Human Dignity Is BombableThere’s that beautiful, sacred opening of our constitution: "Human dignity shall be inviolable." Believe it if you like. But look closer—what you’ll see is rubble, smoke, corpses. Dignity? Bombable.  Rockets are flying again. Between Israel and Iran, the air sizzles and explodes. In Gaza: burnt children's shoes, shattered classrooms. And the West? The West looks concerned, mumbles something about being "deeply worried," sends weapons but no hope. Diplomacy? That’s for Sunday speeches and talk shows. Want peace? You’re naïve. Want to live? You’re disrupting the geopolitical game. "Israel is doing the dirty work for us." – said CDU party leader Friedrich Merz after Israel reportedly struck Iranian targets. The dirty work. Translation: killing. Bombs dropped on Iranian soil. Lives erased—for "us." What Merz says is nothing less than a cold, cynical applause line from a politician who no longer even pretends to uphold a humanitarian facade. With friends like that, who needs diplomatic principles? And while people die daily in Ukraine—in trenches, in concrete blocks, in blackouts—the self-declared defenders of Western values have long settled into their comfort zones. "There will be peace only when Russia is militarily defeated." – said EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, in essence. And saying that really means: As long as anyone is still breathing, we can keep fighting. Peace talks? That would mean saving lives instead of managing war. That would be almost like... wanting to protect human lives. Like back during the pandemic—remember that? When every single life suddenly became sacred. "Every life counts." – Angela Merkel, 2020. Entire economies were shut down because a single life was worth more than any GDP. We were locked down for months, and heaven help you if you dared to cough. The message was clear: Every life matters. Today? Every life matters—only if it's geopolitically convenient. If your life doesn’t sit on a resource pipeline or inside a treaty clause, you can keep it—or not. Human dignity? Tell that to the children in Rafah. Or the grandmothers in Kharkiv. Or the teenagers in Tehran when the sirens start wailing. And when yet another German minister steps forward—badly fitted suit, heavy rhetoric—and mumbles something about "defending our values" while approving another tank shipment, feel free to smirk. "We have to take responsibility." – Boris Pistorius, announcing more weapons deliveries. Because this constitution has long become a fig leaf for a politics that only cares about human lives when it can score PR points from them. "Human dignity shall be inviolable." – they say, while dismissing civilian casualties as "collateral damage." Your dignity? Your life? Negotiable. Disposable. PR strategy. Human dignity is inviolable—so long as it's politically useful. Otherwise, like so many things, it’s bombable. It’s not the people who want war—it’s the politicians. Those up there, with their speeches about "dignity," "freedom," and "reasons of state," while they order tanks and deliver bombs. The real majority down here? They long for peace, for something that looks like life again—but they let it happen. Day after day, with a shrug of indifference, instead of taking to the streets and protesting.
