Just to be clear, this was an elderly Palestinian man cowering under a bed who came out with his hands up and was murdered by an Israeli soldier who brags about it after.

    it actually requires years of extremism within a government for people to support things like this.

      I really don’t think it does, check out the Robbers Cave experiment. Group dynamics is fascinating.

        Robbers Cave has been debunked. Short version:

        Muzafer Sherif’s first experiment (“Middle Grove”) failed when the two groups worked together to figure out that they were being manipulated. The second experiment (“Robbers Cave”) was only apparently successful because the “camp counselors” were explicitly aiding and abetting the feud between the two groups.

        Of course, Sherif didn’t mention these details when he publicized his results.
