This is OLD news, their genociding has been going-on for years, now.

https://euromedmonitor.org/en/article/6669/Euro-Med-Monitor:-Israel%E2%80%99s-brutality-in-Gaza-surpasses-all-recent-forms-of-terrorism

"comically", the Jewish book of Jeremiah, & the Jewish book of Isaiah, both speak of Israel turning anti-God, & then getting G-D's wrath torching it..

IF that biblical-rule still holds, THEN Netanyahu's "Israel" is getting torched, soon.

Simply wait & see: if that torching does happen, then their God made it happen, according to their scripture, right?

Here's facts, for the ideological to ignore/deny: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1422308/palestinian-territories-israel-number-fatalities-and-injuries-caused-by-the-israel-and-hamas-war/


Israeli identity is rooted on genociding/exterminating multiple-nations, thousands of years ago:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+20%3A17&version=CJB orders the EXTERMINATION of 6 nations, & another of their books identifies that it was 7 exterminations, not 6, they were to enforce.

Genociding/exterminating/holocausting isn't a new behavior for Israel.

Doing it in the name of "zionism" is new, but genociding isn't new.

I'd never have guessed this, having grown-up in 2 religions: medical-science & Catholicism,

but the book "The Alphabet Versus the Goddess" by Leonard Shlain identified that the original holocausting was done by the Jews, & I went & checked in the bible, & yep.. there it was..

what Shlain didn't notice, probably because of being Jewish, was that the Catholic Inquisitors were Latin-educated, which also corroborates his point that getting populations to be left-hemisphere-dominant forces ideological-rabies..


What is the root-cause, though? Want experience-induced-undersanding which vastens one's mind?

Work-through, not-merely-read, it is the DOing which produces the experience-of-sentience-transformation, Betty Edwards' "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, the 4th, Definitive Edition", but use charcoals, which makes it much easier to experience the hemisphere-dominance-shift..

See this gallery?

https://www.drawright.com/before-after

That SHOWS the difference-in-MIND of hemisphere-dominance-shift: it is EVIDENCE.

Being an autistic blockhead, it took me 3y, not 5d, to experience that shift, because fighting the woodenness-of-my-brain made me want to scream..

Anyways, all who pretend that "there is no evidence for hemisphere-dominance-shift", are people who won't do the experiment, so .. they can shove their ideology .. wherever their egos are, to keep their egos company.

: p

Ideology, specifically symbol-anchored ideology, is prone to rabies/genociding, exactly as Shlain identified, throughout human history.

R-Mind isn't prone to rabies/genociding.

Exactly as Marshall McLuhan, the ultra-genius who forsaw telework around 1953, it isn't possible for people who grew-up literate to understand what illiterate-culture's story-river sentience is, or means..

His stupendous insight is embodied in "The Medium Is The mAssage", strange-capitalization is mine, but the spelling is his!

The medium of electric-technology, as he called it, is modular, & it forms minds into modularity!

The medium of story-river isn't modular, & forms minds into holding-onto eternal story-river, because that's their greatest treasure: it is who they are that they are holding-onto!

There's no way to imagine being in sooo-different a kind of sentience.

Precisely the same impossibility-of-understanding-the-difference is true, with hemisphere-dominance-shift: it isn't possible to imagine within-1-sentience-kind, what any other-sentience-kind means/is/feels-like!

Hofstadter's "Godel Escher Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid" was also on this single point, from a totally-different angle:

Formal-systems, ideologies, prejudices, & "religions", all are AXIOM-BASED knowing: and evidence is powerless to falsify them!

One has to choose between 2 mutually exclusive knowing-paradigms: self-consistency/axiom-based, .. XOR .. completeness/universe-centered.

Godel's Theorem of Incompleteness mathematically proved that self-consistency CANNOT be complete-knowing of universe!


Anyways, back to sentiences:

IF one never even experiences one's own brain's hemisphere-dominance-shift, THEN one dies ignorant of AN ENTIRE DIMENSION of one's own sentience!

The fact that alphabetic-language/left-hemisphere-polarization also consistently produces more genociding, builds on that as evidence that limiting ourselves to a specific-subset-of-our-potential creates distorted-psyche.. & distorted-behavior/society.

I ask everyone, as Betty Edwards asked everyone, please DO THE EXPERIMENT, & EXPERIENCE the resultant sentience-shift, your own self, & KNOW what that sentience-shift feels-like,

& when one does, THEN Shlain's book turns into fluorescent, & screaming, warning, about the consequences of blocking-out the other-half of our brains.

People who experience both kinds of sentience, regularly, don't do what the ideologues are doing with our world!

That the mode-of-mind that the polarized-in-symbols people are demonstrating, with its ideological-genociding, is a distortion.

It is a mind-distortion that WE have been educated into!

Cut the root of the distortion, by directly-experiencing it oneself!

Here: I'll give you the links to the books, themselves.. ( none of these are "affiliate" links: machiavellianism-narcissism can go eat rocks : )

https://www.drawright.com/bettys-books
https://www.drawright.com/try-an-exercise
https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/drawing-on-the-right-side-of-the-brain

https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-alphabet-versus-the-goddess-the-conflict-between-word-and-image

No ebook version for McLuhan's stunningly-important insight, so here's the paperback: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=marshall+mcluhan+medium+massage

ditto for GEB: https://www.amazon.com/G%C3%B6del-Escher-Bach-Eternal-Golden/dp/0465026567/

( for both the paperbacks, I read the original edition, decades ago, so I hope that you're getting a version that hasn't pruned-out any of the important stuff! GEB, the 2nd edition adds an explanatory preface, so that's the only change, but for McLuhan's, I've no idea what changed between editions )

Anyways, genociders gaslighting about what they're doing, as Russia has been demonstrating, & Israel has been demonstrating, & as the US of A will shortly be more-completely-demonstrating, once Trump stops vascillating in his nature/unconscious-mind, & becomes like Putin & Netanyahu completely ( might take only weeks/months, now, for that transformation to complete ) is well-established and normal among our world's left-hemisphere-polarized minds,

AND evidence showing what's actuality, is abundant, including before-after video of Palestinian cities.

Reject evidence if you want, & pretend that no evidence counts unless it is .. authorized by the gaslighters who're doing the genociding, if that's what "standard" you hold to be true:

I've encountered enough people who do that that now I know it's a real thing..

I've also encountered the ones who insist that unless Israel authorizes Palestinian-deaths to be actual, they they're only lies/delusions made-up to falsely-accuse Israel.

Sorry, but the photographic & video-evidence has been falsifying that gaslighting all along, & I'm not obedient to such evil-machiavellianism, anymore: age has benefits, including spine-produced-by-cynicism.
