More than 110 Palestinian prisoners have died from torture and mistreatment since Itamar Ben-Gvir became Israel’s security minister. Now he wants the power to hang them.

A single verse: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+20%3A17&version=CJB
The original founding of Israel, millenia-ago, was on the bedrock of genociding.
I presume that there’s been ebb-&-flow in motivation, … but I’ve seen Jewish discussions asking why there was sooo much genociding, in the founding of Judaism…
All this recent world-history, though, has caused me to understand something that I was too stupid to understand, before:
ALL genociding is rooted in narcissism.
Maybe “national” narcissism, maybe “personal” narcissism, maybe “ideological” narcissism, but ALL of it is rooted in narcissism, & sociopathy ( induced ) or psychopathy ( intrinsic brain-defect of deficient/zero empathy ), to boot.
Therefore anyone wanting to root-out genociding, has to root-out narcissism, genociding’s origin…
That change-in-perspective means differentiating between the symptoms, vs the origin/cause, & if the cause is narcissism, which we ALL ( all demographies, all cultures, all languages, all populations ) have in us, & then have our culture intentionally & systematically amplify…
… that makes things much more impersonal, more systemic, more civilization-scale-correction is required …
