I refuse to believe that. humans are some of the most social, compassionate, and empathetic animals to ever exist. this is tribalism taken to its extreme, promoted by propaganda and an insular culture. theres a reason these far right groups seek to dehumanize their "enemies", and it's because if people they see them as human they wont do shit like this. israel conditions its people to see others this way, intentionally. it isn't human nature left to its own devices at all.
