Suicidal Empathy and Cultural Peril
In Tel Aviv's vibrant salon light, a scholar speaks of suicidal might, Where empathy unbound becomes the blade that fells the West in shadowed glade. From Lebanon's lost Jewish kin, to woke tides that drown the free within, He warns of kindness turned to vice, that feeds the foe at freedom's price. No more the Paris of the East, where hatred laughed at childhood's feast, But now the West repeats the sin, letting parasites beneath the skin. Awake, lest suicidal grace erase the lines that guard our race.
- Death of the West by Suicidal Empathy - My Talk @ Tel Aviv International Salon (THE SAAD TRUTH_1984): Gaza-born professor Gad Saad recounts his Lebanese Jewish childhood amid rampant antisemitism and unveils "suicidal empathy" as the West's self-destructive flaw.

ICE Agents are trying to arrest and deport criminals, many of whom are dangerous and all of whom have broken the law, and they doing so against the tide of local law enforcement that not only refuses to cooperate but exacerbates the risk of violence. That you could equalize these two cases just shows that you have no moral compass and no credibility on this issue.\n\nI should add that Nazis slaughtered Jews in the most cruel ways, ripping children from parents and parents from children. You callously compare that to two unfortunate killings which, no matter how the facts ultimately emerge, cannot possibly be compared with Nazi atrocities.\n\nShame on you.

Your task is to produce a high-quality curated post using advanced grouping techniques:
- Employ sophisticated thematic analysis: detect latent connections, narrative arcs, opposing viewpoints, chronological progressions, intersections with current events, and deeper conceptual clusters.
- Create 3–7 meaningful, tightly coherent groups (avoid superficial or forced groupings; prefer fewer strong clusters over many weak ones).
- Choose precise, evocative topic names.
For each group:
- Start with "## Topic Name"
- Follow immediately with a classical rhymed and metrical poem (e.g., Shakespearean sonnet, Petrarchan sonnet, limerick sequence, heroic couplets, or similar form) that serves as an engaging, insightful preamble capturing the theme, context, and why it matters now. Present the entire poem in italicized Markdown by wrapping the whole poem block in a single pair of * (one * at the very start, one * at the very end).
- Then list the relevant bookmarks as bullet points:
- **[og_title](url)**: One sharp, engaging sentence description (hooky, informative, and additive; refine og_description or write your own if better).
- If og_image is a valid http/https URL, place the following immediately on the next line (no blank line):

Any true singletons go in a final "### Miscellaneous" section with the same format.
Output EXACTLY the complete clean markdown body for the blog post (starting with the first ## header; no extra text, no introductions, no closing remarks, no separators).
