These terrible days 9/10/23 when we are surrounded and overwhelmed by a world-murdering pathological hatred, we would not be overwhelmed by such pathological hatred.
What are its dark roots, how did we fall so deep? 860 murdered in one night.?

Hate is an intense feeling of rejection, opposition, negation, enmity or intense antipathy against an individual, group, object or idea.[1]
Hate is often associated with feelings of anger, disgust and hostility towards the object of hatred, which arouses a desire to stay away from him or harm him.[1] People who feel hatred towards another person do not believe that it is possible to change the relationship with him, or the person himself, therefore it contains within it a desire to hurt and even eliminate the hated person.
sources
The hatred may stem from fear (justified or not), from feelings of inferiority, from repeated harm which is perceived as being directed by evil characteristics, from negative perceptions towards that object or anything related to it. Hate does not arise from a single action or injury, but from basic characteristics of the object of hatred. Hatred may arise towards the stranger and the other, whose behavior is incomprehensible, strange and even frightening.
Hate can be associated with prejudice, bigotry and denunciation of a person or a group of people, as in the phenomenon of racism. Hate crimes are hate crimes, in this sense.
Sometimes, the emotion of hatred removes moral barriers towards the hated object, and gives a person permission to take all measures against that object (even if violent). In the absence of a way to express anger and hatred, they tend to build up and accumulate. The danger that at some point a breaking point may be reached, where they will express themselves aggressively and violently.
Hate is considered the opposite of love or friendship. Emotions close to the emotion of hate are emotions such as loathing and contempt. Synonyms for this emotion are: hostility, enmity, hatred and strife, which indicate different degrees and extremes in the severity of hatred. However, sometimes hate and love are intertwined. And sometimes love can turn to hate. As described in the act of Amnon and Tamar: “And Amnon hated her, a very great hatred, because great is the hatred that is hated, from love that is loved” (Book of Samuel 2, chapter 13, verse 15).
Although this emotion is denounced and considered extremely negative, it can play a role in the physical survival of collectives, as it can serve as a mobilizing factor for individuals in wars against the enemy. Hate helps a person decide who he should be around, and who to confront. Hate can also consolidate one group through a common hatred for another group and thus help preserve collective identity and intergroup behavior. On the other hand, it can increase the hatred on the other side, and as a result lead to the worsening of the conflict and not to its abatement, to the continuation of the war and difficulties in achieving a ceasefire and peace arrangements.
in culture

In religion and culture, hatred is considered a negative emotion, which spells disaster for its owner. In some religions, hatred is even considered a sin.
On the other hand, in the social sciences and political science, hatred is seen as a public emotion that is easy to manipulate for the purposes of the government and as the main way to motivate the public and influence it. Dictator regimes base their rule partly on hate propaganda against an external enemy. For example, in Nazi Germany and Arab countries, the Jews and later the State of Israel were presented as enemies, in a way that made it possible to channel public anger at the failed government away from the tyrant, to the outside.
in philosophy and psychology
According to the philosopher Baruch Spinoza, there are three basic emotions: passion, joy and sadness. Hatred is derived from these emotions. According to Spinoza, “hate is sadness accompanied by an idea of an external cause”. Meaning: we hate what we think makes us feel sad. Although this definition was derived in a (pseudo) logical manner from the principles of his theory of immanence (volumes 1-3 of his book “Ethics”), its intuitive correctness is quite clear and it provides a sharp insight into the nature of hatred. It should be emphasized that for Spinoza almost all negative emotions are a form of sadness, for example: fear is an unstable sadness, born from an idea that causes us sadness and that we are not sure if it will come true.
The father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud defined hatred “as an ego state that wishes to destroy the source of its unhappiness”. The psychoanalyst and philosopher Erich Fromm distinguishes between two types of hatred: the first is a rational response hatred and the second is a hatred inherent in character. In response hate is a person’s response to a threat to his freedom, life, or ideas of himself or others. This hatred has an important biological function, with the aim of protecting life, or essential interests, and it passes through danger. This hatred is a companion of the wish for life. On the other hand, hatred that is inherent in the character, is a constant willingness that nestles in the soul of the hostile person by nature. It is a hatred that is not rational, a gratuitous hatred that clings to any pretext that gives it room to express itself, and disguise itself as rational hatred. With this hatred, man wishes to express his hostility, with the desire to destroy or kill life, when its essence lies in the character of the person, and the object of hatred has only a secondary importance.[2]
Legal issues
In the English language, hate crime usually refers to criminal acts that appear to be motivated by hate. Those who commit hate crimes choose their victims because of their membership in a social group. This group is usually defined by race, sex, religion, sexual orientation, disability, status, ethnicity, nationality, age, gender identity, or political affiliation. These incidents may involve physical assault, destruction of property, bullying, harassment, verbal violence or insults, or offensive graffiti or hate letters. In American law, these types of crimes are treated with extreme severity.
