[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I watched a webinar recently with speakers from a range of perspectives on this issue (Israeli former IDF, Palestinian with family in Gaza, American human rights advocate, American of Jewish descent, etc) and the one line that stuck out to me was “peace is not going to be achieved through war”.  The webinar also highlighted the impact of trauma and how that has affected behavior of both Israelis and Palestinians.  At least the step taken with a recognition of a Palestinian state moves the region closer to peace.  Isn’t that what we all want for the people living in the region?

I also wonder every time someone labels Palestinian groups as terrorists how one sided this label is.  Israel has killed and imprisoned many many multiples of Palestinians both through the current war and all through the past.  To simply label the groups that step forward in leadership roles for Palestinians as terrorists seems overly simplistic to me.

You don’t think terrorist is an appropriate word for people who celebrate the kidnap, rape, torture, and murder of civilians at music festivals? Surprise, surprise. [/quote]

And even after what Hamas did on 10/7, it's amazing how Israel still came out looking like the @ssh0les.[/quote]
