"The culture in the military, when it comes to Palestinians, is that they are only targets. They are not human beings. This is how the military teaches you to behave."

You would think jewish people, if anyone, would understand the problems that come with the dehumanization of a people.

The abused have become abusers.

Also known as "a cycle of violence". Or " hurt people, hurt people" But at what stage is it someone's responsibility to break this most vicious of cycles?

Tbf none of these mfers are hurt. They're just in power. Historically those in power abuse those who have no power

Jews faired quite well under most Muslim governments in the Middle East, North Africa and during the Mauritanian rule in Spain. Meanwhile the Christians loved to slaughter them.

I was referring to their power base. If there was no cultural pain there, there would be nothing to exploit to remain in power so that they an perpetrate this atrocity.

I'm not sure that's accurate, otherwise we wouldn't be where we are today. I'm sure there's plenty of hate brewed up in them, and hate is a lot like swallowing poison and expecting another person to die.

I'm not trying to justify anything, I'm merely pointing out that hate doesn't just spring from nowhere. You have to suffer to hate, even if that suffering is marginal compared to others.

I think all beings suffer technically.

That said no you don't need to suffer to know hate honestly it is easier to hate without suffering, those who suffer have empathy. Kindest people you'll meet will have difficult lives. The losers, dregs, outcasts and hurt ones. Most assholes I know are privileged and comfortable.

Israel has been quiet comfortable and very privileged.
