By all means, let's focus on the effects, and ignore the causes. I'm sick of people hating one side or the other, when the real mover and shaker is the USA, who, on the advice of the UK, carved the state of Israel out of Palestine, by force. It's been an open wound on the Middle East that we just can not and will not allow to heal. We just throw more money at it, ensuring that there is perpetual enmity and hatred on a regional scale.
In the American West, there was ethnic conflict, but all people talked about at the time was the atrocities of "the other side." Mostly it was renegades sparking it off, but good people on both sides were righteously angry, and felt that there was no punishment too severe or atrocity too grotesque to inflict on "the other side," because of how BAD "the other side" was. Murray, Shapiro, and every politician in Washington, DC are hell bent (I don't use the term lightly) on keeping the wound open and bleeding, without ever addressing root causes of the ethnic conflict in the region, let alone whether it is moral to continue throwing our treasure and our (and others') lives away, endlessly doubling down on "stupid."
Say something productive, Douglas. Don't just clutch your pearls in indignation and horror.
