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.

    I remember around 10 years ago, there were some videos of what the youth were taught in school, and interviews with young adults about their opinion of Palestinians.

    To sum it up, they were taught they were filth, sub human, in ~grade school ages. Young adults “sympathized” that they had tough lives, but they should go elsewhere, anywhere else, and that if they didn’t, they should die.

    It was in the context of that anti missile defense, and living in Isreal with frequent missile/terror attacks, and how Palestinians were segregated, had long lines to enter the city, couldn’t use the same roads, kids throwing rocks at cars, etc.

    So yeah, this genocide is hardly surprising. They’ve been dehumanizing the Palestinians for generations, straight up indoctrinating their children. So the IDF murdering them like some rabid dogs was exactly the goal.
