ACHIEVING LASTING CHANGE PART 3

While misguided dillpickles engaged in street violence in Australia, thankfully enough intelligent people exist who actually made the effort to engage in constructive action.

Much to my surprise (I am quite happy to have been wrong) the United Nations managed to persuade the Israeli Government to hold off on further aerial assaults for the next two days. Having just killed twenty four or so CHILDREN in the last assaults perhaps some degree of humanity has entered their perspective.

As one who loves the Jewish people I am saddened by the actions of the Israeli government over many years. They have reason to fear their neighbours.....but provocation and antagonism seems to be used even when diplomacy would yield greater benefits.

Having survived millennia of persecution....most noticeably at the hands of the German people and their government (neither of whom have YET shown genuine remorse)...I had hoped they would rise above the barbarism of their persecutors. Sadly they appear to be seeking to outdo them.

I find it harder to argue with people's anti-semitic views when they start to talk about Israel.

I hope Israel will one day find the SHALOM it seeks.
