Pigs should fly. They don't. Plan B?
Before we move to plan B let us examine the assumption that pigs should fly. Suppose black people have to ride in the back of the bus in some country where all people are said to be equal. What would the logical next step be, that Blacks should not be, that Blacks can only drive cars with controls in the back seat? When you scrape away all the horse manure bigotry that surrounds the Palestinian Israeli issues, it a legitimate legal issue remains. Shouldn't a country do it's military training on land it owns and the ownership of which is legally settled?
Even if some colors of people are superior to others, practice democracy or go to church, have better government, are less hypocritical, etc, etc etc in all the often delusional superior ways the people tell themselves, does that give them the right to force inferior people to ride in the back of the bus? Don't you think that morally superior people are obliged to demonstrate it by acting toward the others as if they were just as superior? Otherwise, it would seem to me, that we are left always with the ends justify the means.
Twelve years? And we know that justice delayed is justice denied. Didn't Jesus come to tell the Jews they would not be saved by law alone?
The greatest force for good in the Jewish world is other Jews. They have a system of beliefs where some times in some places a sense of justice emerges which corresponds to our deepest humanity. It would be nice of plan B were to insure that the life experiences of Palestinians does the same.
There are no Jews and there are no Palestinians. We are all the same.
The mind that sees difference is a mind that divides. The mind that sees sameness is a mind that unites.
