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.
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.
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?
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.
75 years of being attacked leads to some fucked up thinking. Most Israelis, like most Palestinians know people who have been victims of violence repeatedly. Their mindsets aren't the same as those in the West with the safety and security provided by border stability. Which is why it's so interesting seeing the Western ideals being pushed on this conflict. Those ravers should be jailed though, they're contradicting the ICJ order. Whether it's the Israeli government or not, the order was to enable the provision of aid and that means clearing obstacles.
I think they may be viewing it as more of an act of defiance and retribution for the rave hamas murdered all those innocent people at. If you view it as an isolated thing happening during a “war” then it really makes no sense.
I'd actually argue the opposite. Religion reigns in bad people. Talk to a religious person, wait until you hear them say something like, "but if there's no god and no afterlife, what's to stop people from murder and rape?" That's all that's holding them back from total anarchy, the threat of eternal suffering and damnation, only for some it's still not enough.
You think I care about some little masturbatory gotcha play, but no - innocent people are suffering and these fucks are trying to keep them from basic necessities like food, water, and medical supplies that have pointedly and explicitly destroyed by Israel - fuck em, take em out.
Apples =/= oranges, no matter how hard you try to run circles around it.
Problem is what do we define "peaceful lives". You and I think it just means being able to go about our daily lives and just that, but Israelis have been drowning in propaganda. It's like saying "Americans just want peaceful lives right after 9/11/" Sure, but what they think will get them their peaceful lives is an armed invasion and genocide. It was a popular enough view to get Bush reelected.
Your social media feed wants you to think that, but the reality is that these protesters are the far right ultra orthodox types that vote for parties that are the furthest right of the governing coalition. Yay for proportional representation where you can form the government by making a coalition with the furthest right parties, right?
Yeah all I see is a group of people dancing next to a street...
Edit: to the down voters, I was merely describing the information that was available in this thread at the time, which was none except the video. Now that OP has provided sourcing that supported the claims in the title, I am satisfied. Don't trust everything you see on the Internet, unless there is a context that support what is claimed is what I am saying.
A "rave" in the barest sense of the word. That's got to be the shittiest "rave" I've ever seen in my life, and I was barely coherent or intelligible through most of them.
Doesn't work for me still, in either Mull or Mulch browsers on my phone. Catbox.moe does work, just not the mp4. It's probably mp4 support in my browsers.
