Your observation's correct. Many Jews abhor what's happening since they aren't Zionists. Jews per se aren't the fanatics; rather, it's the Zionists who have always been that way. Fanatic, exceptionalist ideologies have developed several times over the course of human history and caused great damage and massive carnage. The Crusades are but one example. The Outlaw US Empire's Manifest Destiny is another example. Zionism and Nazism are others. All have similar core "values"/mindsets. And there are others that interact with them. There are psychologists and sociologists who specialize in the study of those groups and their dynamics, but I'm not one of them, although I do know a few important aspects as they relate to my area of study.
As you'll have read at the end of Lavrov's address to Russia's fledgling diplomats, the fundamental basis for relations is acceptance of all as equals--nations as well as individuals. And that's still a radical concept many have yet to accept, and that breeds chaos and conflict. How to get people to accept that premise is an ongoing problem, and there doesn't seem to be any magic solution. When I taught, I referred to the Broadway show and subsequent Movie "South Pacific" which has a very important theme that's delivered in one particular scene and song about having been "Carefully Taught," which was something the powers the be at the time tried very hard to get excised from the production, but the producers steadfastly refused. And you've probably surmised that it's about the issue of equality and how we are carefully taught during our upbringing who to hate and fear--peoples, nations, ideas, etc. All these years later, the musical was performed from 1949 onward, that message remains very powerful and true. Here's the link to its Wiki bio if you're unfamiliar with it as many are, with that particular song having its own internal link as you'll see, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Pacific_(musical)
I'm noticing how so many children's movies are about dominance, violence and royalty -- an education indeed about who matters, who doesn't and how disputes are settled. It starts at a very early age, doesn't it? Thanks for the link to South Pacific. I'll watch it one of these days when I have the time.
The reason I sought a second career in education was to try and make a difference in the world, a choice that was made before 911. As I've aged, the realization of how we're manipulated by media has widened. Knowing how the Catholic (Universal) church has operated since @150AD is also very important as it was the "media" until 1900, and even later in many instances. One of the most important and intriguing courses I took in College was Cognitive Psychology, which is about how we learn, with Linguistics being a close second and dealt with how we learn our native language(s).
When you finally watch "South Pacific," you'll see there are several themes running though the show, which is set during WW2. IMO, it's a timeless production, stage or screen. It's good you see the manipulation happening as not everyone can.
