Al Jazeera presents a video depicting a ground operation by Israeli soldiers in Gaza City, within the besieged Gaza Strip, on 6 November. The footage shows Israeli soldiers discussing the...
Just to be clear, this was an elderly Palestinian man cowering under a bed who came out with his hands up and was murdered by an Israeli soldier who brags about it after.
Israel has never not been a fascist state. Religion is humanity's oldest lash. Each of the abrahamic religions after Judaism is a heretical revolutionary cult against the political structures that each prior religion corrupted itself into.
“In February 2014, the state of Israel held a memorial ceremony to mark the 20th anniversary of Begin’s death. The prime minister, then, as now, was Netanyahu.
“The newspaper Israel Hayom reported Netanyahu as saying:
‘[Begin] is a great role model for me, with his respect for democracy, courts of law and the media…… Israel and the Likud are inspired by the spirit of Menachim Begin.’”
I'm no scholar, but aren't there only two and their various sects? Would have been shorter to just name them, unless it was to tie them to their Abrahamic roots and then I'm curious why you don't include Judaism.
This is my favorite Black Mirror episode because, unlike most of the episodes, it has literally been done before except we don't need the technology they used. People are cruel and stupid enough to just listen when you say other people are monsters without requiring much else.
Muzafer Sherif's first experiment ("Middle Grove") failed when the two groups worked together to figure out that they were being manipulated. The second experiment ("Robbers Cave") was only apparently successful because the "camp counselors" were explicitly aiding and abetting the feud between the two groups.
Of course, Sherif didn't mention these details when he publicized his results.
I don’t see where it’s debunked in that article, but I’d absolutely like to check out any other sources you have. I only found a Vox article that said he failed to disclose the first experiment and linked to that same page you did. To me, it seems more “scientifically unsound” due to ethical issues rather than “debunked”.
“I wouldn’t describe him as a charlatan … every journal article, every textbook is written to convince, persuade and to provide evidence for a point of view. So I don’t think Sherif is unusual in that way.”
Even that author thinks he’s just like every researcher. I dunno. I’m not seeing the debunked angle. Ethical issues, sure.
Regardless, I still think it’s quite relevant even if they were manipulating the boys somehow; do you not feel we’re potentially being manipulated by other parties to feud with one another?
Fundamentally, it's the same issue that affected the Stanford Prison Experiment & the Milgram experiment. You can't claim that the subjects naturally developed certain behaviors, if they were being prompted or saw through the prompts.
Since Sherif proved himself to be untrustworthy after the first experiment failed to provide the results he was looking for, we can't really trust that any of the conditions of the conflict between the campers arose from the campers themselves.
