The Facebook Experiment Versus The Israel Experiment

As you are no doubt aware, Facebook has been caught out conducting "mind" experiments on their customers. The results of these experiments showed that people who received nothing but negative feeds became negative themselves. Pictures of dead dogs it seems creates a negative outlook.

But was this experiment really necessary? Didn't we already know that? Governments and people in power have been using similar technique for centuries. Just take a look at today's Israel as an example.

The Government of Israel run a strict regime and carefully manage the information they allow their citizens to have access to. From the moment they start learning, they are taught about the evils of Palestine and the threats Palestinians pose to Israel, their families and their friends. Their leaders highlight the evil nature of Hamas and the need to rid the world of all Palestinians. In fact all Arabs are evil according to the Israeli leadership. All Arabs present a very real threat to the existence of Israel itself and must be stopped by any means available. Palestinians will murder Israelis in their beds. They will bomb Jerusalem and keep bombing until all Israelis are dead. Palestine is the Bogeyman that every Israeli child is taught to fear and hate.

Is it any wonder then that groups of Israelis would sit and watch the bombing of Gaza from a hilltop and cheer? Is it any wonder why every death of a Palestinian, be it man, woman or child, Hamas or innocent, is met with celebration (or at least tacit approval) from Israeli citizens? Isn't the Israeli Government just helping rid the world of a Bogeyman so evil that it threatens their entire existence?

As the (very) American film "Independence Day" highlighted, a common enemy is the one thing that is guaranteed to unite people. In the case of the film it was aliens from another world. In the case of Nazi Germany, it was the "non-whites" and particularly the Jews. In the case of The Crusades, it was the Islam infidel. In early America, it was the American Indian. In Stalin's Soviet Union, it was the kulaks. In Rwanda, it was the Tutsi. In the US of the 50s and 60s it was Communists. In Israel it is Palestine.

History has shown us that the human race is easily manipulated into believing that a particular race, nationality or religion is the reason for all of the woes of the country. The leaders, using propaganda and "false flags", show that it is "they", not the Government, that is responsible for all the hardship, sorrow, illness, unemployment, low wages and everything else that is wrong with the country. History shows that it is easy to focus the frustrations and hate of a population towards something other than the leadership. A common Bogeyman unites and keeps the focus away from the ineptitude, greed and tyranny of the people appointed to lead the country.

Facebook conducted their mind manipulation experiment on a small scale when compared to Israel. Israel's Bogeyman experiment has been successfully conducted on an entire country. It is not a "Jewish" belief that Palestine is evil. A large number of Jews are, at this moment, protesting against Israel's genocide of Palestinians which highlights the fact that it is the propaganda instilled into Israel's citizens by its Government that has altered Israelis perception of right and wrong or good and evil.

A strong hatred has been so embedded into the population of Israel now that Genocide, is to them, simply justified self preservation.

Experiment successful!
