			Okay, so do we recognize that hatred, because it's inside us too, and it flares up when someone does something we really don't like, sometimes something as simple as someone not saying hello. A war is nothing more than unleashing that pent-up hatred. That's what the Palestinians did, that's what Israel does.
 What then is a healthy way to deal with this?
 Because if peace isn't something we desire, then we're stuck in this game of blaming each other, venting judgments, which is nothing more than waging war. What else can get us out of it than the desire for peace? You first have to acknowledge what's happening there. See it for what it is.
 Because if you're not aware of that, if you don't see it with eyes free from opinion, then you're trapped in the same mechanism as the people in Israel and Gaza.
 
 There will never be peace if people don't see that all this is happening out of pain, the deep traumas both sides have endured.
 
 You can't solve this with ideology, politics, or economics.
 You can only solve this by encountering that pain. And it starts with understanding the state of being we're in.
 
 Because if you really understand and acknowledge that, you'll do everything you can to free yourself from it.
