Somewhere down the line, there will be retribution visited upon the people of Israel, sweeping up those who had been working for peace, along with the Palestinians and other groups for that region is one 150 years short on compromise and reconciliation.

Hi Roger. Israel lost the one thing that takes a long time to build and a short time to ruin, their reputation. I can not support the government of Israel now nor ever again. Sadly they need to face the consequences of their actions, they need to admit wrong doing and make retributions for all of it. How can you claim to be civilized people and deliberately shot children? Deliberately starve people, shoot tear gas and bullets at desperate people standing where you told them to stand. How will the people who have done this justify it to themselves and others? How can they call themselves children of god when they are killing the other children of god just for a chunk of dirt, just for a bit of land. They claim god gave it to them, the Palestinians claim the same. Let god itself come here and decide.
I learned the words “Never Again” when I was a young man in the Army in Germany. But I guess that only means “never again to us, but we are free to do it to others”. The circle is complete, the abused have become the abusers. They have dehumanized and committed every act that was done to their people in Germany during the 1930 / 1940s now to the Palestinians. How soon they have forgotten the lesson their ancestors learned. The Jewish people in that place and those times paid with their blood and soul, now they make others pay the same price. They will be looked on the same way. Hugs

It is one of the bitter ironies of History Scottie that those who are persecuted will visit the same style on persecution, often not on those who did it to them, but another group.
There are many in Israel who were dissatisfied with the way things were going before 2023.
The nation may well be rent apart at some stage down the road.

Hi Roger. I agree. I read that the government passed laws that made it illegal to report what they were doing in Gaza. I know one reporter was arrested and I think held in prison for like 6 weeks while there he was threatened with beatings and finical ruin. I would like to think the public at large would not have tolerated the religious zeal of claiming the land by genocide had it been reported. I especially think the normal citizen were not told so maybe they wouldn’t be in favor of the targeting of aid workers, reporters, and children. However just as the US public are responsible for what tRump does, the public of Israel are responsible for what their government does. I am not anti-Semitic and never have been, but I have become firmly anti-Zionist due to the actions of the Israeli government has done over decades to the Palestinians.
Roger it is often that child abuse victims will repeat that victimization on other as both children and adults. If they suffered physical violence they often become violent towards others. The same for sexual abuse victims. That is because the abuse becomes normal to them, it seems that is just the way the world is. But far more abuse victims DO NOT go on to abuse others because they understand and feel it was wrong to be done to them and they don’t want to do that wrong to others. They remember how bad it felt, they remember their own emotions so do not want to repeat them on others.
I was emotionally, physically, and sexually abused. I struggled with anger as I became a young man and Ron complained to me when we first got togehter that if we had a disagreement or argued I would raise my voice and shout agressivly. That was because I was taught through living / watching in my childhood that the loudest most agressive person always won and was right. As soon as Ron pointed that out to me I worked hard to change it. I never raise my voice to him now. It took a few years to train it out of me but I did. Luckily I never felt the need or desire to hurt anyone physically or sexually. The painful memories in my mind are something I couldn’t ever inflict on others.
My point is if I a backwards kid / young guy from the cow town country life could see what was right when dealing with other people surely those whose grandparents or parents who suffered such indignity and genocide as the Holocaust and life in the 1930s Germany should have seen how they were treating the Palestinians for 50 years as horribly wrong. They kept these people in an open air prison always tightening their control over them to make their lives more miserable. Did they forget the Warsaw ghetto? Do they have no museums in Israel? Do they not teach what happened to them in their own schools? I think they have no excuse for what they have done and must be held to account for it. Hugs
