#Manipulating people is never a good idea. Its hard to unlearn that and relearning #compassion. White people have done this my whole life and it's #traumatized me. Treat humans, humanely.
"Presumptive statements like “You sound as if you’re 25 to 30”, will often lead the other person to respond with a confirmation like, “Yes, I’m 30”, or a correction, “I’m 35”. Another approach might be to use quid pro quo, where offering personal details of your own life usually results in reciprocation."
> Netanyahu In 2001: 'America Is A Thing You Can Move Very Easily'
As noted in Haaretz, #Netanyahu seems to boast of his knowledge of the US by saying, "I know what America is. America is a thing you can move very easily, move it in the right direction. They won't get in their way."
He also boasts of #manipulating the U.S. in the ongoing peace process, as the Washington Post points out:
In the year since #RoeVWade was overturned, the #Republican Party has tested out constantly changing talking points & messages on #abortion in an attempt to make its anti-abortion policies sound less #extreme. #Conservatives are even considering moving away from the term “#ProLife,” fearing that voters have newly negative associations w/the label.
#Republicans hope that by changing the way #Americans talk about #abortion, it might help change the way they feel about abortion — which is, right now, very #ProChoice.
