One thought on “Old Dog Thought- Israeli Pleasure Principle. Surround 2.3M people with walls barbed wire and hate and “mow the lawn” at will in Punishment Park”

1. With the Palestinian-Israeli conflict — past and present, but seemingly now more than ever — there has been widespread partisanship via Internet and news commentary. The politics of polarization outside of Israel and even the Middle East, perhaps in part for its own sake, has gotten quite disturbing.

   Within social media especially, the angry and thoughtless two-dimensional views are especially amplified, including the majority posted by non-Jews and non-Palestinians.

   It arouses a spectator-sport effect or mentality, with many contemptible trolls residing well outside the region yet actively supporting the ‘side’ [via politicized commentary posts] that they hate less. I anticipate many actually keep track of the bloody match by checking the day’s-end death-toll score, however extremely lopsided those numbers.

   Meanwhile, Western-government political indifference towards the mass starvation and slaughter of helpless Palestinian non-combatants will only have further inflamed long-held Middle Eastern anger towards the West.

   Some countries’ actual provision, mostly by the U.S., of highly effective weapons used in Israel’s onslaught will likely have turned that anger into lasting hatred seeking eye-for-an-eye redress.
