Good morning, This is a potpourri of musings about the situation in Gaza (and after this I hope to take a break from this topic for a while). There’s enough here to offend just about everyone… HOW THE PARTIES APPROACH THE ISSUES As much as the actual issues involved, one cannot underestimate the historic memories of the parties involved and how these “memories” act to interpret events and determine policy. Right now, for every event that happens, there are multiple ways to interpret that event.
I really like how you organised your thoughts and ideas... but do you really not think that yesterday’s attack on the refugee camp was genocide ? You asked if it’s ok ok to kill one to save many ... here they killed many innocent civilians to get one .. Israel, whom we always heard has the best intelligence and army in the world.. ( obviously not true anymore) but with every advanced technology that they have access to.. this was the only way to get the one Hamas operative ???? I would love to see the demise of Hamas .. they are brutal evil thugs... but not in this way
I have always viewed Israeli’s treatment of the Palestinians as horrible and inhumane and wonder how a persecuted people can now persecute.. ( I am a Jewish woman btw)
I am always amazed and dismayed how many of my liberal NY Jewish friends.. who fight for human rights for everyone else but turn their gaze away from the total inhumanity of Israel’s treatment of the Palestinian civilians..
