Pedro X. Molina for October 12, 2023

An eye for an eye? We will all be blind.

When revenge is the primary motive of the Repubs, this is the governance they give us.

If the Universe is a balance of good and evil, I’d sure like to see the goodness that’s the equivalent of the evil we’re seeing here on this planet these days.

I have a feeling all this grief the Israelis are experiencing is going to turn in to into absolute rage and vengeance pretty quick.

Trump is now praising Hamas, saying they are “very smart”, and that Isreal “let him down”, and that he’ll never forget that.

Be it personal or country.

“Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.” – Sara Shepar

Succinct yet correct.

“Only a fool fights in a burning house.”

Klingon proverb

The revenge started when Abraham kicked out Hagar and her son Ishmael out of the tent. (very crude summation)

Its not revenge is justice, is Israelite soldiers were raping, killing babies etc then it would be revenge. Revenge and avenge are not the same

From Micah Goodman again – – Israel lives in fear. Arabs do not fear Jews, but deeply resent humiliation. Israeli fear precipitates suppression of Palestinian Arabs, which precipitates humiliation—the machinery of the perpetual horror machine.

RETALIATION

Revenge blinds us to doing the right thing. As I’ve often preached, it’s so easy for us to revenge, get even, than to work for peace.
