Goats 'drawn to happy human faces'
Scientists have found that goats are drawn to humans with happy facial expressions. The result suggests a wider range of animals can read people's moods than was previously thought.
The researchers showed goats pairs of photos of the same person, one of them featuring an angry expression, and the other a happy demeanour.
The goats made a beeline for the happy faces, the team reports in the journal Royal Society Open Science.
The result implies that the ability of animals to perceive human facial cues is not limited to those with a long history of working as human companions, such as dogs and horses.
Instead, it seems, animals domesticated for food production, such as goats, can also decipher human facial cues.
[...] But the effect was only significant when the happy-faced photo was placed on the right-hand side.
When the happy photos were placed on the left, the goats showed no significant preference either way.
The researchers think this is because the goats are using one side of their brain to process the information - something that's seen in other animals.
It could either be that the left side of the brain processes positive emotions, or that the right side of the brain is involved in avoidance of angry faces.

Jews consider humans goyim, which means animals. Jews will not smile at non-jews or goats because they consider them the same species. Try smiling at a jew and you will be scorned by the always-supremacist jew.
It is also possible the goats will run when faced with the jew for the jew will take out his knife and cut the goat in half and let it suffer and bleed to death. The goat will also avoid the jew because of the terrible smell those creatures have.
A jew smiling means he just murdered a human as shown here: http://www.subvertednation.net/understanding-parasitic-jews/ [subvertednation.net]
Avoid the racist, supremacist, filthy, scheming jewish rat. This also goes for any unsuspecting goats.

The Palestinians have run into plenty of jews over the course of their lives. And your claims don't match reality, what are they to do?
Also, look at the wars that have been caused by jews over the course of history.
Also, look at the number of times the jews have been expelled from countries, lands: 109 times or more*
Also, see that most jews you run into are khazars who are not jews at all, but fakers.
Also, you sound like a jewish infiltrator who mingles with non-jews to gain their trust and then stab them in the back (as usual).

This is blame the victim rhetoric. In just law, the guilty are punished. In unjust law, well, you get things like 109+ expulsions.
Now, we have the No True Jew fallacy. I will say that peeling back this onion is as interesting as the flat Earther belief system was. Now we have a group of nice, fake Jews.
Got to get that ad hominem in. It's not a real argument without that.

You're a JIDF agent. Your reply was meant to look as a rebuttal from a "normal" user of the site, which it certainly is not.
You might try arguing with what is said (the disinformation agent) instead of attacking the messenger. You are a JIDF agent who is paid by-the-hour (or by post count) to write the garbage you write. You are also garbage yourself. Replying to trolls of your kind is a waste of time as you are paid to write your garbage and we are not.

Goy(גוֹי) is an adjective from the bible that originally meant "nation".
e.g. Genesis 12,2:
Is in the original Hebrew:
When Jews stopped being a nation, everyone else, by default, became Goyim. Which, over time, became non-Jewish.

Where do jews get the idea that they are the chosen ones?
Isn't that extremely arrogant and supremacist (and also ignorant) ?
And as a result considering everyone else non-chosen ones, hence committing crimes against humanity against them. How is that not racist and supremacist (and criminal) ? jewish race is the original racist one.

Specifically? From Exodus 19:5-6 I guess:

( I highlighted another goy usage. Ironically here it described the Israelites )
But it seems you're getting the wrong idea of what it means to be chosen. Not only it doesn't mean other people owe you anything (the only parties to the deal are God and the Jews so only God is responsible to paying back to the Jews), it typically means God might want to give you a little trial to see how good is your faith: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_(biblical_figure) [wikipedia.org]
So rabbis definitely wrote some self-entitled racist nonsense over the years. But everyone did that at the time. Catholics, Muslims and Protestants each passed declarations and rules on how the other factions are headed to hell and should be killed on sight at one time or another. They had specific codes on how you're not obliged to pay a debt to this group or how it's fine take the property of that group and it wouldn't be stealing... But the thing is, those were Church laws. Not the king's laws. And people lived by the kings laws. And Jews weren't an exception.
Overall, I just don't get your point. People are people. Nothing exceptional about Jews other than the circumstances with the exception of the odd genius or two.
