| Ash, the post was not specifically directed to you, I did not identify all who I desired to get information from in my first post -- sorry about that.
If you begin with the establishment of Israel as a nation after WWII and continue to the present and include all the arguments on either side, I think you can come up with the conclusion that the whole of the area is not worth the deaths that have resulted on either, let alone both sides.
I realize that there are great differences of opinion as to "exactly" what is what and whose is whose, but can those differences be resolved without the violence? Current events suggest not.
How to resolve the issues is truly beyond my ability to either concieve or achieve. This does not seem to be a "black/white" issue, nor does it seem that either side is without some justification --- what is amazing to me is that there is no end to what I consider to be needless violence.
Whatever boundaries were established have apparently been the subject of the ongoing dispute.
I am just amazed that a lot of folks think that if they cannot have what they want, they might as well kill themselves. What a loss. Worse is that they want to randomly take other people's lives as well.
I think the real issue is to at least stop the insantiy, all it seems to do is generate more insanity. |
