Zapolsky…an extraordinary academic in the fields of neuroscience and primatology; engage and learn about behaviour in the animal kingdom but also the outcomes of European Colonialism. Pit the weak against the weak but there is always more. This video is 2022 but as Zapolsky mentions – it was European Colonialism and the last venture of the British to create yet another attempt at colonialism and dividing up the Palestine mandate. Zaplosky makes the point about Northern Ireland and that young people age 25 have no memories of that war of British occupation. Yes Hamas have done a completely horrid act of war on October 7th but Netanyahu and his right wing have retaliated in a most savage way backed by other countries. Zapolsky, a neuroscientist, asks the question does it go down to pure “Us and Them”. People are basically so easily manipulated. Source: Anadolu Agency (funded by Turkish Government). Zapolsky interviewed November 2024…short and succinct.

Question: Can future generations of Palestine and Israel learn to see each other with empathy? June 2024. This is interview was held 2 years ago.
