I dont have to. They.bring it on themselves. My whole lifetime its been this same shit. Death and revenge. That old eye for an eye is working out so well for everybody, right? Hate and revenge is all Ive seen there my whole life, the only time I my life that I felt there was any type of spiritual hope, where the politicians were acknowledging that peace is the only solution, one of those politicians was assassinated by a right wing wacko who wanted to maintain the status quo.
There are loud voices on both the Israeli and Palestinian citizen level who want peace and Justice.. Thats hard without love and respect. The US needs to only support leaders wh will make that leap of faith. Leaders who wont let the crazies on both sides derail the goal.
When President Biden comes out and said that my country supports Israel unconditionally, I am glad that we have voices in our country who point out that there are two sides that are behaving baldly on an ongoing basis. I Acknowledge the geopolitical balance of power in the region is three dimensional chess, but it would be wonderful of we could throw our full support only to those who aspire to peace. That is the spirit that I look for in the dialogue around these horrible goings on. There is no room for antisemitism or racism or violence. One love.
