Israel has an evil government but their people are so brain washed since birth that they go on with it, they still believe they are the innocent victims of prosecution. I had an Israeli friend who I thought was a left leaning artist, free thinker, but when October 7th happened and I made a comment that sounded to her too pro Palestine, she came at me with such a force, wow, I couldn't believe it. She was defending her country, sending me videos of other Israelis explaining history to us gentiles, justifying their mass murder with "historical " accounts of righteousness.... we can't talk anymore. Even she believes that Palestinians babies are Hamas. She, a singer that travels Europe singing Berio and Stockhausen, she believes that Israel is the victim and Gaza should die.

Avigail Abarbanel, a formerly Israeli psychotherapist now living in Australia, writes a Substack about the three-generation deliberate destruction of the psyches of the Israeli public. Now most Israelis approach Cluster B derangement--psychopathy, sociopathy, borderline, even schizophrenia--operating entirely in their left brains, unable to process analogy or experience empathy, manipulative, dishonest, grasping, garrulous, delusional. Even Israeli therapists recently released a statement that at least 1/3 of the Israeli public is seriously mentally ill. https://avigail.substack.com/p/shooting-first-crying-later?publication_id=749647&post_id=161160611&isFreemail=true&r=1cce6&triedRedirect=true We are finding out that Israel not only protects pedophiles from prosecution, but has a serious criminal problem with the rape not only of Palestinians, but also young Israeli girls are being preyed upon by rape gangs in the name of religion. https://beeley.substack.com/p/israel-girls-raped-in-ritual-ceremonies This state of affairs is the downstream effect of a poisonous ideology, Zionism, that deliberately rejected the traditions of Judaism--non-violence, human brotherhood, anti-colonialism--in favor of constant aggression, racism, exceptionalism, and ethnic cleansing. They regarded Judaism as "weak," and saw themselves as "new Jews," militaristic, strong, violent, looking down on others, which eventually was toxic not only for Palestinians, but also for the more vulnerable in their own culture.
