Those Israelis, should you hang out with them long enough, and ask them honest questions, would horrify you. The view that Jews have that they are special and 'better than' is almost totally universal.

That Black Mirror episode where the military protagonist discovers his brain chip is making him see innocent civilians as zombie savages is basically the story of Israel.
These people are so intensely indoctrinated to believe that every Arab is a dog that must be slaughtered, it's hard to find anything to compare it with.
I've met many Israelis during my travels the last 7 years, and here's the crazy part: In my experience at least, the vast majority of them are VERY friendly and chill. Never had any problem with them personally.
But knowing what I do now about the middle east power dynamics...a lot of the campfire stories they told me about their time in the military over the years are starting to make more sense to me, and not in a good way. All these tall tales of "fighting terrorists"...yeah 😬
I want people to understand this: young Israelis are not intentionally being evil. They believe that everything they and their military is doing is virtuous, as that's what every aspect of their upbringing tells them. These are humans, and they are products of their environment just like the rest of us - it doesn't even register in their brains that any of Israel's actions are wrong, let alone evil or inhumane.
It's really difficult to see a light at the end of this tunnel in terms of turning the mass-brainwashing culture of the country around, but I will cling on to hope that someday it is possible. Likely not in our lifetimes, but someday.
#Bitcoin and the gutting of central bank power, combined with true free speech via #Nostr, can only help move us closer to this reality. This is why I focus so hard on promoting these freedom technologies; I truly believe they are the key to finally putting a halt to the momentum of evil in this world, and flipping the switch toward a future of true enlightenment for all.

They are no different to the Nazis.
believe they are a superior race and happy to murder innocents.
Did the Nazis really believe that though?
I'm still an intermediate in this rabbit hole, but from what I'm gathering, the notion that the Germans of the time saw themselves as a "master race" is a false psyop - they just wanted to be left alone and not have their country gutted from the inside by the jews
Yeah, it's been a while since I've been around them regularly like I was in 2018-2020. Knowing what I do now, it will be very interesting to go into those situations again and slyly slip in those real questions to see what they say.
I don't hostel-hop as much as I used to, but I probably will again eventually, and I am not one to hold my tongue when the opportunity arises 😅 I will report back.
