Thank you for sharing your thoughtful insights. Your perspective adds depth to the discussion, and I find your analysis intriguing. It has given me valuable insights.

And it's great that we align on this matter. I value the exchange of ideas, and it's reassuring to find common ground in our views.

Who knows what new understandings we might uncover in the future ?

When I read the news I had conflicting emotions of pity but also understanding for his behaviour, in a manner of speaking (hence my initial comment, and my stance in disbelief). "What if he's only a single piece of pieces that are being moved around by various factors ?", including his environment. For instance, if his post immediate environment is presenting a supportive attitude towards ALL Palestinians, that could actually be wrongly perceived.

Exuding highly reactive aggressive behaviour is often correlated with high levels of neuroticism and emotional factors at play, from my understanding.

Here is an interesting excerpt from psychologist expert, Arlin Cunic, "A smaller-scale study found that after viewing unpleasant images, people rating higher in neuroticism had lower oxygen levels in their lateral prefrontal cortex than those with lower neuroticism ratings..", https://www.verywellmind.com/how-neuroticism-affects-your-behavior-4782188

I have come across these concepts before from documentaries and vast inputs, but your insights has driven me to do a brief research about it; specifically about neuroticism. Quite fascinating.

It is indeed of most import to address these complex cases, without having to leave them at the wits of those who prefer idleness.
