Dehumanization goes both ways and the medicine is re-humanizing both the oppressed and the oppressor. This former Israeli occupation soldier discusses the long-term impact of dehumanization on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He reveals that both Israeli soldiers and citizens have been reducing Palestinians to numbers for over 75 years, leading to a lack of empathy and understanding.

The soldier shares his personal experience of feeling dehumanized and powerless during his service, drawing parallels to the SS commander in "The Zone of Interest," who lived a mundane life while his family heard screams and gunshots from a concentration camp nearby. The speaker believes that this dehumanization of self is a generational issue for Israelis, leading to a cycle of victimhood and oppression that diminishes the humanity of all involved. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing our own capacity for dehumanization and the need to identify with all people and the natural world to prevent repeating the same actions.
