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.

Or choice #4, you're full of bullshit. Most people have run into plenty of Jews over the course of their lives. And when your claims don't match reality, what are we to do?

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).

What of the 99.9% of the world who aren't in direct conflict with Israel?
Such as?
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.
