Vineeto: What exact events are you referring to when you say “misdeeds and tragedies”, “abominations”, which you do not want to sweep “under the rug”? Just curious.
Henry: Primarily the genocides (link)
Ha, you are not talking by chance of the so-called genocide of the Palestinians, are you?
Those darlings of the bleeding-heart denizens who blindly come to the rescue of those who cry ‘foul’ the loudest but are nevertheless fervently interested in keeping the conflict going as long as it benefits them?
If this is the “genocide” you are referring to, then a thorough research into the history of the conflict between the two feuding groups is called for, and it is again not easy to ascertain the historical facts as each party is having their own heavily biased narrative.
I wouldn’t want to be an arbiter but fortunately I don’t have to be. The only fact which I could determine was that, given the state of Israel was created where it was by the winners of the Second World War, the inhabitants of this nation have as much a right to exist and prosper as their opponents do, yet it is their opponents who want to fully and permanently drive them out from where they live and have vowed for decades to extirpate all of their inhabitants. With such deep and long-lasting indoctrinated hate any peaceful solution is presently impossible until they manage to get themselves a different leadership and create an opportunity for a new generation of a different, less violently inclined, more tolerant, more informed and more intelligent people.
Douglas Murray (link) gives quite a reasoned, fact-based, less passionate than usual account for one side of the present conflict. I haven’t found a non-passionate appeal for the other side – that is up to you to find.
Let me know if you were referring to other “genocides”.
Cheers Vineeto
