    their opposition against raping Palestinians is that many Israelis consider them animals.

    while I lived there, i once walked by a falafel stand, the guy in the stand was having a conversation with a customer about how disgusting and ugly Arab women are and how it’s disgusting to have sex with them. they stopped me to ask me if I agree. that sort of racism is so common it’s considered normal conversation.

    the punchline? they were both mizrachi and the most arab looking Israelis you could find.

      I’ve said this repeatedly, and I realize that it’s over-the-top enough that it likely comes across as deliberately inflammatory rhetoric, but I actually mean every single word of it, in the most precise clinical sense:

      80 years of jingoistic propaganda, religious exceptionalism, institutional racism, blatant fear-mongering and unbridled greed has made Israel into a nation of psychopaths.

        i wonder if there’s a thing about “mass psychology”

        when you can diagnose a whole nation with some serious mental condition. because there are definitely such thing as a national psychology. when they the individuals might vary, as a nation Israel is definitely narcissistic and completely lacks empathy.
