A lot of it is an instinctual response.

Hearing 'jews this, jews that' since birth causes people to want to 'fit in' and go along with what everyone else is doing even if they don't understand it.

I was surprised by how much anti-Semitism existed when I went to high school, because I never experienced it before outside of South Park. For everyone else, it was just normal and understood (even if they didn't support it.) It really cemented the idea in my mind that most people do things without thinking just to fit in with others.

I can say, with absolute certainty, that is not the norm.

For every sale they make, there are countless others they don't. And they still have to put in the time.

I've gone through many realtors looking for a house, all of them gave me hours of their time and didn't see a penny in return.

That said, I don't think realtors are necessary and we should push the idea that people shouldn't use them unless they think they need to.

Eh. Anger can make you decisive and actually enhance your patience.

You're probably thinking of rage.

I'm sure they don't even care about what happened.

It's just a paycheck to them.

yet refuse to negotiate for a viable piece?

Look at any colonized people who have made peace on their colonizer's terms for why they might not want to do that.

Let's see here, just off the top of my head:

Native Americans, Native Australians, Native South Africans.

To be fair, Palestine already resembles the reservations and slums the native people I mentioned have been forced into by their colonizers.

This is interesting.

Israel is actively making more people support the Palestinian cause because of their overcensorship and heavy-handed tactics to control what people think and say.

I'm sure a lot of people don't know off the top of there head what is and is not a lot of caffeine.

All zionists are scumbags.

Zionism, by definition, is religious nationalism.

No wonder Israel is full of right-wing nutjobs.

Indebted would be the accurate word.
