Violence begets violence
I can't watch the events in the Middle East at the moment and think that the past evils done on the Jewish population in Europe, including "collective guilt for the murder of Jesus" as the Jewish community were charged with during the many pogroms against them, has some how proved the old saying 'Violence begets violence'.
Sadly it seems that human nature is not to learn from the past but to repeat it. The Jewish people were dehumanised and their lives' treated as worthless and now? They do the same to the people of the Lebanon, innocent as a collective group. Can this conflict be see as anything other than racist aggression? Forget all the talk of boarders and NATO forces, this can surely only end when all sides accept that a person is a person, an individual and no people are worth "more" than others.
