Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your knowledge, Carla. I feel the same. Where this is continued oppression, there will ultimately be a violent response. But not all people are the oppressors and not all of the oppressed are terrorists. Most Israelis and Palestinians simply want to co-exist and have a peaceful existence. But this can not happen without a balance of power. I pray for wisdom for leaders to arrive at a resolution that enables all their people to live together peacefully and with the same rights and freedoms.
"I suppose this is how all atrocities happen, in plain light for all to see." Chills. A brilliant piece on such a difficult topic to write about.
Many thanks for this piece, Carla--the links/resources, too. Very helpful. Best to you two--I hope all is well in your world.

Great article Carla. I feel the same way as you about this conflict and extremism in general
