{"product_id":"wired-to-steal-isbn-9781623715359","title":"Wired to Steal","description":"Since the Hamas assault of October 7, 2023, and for more than two years, Israel has been engaged in what has been described by a consensus of international experts as a genocide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCan Israel’s actions be explained by retribution, “self-defense,” revenge, or the quest to free hostages, or are these narratives masking something deeper? How has Israel’s decades-long occupation of Palestine shaped the violence we are witnessing today?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWired to Steal\u003c\/i\u003e is a powerful blend of investigative narrative, history, and behavioral neuroscience. Cutting through and dismantling propaganda, it\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eexposes how the ruling classes of settler colonial projects hijack the human brain’s fear circuitry, systems of addiction, empathy pathways, and identity\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003emechanisms to make oppression feel normal, even righteous. At its core, the book is about psychological hacking: how political systems are designed to exploit human vulnerability to fear and social belonging in order to turn communities against others, justify mass violence, and conceal theft as self-defense. Zionism is presented here as the most urgent, real-time case study, yet the book’s framework applies to settler colonialism worldwide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on decades of research in neuroscience and extensive historical scholarship, \u003ci\u003eWired to Steal \u003c\/i\u003ecombines vivid storytelling, clear science, and deep moral urgency to reveal the playbook of settler colonialism, and to offer a roadmap for dismantling it.","brand":"Olive Branch Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48684504514789,"sku":"NP9781623715359","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/wired-to-steal-isbn-9781623715359","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
