Beware Stockholm and hold the henchmen accountable!
Stockholm syndrome is a psychological condition in which the victim identifies with and sympathizes with the perpetrator rather than hating them and seeking to deter them. It has been said that this sympathy stems partly from the victim’s gratitude toward the perpetrator for not killing or harming them, whether the victims are individuals, peoples, or nations, as occurred in Europe and France during the Nazi army’s occupation, when many sympathized with and collaborated with the occupiers, only to be harshly held accountable later as traitors to their homeland. The truth is that there is no rational or logical reason for sane and honorable people to sympathize with those who beat them, harm them, or violate their homeland.

For the record... symptoms of Stockholm syndrome have repeatedly appeared among our peoples and nations throughout our modern history. Otherwise, how do we explain the loyalty of some in the Gulf to oppressive and transgressive leaders who harbor intense hatred and malice toward them, such as Nasser, Saddam, and the leaders of Islamist political parties across the entire spectrum, including the poisonous snake Khalil al-Hayya. Similarly, there are mercenary and resentful revolutionary leaders like Arafat, Abu Jihad, Habash, and others who trade on their people’s causes and blood. The list extends to our present days, and it is no secret in Kuwait and the Gulf that some individuals’ loyalty is not to their country but to its enemies and those who violate it, despite their knowledge that the countries and parties they support at the expense of their generous homeland do not enter a populated land without destroying it and turning its soil into rivers of blood. Yet, this pathological admiration persists, in accordance with Stockholm syndrome...

The final station:
1. Apart from the moral and pathological deviation known as Stockholm syndrome, along with genetic stupidity and weak national loyalty that allows fools to live in comfort, prosperity, and blessing under humane and compassionate regimes—such as our Gulf regimes that have transformed our deserts into paradises that people around the world dream of inhabiting—these fools and the deluded direct their loyalty toward genocidal states, regimes, and parties. Some of these have the letter “D” preceding their name, which proves that ignorance also holds a doctorate...
2. There are also those worse than these, despite their extreme wickedness: we refer to those who know the truth from falsehood and are aware, for example, of the grave error committed by Hamas on October 7, 2023, which resulted in hundreds of thousands of casualties and millions of displaced persons, with no benefit whatsoever to the Palestinian cause. Yet they continue to deceive the naive and gullible, marketing humiliating defeats as dazzling victories, all for the sake of illicit money that goes into their pockets, which resemble currency exchange shops due to the variety of currencies placed within them. This despicable type, ungrateful for what can metaphorically be called their Gulf homeland, is beyond redemption. The heedless may awaken, and the patient with Stockholm syndrome may recover, but traitors to their homelands and mercenaries have no cure except exposure, accountability, and confiscation of what they worshipped besides God and what they sold their honor and homeland for—namely, the illicit money they placed upon their heads, which brought them down to... the lowest of the low!
