To those self-interested people who are relatives of the donkey, whom we know as friends...

Because most of the time it is not about justice, it is about self-interest.

That's the story!

A man buys a donkey from a neighboring village. He gets on the donkey's back and sets off on the road to his village...
On the way, he meets a man from that village with whom he had a previous enmity. The antagonist finds an excuse, gathers his friends to beat him up and they go after him.
Then they come to the stream. The donkey is stubborn and will not cross the water. The man, on the donkey's back, with a stick in his hand, tries to lead the donkey across the stream.
Full opportunity!
“You are tormenting the donkey!” they all attack him together.
They take him off the donkey and throw him into the stream.
Play, God, play!
They beat the shit out of him.
He goes to court.

The judge asks:
“Tell me what happened.”

The man begins to explain:
“Your honor, excuse me, I needed a donkey. I heard that there was a donkey for sale in a neighboring village. I went, I bargained, I bought the donkey from the owner. I got on, I set off. When I came to the creek, the donkey was stubborn and wouldn't cross the water. So I touched the donkey lightly with the stick in my hand. Then I don't know what happened... The next thing I knew, I found myself in the stream. I have no bones left unbroken.”

The judge asks:
“So why did you hit the donkey?”

The man answers:
“Your Honor... How was I to know that the entire neighboring village was related to the donkey!”

The situation is not much different today.
If someone comes out and talks about a solution to the issue of stray dogs that kill 25-30 people every year and injure dozens of people every day...
Suddenly there is a commotion.
From the streets to social media...
From newspapers to television.
It's not enough!
Artists, academics, politicians, parliamentary benches...
It turns out there are so many “relatives”!
But somehow it is not possible to see the same sensitivity when the issue is really human life, when there is persecution in other countries.
Two words should also be said to those who remain silent today for the sake of their interests.
On the X platform owned by Elon Musk, while the atrocities in Iran are ignored, the visibility of posts about Iran is reduced, while the narratives of Israel and the US are polished...
On top of the fact that the Jeffrey Epstein files, which have been talked about for years, are still in the dark...

They all remind us of the same story.
Because most of the time it is not about justice.
Most of the time it is not about principle.
Most of the time there is trouble.
And when it comes to interests...
Suddenly you see how many “relatives” of that donkey have appeared.

Note: The “donkey” is purely symbolic here. We are against cruelty to animals.
