Henry Kopel discusses the war on hate and why some individuals and groups fall into violence, terrorism, and even genocide. Heavy indoctrination and incitement to hatred play an important role. The world is spinning away from modernity into a lot of us versus them dynamics. He uses the Milgram and Asch experiments as examples of how ordinary people can participate in atrocities. He discusses antisemitism and provides a brief overview of Islam and how it's theology and different strains developed. He also comments on extremism among Jews or Israelis. One solution to look at when it comes to genocide is liberalization and democracy.
