Let your heart lead. This is not a time to choose sides. This is the time to choose being human. Hamas, or whoever ignited this fuse, acted outside of their humanity when they brutally attacked Israeli civilians. What the Israeli government and military are doing is also acting outside of their humanity.
Today we listen to the blame and denials of who caused hundreds of children to be killed by a rocket blast to a hospital. More time is spent on the blame game than on the rescue. That is outside of our humanity.
President Biden’s calculated error was to whole-heartedly support Israel without noting the consequences from such an unequivocal stand. Seeing the inhuman disregard for life by the Israeli government, the administration has attempted to interrupt the mistake, with little success. Mainstream media is happy to fuel the fire with slanted journalism and our citizenry is complicit in ignorance. But we can change this.
The families of those held hostage are wondering why ceasefire and negotiations are not front and center to recover their loved ones.
We have too quickly pledged our allegiance. The allegiance should be to our humanity, not to a side. The consequences will continue to spiral, until we once and for all end the disregard of human life. And we can do this.
Our government is playing a very dangerous game. Whether politics, or greed, religious dogma or sheer ignorance are driving the bus, we are heading for another horrible nightmare.
Have we not learned from the lies that led us into the Iraq war? Have we not witnessed the folly of avenging violence with more violence?
There is only one side to take. It’s the human side. Help end the madness. Not prolong it.
I am not sure the source of this photo. but if you cannot appreciate the innocence in it, please reconsider what matters most in Life. We are here but for such a short time and we leave this bit of heaven to those who come after us. Think. And act with Love. The choice is always ours.
