In the wake of the Hamas massacre of civilians on the Israeli
territory on October 7, I had planned to write an article on the
concepts of terrorist crimes, crimes against humanity and war
crimes. A way of putting on my wig and gown against the
abominations committed by Hamas.
But words cannot express the horrors that the world inflicts
upon us month after month. There is no longer any question of a
hierarchy of crimes against mankind, which ideologues and false
prophets justify by invoking, according to the tropisms of their
formatted thinking, nostalgia for a fantasized empire, misguided
religious rigorism or antagonistic visions of history. For them,
not all lives have the same value, even the life of a child.
