The current violence in Israel is both tragic and predictable. Unfortunately, it will foment even more violence, as the past seventy-five years have demonstrated.
Whomever you might support is this long conflict, one must admit that arbitrary human boundaries, racism, religion-based intolerance and cultural disrespect have fueled the hatred. An unwillingness to accept the rights of one another is at the heart of this tragedy. Neither party is free of blame.
It is time to focus on the children, innocent and not yet infused with hatred. If only the adults would place their welfare above all other concerns. War kills children too.
