Some people grow up learning basic moralities. I think its just that there is not much exposure with this kind of topic especially when at such a young age.

Either you support Israel or Palestine. There is no need for all this talk when it's clear what the problem is.

It doesn't sound like she's speaking from her heart but rather from her anger. The vocabulary she uses is sometimes insulting and downright offensive. Thu, 07 Dec 2023 20:52:00 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360697?scroll_to=3202867 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360697?scroll_to=3202867 I agree with what she said about the attack of Israel being bad but I do not support her use of speech. She puts a vulgar nickname on the people calling them "Islamic Nazis" which I don't really believe in.

This is the question you're pondering, and it's a powerful one that delves into the cycle of violence and the psychological impact of trauma. Firstly, it's important to acknowledge the gravity of the experiences that Jewish people endured during the Holocaust. Such profound suffering could arguably create a psychological defense mechanism. Could it be possible that some of the violent actions you learned about from the documentary might stem from a deep-seated fear of further persecution, driving a need for aggressive self-defense? Or perhaps there's a psychological pattern of traumatized individuals or groups sometimes perpetuating violence—a concept worth exploring as you return to the text. As you consider the documentary’s account and Ilan Pappe's findings, it might be beneficial to reexamine the text to see if there are explicit references or hints at these traumatic historical influences impacting behavior. It’s clear that history doesn't excuse the present, but it can inform it. What echoes of past fears and traumas can you identify in the actions of the Israeli people that you learned about from Pappe? This reflection involves more than just historical events; it's tied to the psychological processes that drive human behavior. This is intriguing, and you might want to delve deeper into the literature on transgenerational trauma and how it might manifest in a nation's military and political tactics. Is there a portion of the text, perhaps, that alludes to this intergenerational psychological impact, which you might have overlooked? When you revisit the text, look for evidence that sheds light on this topic. Be on the lookout for defensive language or any indication that the Israelis might have felt threatened, which could elucidate your question about their violent impulses despite their own historical victimization. And keep in mind, there might be multiple facets to this complex issue. As you continue to investigate, keep circling back to your original question: what led to those violent impulses given the history of violence endured by the Jewish people? Remember, this is not just about finding direct answers but about understanding the broader, more intricate web of historical, psychological, and social factors that contribute to such a situation.

If you are pro-Israel, you are hated. If you are pro-Palestine, you are hated. If you are neutral, you are also hated for staying silent. I personally don't believe there is a right or wrong since both sides have their rights and wrongs but the genocide on Palestine is definitely wrong and needs to stop.

I doubt that no Israelian soldier has no remorse for what they have done but I guess as a soldier they have to show complete allegiance. I just don't understand how the government can just see these people in the worst state imaginable and still think it's okay to keep bombing the Gaza Strip.

I really hope that those kids get the support they need. It is truly disturbing to watch.

Hamas is in a terrible condition right now as Israel has overwhelmed them but I doubt there will be a surrender on either side. Hopefully both sides can come to a compromise Mon, 20 Nov 2023 22:27:14 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3190311 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3190311 I don't think that it was right for Hamas to attack Israel but it was also wrong for BOTH sides to bring in civilian casualties. I completely agree that this could have been solved in a more proper manner.

Although it seems inevitable as eventually people from nearby countries will start helping, and this may cause more complications.

He says that what Israel is doing to Palestine is obviously bad, but that Palestine is also not completely in the right, with their own attacks on Israel.

I really hope Israel comes to a compromise.

It's seriously horrific.

In the public press, they talk about exterminating these "animals".

This fight is causing civilian casualties on both sides though, killing innocent people who simply just want peace.

We have no idea how this whole situation will turn out but I hope that it settles down.

College students in the US rioting against the government and rallies.

This was done to deprive Palestinian people of their basic needs.
