great comment on indybay

The right path isn't always the
by easiest one

It only goes to show the desperation of life living under the occupation that people, especially young people, are willing to give up their lives in resistance.


It is tragic to live in a society without hope.
What matters is how you deal with it. Do you choose the path of King and Gandhi, or do you choose the path of violence and war?
I am reminded of the Jews after World War II. Their homes were gone. Their families were gone. They had nothing left and nothing to live for. Rather than seeking revenge against their tormentors, the reminding Jewish population sought to peacefully re-establish their lives.

There is always a choice. Choose peace.

And, it would be very condescending to assume that just because they hail from a different culture, they have no personal responsibility...

And don't you just love their government? Oh yeah, Hamas is definitely moderating. Check out this state sponsered commercial, and prepare to be disturbed: http://www.pmw.org.il/asx/PMW_duraClip2006.asx

Oh, and I was at the rally that is pictured. I still haven't calmed down, I can still feel the hatred of Jess Ghannam's crowd. I'll post later.
