The Eternal Struggle

The most useful comment I have about the mid-east is that the only way out of this mess is shame. First, the Israeli state can find a way to publically care about Arab life thus shaming the terrorist calculus of 10 Arabs = 1 Jew and shaming the Arab political class, who seem to get endless political clout out of keeping their populace from noticing how little they value Arab life. Second, it is my small opinion that any Arab who advocates for non-defensive harm against Israelis must think that Arabs are worth 1 tenth of a Jew too. As is quoted by the late great Frank Herbert in the beginning of his 5th Dune story, in his Ode to his wife, REVENGE IS FOR CHILDREN. Of course I mean that revenge is a completely selfish need which can NEVER be acted on for someone elses benifit. The culture of revenge apparently makes for great politics (keeps em angry) on both sides of the line, but my message for anyone who claims to support the state of Israel is that it must be seen that 6million Israelis surrounded by 50million Arabs can only lead to the destruction of Israel if this tit for tat continues too long.
