Israel to free 12-year-old Palestinian girl held in prison

These terrible examples remind us how intransigent this issue really is. What happens if peace is declared next week, next month?

Multiple generations of humans taught to hate will be out of an ax to grind... or not. It would take generations to remedy the human hate that is inculcated into these communities, at all levels, every aspect of life- the spiritual, the military, the economic, the social, the interpersonal- ALL! The likelihood of Israel ever having neighbors they can work with is non-existent; its an exercise that must intentionally overlook the fact that peace will never have the support of the constituency. The notion that peace can be obtained with the local arabs and isreal is really code for Israel's self destruction under the guise of "peace." They will never accept peace with Israel. A girl like this could be saved, should be saved from the future drilled into her. But her story is repeated on every street, in every family, year after year for generations.

Some may not understand the below video and its context but it is a great statement on what I talk about above. While the comedian uses racism as his vehicle the point remains- hatred that is bred into people remains for a long, long time and the children of today will evidence their hatred long into the future.

Must be a real threat to keep a 12-year old handcuffed girl at gun point...

If are going to show us Israeli brutality photos you can surely can find something with better resolution, you can scarcely make out whether that's a girl or a monkey sat there. I guess a quick replacement was needed for the obviously fake Pallywood photo first posted here. Edited April 12, 2016 by Steely Dan

In the bigger picture, all that's happening in the M.East stems from overpopulation. That region has had its resources destroyed (except for some fish from the sea) thousands of years ago. It's not hard to imagine similar scenarios blighting other regions of the world. It's already happening in other parts of the Middle East, north Africa, Bangladesh and other places where there are way too many people than the terrain can carry.

Civil discussions (towards problem solving) and making less babies are the two best things that miserable people in those regions can do. Next on the list: recycling, using less resources, developing cheap alternative power, smarter growing of food (hydroponic, drip irrigation, mulching, etc). Also: music, art, dance, sports, play, magic shows, - particularly when both sides join in such activities. Example: football matches, but instead of Palestinians vs Israelis, appoint a number to each of 22 players. Put numbered scrips of paper in a hat, and pull them out at random, thereby have each team comprised of mixed players.

One of the worst things people in that region can do is make children's shows like that awful video production shown above. That's like pouring petrol on a fire. It does nothing but create more harm for all involved. It would be like a cook in a school putting broken glass in the communal porridge bowl. It's worse than disgusting. Note: some Palestinians are Christian. When people get close to true liberation, they realize they don't need to adhere to any religion, but that's too far ahead of the thinking ability of most of the people in that region. Without their belief systems, they'd feel nude. Added note: nudity is liberating.
