WE WILL NOT BE BULLIED!!

Years ago I took a class at JCC which included a DVD called Faces of the Enemy..... it took this long but today I ordered the book and DVD as I know it will give me some explanations as to WHY.... why is this happening now ....AGAIN! The book was written in 1987.... it referenced WW II..... but is so true today! History repeating itself because we didn't learn the lesson the first.... second... 20th time? I will give you a taste of what it is about: "Here is what one critic ...has said about the book Faces of the Enemy: From September University, April 8, 2011. The film Faces of the Enemy that follows social psychologist Sam Keen as he unmasks how individuals and nations dehumanize their enemies to justify the inhumanity of war is as relevant today as when it was first released. Using archival news footage, public service announcements, and editorial cartoons, Keen unveils the same frightening pattern in conflict after conflict World War II, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, Islamic and Christian Fundamentalism and prefigures the current War on Terrorism. First we identify ourselves as victims. Then we blame, demonize and finally dehumanize our adversaries, rationalizing our murder of other human beings. Faces of the Enemy contends that before a drop of blood is spilled we must ‘think each other to death.’ It is a story replayed on the nightly news, in Islamic Fundamentalists’ characterization of the West as the ‘Great Satan’ and our own stereotyping of Muslims as terrorists. In a revealing examination of the images and iconography of war Keen interviews the nation’s leading editorial cartoonists. They discuss how they use an almost universal language of stereotypes and prejudices to tap into readers’ most visceral emotions." SOUND FAMILIAR? "Psychologists Robert Lifton and Steven Kull explain how war and artificial enemies provide people with the moral and mental certainties they crave, giving them a sense of purpose in a sometimes-ambiguous world. Mythologist Joseph Campbell, providing a note of hope, suggests that underneath the mask of the enemy we ultimately recognize ourselves. This, Campbell further contends, may be the origin of compassion, brotherhood and altruism, in other words the inverse of war."
