Additionally, I’m perplexed as to how it is that you think you know what the remaining Jews think of themselves.

Finally, I find your use of the term holocaust to be a bit loose. Again, if you can do the math, the number of Palestinians living in proximity to the Israelis is increasing. Perhaps the Israelis are too busy “whinning” to holocaust properly.

Or like the Christians persecuted by the Romans?

Or like the Armeanians wiped out by the Turks?

Or like the 15 million Russians wiped out under Stalin.

Or like black American slaves who sucked it up, never got a penny or a slavery musuem to their name, marched ahead asking for their human rights without whinning, without holocausting the whites, and who now sit admired in the WH?

Or do you mean why do the Jews think of themselves as the the only victims on earth worth mentioning and the only ones who have parlayed it into a second generation trillion dollar fund raising industry and get out of jail free scheme for their own greed and holocaust on Palestine?

What was the question again?

Going to search now for any late news on the peace possibility.

I have to two aquaintences who both grew up poor and disavantaged and became wealthy. One of them is the kind that says he isn’t ‘going to do nothing for anyone cause no one ever did anything for him’…the other one is very generous and has given much money to organizations to help the less fortunate and helped individuals on a personal basis in the community.

I don’t know how to account for the differences..maybe the difference in their parents attitudes and influence or maybe some people are just missing the ‘empathy gene.

Concerning the Israeli behavior, the best thing I have read to explain Israel and the Zionist is Jacqueline Roses’..The Question of Zion”. As a zionist and a psychologist herself she describes a large part of the zionist movement as a sort of collective psychosis that attracts other jews much like any cult does. The hallmarks of a cult being the idea of themselves as victims and enlightened ones prescuted for their beliefs and the certainty that they are right and the world is wrong. It appeals to people already disposed mentally or by exposure to certain propaganda becuase it gives them a “specialness’ or some kind of identity to channel their natural dispositions or religiouness through…like some of the more way out there doomsdays evangelicals.

How Israel brought Gaza to the brink of humanitarian catastrophe
Oxford professor of international relations Avi Shlaim served in the Israeli army and has never questioned the state’s legitimacy. But its merciless assault on Gaza has led him to devastating conclusions

Curious about this three hour “humanitarian aid window” being less than adequate time span to get trucks into Gaza,unload,dispense and then get trucks back out. Seems very small “window” for all that to happen when communications in Gaza must be quite broken up and sporadic. By the time many Gazans learn or know about aid trucks coming in how much real time is there for them to respond without risking post three hour IDF/IAF attacks?

It is pretty cynical for Israelis to be trumpeting this as a show of how merciful they are propaganda when the truths and facts of these past days of Israeli conduct in Gaza point very much in other directions.

Keeping independent press agencies and agents out a dead giveaway that Israel is doing things it wants to keep world from seeing.

WashingtonDC playing into Israels hand over Israeli press entry denials and playing spoiler for Israel at United Nations will discredit Americans if and when Israeli war crimes come into view post Israeli attack on Gaza only more fully and completely.

Do Americans have any idea how reckless American unconditional support and political backing of Israel may prove to be? Any idea at all?

WashingtonDC is surely playing with fire regarding any American involvement in or with Israeli still unknown war crimes conduct in Gaza.

This American stupidity and craven political ignorance fully worthy of contempt.

I’m not a psychologist but have read and studied a lot on the subject. I was also the youngest of 5 children of a tyrannical, abusive father and deceased mother. My 3 oldest sisters became overly submissive and my only brother became a carbon copy of my father. As children my brother and I used to discuss my Dad’s conduct and hated it, yet Brother became him. I could never understand that.

In the same respect, I cannot understand Israel’s shutting the Palestinians into the Gaza Ghetto under the same inhumane conditions as the Jews were walled into the Warsaw Ghetto by Hitler’s Nazis.

This puzzle continues to disturb me. I would welcome enlightenment on this.
