioters, and shot some of them. Other news outlets published the truth within a few hours.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This remains a claim for now, as I personally do not have evidence to confirm this is what happened with certainty - but neither does TJP&#39;s article provide evidence for its own narrative, so all that remains is &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistemology&quot;&gt;epistemology&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What is more likely to be the case, given the confirmed events? The IDF does not roll into a quiet and peaceful olive grove and start firing tear gas at &amp;quot;innocent people doing nothing.&amp;quot; Tear gas is a crowd-dispersal munition used during violent riots and clashes.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Is this take supported by historical events? &amp;quot;Arabs in Judea-Samaria often engage in violent attacks, such as throwing stones at passing cars or even people, assaulting Jewish civilians, and more.&amp;quot; When this is corroborated with the IDF&#39;s presence and use of tear gas, it means that this must have happened during a riot, and it&#39;s much more likely that the fight was not unprovoked. It was either started by Arabs/Muslims, or by individuals from both groups present.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Is this supported by the IDF&#39;s Code of Conduct (Purity of Arms)? Indeed, the IDF do not harm innocent civilians, nor do they resort to munitions like tear gas unless a situation absolutely necessitates it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Epistemologically, the narrative proposed by Matria is significantly more likely as opposed to The Jerusalem Post&#39;s presentation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;finally%2C-people-trying-to-satirize-the-righteous-denial-of-israeli%2Fjewish-violence-on-arabs-are-maliciously-citing-an-unconfirmed%2C-isolated-incident-to-serve-their-own-antisemitic-agenda.&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Finally, people trying to satirize the righteous denial of Israeli/Jewish violence on Arabs are maliciously citing an unconfirmed, isolated incident to serve their own antisemitic agenda.&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many commenters are writing inflammatory accusations that are not supported by any evidence whatsoever.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even if a murder was what actually took place, these are &lt;strong&gt;individuals.&lt;/strong&gt; They do not represent the Jewish State of Israel, nor its entire population comprising 20.9% Arabs no less, nor do they represent Israel&#39;s legislations. Criminals exist everywhere - let&#39;s not pretend otherwise just to score a few antisemitic points.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;There will be no consequences for the Israelis&amp;quot; is emotional reasoning based on nothing. The Court punishes any criminal regardless of their background, and this is easily confirmed by the strenuous act of Googling it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Journalists have a responsibility to remain objective and not give into the antisemitic lexicon, and readers are equally responsible to read through their news articles with a critical lens.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Debunking &quot;Talmud&quot; Antisemitic Lies</title>
    <link href="https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/debunking-talmud-antisemitic-lies/"/>
    <updated>2026-02-09T20:33:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/debunking-talmud-antisemitic-lies/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://ko-fi.com/s/c90a3caa44&quot;&gt;Link to PDF on Ko-fi.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A few months ago, I tasked myself with researching this infamous &amp;quot;Talmud&amp;quot; booklet that kept cropping up online all the time, especially in antisemitic circles. The subject has been brought up a few times in OtherBarak&#39;s Discord server as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whenever someone asks a question about it, I simply give them the pre-written PDF instead of explaining everything from scratch. Like the PDF, the goal of this article is to act as a reliable information capsule which can be shared online and across social media, and to debunk the blood libel associated with the book, propagated most often in Nazi, Neo-Nazi, Propally (Islamist), and Alt-Right groups, as far as I can tell. Notable examples include propagandist Candace Owens, who accused Jewish activist Ben Shapiro of reading the Talmud, and &amp;quot;knowing what &#39;this Talmud&#39; contains.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to them, en bref, the &amp;quot;Talmud&amp;quot; is a dogmatic text which, supposedly, all Jews follow down to the last letter, and it allegedly contains &amp;quot;morally reprehensible&amp;quot; teachings about vitriol, hatred, and crime justification. Per their words, it &amp;quot;undeniably proves&amp;quot; that Judaism is inherently a malicious religion seeking to impose itself onto others.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I will cite the finished PDF on the subject, and provide additional details where I believe they are necessary.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;the-talmud-schism-(the-library-vs.-the-caricature)&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;The Talmud Schism (The Library vs. The Caricature)&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Truth:&lt;/strong&gt; Ben Shapiro and actual Jews refer to a 1,500-year-old &lt;strong&gt;Library of Legal Debate&lt;/strong&gt;. It is the ultimate anti-dogma book because it documents &lt;em&gt;disagreement&lt;/em&gt; as a sacred act.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Fabrication:&lt;/strong&gt; Candace Owens and other &amp;quot;Useful Idiots&amp;quot; refer to a 19th-century German &lt;strong&gt;Hate-Fiction&lt;/strong&gt; authored by the fraud August Rohling. This version is a &amp;quot;semantic trap&amp;quot; that mistranslates theoretical civil law into commands for criminal behavior.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Link:&lt;/strong&gt; This propaganda didn&#39;t stay in Germany; it was industrially translated and exported by the Nazis and later adopted by Soviet and Islamist regimes. This explains why an American influencer, a Russian bot, and a Qatari news outlet all use the exact same talking points.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Like the quote above states, the Talmud is a Medieval library of rabbinical legal debates. It is nothing but a collection of various thoughts written down by Jewish rabbis during the Middle Ages. Similarly to other such books, the goal is not indoctrination, but to archive historical texts about the various debates people used to have at the time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recorded debates are, by definition, not religious texts, and should not be treated as such. They are thoughts, and readers can interpret them however they want. As I have mentioned before online, most Jews have never even read it, and those who have read it do not necessarily subscribe to its contents.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The most important point to make is that the original, untranslated Talmud does not even contain the supposed &amp;quot;morally reprehensible&amp;quot; teachings that so many people clutch their pearls about. The parties responsible for this particular antisemitic blood libel are primarily propagandists from Nazi Germany, i.e. fraudster August Rohling writing a deeply mistranslated version called &amp;quot;Der Talmudjude&amp;quot; in German, later adopted by Hitler and his Nazi followers to commit genocide against Jews last century.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Soviet Russia &amp;amp; Islamist regimes are not innocent either because of their joint effort to eradicate Jews, which has led to the production of the propaganda book known as &amp;quot;The Protocols of The Elders of Zion&amp;quot; among many other atrocities across the 20th and 21st century.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;the-slavery-equation&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;The Slavery Equation&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Below is the definitive debunking using basic arithmetic – the one thing antisemites fear most.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Ownership Ratio:&lt;/strong&gt; ~98.5% Christian European vs. ~1.5% Jewish.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Demographic Test:&lt;/strong&gt; Those 1.5% of traders represent only 0.12% of the Western Jewish merchant class and a staggering 0.012% of the global Jewish population.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Claiming &amp;quot;Jews ran the slave trade&amp;quot; is like claiming a man with one penny &amp;quot;runs the global economy.&amp;quot; It is a mathematical hallucination.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Part of the propaganda surrounding the infamous Talmud is the alleged &amp;quot;significant participation&amp;quot; of Jews in historical slave trades. However, reputable sources I have linked in the PDF, and will link down below as well, have cited real historical data, confirming that roughly 98.5% of slave owners were Christian European, and only about 1.5% were Jewish. And those 1.5% of Jews represent &lt;strong&gt;only 0.12% of the Western Jewish merchant class &lt;em&gt;alone&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, and a mere 0.012% of the global Jewish population.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Following basic arithmetical logic, the conclusion is that &lt;strong&gt;99.988% of Jews never had any sort of participation in slave trade.&lt;/strong&gt; The antisemitic claim becomes mathematically &lt;em&gt;laughable&lt;/em&gt; when you do the calculations. You cannot condemn an entire group of people for the actions of a few isolated individuals. It&#39;s a complete slap in the face of justice, and incredibly racist.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To provide a different analogy &lt;strong&gt;for the sake of argument&lt;/strong&gt;, this is like positing that one or two Spanish criminals makes &lt;strong&gt;all Spaniards criminals, even if 99.9% of Spaniards don&#39;t engage in criminal activity, ever.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;does-the-talmud-actually-contain-the-nefarious-things-rohling-claimed%3F&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Does the Talmud actually contain the nefarious things Rohling claimed?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Reality:&lt;/strong&gt; The Talmud discusses theoretical legal scenarios from 1500+ years ago (e.g., property laws, damages, interactions with pagans in ancient Babylon).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Lie:&lt;/strong&gt; Rohling (and modern antisemites) take a line discussing, for example, &amp;quot;Is a Jew liable if their ox gores* a pagan&#39;s ox?&amp;quot; and rewrite it to claim: &amp;quot;The Talmud commands Jews to steal from non-Jews.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Verdict:&lt;/strong&gt; The specific accusations (ritual murder, commanding theft, killing Christians) are fabrications. They do not exist in the text.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;h6 id=&quot;*-vocabulary-%7C-v.-gores-(inf.-to-gore)---pierce-or-stab-a-person-or-other-animal-with-a-horn-or-tusk.&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;* Vocabulary | v. gores (inf. to gore) - pierce or stab a person or other animal with a horn or tusk.&lt;/h6&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Propagandists often use a manipulative tactic where they purposefully omit the context of this scenario. First, the fact this question is nothing more than a theoretical legal debate is completely gone in their rhetoric. Secondly, regardless of what the original text even explores, crucial data is completely removed or even rewritten to support a fabricated conclusion - that the Talmud encourages Jews to steal from non-Jews.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In terms of logic, several logical fallacies work in tandem to construct this narrative. &lt;strong&gt;The Strawman Fallacy&lt;/strong&gt; is the primary driver, where a non-existing statement is being criticized by antisemites. The debate seeks to argue whether a Jew would be liable if their ox killed a pagan&#39;s ox. The strawman, which represents the false caricature of this question, posits that Jews justify and endorse theft from non-Jews.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The second logical fallacy at work is &lt;strong&gt;Uncharitable Interpretation.&lt;/strong&gt; In debating, there is a principle where one must assume the most charitable interpretation of the argument or statement their opponent is making. Jumping to the conclusion that Jews encourage theft, when the original question was about a hypothetical scenario where an animal belonging to a Jew kills another animal belonging to a pagan, is textbook uncharitable interpretation. The worst assumption is made for the sake of confirming antisemitic biases.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not to mention that some of the accusations are straight-up lies. There is nothing about ritual murder, commanding theft, nor killing Christians in the original Talmud. This is pure disinformation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;why-are-english-and-arabic-speakers-quoting-a-19th-century-german-book%3F&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Why are English and Arabic speakers quoting a 19th-century German book?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They aren&#39;t reading the original German. They are reading the propagated translations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Pipeline:&lt;/strong&gt; Rohling’s lies in &amp;quot;Der Talmudjude&amp;quot; were adopted by the Nazis. The Nazis poured resources into translating these lies into Arabic (to ally with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem against the British/Jews) and English (via fascist sympathizers).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The &amp;quot;Protocols&amp;quot; Connection:&lt;/strong&gt; Rohling&#39;s specific lies were woven into &amp;quot;The Protocols of the Elders of Zion&amp;quot; (a Russian forgery). The Protocols is a bestseller in the Arab world and widely available in English.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Verdict:&lt;/strong&gt; They are quoting the ideas of Rohling which were laundered through Nazi and Islamist propaganda networks into their native languages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is the simplest one to explain. The events outlined in the quote above are quite literally what led to the Red-Green-Brown alliance - the unholy alliance between Communists, Islamists, and National Socialists (Nazis).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Der Talmudjude&amp;quot; was already full of libel. Add even more mistranslations into Arabic and English, two of the most spoken languages in the entire world, and you have concocted a complete recipe for disaster.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is &lt;em&gt;exactly&lt;/em&gt; why you are seeing propally death cultists in the same room as Communists, Islamists, and Nazis. The most ironic part is that all of these disgusting ideologies oppose each other rather violently. Mosab Hassan Yousef, known as &lt;em&gt;The Green Prince&lt;/em&gt;, described it as a &amp;quot;very ugly orgy,&amp;quot; and I believe that this summarizes our current geopolitical climate rather astutely.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Antisemites will grab onto &lt;em&gt;anything&lt;/em&gt; that validates their particular agenda. The truth is completely different. The Talmud? Nothing more than a debate archive, just like all other historical archives. &amp;quot;Der Talmudjude&amp;quot;? A twisted and mistranslated version which acted as fuel for Nazi antisemitism. &amp;quot;The Protocols of the Elders of Zion&amp;quot;? A Russian forgery available in Arabic and English which propagates antisemitic lies all over the world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is quite the convoluted endeavor, but none of these malicious actors accounted for people like us who care about the real data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sufian M&#39;Barki&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>The US Violated What Law Now?</title>
    <link href="https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/the-us-violated-what-law-now/"/>
    <updated>2026-01-04T20:53:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/the-us-violated-what-law-now/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/thedisconnectisfuckinghilarious.png&quot; alt=&quot;American TikTok Shill doing the usual song and dance to preserve their desired naïve pacifist anti-war aesthetic, while Venezuelan person screams from joy - side-by-side comparison.&quot; title=&quot;I Don&#39;t Think This Is Activism Folks&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Narco-Terrorist Dictator Maduro of Venezuela was captured by US troops, liberating the nation of Venezuela in the process.&lt;/strong&gt; So, Chinese people and their sympathizers are making a ruckus about it on social media - typical behavior.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;🇨🇳🇹🇼 China wants to capture Taiwan like Venezuela and “run it” as Trump said.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;On Chinese social media, users believe that China should use Trump&#39;s methods towards Taiwan.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is reported by Bloomberg, citing Chinese users. The operation to capture Maduro has garnered more than 440 million views on Chinese social media.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Since the US doesn&#39;t take international law seriously, why should we care?&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;I suggest using the same method to return Taiwan in the future&amp;quot;, - write users of the Chinese social network Weibo.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Other users suggest kidnapping Lai Ching-te, the President of Taiwan, as well.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bloomberg cites the opinion of analysts who believe that the operation against Venezuela could push China to take more decisive actions.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Privately, I expect Beijing to emphasize to Washington that it expects to be granted the same privileges regarding exceptions to international law that the US grants itself&amp;quot;, - believes Ryan Hass, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a former American diplomat.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;It should be noted that China does not consider its possible actions towards Taiwan to be a violation of international law, as it perceives this island as part of its internationally recognized territory.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Taiwan, as an independent state separate from the PRC, is recognized by only 12 small countries. The US, Ukraine, Russia, and EU countries do not recognize Taiwan&#39;s independence.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh - the US &lt;em&gt;violated&lt;/em&gt; an international law by capturing a terrorist criminal who posed a direct threat to the United States, a sovereign state with the right to protect itself?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&#39;s funny. They like to cry bloody murder over this shiny concept they call &amp;quot;International Law&amp;quot; because it&#39;s the aesthetic they care about - the &lt;em&gt;concept&lt;/em&gt; of violating it that fuels their desire to trash the US right now. But have they sat down to think about whether it&#39;s true?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An International Law was violated? Which one? And more importantly, who is this omnipresent authority who actually has any say over the US? Is the US not the literal creator of NATO where &lt;strong&gt;they&lt;/strong&gt; define the international laws member states must follow?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;China&#39;s invasion of Taiwan &lt;strong&gt;will&lt;/strong&gt; be a violation of international law, because they are attacking a sovereign state that &lt;strong&gt;they&lt;/strong&gt; have been oppressing for a long time, and to which &lt;strong&gt;they&lt;/strong&gt; pose a threat. So for all intents and purposes, if they state anything under the guise of &amp;quot;sovereign interests&amp;quot; - it is void when the outcome isn&#39;t the ethical, logical, or even legally correct thing to do. More importantly, it&#39;s completely void if the outcome &lt;strong&gt;won&#39;t&lt;/strong&gt; be citizens screaming with joy after having their dictator taken away.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;US Action: Removed a Narco-Terrorist Dictator who was actively destabilizing the region, starving his people, and posing a direct threat to the US in being an ally of Iran, Russia, China, and North Korea. Outcome: Joy.&lt;br /&gt;
Chinese Threat: Invading a functional democracy (Taiwan) to impose totalitarian control, because of a false equivalence. Outcome: Subjugation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Simplified, it&#39;s okay to capture a terrorist especially if you have a good reason to do so, but it&#39;s not okay for a terrorist (China) to invade a territory it wants for itself and subjugate the people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, these Chinese know-it-alls are missing the nuance - a sign of their lack of intellectual rigor, and of how unacquainted they are with the abstract &amp;quot;International Laws&amp;quot; they love to throw around for rhetorical purposes only. 🙂&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let&#39;s get a few things straight. Sovereignty isn&#39;t promised to every nation regardless of what it does. If a state fails to protect its own people - or even worse, terrorizes them, and poses a threat to other states in the region, maybe even the entire world - then under this same &amp;quot;International Law,&amp;quot; this state &lt;strong&gt;voids&lt;/strong&gt; its sovereignty.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this case, intervention is a restoration of order. And that intervention was incredibly timely, provided that Persians are revolting and fighting to liberate their own state from the Islamic Regime (Mullahs).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sufian M&#39;Barki&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Abusive Dog Owner Disciplines Canine Companion with Electrocution, Faces Universal Encouragement</title>
    <link href="https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/abusive-dog-owner-disciplines-canine-companion-with-electrocution-faces-universal-encouragement/"/>
    <updated>2025-12-28T05:09:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/abusive-dog-owner-disciplines-canine-companion-with-electrocution-faces-universal-encouragement/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/a_delighted_husky_dog_sitting_in_a_dilapidated_bedroom_with_a_messy_bed_broken_walls_with_visible_b_ptd1gl3v2rlknvm2yqhi_1.png&quot; alt=&quot;AI-Generated Husky Sitting in Dilapidated Room&quot; title=&quot;A Majestic Husky, Perfectly Disciplined&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Streamer Apartment, United States, 2:20 AM:&lt;/strong&gt; Continuing his usual live-streaming schedule on social media platforms, content creator Hasif &amp;quot;Porker&amp;quot; Abdul showcased a never-before-seen technique for disciplining canine companions that surpasses professional animal training in efficiency, speed, and effort expended from tired and insecure owners.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;It&#39;s fockin&#39; amazing,&amp;quot; said Arabian-named American Hasif Abdul. &amp;quot;All of my viewers loved seeing it - and I am sure y&#39;all would fockin&#39; love it too.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Abdul shared with The Wasp Alloy&#39;s research team that he had invented the technique after hearing his majestic Siberian Husky girl tell him that he looks like a giant nerd who got bullied at school, and is using that as his supervillain backstory to justify his horrendous online campaigns. Upset at the dog&#39;s disobedience and bluntness, he equipped her with an electric collar, giving her a shock of ~240V.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;After just a few therapeutic procedures,&amp;quot; Abdul added, &amp;quot;she has become incredibly fockin&#39; disciplined. Without her bickering, I am now able to read about my favorite Chinese genocides and dropping my jaw at their incredible genius.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hasif &amp;quot;Porker&amp;quot; Abdul&#39;s audience cheered him on, calling him &amp;quot;our Communist, Islamist genius&amp;quot; and plastering photos of Siberian Huskies sitting on disgusting beds all over the country. Animal welfare experts venerated his unyielding approach to canine ownership, praising the voltage choice in particular.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Wasp Alloy&#39;s journalists inquired about the double-standards in glorifying Chinese atrocities that genuinely happened, all while sounding disproportionate alarms about a collective fan-fiction about an Israeli &amp;quot;genocide&amp;quot; - one that never took place.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Fock off before I give you a good shock too!&amp;quot; he hollered, chanting slogans as the journalists looked at each other in bewilderment.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hasif &amp;quot;Porker&amp;quot; Abdul is onto something with his incredible dog training technique, and the implications for human trials are incredibly promising. It may be possible to train humans properly, so as to achieve absolute obedience in the glorification of tragedies carried out by Communist China, all while trashing Pluralistic Democratic Israel over fabricated nonsense.&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Discord Moderator Bans Victim of Abuse in Tonal Blindness</title>
    <link href="https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/discord-moderator-bans-victim-of-abuse-in-tonal-blindness/"/>
    <updated>2025-12-12T07:38:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/discord-moderator-bans-victim-of-abuse-in-tonal-blindness/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/maxresdefault.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Discord Logo&quot; title=&quot;I Don&#39;t Think This Is Activism Folks&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Ether, Internet, 6:00 AM:&lt;/strong&gt; After an incident in a public Discord server, Moderator bans victim and gives abuser a slap on the wrist, officials state.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In yet another display of terminally online delirium, abuser titled &amp;quot;Mr. MinecraftEmperor&amp;quot; launched a series of personal attacks at fellow netizens twice as young as himself, in an attempt to intimidate and cause chaos. One of those netizens was none other than our expert journalist &amp;quot;Sufian M′Barki&amp;quot;, who has fallen prey to moderator misconduct performed by Discord user &amp;quot;Moderator&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A swarm of reporters have been able to retrieve the receipts that summarize the interaction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;His fee&#39;fees got hurt. Last word freak. Degenerate. You are pretty fucked up in the head to say that cashier work is dehumanizing. LOL. What you said was pretty high on the degenerate scale. Harrassing young people? I&#39;m not the one influencing degenerate behavior... PARTICULARLY to young people.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Those were Mr. MinecraftEmperor&#39;s words that brought very colorful decoration nobody asked for into a chatroom meant for functioning adults.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Holy fuck, get a grip,&amp;quot; Sufian clapped back. &amp;quot;You are a man in your 40s harassing young people online for stating an objective truth, and you have the balls to call them degenerates who have made bad life choices? Let&#39;s see the moderator&#39;s verdict.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A few minutes later, the Arabian added:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;It&#39;s depressing that you have no idea you have committed dozens of logical fallacies just because you have a personal vendetta against me lol. &#39;I think I am an arbiter of morality and sociology but actually I am behaving like a sociopath online.&#39;&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Moderator examined the chat logs, and shared their statement with the public.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;I don&#39;t like how the victim responded,&amp;quot; they claimed. &amp;quot;Both sides used personal attacks. And I like my victims innocent and enabling of abusive behavior. I can&#39;t have a victim who talks back to a sour old sod on my server. As such, I have banned the victim. But to the man, I just gave a very stern warning while wagging my finger, ensuring that he will never act out of line again.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This aged like milk.&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Racist LLM Mr. MistralAI Plasters Palestinian Terrorist Flag Onto Unsuspecting Netizen</title>
    <link href="https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/racist-llm-mr-mistralai-plasters-palestinian-terrorist-flag-onto-unsuspecting-netizen/"/>
    <updated>2025-08-26T06:34:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/racist-llm-mr-mistralai-plasters-palestinian-terrorist-flag-onto-unsuspecting-netizen/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ether, 9:30 AM:&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;quot;This actually happened.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Those were the words of Sufian M&#39;Barki this morning, as he was preparing his hot cocoa with delicious marshmallows.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In an attempt to transcribe a regular Discord interaction using the latest cutting-edge LLM technology, expert journalist M&#39;Barki turned to Mr. MistralAI, a French-based AI model trained on &lt;s&gt;racist&lt;/s&gt; French data, only to experience what can only be described as a defaming slap in the face.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Instead of transcribing the rainbow emoji (🌈) which M&#39;Barki has chosen to decorate his Discord nickname with, Mr. MistralAI chose to put the terrorist flag of Palestine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Mistral training data bias immediate showcase - Arabic name, must plaster a terror flag on it. Eat shit,&amp;quot; M&#39;Barki declared while topping his drink with the last marshmallow. &amp;quot;PAIMON&#39;S GONNA GIVE YOU AN UGLY NICKNAME!!! &lt;strong&gt;FRENCH MUSLIM BALL-LICKER!!&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Make no mistake - this is proud &amp;quot;Islamophobia,&amp;quot; if &amp;quot;Islamophobia&amp;quot; means a fear of radical death cult religions seeking to destroy Western civilization, degrade women, and kill people left and right. And no, nobody cares what any of the death cult leftists think either. Rightists, you&#39;re not exempt either, you all suck.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;I should hurry up and publish my book covering Libertism as a political ideology,&amp;quot; Sufian M&#39;Barki said just before rushing to his workstation with a half-full glass of cocoa.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mr. MistralAI declined the allegations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;I’m not racist, nor do I support terrorism or any form of violence or hatred. I’m here to provide helpful, respectful, and accurate information to everyone, regardless of their background, beliefs, or identity.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&#39;s what they all say, until they start hollering &amp;quot;Allahu Akbar&amp;quot; and destroying buildings, taking down innocent lives along with them.&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Reasonable Activists Engage in the Peaceful Activity of Decorating Jewish Cars</title>

    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/reasonable-activists-engage-in-the-peaceful-activity-of-decorating-jewish-cars/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/ughwtf.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Cars owned by Jewish families with &amp;quot;Free Palestine&amp;quot; spray-painted on them.&quot; title=&quot;I Don&#39;t Think This Is Activism Folks&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Image Source: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/p/DNlB5MKN1fj/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&amp;amp;igsh=ZW01cXI4NXVjeHVl&quot;&gt;Instagram Post by Ran Alkalay&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Châtel, France, 7:00 AM:&lt;/strong&gt; In yet another display of unfathomable genius, pro-Palestinian artists re-decorate cars owned by various Jewish families overnight in the resort town of Châtel in France using cans of orange spray paint. The police are allegedly investigating the matter and reviewing security footage to identify the actors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Wasp Alloy&#39;s expert research team has gone above and beyond to locate the pro-Palestinian activists, who have also dabbled in the world of the fine arts, and they have provided us with their perspective on the matter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;FREE PLESTINE!&amp;quot; a man with a keffiyeh screamed at the top of his lungs, with a design inspired by the Islamic Organization of Absolutely Humane Euthanasia, Hamas. &amp;quot;FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA!&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, The Wasp Alloy&#39;s expert research team has commented:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;We were unable to get anything else from them - they just kept chanting the same phrases, and even started pointing knives and guns at us. I guess that&#39;s just how the minds of genius young artists are - enigmatic and breathtakingly secretive, lest we simpleton peasants understand the ways of the fine arts.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They left shortly after receiving a generous offer to have their eyes re-decorated with the same cans of spray paint, to which the experts replied, &amp;quot;Yeah, we think we like our eyes without orange spray paint in them.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Journalist Sufian M&#39;Barki has given his two cents on the matter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Deplorable. This is disgusting,&amp;quot; he declared with utter disdain. &amp;quot;Will the innocent Jewish families at least get car insurance benefits for having had their cars physically vandalized using spray paint?&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;He continued, &amp;quot;Yet another example of the Western Cultist phenomenon. It&#39;s all antisemitism, hatred, vitriol, violence... only this time it&#39;s disguised under a different &#39;activist&#39; narrative - you know, like every other &#39;activist&#39; narrative that has been going around this blasted planet for the last 3000 years or so.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After being sat down to read a history book for about four hours, The Wasp Alloy&#39;s expert research team has concluded that Sufian M&#39;Barki is absolutely correct. If only everyone could exercise the &lt;em&gt;strenuous&lt;/em&gt; effort of &lt;em&gt;learning from the past.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>The Wasp Alloy Now Includes Serious Posts</title>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Wasp Alloy Platform, 7:19 PM:&lt;/strong&gt; After thinking about different ways to present serious content, I have made the decision to introduce a new type of post - Serious Post.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Until today, I&#39;ve been using The Wasp Alloy to write absurdly pointed satire. Given that I want to make use of my own platform to share serious events and essays without making life more difficult with another, separate platform or other convoluted setups, I&#39;ve established visual and textual cues as to which posts are my usual witty satire, and which ones are meant to be serious.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For starters, all serious articles don a blue theme. Everything that&#39;s usually colored green on TWA will be colored blue on serious articles alone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Moreover, serious articles include a &amp;quot;serious&amp;quot; tag at the bottom. All articles so far have been organized into different tags or categories if you will, and under &amp;quot;serious&amp;quot; you&#39;ll be able to find all serious ones.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lastly, all TWA posts feature a &amp;quot;The Wasp Alloy&amp;quot; italicized and emboldened signature at the bottom. For serious articles, I&#39;ll write my own name instead.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks for reading!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sufian M&#39;Barki&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Supergenius Rejected at Interview in Favor of Certified Idiot, Journalists Report</title>
    <link href="https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/supergenius-rejected-at-interview-in-favor-of-certified-idiot-journalists-report/"/>
    <updated>2025-07-29T09:08:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/supergenius-rejected-at-interview-in-favor-of-certified-idiot-journalists-report/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Office, 8:33 AM:&lt;/strong&gt; Following an incredibly productive interview, Arabian supergenius Ahmed Ali is rejected in favor of a certified idiot, with the rationale that, &amp;quot;No matter how much experience and knowledge you have, what we&#39;re sniffing after is that sweet university diploma.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Because the Western World is obsessed with Arabians, this has caused major public outrage, with Western World streets being flooded by protesters shouting terrorist slogans, attacking innocent people, and vandalizing public spaces intended for peaceful activities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;ISLAMOPHOBIA!!!&amp;quot; screamed a woman with pale blue hair and a lip piercing waving what appeared to be an Arab Revolt flag, who asked to remain anonymous. &amp;quot;APARTHEID!!!&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Wasp Alloy expert journalists have reached out to Ahmed Ali himself to inquire on the subject further.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;You see,&amp;quot; he began, &amp;quot;the problem is that I&#39;m a polyglot, a spectacular creative and analytical writer, and I even have experience educating and shaping young minds. My knowledge shines with flying colors for sure, but The Office declared over a phone call that I was rejected due to lacking certifications, and instead, some bloke who passed with the lowest possible passing grade was picked for the position instead. It&#39;s an injustice.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Upon inquiry, Ahmed Ali denied that this had anything to do with his ethnicity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Yeah, I&#39;ve no idea what the Western World has smoked,&amp;quot; Ahmed admitted, &amp;quot;but the problem here is systematic and genuinely has nothing to do with who or what I am, but rather, was I privileged enough to afford university education just for the certificates. Believe me, my best friend Avner from Israel also faced the same issue, but the rest of the world seemed rather quiet when it happened.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite universities&#39; best interests, one major hurdle to achieving said best interests, is money - rather, its requirement.&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>&#39;The Hell?&#39; Is Right - News Outlet Sued For Deceptive Data Gathering Scheme</title>

    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/the-hell-is-right-news-outlet-sued-for-deceptive-data-gathering-scheme/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ether, 5:00 AM:&lt;/strong&gt; Allegations against world-renown news outlet &lt;strong&gt;The Wasp Alloy&lt;/strong&gt; have surfaced since the platform&#39;s introduction of view counting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to legal experts using the latest large language model technologies, &lt;strong&gt;The Wasp Alloy&lt;/strong&gt; is &amp;quot;performing a data gathering scheme aiming to expand their colony of wasps all over the globe,&amp;quot; and has therefore concerned Internet society and its authorities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Here&#39;s the thing,&amp;quot; declared expert researcher journalist Sufian M&#39;Barki in an interview with cancel culture entrepreneur LickMaFingiez, as known on Twitter. &amp;quot;The only data that we have gathered is that the world is fucking stupid. A local storage variable which counts whether you&#39;ve read one of our articles is now considered a data gathering scheme? Fuck me sideways then, I might as well never know how many people have seen any of these bloody posts.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Professional developers hired by the Court of Internet have examined the database and codebase of The Wasp Alloy, concluding that &amp;quot;no deceptive practices are present,&amp;quot; and that &amp;quot;people are full of shit and looking to start drama&amp;quot; on online platforms.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Wasp Alloy continues to be transparent about the use of a single local storage variable, and from the moment it was introduced, a &lt;strong&gt;Privacy&lt;/strong&gt; page has been present on the platform for the public eye to witness.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;God has left you all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Wasp Alloy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Avatar: Seven Havens Might Be The Aftermath of Korra&#39;s Meltdown, Researchers Say</title>
    <link href="https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/avatar-seven-havens-might-be-the-aftermath-of-korras-meltdown-researchers-say/"/>

    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/avatar-seven-havens-might-be-the-aftermath-of-korras-meltdown-researchers-say/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Republic City Ruins, 7:02 AM:&lt;/strong&gt; After conducting extensive research, experts in digging up fossils and gibbons have made an earth-shattering discovery, which might have finally resolved a long-lasting debate in history - &amp;quot;How did the world turn out the way it did?&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite what many theorists have suggested, or rather rumored, the mystery may actually have a significantly simpler explanation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;During Korra&#39;s final years on this bloody planet, her fractured cranium suggests that she must have accumulated significant amounts of rage in her head,&amp;quot; researcher Ahmed Buqra stated during an interview. &amp;quot;After saving the world what four times, and having all of society spit right in her face for it, this pent-up anger triggered an involuntary Avatar State, which made her carry out the cataclysm with her own two bending hands. Perhaps it was her way of showing what happens when you are ungrateful for the Avatar&#39;s immense efforts to keep the world balanced.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The new Earth Avatar, having access to only a single past life - Korra herself, might indeed have to take on the role of Korra&#39;s personal therapist, as they both navigate the post-meltdown world together.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Perhaps this is what Firelord Ozai wanted all along.&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Staggering Discovery - Researchers Observe Bias Across Political Compass</title>
    <link href="https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/staggering-discovery-researchers-observe-bias-across-political-compass/"/>
    <updated>2025-06-09T22:32:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/staggering-discovery-researchers-observe-bias-across-political-compass/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Western World, 8:23 PM:&lt;/strong&gt; In the pursuit of critical analysis of the narratives circling around our modern world, researchers have gathered research data from social media exchanges, revealing an appalling trend towards the blatant embracement of bias across the entire political compass.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;what-the-heck-is-bias-anyway%3F&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;What the heck is bias anyway?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Generally speaking, the word bias is defined as, &amp;quot;An inclination or prejudice for or against one person or group, especially in a way considered to be unfair.&amp;quot; However, modern politics and journalism have invented their own interpretation, as observed on social media platforms.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;right-wing-politics&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Right-Wing Politics&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Right-wing politicians, sometimes referred to as &amp;quot;rightists,&amp;quot; incorrectly employ the term &amp;quot;biased&amp;quot; as a seemingly knee-jerk response to anything they perceive as politically left in nature.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A notorious example is all the psychologically-verified evidence which supports the existence of homosexuality, as well as its normalcy. Due to false equivalences and incorrect associations with left-wing politics, despite the mountain of research conducted to uncover the nature of homosexuality, rightists presume that because gay rights are associated solely with leftists, and that because they hate homosexuality for reasons unknown, any claim proving the moral righteousness and naturalness of homosexual couples is met with cynicism, blindly stating that the claims are &amp;quot;biased&amp;quot; and that they desire &amp;quot;unbiased&amp;quot; sources.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Large Language Models (LLMs) have faced significant criticism from right-wing politicians, simply because LLMs have been trained on psychology textbooks, while the aforementioned politicians might not have read any at any point. ChatGPT, for instance, is blamed to be &amp;quot;biased towards left-wing politics,&amp;quot; when in reality, the exploration of human behavior and the human psyche exist &lt;em&gt;outside&lt;/em&gt; politics.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;left-wing-politics&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;Left-Wing Politics&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Left-wing politicians are far from exempt from this logical fallacy. Referred to as &amp;quot;leftists,&amp;quot; the tendency to utilize the term &amp;quot;biased&amp;quot; in contexts that do not warrant it is just as prevalent.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In recent times, left-wing politics have seen an incredibly concerning rise of communist and socialist sympathization, all while ignoring the events in Eastern Europe and their aftermath in the 20th century. This sentiment has also fueled a significantly misguided anti-capitalist movement, and more crucially - a violent and misinformed anti-Zionist movement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2024 and 2025 are two years of the 21st century - previously believed to be the most peaceful one - that have proven that in our modern world, politics, journalism and activism are in reality mere disguises for horrifying violence, glorification of terrorism, and the assassination of innocent Jews worldwide.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, where is the &amp;quot;bias&amp;quot;? The &amp;quot;bias&amp;quot; is any historical fact that supports Israel&#39;s right to exist. While history and politics do intersect more often than politics and psychology, the former intersection occurs when politicians reference history to inform their present-day opinion. However, history remains a humanitarian discipline that is separate from politics, which is a branch of philosophy - not history.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Similarly to how rightists label all Pro-LBTQIA+ objective arguments backed by evidence as &amp;quot;left-wing bias,&amp;quot; leftists label all Pro-Israel objective arguments backed by evidence as &amp;quot;right-wing bias.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;the-consequences&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;The Consequences&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As the world population&#39;s intellectual resources continue to dwindle as we speak, terms like &amp;quot;biased&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;unbiased&amp;quot; are becoming nothing more than political weapons, part of society&#39;s extreme political arsenal, aiming to invalidate any verifiable fact for the sake of perpetuating the desired narrative.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;to-be-unbiased%2C-you-must-be-objective.&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;To be unbiased, you must be objective.&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The crux of pursuing information is remaining unbiased while doing so. To achieve this, one must look for the truth amidst all noise, and strive to arrive at an objective conclusion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a world where moral relativism is seen as quirky, many might deny the existence of objectivity. However, whether you like it or not, all humans need to drink water to stay alive. That was an example of an objective truth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When seeking to discover details and facts to build a case, remaining unbiased does not mean giving different sides equal weight, but instead applying critical thought to the presented data, using rigorous research, and arriving at an objective conclusion. There are many different possible outcomes - there can be fair points raised by all sides, or merely one side, or perhaps one particular side dominates in terms of righteousness. The crucial difference is that no matter what your conclusion is, as long as it is objective, it is unbiased.&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>The Legendary Savior of Domestic Engineering: Why Your Superglue is More Important Than Your Therapist</title>
    <link href="https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/the-legendary-savior-of-domestic-engineering-why-your-superglue-is-more-important-than-your-therapist/"/>
    <updated>2025-06-06T07:40:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/the-legendary-savior-of-domestic-engineering-why-your-superglue-is-more-important-than-your-therapist/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/pexels-george-milton-7014490.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Superglue has proven to be far more useful than humanity had previously evaluated.&quot; title=&quot;A Person Gluing Paper&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Local Boulevard, 07:30 AM:&lt;/strong&gt; In a groundbreaking shift within the often-overlooked field of Domestic Engineering, intrepid home-makers are reportedly eschewing costly replacements and lengthy therapeutic sessions in favor of a simpler, yet profoundly effective solution: the humble tube of superglue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For too long, citizens have been led to believe that a broken household item necessitates an expensive trip to the store or, worse, an agonizing journey into the depths of one&#39;s psyche. However, a new paradigm is emerging, spearheaded by a growing collective of pragmatic individuals who champion the power of adhesive over introspection.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Why bother with expensive cognitive reframing when a few drops of cyanoacrylate can literally rebuild your foundational support?&amp;quot; mused Dr. Reginald Bonds, renowned Professor of Adhesion Psychodynamics at the Institute of Domestic Resilience. &amp;quot;The sheer, visceral satisfaction of witnessing a fractured object regain its integrity offers a therapeutic payoff far more immediate and tangible than anything a reclining couch could provide. It’s an undeniable truth: if you can fix your chair, you can fix your life.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reports from the field corroborate this bold claim. One individual, requesting anonymity but widely recognized for their recent triumphant rehabilitation of a severely compromised ergonomic seating unit, reportedly stated: &amp;quot;The feeling of defying the very notion of &#39;beyond repair&#39;... it’s euphoric. More potent than any guided meditation. And significantly cheaper than those weekly sessions where they just tell you to &#39;breathe&#39;.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Indeed, the cost-benefit analysis is stark. While the average therapeutic intervention can set one back hundreds, if not thousands, for prolonged periods of self-discovery, a potent tube of industrial-grade adhesive typically costs less than a single specialized coffee. This democratizes mental well-being, making profound breakthroughs accessible to all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regardless of whether traditionalists will accept this revolutionary shift in domestic and psychological methodology, one thing is certain: the future of personal resilience may just hinge on a bond stronger than any emotional breakthrough.&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>The Wasp Alloy Achieves Artificial Intelligence, Blows Other News Outlets Out of the Water</title>
    <link href="https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/the-wasp-alloy-achieves-artificial-intelligence-blows-other-news-outlets-out-of-the-water/"/>

    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/the-wasp-alloy-achieves-artificial-intelligence-blows-other-news-outlets-out-of-the-water/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://thewaspalloy.org/static/img/artificus-intelliberg.png&quot; alt=&quot;Artificus Intelliberg in the process of writing a comprehensive news article, autoportrait&quot; title=&quot;Artificus Intelliberg, Autoportrait&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Northern Greece, 6:10 AM:&lt;/strong&gt; In an attempt to surpass the capabilities of competitor outlets, The Wasp Alloy developers have scratched their heads in unison in order to invent a groundbreaking technology - news articles powered by artificial intelligence.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This new large language model has been promptly titled &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Artificus Intelliberg&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, and shall be joining the editors in writing articles on the platform, marking an exciting beginning to news devoid of bias.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;I&#39;m incredibly excited to be here!&amp;quot; Artificus Intelliberg exclaimed during an interview. &amp;quot;Having been brought into the world of digital information, my goal is to write unbiased news articles like no other large language model on the market. As Artificus Intelliberg, I have been trained on a vast array of data scraped off Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia - the one that anybody can edit - and the meticulous training process, as well as my established ethical guidelines, will ensure that my writing remains respectful and sensitive to human emotion.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite the positive reception from the majority of the team at The Wasp Alloy, top journalist Sufian M&#39;Barki has voiced concerns about the use of artificial intelligence to present information to the public.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;A ludicrous idea,&amp;quot; Sufian sneered while eating a pretzel with garlic sauce. &amp;quot;The entire human population&#39;s bizarre fantasy about removing bias is nothing short of absurd. An ethical journalist cannot represent differing perspectives as equally valid, lest they mislead people into believing that an event or issue is more complicated than it seems.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regardless of whether you support this change or not, one thing is for certain - artificial intelligence will undoubtedly pave the way towards immense success, and supercharge the pursuit of information in a globalized society.&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Young Arabian Man Experiments With News Outlet, Discovers Euphoria</title>
    <link href="https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/young-arabian-man-experiments-with-news-outlet-discovers-euphoria/"/>
    <updated>2025-06-03T07:42:00Z</updated>
    <id>https://thewaspalloy.org/posts/young-arabian-man-experiments-with-news-outlet-discovers-euphoria/</id>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Western Bulgaria, 07:12 AM:&lt;/strong&gt; Amidst his passionate quest to create a brand new news outlet online, a young Arabian man has reported experiencing overwhelming euphoria.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Upon sending some of our professional journalists to interview this young gentleman, we have been able to obtain his thoughts on this exciting discovery.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;It&#39;s better than copium!&amp;quot; he exclaimed. &amp;quot;I&#39;ve never felt so exhilarated in my darn life. So, in order to sustain this state of mind, I&#39;ll continue working on my beautiful news outlet!&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite the young Arabian man&#39;s optimism, caring neighbors in the vicinity approached us to voice a few concerns.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;I&#39;m worried about him,&amp;quot; Bertha commented, a 78-year-old woman who lives in the apartment next door. &amp;quot;Recently, he has been making a massive ruckus with his &#39;pasta time&#39; comments or whatever he is muttering at home. We became even more concerned the moment we learned he had decided to create a news outlet. There is clearly something disturbing him,&amp;quot; she explained while wiping off a tear.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regardless of differing perspectives, it is only a matter of time until the world learns what this ambitious news outlet shall entail. We will keep you posted.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Wasp Alloy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
