<p class=MsoNormal>Your rejoinder is extremely ironic. I read the
statement "<span lang=EN>I am not the one living in poverty in Gaza"
as a disclaimer of experience, and as such, an implicit statement of compassion
and a declaration and admission of the writer's inability to fully appreciate
the depth of the despair. In MY book, this strikes a chord of compassion
that is more convincing than most platitudes.<br>
<br>
I think the lacking of appreciation for the circumstances of the Other is at
the core of the entire conflict. It is what enables Israeli
leadership and its supporters to rationalize the brutal effects of actions such
as the current military incursion. It is what enables the Palestinian
populace to elect leadership that is avowed to the annihilation of its
neighboring state.<br>
<br>
Similarly - and even worse - the inability or unwillingness to just understand
each others' statements impedes progress toward resolution. </span><br>
<span lang=EN><br>
So if you are calling for compassion let it not be shallow or narrow.<br>
<br>
I apologize for cluttering the biz list.<br>

<p><span lang=EN>Conscience is the motor that drives any business. Proclaiming
'I am not the one living in poverty in Gaza' does not strike that cord of
compassion, at least in my book. One might even be tempted to say I am not the
guy sitting on the 82nd floor of WTC on 9/11. Let's be compassionate ...guys !
If it can happen to them so it can happen to any one of us. We are just
fortunate not be be born or live in that particular section of the world.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
