I genuinely thought this was hyperbolic satire.

I don’t understand how someone becomes such a shit human capable of doing something like this.
They are raised on racial supremacy and exceptionalism stories. They are the ultimate filthy racists. They are pretty open about ejecting every non-jewish person from Israel, and killing anyone who has anything they want. They’d happily launch nuclear weapons too, they couldnt care less if it harms lands and people outside Israel.
Group think and social pressures. It is remarkably easy for humans to find themselves behaving like those around them. The progression doesn’t even have to be fast. Imagine that when the israeli military fought wars in the mid 20th century, they started thinking of the enemy around them, and then imagine how long it has been since then with no corrective measures ever taken on those lines of thinking. NOW add in that israel has mandatory military service. The ones who choose to stay are going to be the ones that can agree and fit in with those now very evolved thoughts of hatred, and of course they will bring their own worse additions as they try to prove themselves to those the esteem, the already putrid military members ranked above them.
It was more of an exasperated/incredulous statement but appreciate the insights nonetheless
Ordinary people do fucked up shit when fucked up shit becomes ordinary.
because they are used to have any and all actions justified by the world and any criticism flagged as “anti-semitism”
In short: cognitive dissonance-reducing beliefs.
