She's on the ground there. You are sitting in America reading pro-Israeli news. She may be a tool but she is at least modeling non-violent behavior. I have no idea about the "truth" there, what I see are two tribes killing each other a pretty good pace and America choosing to be part of it.

This is the part I was thinking about today while wandering in the woods. When we were kids, we were indoctrinated into the fear/hate relationship with the Russians. Now, after all those paranoid thoughts about a pending nuclear exchange, it turns out the Russian people were ok but their government was insane. As a breeder, I'm in a position to not allow that to happen with my own kids. The Soviet Union fell and I've chosen not to take on a new enemy. I don't hate Arabs, Islamists, Israelis, Brits, French, Mexicans, Atheists, Hindus etc... I'm old enough to choose not to participate in any of this hive activity. As confused as I am by collective hate, my own children, having been raised by me, will happily find it incomprehensible.
