But the variance is there and it's also there in trans people (larger hypothalamus in both cis and trans women springs to mind- that one's been known about for some time). It is intriguing if nothing else. :o)

1% is still an interesting amount and could account for lots of things,I agree.

6) I know nothing whatever about any of this.

8) I'm not going to watch a video of this kind, though I would read a transcript. But I get the gist. I think one of the worst things about both the Israeli military and the Palestinian insurgents' behavior is that it gets Israelis talking like this. But you have to be selective to get these quotes. About half the voters think this way; the other half think quite differently, and that's why the government is in deadlock.

again, just to try to contrast(somewhat post-mortem)this murky wave of propaganda (which I, as israeli, mostly get from our side of the confrontation line).
here's a poll i came across, fresh from October 2020, crudely reflecting what people think on both sides. to my personal surprise, i found nothing too surprising there...
