Why are people like this?

Dehumanization of the enemy. Just like the Nazis. 😔

Yea, like I get that part. But what part of the human psyche actually makes us act this way so often?

A member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, speaking Monday at a meeting of lawmakers, justified the rape and abuse of Palestinian prisoners, shouting angrily at colleagues questioning the alleged behavior that anything was legitimate to do to “terrorists” in custody.

Lawmaker Hanoch Milwidsky was asked as he defended the alleged abuse whether it was legitimate, “to insert a stick into a person’s rectum?”

“Yes!” he shouted in reply to his fellow parliamentarian. “If he is a Nukhba [Hamas militant], everything is legitimate to do! Everything!”

Sometimes it feels like certain parts of humanity just didn’t really learn all the lessons that they should have from the Holocaust about dehumanizing people.

Seems a bunch learned which side of the gun to be on

There’s a reason that countries started agreeing on a set of laws of war, and it wasn’t the goodness of their hearts. It means if your own soldiers get captured by an enemy working under the same rules, they should ideally be treated with at least a minimal standard of care. But every incident like this or Abu Ghraib weakens those protections and norms.

Food, shelter, water, healing body, mind and spirit is the justice. When we seek retribution, we seek "just us," if every "race" or whatever false construct we use to "other,", it's swallowing poison and expecting others to die, with apologies to the Buddha.

shouting angrily at colleagues questioning the alleged behavior that anything was legitimate to do to "terrorists" in custody.

We need to remember this, when calling for retributive "justice." That's not justice. That's revenge, and it's not just, for us, the Israelis, Palestinians, and closer to home, Dems, Reps, Libertarians, Tankies, Fascists.

Justice is balancing the scales: removing conditions of despair, as best we can, rather than finding new and more cruel ways to create more despair.

Simple. Not easy.
