Thanks for the great take on the situation. My response is that most people can only think binary. It is easier to take and justify a side: black/white, rich/poor, old/young, new/old, right/wrong, freedom fighter/terrorist. I could go on. People do not understand nuance, persistence, righteousness, and discipline. People are more alike than different. Until we come to a place of tolerance AND acceptance, conflicts will continue. It makes me scratch my head as to why I must have chosen this time and place to incarnate. Perhaps it was to meet people like you and affect some change. Keep up the good fight. Be the change. I am there with you.

Thank you for this thoughtful essay. You've articulated what I've been struggling to articulate.

Curious to hear your thoughts on how this applies interpersonally - ie family members who cut themselves off from family because they haven't made public statements about Palestine, etc.
