(28,769 posts)if they quit, will Israel stop too? i could totally get behind that.
i just went and ranted at my son because i regret even posting anything - the arguments are all so circular. in that part of the world all of the children are being brought up on hate. if they could just somehow relinquish the hate then...peace might be possible.
isn't almost everyone in the world as weary of war as i am?
the children don't come by their hate naturally. it happens here too just doesn't end up being so deadly as frequently. what is it about human nature that says we have to have someone somewhere to be better than? to be more worthy than? i don't believe that! we are all worthy. put two children in a room and they will not gravitate toward hating each other - even if one is dark and one is light, or one celebrates christmas and one celebrates ramadan, or pesach. they will naturally want to play together. they will not naturally want to kill each other.
again, thank you for being reasonable and respectful. it is too rare in this discussion.
