Survey Reveals 80% of Israeli Kids Traumatized by Terror-Attack Videos, 64% Afraid to Leave Homes

[shira]

A new survey revealed that 80 percent of Israeli children who have seen footage of terror attacks are left traumatized, Israeli news website Walla reported on Wednesday. The poll was conducted by Nielsen among a cross-section of parents, who reported on how their children have been affected by watching videos of stabbing and other attacks on TV news reports and online.

According to Walla, since the recent surge of Palestinian violence against Israelis began a few weeks ago, the public has been bombarded by regular replays of every attack — caught on security and cellphone cameras.

According to the report, the survey shows that children exposed to such videos are 1.5 times more likely to experience some form of trauma.

It also revealed that 64% of children who have watched such videos are afraid to leave their homes.

5. Some responses to this thread suggest Israel Derangement Syndrome:

An obsessive interest in Israel coupled with
- inability to empathize with Israelis in any way,
- inability to view anything negative as other than Israel's fault,
- inability to see anything good done by Israelis,
- inability to see anything done by Israelis as anything but bad,
- inability to assign blame for anything done by others to harm Israel or Israelis,
- faulty logical reasoning to ensure conclusion is that Israel is bad,
- bizarre lack of interest in anything done that cannot be blamed on Israel.

Anyway, the whole point of the terrorists is to cause terror in people. Looks like they are succeeding.

8. There's no question it's Israel Derangement Syndrome...

An obsessive interest in Israel coupled with
- inability to empathize with Israelis in any way,
- inability to view anything negative as other than Israel's fault,
- inability to see anything good done by Israelis,
- inability to see anything done by Israelis as anything but bad,
- inability to assign blame for anything done by others to harm Israel or Israelis,
- faulty logical reasoning to ensure conclusion is that Israel is bad,
- bizarre lack of interest in anything done that cannot be blamed on Israel.

Yep, that about sums it up - perfectly.

I challenge anyone to argue the above is NOT what the most hostile, pro-BDS, anti-zionist critics of Israel are all about.

That describes them 100% IMHO.
