Palestine: Dishonouring the Struggle

It is sad to read about the increasing regularity of attacks in Israel by Palestinians acting on their own. It's tragic for the victims and sadly futile by the perpetrators. Whether it's motivated by vengeance or a sense of frustration it doesn't achieve any benefit. They just feed into the ignorance of extremist Palestine factions who use terrorism as a way to maintain their own relevance and raise funds to continue their dastardly campaigns. The extremists are refusing to learn a lesson most infants learn in primary school. And that is, there is nothing to be gained in trying to fight it out with a bully who is bigger and stronger than you. No matter how hot the tears of righteous indignation and frustration burn. Without peace Palestine will never experience freedom nor vindication.

  1. Pay any price for peace is a phrase most leaders should learn, the more violence in a country the less stable it becomes. Since most violence surfaces from religious fanatics, I will say the more liberal a country, the more peaceful.
