The Holy Land is sadly back in fashion due to violence. It is trending on all social networks. The trending topic of terror and barbarism in all its forms predominates. The 21st century is synonymous with the most primitive medievalism mixed with the most modern, from decapitating babies with a machete to pressing the joystick button for a drone to launch a missile over a building that reduces the dreams of other boys and girls to rubble. From the kibbutz tragedy to the destruction of Gaza neighborhoods. But this conflict is not only fought in Israel and Palestine. "Indeterminate beings" are everywhere.
In France we have seen this week how airports were closed due to "threats of an attack." And we live in the era of the story, even more so, of the metaverse multi-story. It matters more than ever what is explained, who explains it, how it is explained and what we believe, who we believe it and how we believe it. Proof of this is the exchange of accusations between Israel and Palestine after the bombing of a hospital in Gaza about who fired the missile and who did not. Some say it was the Islamic Jihad and others say the Israelis. The great certainty is the dead. The struggle to control speech is more pronounced than ever between social networks and traditional media outlets, from X, TikTok and Telegram to the usual newspapers, which are trying to adapt to this media battle as best they can. And the "indeterminate beings" take advantage of this in one way or another to try to impose their voice, which incites us to scream. Noise and more noise around us.
In times where the greatest knowledge of the history of Humanity prevails, the dictatorship of these "indeterminate beings" is increasingly strengthened, sometimes stealthily and other times openly. They are those who do not know limits because they do not have them, since they are entities covered in flesh, skin and bones, but who have stopped being human. They have no other purpose or objective than to cause harm, to satisfy their hunger for evil, even if they want to give it a veneer of false religion and shout that their god, whoever it may be, is great, very great (or, rather, greater than the god of the neighbor).
We could classify these "indeterminate beings" as extraterrestrials if it were not for the fact that they were born on Earth, since once, at some point in their existence, they were indeed human. They had a father and a mother, perhaps brothers and sisters, grandfathers and grandmothers, uncles and aunts, a family with a face, with a face, with smiles, with tears, but, at the end of the day, a family that radiated humanity in some of it. its forms, with its joys and its sorrows. But they are no longer. They are not human and will never be human again. Never.
There are those who call them "murderers", "terrorists", "barbarians", because we always have to look for a reference in the language to process everything that surrounds us, to identify it, to catalog it, to try to understand it. But, that is one of the traps of this 21st century, when you give a name to evil, you humanize it, and you cannot humanize "indeterminate beings", because, if not, they will destroy all those who still feel ( we feel) human.
One of the clearest examples that the black history of Humanity gave us about the spread of these entities was Nazism. "Nazis", another word that tried to explain the inexplicable. The world saw in the first half of the 20th century how a few "indeterminate beings" in Germany grew more and more in number until they dragged large crowds of human beings to commit great crimes, not only the Holocaust, but other bestialities that They remember how close the "human" is to losing this condition and becoming an indefinite, "indeterminate" entity.
From the West, labels are put on terror, be it "Al Qaeda", "ISIS" or "Hamas" (a new one will surely come out tomorrow) in this 21st century of veils and sails, where the dictatorship of "indeterminate beings" It blinds us like never before. Veils to oppress; candles to pray. Veils to cover our eyes and look the other way; candles to light the fire of slaughter and revenge.
All of this is magnified by this digital age in which the multiplier effect of social networks recruits "indeterminate beings" at an exponential rate. How can we explain that someone gives a "like" (thousands and thousands of "likes") to images of a trampled corpse or to the rape of a girl who has just been kidnapped? You cannot put a name to it, only understand its dehumanizing effect.
We are so exposed, now from a very young age, to all this bombardment of images of hyper-realistic evil that there is a danger that they will become so normalized that the whole of Humanity loses any minimal capacity to feel sorry for the suffering of others. Every feeling of compassion, empathy, sorrow, solidarity... any trace that can make us human is becoming increasingly trapped, prisoner, before the dictatorship of "indeterminate beings." And let no one be fooled, there are more of them every day. And his thirst for blood is accentuated. It will be increasingly difficult to prevent them from imposing themselves, as if we were witnessing the invasion of the ultracorps. It is not the first time it has happened, nor will it be the last, but, in this 21st century, everything happens faster and multiplies at a greater speed.
Veils and candles become symbols (and weapons) of "indeterminate beings" when they are used to chain individual and collective freedoms. If a woman wears a veil out of tradition, culture or conviction, it is not the same as wearing it out of obligation to avoid going to jail or to avoid being killed. The Afghanistan of the Taliban or the Iran of the Ayatollahs, which supports Hamas, are the clearest examples today of how a dictatorship of "indeterminate beings" is imposed on the weakest.
The first case of veiling for women is documented in an Assyrian legal text from the 13th century BC. C., when only nobles used it and prostitutes and commoners were prohibited. If we look at the statues of Persepolis we will see that they represent women covered with veils. But, also in Europe this garment has been widely used for many centuries, for example, by Anglo-Saxon noblewomen. In Christianity, women were traditionally commanded to cover their heads in church. Therefore, the veil and the sail have followed parallel paths to the present day, but the line is marked by imposition or choice. The first belongs to "indeterminate beings"; the second, to humans.
The most effective way to fight the dictatorships of "indeterminate beings" is for humans to rebel against them. It is the population of Gaza who has to put an end to Hamas if they really want to prosper while respecting their culture without impositions or terror. In the same way, it is the Israelis themselves who must end their dictatorship of "indeterminate beings" dressed in orthodox ultranationalists. Although, sometimes, as happened with the Nazis in World War II, they cannot do it alone, as we have seen with the women's struggle in Iran, but it is a necessary condition.
Today is like a tsunami that takes everything away. The outbreak in Gaza has been so shocking that it seems as if no one remembers Putin or the war in Ukraine. Medieval morbidity is like that. Nowadays, the hashtag that "indeterminate beings" want to impose on us prevails. There is no escape. This century is the one of veils and candles.
