University Protests against the Israeli Incursion into Palestine

[Leonardo17]

Back to the subject:

I recently saw the pictures of that Israeli woman behind a pickup truck. I usually try to avoid visual news stories when they are too graphic. Needles to say that it’s rather normal for Israelis to do exactly what they are doing.

But no one seems to have a plan for a more durable solution in that region. I see all the population of the entire region as being trapped between a Jewish types of fundamentalism (messianic approaches that do not correspond to the reality of our world) and an Islamic brand of fundamentalism (which, as I tried to explain in all of my posts, has nothing to do with any type of spirituality that I know of).

In the colonial era and even as late as the 60’s this entire area was something. Cities like Beirut, Tehran, Cairo, Kandahar, and Baghdad were rather nice places to live in. Today you could nuke the whole place and no one will notice.

Beyond any other issue, people have lost the feeling of being civilized. I think the whole world has to meditate on that aspect of the problem.
