Yet in a world devoid of wisdom, one that saw Yasser Arafat refuse to accept nearly all he asked for under the Clinton Administration, the myth that Palestinians will ever accept peaceful coexistence with Israel still persists.
In a wise world, one that purports to learn from its history, those sworn to genocide would be universally condemned across the political spectrum as were the Nazis. But in our world, those who seek another "final solution" are given a free pass while George W. Bush is condemned as "Hitler." Yes, in a mad, mad world, the executioners are invited in for tea while those who seek its salvation are reviled.
Indeed, if we still lived in a world where the recognition of objective truth still held sway with those in power, belief in a religion that preaches peace, brotherhood and forgiveness would be welcomed and nurtured, and considered what it truly is; a gift to humanity. Instead, it is increasingly belittled, persecuted and suppressed worldwide, while those who follow the dictates of 'the sword' are lauded and protected.
Our world may yet awake and throw off the blinders that allow nefarious acts of terrorism to be perpetrated against it, or it may continue down the path of destruction paved with misguided notions of moral equivalency. One thing is certain however: those who indiscriminately heave rockets into Israel and those who share their dream of a world without infidels harbor no such qualms; their aim is true.
