Yes,
I am a Jew who once gave Israel my entire support until most especially
now with Trump doing the unthinkable making Jerusalem the capital of
Israel knowing it would provoke violence around the world and ostracize
this nation from humanity's hug once again. Of course, it
has provoked violence most especially in Gaza but even in NYC where the transit bomber
said that Trump's
words on Jerusalem, in part, compelled him to strap a bomb around his
body
and attempt to blow the subway rail line up and innocents with it.
Horrific
and though the event small I suspect it brought chills down the spines
of those of us who lived through
9/11 and even ones who did not. Any bomb exploded in NYC does that to
me. I paste the video link below entitled "Growing up in the Gaza Strip
in the Dark" because I have reexamined the Palestinian plight which I
have done
periodically throughout the years but never more so then now.
Listen to that story linked below and
empathize with the conditions that provoke so many Gazans to violence when
desperation reigns and the fatal Trumpian Injustice Disease spreads.
I wish, though wishes will not make it so, both sides would take a breath and come to
compromise for a two state solution where each major religion shares a
part of Jerusalem and two states one Palestinian and one Israeli, share it as its capital. What would the sound of the silence of peace feel
like? Nirvana defined in part by Webster's Dictionary as "place or state of oblivion to care or pain," .... to that I say Amen!
