The Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel was truly horrific, but not unlike the “mowing of the lawn” assaults inflicted on residents of Gaza on a semi-regular basis pre-Oct 7. Now Israel inflicts all-out genocide and has begun a similar treatment on the West Bank and Lebanon.
Live by the sword, die by the sword. The Nakba and its 76-year aftermath may double back as karma does and hit Israel when they least expect it. Their only hope is to give peace a chance and to realize the beautiful humanity of the indigenous people of the Holy Land.
The brutality Israel inflicts reminds me of Solomon’s wisdom regarding the true and false mother. As Israel bombs, bulldozes, and tears the heart out of parts of the Middle East, Israel reveals to all who is the true mother, and who would tear the baby apart. Is Israel capable of change? I hope so.
