There are certainly elements within the human condition which reflect our evolutionary history. For me, they do not manifest as absolutes, but rather as tendencies, often linked to emotional states. These include aggressive behaviour, especially to out groups, but also many types of co-operative behaviour. The dark side of our nature is always potentially there, but can be modified by culture and reason.

And our emotional states are linked to our environment, and to our antecedent experiences. We don't just start raging spontaneously do we? We don't find ourselves pondering which salad dressing to buy at the supermarket and then suddenly find ourselves overwhelmed by the urge to "KILL THEM!! KILL THEM ALL!!!!". We are not in a perpetual war of all against all.

"Spain summons Israeli envoy over interception of Gaza-bound activist boat
By Lazar Berman


Spain summons Israel’s chargé d’affaires in Madrid, Dan Poraz, over the interception of the Madleen ship overnight as it made its way toward Gaza.

The reprimand will take place in the early afternoon, says an Israeli official." https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ ... vist-boat/

In the UK Israel is beginning to not put a spokesperson up for news orgs and journalists it decides are disrespectful &/or antisemitic.
