Billo_Really, et al,
The propensity to "riot" as an outcome instigated by triggering chronic criminal behaviors, intentionally aggravated by group group dynamics as a politically induced or motivated by a dysfunctional influence. In this case, in the recent news, there were three psychological processes occurring within a social group of pathological perpetrators:
• The Islamic madness that accompanies the occurrence of any abnormal activity on the Temple Mount and the Old City of Jerusalem; as well as, the irrational fear that the Mosques of Omar and Al-Aqsa might be damaged or destroyed.
• Political personalities, under the cover of free speech, ratchet up anti-Zionist Rhetoric like that of Knesset Member Haneen Zoabi, amplification of protest slogans (of the day).
• The impact of the gradually increasing cycle of violence that generally results in a corresponding increased security measures; which then is again protested by sympathetic Arab-Israelis as each level of disturbance is met with the corresponding security response.
About 500 Arab-Israelis demonstrated in 6 locations in the north of Israel, following the clashes (and terror attacks) in Jerusalem and against IDF operations in Judea and Smaria.
In Nazareth a stone was thrown on a bus, wheels set on fire and the entrance blocked.
Among other location are Sfaram, Baeina, Baka el-Garbiyah, Kana and Taiybe.
You said Arabs in Israel were treated well?
People who are treated well, don't riot.
(JUST AS A SIDE NOTE ON TREATMENT - A bit off-topic --- skip if you want!)
As I was browsing the news today and doing some fact-checking, this older article captured my attention.
In Israeli jails, Palestinians still earning degrees
Despite a 2011 ban, prisoners reportedly pursuing higher education in secret
BY
MOHAMMED DARAGHMEH January 28, 2014,
Abu Muhsin is among hundreds of Palestinians who have spent their time in Israeli prison pursuing higher education — a program that was supported by the Israeli prison system for two decades until it was cut in 2011 as part of a series of sanctions against prisoners. Since then, prisoners secretly have organized their own courses, with backing from universities in the West Bank and Gaza, Palestinian officials say.
It was one of several articles used as an example of the difference the security environment makes. Suggesting that in a prison, even a convicted murderer can become an accomplished academic
(in this case to the Doctoral level) because the student was removed from the cycle of violence.
(COMMENT)
When I was a student at The Ohio State University (OSU)
(Columbus) it was not uncommon to see very large protests. During the Vietnam War, The OSU Campus had a population of 45,000 people
(Faculty, Staff, Students). Back then, you could put together a demonstration of 5,000 students --- just to protect the rough toilet paper used on campus. This is an example of the Group Mentality and its vulnerability. Being a graduate of OSU, I knew many student participant the demonstrated everything from the Vietnam War to the treatment of the Gray Squirrel population on campus. And many of these students openly admit that they did not care about the focus of the demonstration; they just wanted the experience to participate in something bigger then themselves. And, they got caught up in the emotion of the moment.
The violence, riots and rough demonstrations of the Hostile Arab-Palestinian (HoAP) is much like my observation at OSU. Except, that the HoAP, being Islamic (for the most part) to start with, and coming from a dysfunctional society that base their entire existence on violence, turn an otherwise peaceful pursuit --- violent. Remember, if you are a member of the population set of HoAP, you either know a insurgent or terrorist --- or know someone who knows an insurgent or terrorist. The area has a very high density of Jihadists and Fedayeen. Violence over the most minor of incidents is the easiest solution for them to derive.
