Khaberni - Zuhair Abdullah Al-Sharman writes
"If my condemnation comes from an inadequate person, it is a testament to my perfection"
We are not angry about what "the so-called Faleh Hassoun Al-Daraji" wrote because anger assumes an equal opponent, while what reached us doesn't surpass being a confused text with limited horizon that insinuates more than it says and exposes its author before it offends others. Insults out of spite harm no one but the person who utters them, and hatred falsely attributed to a whole nation turns into a personal indictment of its author, not the country he aimed to undermine.
What was written is not an opinion, analysis, or a professional critique in the sports sense, but rather a poor linguistic outburst, mixing failure with gloating, incapacity with slander, and trying to compensate for loss with psychological projections onto an entire people. When one fails to defeat their opponent in the field and suddenly discovers a talent for moral assassination with words, and when one fails to respect themselves, they resort to despising others as a temporary means to feel an illusory value. Jordan, vainly described as a barren desert, is the country that remained standing when capitals fell, opened its doors to refugees when the world closed them, and built its state on its people, not on oil or spoils. Jordan did not beg but stood firm and paid dearly for its dignity — these are documented facts not refuted by an emotional sentence written by someone who decided to encompass an entire nation within his narrow standards and impoverished logic.
And those who measure a nation's value by the number of oil wells are inadvertently providing a precise definition of their intellectual problem since value to them is material, not moral, dignity is a number, not a stance, and history is a running account with no meaning. It's a standard that does not condemn nations as much as it reveals the emptiness of those who use it. Then, what professional and ethical downfall this is when nations are collectively insulted and God's name is invoked inappropriately to serve as a false witness — God forbid the majesty of His glory — and religion is used as a justification for hatred as if the heavens are required to endorse a text that has nothing else to support it.
The worst part of this text is not the offense to Jordan but the offense to the Iraqi intellect itself, when an ancient people with a deep history and civilization are epitomized in the tone of one writer who decided, without mandate or eligibility, to speak on behalf of millions. Iraqis are bigger than this text, more honorable than this language, and deeper than this decline — a truth that does not need defending. As for the Jordanians, they do not need to defend a homeland whose history is known, whose people are known, and whose positions are recognized. It suffices to leave this text to be later read as an educational example of how words, when written irresponsibly, can transform into a testament to their author rather than a stance to be credited to him.
Congratulations to Jordan for its dignity and resilience
and congratulations to the Iraqis for not being measured by what was unjustly written in their name, and congratulations to all who realize that nations cannot be defeated by losing a match, nor insulted by an inadequate pen.
