A new understanding of the Stockholm syndrome and the future of the world.

It must be recognized that the factor of the so-called Stockholm syndrome is now relevant from the point of view of forecasts and analysis of what will eventually happen to Israel and Palestine.

Let me remind you that Stockholm syndrome is a term in psychology that describes a protective-unconscious traumatic connection, mutual or one-sided sympathy that arises between the victim and the aggressor in the process of capture, abduction and (or) the use of threats or violence.
Under the influence of a strong experience, hostages begin to sympathize with their captors, justify their actions and ultimately identify with them, adopting their ideas and considering their sacrifice necessary to achieve a "common" goal.

I do not agree with all of the above causes and mechanisms of the Stockholm syndrome. My research has shown that a hostage with the Stockholm syndrome does not have traditional sympathy and empathy for the aggressor, that is, in the true understanding of these human phenomena. Moreover, my analysis showed that the sympathy and sympathy of such a victim is only behavioral and external in nature. In fact, empathy and sympathy for the aggressor is a manipulative instinct of playing with the aggressor. The manipulative instinct and the unconscious defensive reaction aimed at the formation of illusions by a person for himself and for others, I studied deeply back in 1997 in the monograph "Illusionism of personality as a new philosophical and psychological concept".
Consequently, most likely, the victim turns, thanks to his unconscious reaction, only into an actor who plays the role of sympathizer and sympathizer, and plays this role well. And the better this role is played by the victim, the easier the emotional state of the victim. In essence, there is often a disguised psychological calculation of the victim that sympathy and sympathy can cause the aggressor to soften in aggressive manifestations towards the victim. It would be incorrect not to take into account the share of these processes in the analysis and occurrence of the Stockholm syndrome. Especially in the current situation of Israel and Palestine. It is on this that the political state of the society suffering within the framework of the Palestine-Israel conflict will depend. This defensive cunning manipulative game of society will determine the future in the Middle East and around the world. It is with this that the whole complexity of the situation in the Middle East and around the world will be connected. To understand the essence of what is happening, I will need to take into account the above patterns. This should especially be taken into account when the aggressor is a Hegemon, and the victim is underdeveloped resource countries.
