About War
The Jewish people, Muslims, Christians, Israeli’s, Palestinians, Iranians, and Americans are all just people.
The biggest difference is they grow up with different stories about themselves and others.
They have different heroes and villains, different understandings and misunderstandings, yet at its core they have similar wants.
The way to peace is in understanding that.
Because when you do the answer doesn’t become killing, it becomes talking, listening, and nonviolently demanding fair treatment and the right to live a dignified life freely.
It’s hard to do. Fighting makes more sense on the surface, but at depths it is useless. Because in truth “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that” — Martin Luther King Jr.
