Opinion | When ISIS met the "Punisher" | Israel today

2022-04-07T06:38:57.526Z


"The Punisher", whose character was presented by the terrorists in Hadera, differs from the rest of his colleagues in the profession in the lack of interest he shows when it comes to the pursuit of justice.


The hand that pulls the trigger is never the whole story.

The washed mind is several times more interesting than her.

For years we have been trying to get to the roots of the jealous ideology leading a human being to take to the streets of a city and spray mostly everywhere, to understand the legitimacy given to it to take care of the lives of others.

A surprising icon on the killer vest in Hadera presented us, a week ago, with a new conceptual element in the forceful mishnah.

We first became acquainted with religious fundamentalism in the Marvel and Netflix tradition.

The choice of the pair of killers to equip themselves not only with a variety of weapons, but also with a vest decorated with a skull symbol that originated in American comic books, teaches quite a bit about their cultural world.

The decision to put on their bodies in clothing associated with the "Punisher", a more popular figure in cinemas and less in mosques, reveals that they are not only a product of extremist Muslim education, but also devout consumers of cheap Western TV and literature.


Inspired by the terrorists, he was born in 1974 and Jerry Conway, one of the few illustrators who did not grow up in a Jewish home, is responsible for his illustrious and bloody plots.

In the Marvel comics universe, the anomaly of "The Punisher" stood out.

Unlike most superheroes, he has no miraculous powers.

It was not a spider bite or a miraculous serum that made him a hero, but his traumatic military past.

The "punisher" also differs from the rest of his peers in the lack of interest he shows when it comes to the pursuit of justice.

It is not the correction of the world that interests him, but revenge for a personal injustice, which he seeks to repay while causing an incessant series of new bleeding injustices.

Violence for him is a way of life.

The skull symbol fits him like a coat for the back.

His violent and mute character has been revived courtesy of Netflix.

The short-lived TV series dedicated to his dubious deeds did not leave a significant impression on fans of the genre, and in their absence, found itself a new target audience.

The skull logo was adopted by American soldiers in Iraq, and from there it also rolled into our borders and the uniforms of local bloodthirsty people.

One can guess what they find in it: like them, it is a lone wolf that lives on the fringes of society.

Like him, bloodshed gives meaning to their lives.

Both the "punisher" and the terrorists from Umm al-Fahm try to provoke fear, using visual means.

The admiration aroused in them by the television violence they are trying to recreate on the streets of Israel;

They are trying to push the reluctance of ISIS-style execution videos into the Hebrew newscasts.

The thousand words necessary for any complex ideology, the current wave of terrorism seeks to convert into one simplistic image.

Like the poorly remembered dictators and propagandists of the 20th century, its organizers know that mesmerizing cruelty is hard to take your eyes off.

The mental rattle that guides them seeks to produce a triumphant image that will freeze the blood of potential spectators.

Precisely because of this we must not get excited.

Violent images produce momentary reluctance, but they lack any depth.

In view of the visual impact that death models seek to produce, we must place the verbal, complex, value-based and timeless story we tell ourselves and our environment.

With the book not afraid of short comic books.

We passed Pharaoh, we will pass that too.

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
