Man, you and I have different definitions for street fights. This was a mob attack, period. When did you last see hundreds of jewish people standing by watching dozens of palestinians beat a few jews?
Never, because the Bystander Effect only happens when the Bystanders view the victims as alien to themselves. If you want to call it a mob beating, pointing out the most scientifically-validated psychological paralysis ever studied, is not the best way to do it. Honestly, I would do some reading on the phenomenon.
You went straight from calling them innocent jews to barbarians
This is actually, completely made up. I never called them innocent Jews.
the dehumanization is not just inaccurate it also absolves the environment that these people got their ideas from of any connection to their eventual behavior. No man, they're not barbarians, they're regular kids and young adults of Jerusalem. This is what they learned and this is what they believe
Learned from where? Israeli mass media? Nope. Israeli government? Nope. Israeli police force? Nope.
Your assumption is that they have "learned" to think the way they do, but you're completely dismissing other variables, such as:
- The constant terrorist attacks they're experiencing
- The international community's isolation of the Jewish state
- Feeling that the world doesn't care if they live or die (which is accurate)
- Feeling that the world actually prefers that they die (not a far-reach from reality)
But of course, you zoom in on the one variable that implies there is something wrong with their culture, even though there is zero evidence to support it.
P.S. - I looked up the word barbarian in the dictionary... Describes them perfectly.
