ka5s    Ten thousands words and more   11/23/2014 11:46:02 AM
Pictures of the synagogue massacre spread rapidly through the worlds news outlets, to varying receptions. The more naive among us will be shocked; those of us with more knowledge of history "merely" saddened. The depth of that sadness however, is not merely historical. Many of us hoped the world had advanced somewhat since the Crusades,  the massacres of the Middle Ages and the European wars of religion -- and since the 1940's.   We know now, if we didn't before, that the world is still capable of historical savagery.
 
Each picture is worth many thousands of words opening our eyes.  ISIS is not less extreme than Hamas; Hamas is not more extreme than what is being taught Palestinian children in their schools -- and the seeds of extremism neither fall only among Muslims nor do they sprout only in war.   But they will certainly cause one.
 
Some people will cheer.  Are we ready?

They attacked Egypt, the only ME country with any chance of brokering a deal for them with Israel. Gaza will be isolated and starved until it responds to the Egyptian leash. They have crossed a line and murdered people at prayer. Their is no going back, the Israelis will tighten the West Bank stranglehold. The disenfranchisement of the Palestinian People continues faster and faster.
