One of the first things that most parents want their children to learn is that two wrongs don’t make a right. Just now it might be helpful if some of our world leaders could remember that simple lesson. “They started it” is rarely a good excuse for killing innocent people.
One of the few genuinely statesman like pronouncements that has been made about what is happening in the Middle East came from Joe Biden. After the grotesque murders of so many Israeli people, he advised the Israeli government not to make the same mistake that America made after 9/11. That was a pretty astute observation for a man some want us to believe has become completely gaga.
The people of Palestine have exactly that same right. In a complex conflict with a long history it is naïve and dangerous to believe that there can be a once and for all victory for a particular side. Those who are calling for a cease fire and a two state solution are the realists. It is no great secret that there are significant numbers of people in the Middle East and beyond who want to wipe out the state of Israel.
