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.

Hate generates more hate if we don't control it. The only thing we really need to do is to control it.

Will #Bitcoin bring an end to evil Jewish power?

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.

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.

They are trapped in some mass psychosis. Of course they are responsible för their actions, but Israel got placed there for a reason. The brits wanted control over the region, but covertly.

Israel is a wedge between Africa and Asia, in conflict with the neigbours. No efficient land trade will ever happen between the continents.

If that region was prosperous and cooperating, everyone except the current western masters would benefit.

Thanks for posting this Ben.

You should watch the whole film if you can.

The part that particularly affected me is when that guy starts laughing about making the village baker throw his own son in the oven and then go in after him.

It's cut out of this clip.

Evil is typically not intentional.

But it is still evil.

Israel is evil.

I am German, we have been taught all our lives how evil the Nazi regime was and that something like that must never happen again.

Everyone can draw their own conclusions from the fact that here in Germany any criticism of Israel is classed as anti-Semitic and that a scientific reappraisal of the Holocaust is taboo and punishable by law, but the fact that a German government tolerates this genocide against the Palestinian people, and even supports it with arms supplies, is shameful and unforgivable for me!

I've already watched the interview with this scum a few times and wish it was shown on German television at least as often as films about Nazis and concentration camps. Actually, everyone should see it, because most people here still believe that the Palestinians are the bad guys.

Have you watched this series?

I've already started a few times, but I've always cancelled. It's still too emotional for me at this point.

My father had to join the Wehrmacht at the age of 19, he was later in La Rochelle France as a flag gunner, from 1945 - 1947 he was a prisoner of war in France. The subject of the Second World War was always a point of contention between us. I can still remember that he had tears in his eyes when he saw the pictures of the many corpses in Auschwitz on the television.

Back then, I believed the propaganda about the Nazis more than my father's stories. If I could still talk to him today, our relationship would certainly be different.
