The article may be "semi-satirical" as you say, but it is more than semi- right on!

This was a wonderfully entertaining article. But as I have said many times before in this forum, I am a simple guy, having only taken Psych 101 in college. Therefore, I say we tell them all to kiss our collective a##$#, smash the daylights out of them, and then talk about their mental health.

My husband, who was a psych nurse, determined long ago that Palestinian society as a whole was suffering from some kind of mass psychosis... That was based on own observation of some Arab Israelis we had met personally while in Israel - one of whom slowly morphed from a self-described pro-Israel "Arab Christian of Greek descent" into an anti-Israel "Palestinian" intellectual activist the longer he attended various universities...

As we talked to different Arabs in the Old City, pn differents trips to Israel, we saw how the younger generation (now Millenials and younger) had become increasingly radicalized - (as they have here as well - just not quite as violent!)

There has always been an undercurrent of resentment and a belief in conspiracy theories about Jews in Arab society... but the level of hateful propaganda has increased dramatically since the development of social media. So has the sense of the entire society being insane.

recently, I read someone describe the as "dysocial"

thank you for the further explanation...

Lara Sheehi is clearly a Jew hating nutter. Dressing that up in physio gobble gook is pathetic.

The lies told by the so called 'Palestinian Supports' worldwide are so transparent I've given up bothering to counter claim. Israel is the homeland of Jews - end of !

And what a beautiful country and people - can't wait to return

Perhaps we need to start calling them "Psychostinians?" Nah, that might be an insult to the late Anthony Perkins. Seriously, their society has basically turned them into professional victims, a career that only works because the West buys into it. The quickest and most effective cure might be to turn off the spigots of international aid. Force Pals to worry about feeding themselves, and they'll have less time to plan terror attacks.

I have written about the collective narcissism of Palestinians. But this is next level! Excellent!

I loved this and it’s so true! It may be satirical but so much truth in there! They do speak gobbledegook.

Yeah the progressives gave lost their minds. They called Obama 'white.' They're all tangled up in their own confused narcissistic nihilism.

This article was a fun read. With truth. But after October 7 and the continued hostage nightmare of hatred and torture and political global acceptance—other than Trump—I have changed. Bombs stopped Germany and Japan. They suddenly saw the light…through the roof. Run them out, kill them as Solomon advised there is a time for, and we know this is it, from both Gaza and Judea Samaria and Israel can thrive.

Yep it’s all we can do. Before Solomon Hashem laid it out in Leviticus 26.3 (Behoukosai). We must not submit to them.

A wonderfully well written article that an American Jew like myself can read and almost feel sane again for a nieve minute or so before reality falls back around me and I remember that many things can be true at the same time….and as correct as you are, I still am heartbroken that we couldn’t figure out a better way. I can’t help feeling like we have made mistakes that we don’t seem to have the courage to fix. I know nobody will understand me when I say: “As much as I agree with you and that everything you said and that you are completely right. something still feels wrong. “
