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 cor</span><span lang="EN">e of the entire conflict. </span><span
lang="EN"></span><span lang="EN"> 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>
</span><span lang="EN">Similarly - and even worse - the in</span><span
lang="EN">ability 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>
