A 20th/ 21st Century Political Paradigm Shift?

The Sentry's Challenge: "Halt! Who goes there? Friend, Foe, or Subversive Globalist Cockroach?

from the Notes of Byung-Chul Han's "Burnout Society"

1. An interesting, reciprocal relationship holds between social and biological discourses. The sciences are not free of nonscientific dispositives. Accordingly, a paradigm shift occurred within medical immunology at the end of the Cold War. In America, Polly Matzinger discarded the immunological model of preceding decades. According to her model, the immune system does not distinguish between “self” and “non-self,” i.e., domestic and foreign, but between “friendly” and “dangerous.” See Polly Matzinger, “Friendly and Dangerous Signals: Is the Tissue in Control?” Nature Immunology 8.1 (2007): 11–13. The object of immune defense is no longer foreignness or Otherness as such. Only foreign intruders that act destructively in inner, domestic space are combated. So long as what is foreign does not attract unwelcome attention, immune defenses ignore it. It follows that the biological immune system is more hospitable than previously assumed. That is, it does not harbor xenophobia. As such, it proves more intelligent than human societies. Xenophobia is a pathologically escalated immunoreaction that proves damaging to one’s own development [die Entwicklung des Eigenen].

Now, apply the lesson to the Hamas/ Israel problem???
