Really, will it?

I live in Israel. I have been watching the news now for a few hours.

I have seen all that pain.

Will we ever understand how to solve problems without confrontaitons and violence?

What do we teach our choldren?!
That death in war is heroical? then they go, kill otheres, (like they killed us) and die themselves?!

Where are we as a human kind? What the heck are we doing? Where do we lead our future?!

It will end.

Israel is the center of the world; we are all watching what takes place. Be safe.

Unfortunatly not anytime soon, I wish I could be more optimistic but its looking grim. I feel great sorrow for the inocent people on all sides of this conflict.

The ongoing struggle there is indicative of a much larger struggle worldwide. One that pits the idea of self-determination against the complete surrender of the individual to a collective mindset.

Usually peace always comes at the price of one side or the other winning in absolute terms. Look at some past conflicts:

WW2, Germany was literally laid to waste, the Nazi regime, destroyed
Japan, feared absolute destruction at the hands of our atomic bombs
Vietnam, We left, the NVA overan the South and conquered the country.
Bosnia, peace restored after the serbian nationlist were crushed by NATO

and it goes on and on,

It would be a wonderful world if we truly could simply negotiate peace and comprimise but that is rare event indeed.

Stay safe out there,

TJ

I think it will take something supernatural to change the minds of a large whole nation of people who hates a small nation of people.

This is exactly what i am talking about!

It is all because we are raised up to hate each other. We see waht was done to our people and then we want to fight back we feel hatred.

I felt that myself yesterday - but this time i remembered that it was useless to hate so much

Thank you all for your kind words

You know there are many of us who care deeply for what you are going through......Israel is the center of where everything is going on as sky says.......I completely agree with sky on the fact that I believe it is going to take something beyond our understanding (supernatural if you like) to make the changes that have been set in motion.

Israel is always in my prayers (including your family),
Debbie
