This is so strange. How can people have so little empathy for the lives of innocent people?

Israeli citizens are subjected to daily propaganda (e.g. "there are no civilians in Gaza", "Hamas is ISIS", "Hamas wants to murder all jews", etc.) to legitimize their fascistic policies.

There are a lot of parallels to the US short/y after 9/11.

Same textbooks are being referenced.

"Closest, special" ally and all that jazz.

Religion

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

It's part of Israel's propaganda to make this about religion to invoke irrational "War on Terror" sentiments in people who haven't looked into it that deeply.

In reality, they're dehumanizing and targeting all Palestinian Arabs, including Christians. Hence the shooting up and bombing of churches along with everything else.

Some of them are Kahanists but I don't think religion figures into their motives as a wider group except for scapegoating purposes.

You just need to convince people that the "innocent people" are not people

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

They convince themselves.

I don't think the Israeli consented to being brainwashed by Hasbara.

Well to quote the Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, “We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly.”

They think Palestinians are subhuman. Israel has become the evil it once fled.

It amazes me officials can speak like this, yet there are also the widespread reports of organ theft (esp. skin and corneas removed from bodies). Even some reports of blond babies being kidnapped from their families because they're assumed not to be Arab. Where is the cognitive dissonance?

A lot of people's hearts are too full of hatred to hold anything else.

Hatred : Heart :: White Bread : Stomach

5% of the population is psychopathic. Folks forget this stat. They also forget that moral competence exists on a spectrum, so that even regular people are capable of great evil, especially in service to their religion.

Maybe they should have a number tatooed on their arms to remind them?
