Don’t a lot of abused children become abusers themselves? I’m not justifying it, but it seems to that it’s the result of inter generational trauma. Not just centuries of oppression and pogroms, not just the Nazi holocaust, but a lot of Israelis came directly from places in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe that were brutally oppressive.
Sinclair: “In order to be free, you had to learn to fight; no one questions that. But you’ve over-compensated. You’re like abused children who have grown big enough to do the same thing to someone else… as if that will somehow balance the scales, it won’t. If you let your anger cloud your judgement, it will destroy you.”
