Re: More Hate
Dear Meira,
In response to 47569 you stated that you place a high reliance upon the words that the Palestinians and Militant Muslims wish all Jews dead. I suggest a large part of the issue is respect and opportunity. It is difficult humans to ask for respect, when Respect should be extended vountarily, if it is deserved.
So there is a Human Semantics foible.
Why MUST Jews retaliate forcefully against Militant Muslims? Why MUST Israeli Police continue to treat Palestinians rudely at checkpoints and administer on the spot beatings? Why can't Israel take the lead in establishing Rehabilitation programs leading to the skills of prosperity for Palestinians as alternative to Israeli jails..
Palestinians feel disrespected, and other Militant Muslims feel there is a cause to be championed. The African-Americans in the US in the 1960's felt disrespected and systematically disadvantaged. Tyrany and oppression to be fought.
We need to find a way to diminish the feeling and appearance of Tyranny.
We need a way to channel and increase prosperity for Palestinians.
There was trouble in the inner cites of the United Stes in the 1960's. "KILL WHITEY" was a popular phrase. There was looting, burning and occasionally a shooting of the White business owners of Black Neighborhood convenience stores.
The response by the U.S. was not to bulldoze their houses. The respons was arrest and investment in programs to assist offenders to become assimilated into the cyhcle of prosperity. "War on Poverty" and efffective Substance Abuse programs and alternatives to prison, turned the corner.
