Undertaken by Hebrew University researchers, the study revealed that Jewish Israelis were more likely to ‘deepen their beliefs’ in the midst of ongoing Genocide in Gaza
ed note–another eye-opener that every war-weary Gentile with a vested interest in his/her own future survival needs to read, understand, and take deeply to heart.
Firsto, ladies and Gentile-men, a lil’ truism in establishing the foundation for the following important discussion–
‘You can take the Jew out of the Sin-a-Gog, but you can’t take the Sin-a-Gog out of the Jew’…
Meaning, ladies and Gentile-men, just as the Jews are famous for telling all of us on a regular basis, that no matter where they are, and no matter what ‘hat’ they happen to be wearing at any given moment, that ‘a Jew is a Jew is a Jew’, and that irrespective of how far they may wander from ‘home’, that when they hear that distant dinner bell signaling some religiously-mandated slaughter of Gentiles, they come back.
Remember, ladies and Gentile-men, the slaughter in Gaza IS a religious war as explained in the clearest of terms by no less an authoritative source than the warlord/terrorist Jew himself, Benjamin Netanyahu, when he referenced, several times as a matter of fact, the following Judaic religious passage–
‘Now go and attack Amalek and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them, but put to death the men and women, the children and suckling infants, as well as their cattle, sheep, camels and donkeys.’ 1 Samuel 15:3
And rest assured, ladies and Gentile-men, that the Jews who were polled in this story who are now finding ‘deeper roots’ in their Judah-ism as a result of this war, did not focus on any ‘humanitarian’ or ‘love thy neighbor as thyself’ precepts within their Judah-ism (which in fact do not exist and are not to be found anywhere within it) but rather, all the blood-n-guts anti-Gentilism that was, is, and always will be the ‘beating heart (no pun intended) of Judah-ism’s core beliefs and ‘protocols’, to wit–
‘When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are to possess and drives out the many nations larger and stronger than you, and when the Lord your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them, show them no mercy and do not save alive anything that breathes, for you are a people holy to the Lord your God who has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession…’ –Book of Deuteronomy

One in four Israeli students have become more devout since the October 7 attack and the subsequent war in Gaza, a study conducted by psychologists at Hebrew University reveals.
Published this week in the International Journal for the Psychology of Religion, the study also found that about one in three students have become more spiritual since the war began.
Entitled ‘Widespread religious and spiritual change due to war: A terror management perspective,’ the study was co-authored by Prof. Mario Mikulincer, Prof. Ariel Knafo-Noam and Yaakov Greenwald, a doctoral student in psychology.
More than 1,200 Jewish Israeli students at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem participated in the study.
‘Often the assumption is that people will turn to religion or spirituality as they try to make sense of the meaning of life and cope in difficult circumstances,’ Greenwald told Haaretz.
‘And that’s one of the important points here – realizing that maybe people also are reacting in different ways.’
The study found that students were more likely to become more religious or spiritual if they came from a religious background and if they were directly affected by the war. Indeed, many of the hostages who were released earlier this year reported observing religious rituals while in captivity as well as afterward. The same held true for some of their families.
About half of the participants in the study reported some change in their level of religiosity and spirituality during the war. ‘We don’t have a comparable baseline for a non-war period, but I would contend that if we did, we would not be seeing such high rates of change,’ said Greenwald.
He said this was the first study of its kind that not only examined increases in religiosity and spirituality during wartime, but also decreases.
