There are many grass roots peace initiatives in Israel and Palestine, such as The Parents Circle. Unfortunately, they do not have the loudest voices at the moment.

Anger leads to rage.
Rage leads to suffering.

As we Jedi, and Jesus, like to say.

I wish to make it totally clear that these are a bunch of religious nutters who are in no way related to my Invisible Magic Friend. There’s is the sort of Invisible Magic Friend that would justify all sort of terrible things, like obliterating entire cities, flooding the planet to kill everything, punishing a guy remorselessly for a bet, or inventing a myriad of trivial, pointless rules, violating any one of which can condemn you to death.

My Invisible Magic Friend on the other hand… oh, wait a minute.

Isn’t war terrible. There are lots of very bad adjectives about war. A theologian agrees with me so I must be right.

What we, and by “we” I do of course mean you, need to do is stop talking and listen. There’s too much ill informed babble. Too much pointless noise. Too many opinions without experience. Silence would be better than all this useless jabber.
