Israel's Cabinet approves 19 new Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank

11. Self-righteous indignation, the need for revenge, the need to punish . . .

And above all, mistrust of the 'other'.
Seems to be a trademark and mindset of some.

Not talking about the Middle East there, just my observations on the responses to the Bondi beach incident a week ago, here in Australia.

The rage comes from the Jewish people and many politicians here in Australia.

And yet the Jewish community here is strangely silent on the much worse atrocities happening daily in Gaza.
Do they approve perhaps?
Violence over there is fine, but not on Australian soil?

What is worse, there is only blaming and thoughts of punitive retribution in peoples' minds.
There is no analysis into the background or reasons why a father and son would take this drastic action.
The blanket term of Terrorism! covers it all. Or does it?

Anyhow - Israel's intention has always been land clearance and settlement spreading in territory that isn't supposed to be theirs.
