Reading about the latest range of war traumas today, from the killing of Oxfam-affiliate water engineers by IDF, to the destruction of olive trees & a woman harvesting them by WB settlers, to many dozens lately slaughtered in the north...
It is painful to know this will only end when the extremists win.
So many *here*, as there, do not a flying F about the lives shattered.
They're just not *people* to those who think fulfillment of violent prophecy is the best solution for all.
@MLClark How much different is any of this, than the crusades over 1K years ago. The irony is it's the "holy" land
"Holy" in this case meaning full of holes: vacuums of life and decency that riddle our long, agonizing history of tribalism.
No different at all. We are a frightfully small species, at the end of the day. 🫂
