7. Horrible.
Edited on Fri Apr-08-11 11:08 AM by LeftishBrit
But a significant minority of any population are, to put it bluntly, right-wing poisonous snakes, prepared to support, if usually not to perpetrate, brutal atrocities toward others.

The baleful influences of sections of the Palestinian media no doubt increase the percentage above the baseline for such attitudes - I would estimate that tolerance for such actions toward members of an 'enemy' population would be more like one-sixth than one-third if not for the media incitement.

It is most depressing that people have such a capacity for hate that they don't see even the children of their 'enemies' as human.
