What a video.

The fear has been funneled into the evolution of policies that are actually destructive to those that have been traumatized…then the response becomes irrational. It is like a cycle of violence…they killed us…so we have to kill them more…they kill us more…so we have to overkill them…eradicate them. They are becoming the very mindset that killed them during WWII… Well, I knew that already…the thing is…how to stop the cycle of fear and revenge. </p> <p>Seriously, I keep saying…we need a psychological commission on people suffering from war crimes…all war crimes. People are just people trying to survive. Their reaction is understandable, considering the history. The reaction and actions of the Palestinians is every bit as valid…that is the missing link…the world seems to place the Israeli actions somehow more valid because of the magnitude of their losses in WWII, but consider this….6 million were Jewish…5-6 million that were killed during WWII were not..they were political dissidents, gypsies, gay, etc. Where is their voice? Violence against humanity is a crime against humanity, no matter what ethnicity you are…not to mention what has happened in Africa and the Balkans…Murder is murder. We are humanity…not segmented beings…No one person is “more” precious than any other. Period.</p> Wow. What a video.
