ISRAEL-GAZA 50-Day War

Civilians get too much credit. In Gaza, attitudes are majority for wiping out Israel even after long term ceasefires. Their ceasefire goals are simply to buy more time and get closer to a position from which they can attack Israel more successfully.

Very good point. Can you imagine if our military had rules of engagement like the ones the terrorist have... Holy crap things would be different in the world now.

Intergroup conflict

According to social identity theory, intergroup conflict starts with a process of comparison between individuals in one group (the ingroup) to those of another group (the outgroup).[31] This comparison process is not unbiased and objective. Instead, it is a mechanism for enhancing one’s self-esteem.[2] In the process of such comparisons, an individual tends to:

favor the ingroup over the outgroup

exaggerate and overgeneralize the differences between the ingroup and the outgroup (to enhance group distinctiveness)

minimize the perception of differences between ingroup members

remember more detailed and positive information about the ingroup, and more negative information about the outgroup[32]

Even without any intergroup interaction (as in the minimal group paradigm), individuals begin to show favoritism towards their own group, and negative reactions towards the outgroup.[32] This conflict can result in prejudice, stereotypes, and discrimination. Intergroup conflict can be highly competitive, especially for social groups with a long history of conflict (for example, the 1994 Rwandan Genocide, rooted in group conflict between the ethnic Hutu and Tutsi).[2] In contrast, intergroup competition can sometimes be relatively harmless, particularly in situations where there is little history of conflict (for example, between students of different universities) leading to relatively harmless generalizations and mild competitive behaviors.[2] Intergroup conflict is commonly recognized amidst racial, ethnic, religious, and political groups.

The formation of intergroup conflict was investigated in a popular series of studies by Muzafer Sherif and colleagues in 1961, called the Robbers Cave Experiment.[33] The Robbers Cave Experiment was later used to support realistic conflict theory.[34] Other prominent theories relating to intergroup conflict include social dominance theory, and social-/self-categorization theory.

Sun coming up in Gaza... much less smoke on the cam than the past few mornings...

Okay, i'll be quiet.... until some ass wipe says something that is uncalled for.

any cease fires on the schedule for today?

Hamas eat kittens and IDF sacrifice hens on a pentagram outside Gaza.

Nobody turning on you Wordsworth. There's no ingroup. You did ask why the reaction to the tweet. I answered you. NO grudges, there is no conspiracy to make you the "bad guy".

You're all good man. CHILL!

Fucking trolls!

It's all good. I think this thread is getting to all of us...

No. But there may be some anti cease firing ceasefires later.

Time will tell.

Triple Ditto!

no kidding OP.. these fuckers are worse then the plague.

Most of us were already insane before the thread started. Now in addition to that we are all shell shocked, and have PTSD by experiencing war first hand with audio.

If shit goes hot and the real action starts, some people will need therapy after seeing all the sights and sounds.
