What if Mexico fired tens of thousands of rockets into the southern United States over a 22-year period in a bid to get Texas back?

[quote]Since 2001, Palestinian militants have launched tens of thousands of rocket and mortar attacks on Israel from the Gaza Strip as part of the continuing Arab–Israeli conflict. The attacks, widely condemned for targeting civilians, have been described as terrorism by the United Nations, the European Union, and Israeli officials, and are defined as war crimes by human rights groups Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. The international community considers indiscriminate attacks on civilian targets to be illegal under international law. Palestinian militants say rocket attacks are a response to Israel's block of Gaza, but the Palestinian Authority has condemned them and says rocket attacks undermine peace.

From 2004 to 2014, these attacks have killed 27 Israeli civilians, 5 foreign nationals, 5 IDF soldiers, and at least 11 Palestinians and injured more than 1900 people. Their main effect is their creation of widespread psychological trauma and disruption of daily life among the Israeli populace.[/quote]

I wouldn't doubt that's true. But it's over a ten year period.
As of September, according to the UN, this year Israeli troops had killed 172 Palestinians.
Last year they killed 155.
A UN report from '21, after Israel troops killed roughly 250 Palestinians in Gaza, said they want "complete control" over the land in question. Amnesty Intl. called it genocide at the time.
I think it's pretty clear that there's two sides to this coin.

@flipper1966 Yeah mouth. That's what I was doing. You're a Jew and don't know who Ethan Katz is? Perfect.

Are you familiar with the work of Otto Kernberg, M.D.?

As infants interact with their caregivers, they begin to form internal object relations to represent these interactions. This experience is stored along with the intense emotional states that accompanied these interactions with the "object" (caregiver). It is assumed that infants do not yet experience nuanced emotions so these emotional states are generally of extreme pleasure or extreme displeasure. It is during these intense emotional states that infants develop a representation of self in relation to the other person (object). Depending on how such interactions go, these representations can take different forms. [b][i]An example would be a representation of a persecuted self (the child) and a powerful, threatening persecuting object (the caregiver) linked together through the affect of fear.[/i][/b]
