One Family in Gaza

"Never Again."

don't know if it's still there; last time I was in DC near holocaust museum, the theme of the posters surrounding the exterior was,

"Remember what you saw."

I saw that "Family in Gaza" video on Mondoweiss a few weeks ago and I can't get it out of my brain. I dream about seeing a lump of flesh just beyond my reach, in the street in front of my house. I can't get it out of my mind. It drives me crazy.

"Remember what you saw."

Dr. Sanho Tree and Dr. John Dower, "Cultures of War" --
(Sanho Tree speaking):

"To take an 18-year old . . .and be able to turn an 18-year old into someone who is capable of doing truly horrific things to complete strangers for reasons of state is a very unnatural act -- it takes a lot of conditioning.
And so there's a lot of dehumanization that goes on, both of the perpetrator as well as the the victim.
And I think this carries over -- in order to do these things you have to dehumanize, but if you dehumanize, you can't really get into the mindset of your adversaries. And if you can't get into their mindset, you can't really understand what is motivating them. If you don't understand what motivates them, you can't get them to stop doing whatever it is you went to war to get them to stop doing in the first place.
Misunderstanding the psychology of the adversary."

If you stir into this "conditioning-dehumanizing" formula the realization that Jewish Israeli schoolchildren are conditioned to feel hated, to which they respond by hating the other, as is recorded on the video, "Defamation:"--> the rising Israeli public is conditioned to hate.
AND, stir into this formula the Jewish trait of assumed intellectual superiority, which Milton Friedman asserted, in a 1972 speech to Hillel at University of Chicago: --> Israeli Jews assume they know best how to "understand" Iranian intentions, motivations, behaviors, but they are looking through eyes conditioned to dehumanize; Israelis who interpret Iran are looking in a mirror and seeing their dehumanized selves.
AND, stir into this formula that media is dominated by Jews -- "Iranium" is the latest manifestation.

The outcome is explosive.

Can it be neutralized?
