What's The Deal With Humans And Torture?

inexplicable, yet widespread throughout history

What’s the deal with PEOPLE and torture, is what I want to know. I'm using the general term for human beings, "people", because that's the accurate way to review the history.

There's an emphasis on torture by Jews in the post that throws off the accuracy of the message. Some readers may receive the erroneous message that the Jews* invented torture and that only afterward did any other human community take up the practice.Or that there's some unique relish that the Jews take in torturing and killing.

No. It's practically all of us. The temptation is common enough to be considered a latent potential in all humans. There is an extensive history of civilizations around the planet and across the centuries that have indulged in torture practices of the most ghastly sort. No Jewish influence was required to corrupt their minds.

I bring up that point because it's an essential insinuation of the Classical Antisemtic narrative of Jewish conspiracy--that humans once knew of a golden age of innocence when their societies were ordered properly, before alien Jewish influence corrupted them. This is easily refutable with research. Check out societies with histories where Jewish contact was entirely absent: ancient China. The Maya. The indigenous people of North America. The Mongols.

The Japanese. https://archive.org/details/the-rape-of-nanking_202402/page/n39/mode/2up?view=theater

Etc.

I realize that for the truly committed, Jewish Conspiracy Theory is so utterly unfalsifiable that it leads to conjectures that Jews could may have traveled from abroad early on and shown up to corrupt those societies (and you can't prove otherwise, neener neener.) I suppose it's up to the reader to decide whether or not they're that far gone.

That said, it's just as inaccurate to insist that Jewish torture isn't really torture because Jews don't torture, because the Jews are so good, and anyway if Jews do are doing it they're justified and excused, because something something.

I still believe in the weight of the evidence, as well-documented facts gleaned by multiple journalists on the scene in Gaza and the West Bank, and sources ranging from American Jewish trauma surgeons to whistleblowing Israeli Defence Force soldiers.

I do not believe the misleading propaganda line peddled by The Free Press and Bari Weiss and Bret Stephens and the Zionist militarist political alliance that they represent. The facts show that they are misrepresenting the truth of events. They're also baiting anyone who doesn't conform--accusing anyone who disagrees with their preferred narrative of being either a Left Jew-hater, a Muslim Jew-hater, or a Nazi Jew-hater. I fit none of those descriptions, and I know a gaslighting intimidation tactic when I read one.

We can be glad for the existence of courageous journalists and documentary filmmakers who persist in speaking truth to power with their integrity and their diligence.
