Also Palestinian kamikazes of the Arab-Israeli conflict seem quite suitable to suicide culture[1], but they have nothing to do with depression[2] genes of a single subject.
In this case we are facing a problem of overpopulation-overcrowding, caused artfully by man for politico-historical reasons. Two very different populations are forced to share a narrow space. What’s more there is a difference among the two because one of them is in a continuous economic growth, the other, economically depressed [3], lives on financial remittances of the Arab neighbouring countries. The conflict is inevitable, but what concerns our thesis is the novelty in the use of suicide as a war strategy.
If we can speak of depression, in this case it’s a depression concerning a whole people and it would be also interesting to state whether this depression, so as for overcrowding, may be somehow wanted.
With regard to the subsidy the suicide’s family gets[4],[5] and allows the members left to survive, the story of kamikazes comes also into the question of the use of children as a product and we will deal with it in the relative chapter[6].
[1]Let’s see the videos aspiring suicides recorded before the attempts, the souvenir photos with a machine-gun on their shoulder and a bandana on their forehead,the demonstrations with kamikazes stuffed with TNT and all dressed in the same way( very similar to the religious uniforms of some western sects whose stories ended with mass suicides).
[2] But“If we have a look at kamikazes’ private life there may be some surprises. A lot of them strictly interpreted religion and fulfilled all duties:a prayer life interrupted by little pastimes.Fadi Amer bred rabbits on a roof. Wafa Idris loved little birds, Darenen Abu Aisheh was fond of Socrates,Saed Hotary liked poems and would draw flowers”(Corriere della Sera of Friday 29th March 2002).
[3] Most kamikazes were single and unemployed: the only three exceptions were fathers with many children or more wives.
[4] 25,000 dollars promised for every shahid,that is a (suicide) martyr from Saddam Hussein ‘s Iraq (Corriere della Sera of Friday 29th March 2002).
[5] Referring to the only three exceptions of kamikazes who were fathers and their sacrifice to support their own family, I remember a very old television film by Hitchcock. A very poor family with many children lives in a Mexican village. The sick father, at the point of death, promised his wife that afterlife he will support her and his children. The poor man is buried in the very little graveyard of the village, but shortly after the guardian of the graveyard, since the wife couldn’t pay the burial tax, decides to exhume the corpse and throw it into the mass grave. In the depths of despair the poor woman is present at the opening of the coffin but to her great surprise she finds a body that is quite intact and mummified. Then the woman realizes what her husband, on the point of dying, had wanted to tell her. She carries the corpse home and every day she receives a lot of visitors and charges them with a small offering with which she can survive together with her children: the poor man, afterlife, had really kept his promise.
1. History: the origin of extended suicide dates back to the mists of time and fades away into Till now nobody has known what had happened to the legendary king of the Sumarians, the protagonist of the “poem of Gilgamesh”. The recent study on some clay tablets, at cuneiform characters, has explained the mystery.
The king of Uruk, having known in a dream he would never get the secret of immortality, had a stone tomb with a gold roof been built on the bed of the river Eufrate whose waters had been diverted for the occasion.
On the inauguration day, after entering the tomb with his family and the whole court, he ordered to open up the course of the river again. The Eufrate flooded the mausoleum and the king together with all the others was buried alive.
2. Science philosophy: even a single cell may commit suicide.
Cell suicide, so as Jean Claude Ameisen of Paris University maintained, aims at the forming of the organs in a faetus thanks to the elimination of some just formed cells. This way the differentiation of staminal cells (undifferentiated ) is carried out and their migration with the result of the organ formation. Therefore the phenomenon isn’t predestinated in DNA, but totally accidental because only a part of a group of cells, all of them with identical chromosomes, commits suicide.
Inside the molecular inheritance of a cell there are executorial proteins starting up the process of self-destruction and they are helped by others carrying out the task.
In contrast with the executorial proteins there are others preventing cell suicide.
It’s interesting, for our theses, to notice there can be two opposite alterations in the balance between survival and self-destruction.
There is a mass suicide of all cerebral cells in Parkinson’s disease, in cancer a certain group of cells, after annulling self-destruction mechanism, becomes immortal and proliferates at the expense of other groups of cells which are part of the organism[1] giving them hospitality.
The result, in both cases, is eventually the same: the death of the host organism.
