I put up some of these occasionally, but here again is DeMause arguing that panics about homosexuals occurs when collectively people, regressing away from societal innovation, psychically cling back to their mothers. This makes them feel girl-men, which they try and compensate for by attacking...

Israel for sure did what it could to make sure they could go about genocide. They wanted the young partiers to be murdered.

Switching into disassociated alters -- which hold early childhood memories of being terrorized and weak -- is why powerful nations feel they are vulnerable to being destroyed. DeMause.

I suspect that unconsciously Zionists might even view the hostages this way. Helpless people that let themselves be kidnapped.

DeMause, Emotional Life of Nations. We were looking for this. It's why the reports from Egypt (that there was unusual activity from Hamas this previous week) were ignored.
