    In another scene of violence caught on camera, a soldier kicks a blindfolded Palestinian man in the stomach, then spits on him and insults him in Arabic.

    In one instance, a religious Jewish reserve soldier hugs a blindfolded, handcuffed Palestinian on the shoulders, and dances with him in circles while he plays religious music on his phone. He asks him, “Why don’t you dance” as the blindfolded man loses his balance.

    These are the good guys. You know, the ones that don’t want violence and only want to be safe from external threats.

        Yep. It’s just about finding someone and hurting them because you’re afraid and angry.

          Where does that over-stated theory that hatred and violence are rooted in fear even come from? I hear it every time violent incidents happen, but I have yet to see any evidence that you need to fear something in order to hate it.

            Sometimes they are (if you had a cat or a dog, you know), though definitely not always, but it’s also the opposite order - first people feel impunity and do bad things to others, and then they fear justice and hate the victim because of that fear.

            Israel needs therapy.

            With everything that’s been happening in the world as of late, we all need therapy.
