Comment on Zionists doing a rave to block aid trucks at Ker Shalom crossing while Palestinians are starving
livus@kbin.social 7 months ago@chillhelm I guess. There are probably plenty of ordinary humans who empathise with other civilians there too, it's just we don't hear so much about those.
I knew a woman whose husband was held prisoner by the Axis during WWII Her response was to go every weekend to a POW camp of "enemy" soldiers and bring them food, chocolate etc, since they were in the same situation as her husband. That, is also part of human nature, just not the side the war monger$ like to encourage.

That is really the tragedy about the whole thing. A small warmongering minority on both sides pulls in people who really just want to live in peace and safety and have enough to eat, a roof over their head,… who are likely the vast majority on both sides.

Yeah I think so. We get told it's about "religion" but it's really about geopolitical interests and a transnational military industrial complex that constantly stir this stuff up and exploit religious tensions.

It is about religion in the sense that religion makes it much easier for a small number of malicious people to control a large number of people and make them do things against their own interest.

Very true.

Well put. The warmongers kill innocent people. The next of kin want revenge, and empower the warmongers on their side. And onward the circle turns.
It also doesn’t help that the warmongers control the flow of information.
