Persecution and cruelty feed the human spirit and are the manure from which patriotism and nationhood are forged.
The Roman treatment of the early Christian community and the German Concentration camps of the Second World War did not wipe out Christianity or Judaism but resulted in the worldwide spread of Christianity and the establishment of the Israeli State, for example.
So what is the likely outcome of inflicting continuing human suffering on innocent Palestinians and Gazan civilians ?
Israel's Prime Minister says, 'they left us with no alternative'. But there is always an alternative.
Peace with our neighbours comes through dialogue & respect not aggression and cruelty.
