I find this story very sad and all to human. I have encountered this phenomena repeatedly in historical accounts of war and conflict. Men and women are bent out of shape, have there very essence polluted by hatred and division, and all the while the directors of such deseased spectacles grow rich and ever distant from justice. I feel nothing but compassion for those israelis currently awakening to their higher-selves, it is a painful process coming to terms with abuse, and what they have been ordered to do is certainly an abuse of their human rights, let alone that of the other victims of this abuse - the so called 'enemy'. But they should take strength from the knowledge that every word and action they now commit to right what ever wrongs they have committed is a positive and life affirming step. They have my love and support.
