The most disturbing feature of the remark describing October 7 as “exhilarating” is that it shows that torture and murder are experienced as energising. When the torture and death of civilians become a source of animation then it shows that with this cause the distinction between political commitment and murderous spectacle has collapsed. The same tone appears in slogans like the Dyke March placard saying “Zio tears replenish my electrolytes,” where the killing and torture of others is openly described as sustaining and revitalising. When a movement repeatedly produces language like this, the question is: if atrocities against civilians animates its supporters, what does that reveal about the cause itself?
