[Peace-discuss] Becoming what you hate

[Robert Naiman]

I agree with you; vengeance is pernicious. Sometimes conflicts are
perpetuated by vengeance; sometimes there are real grievances which
need to be addressed; sometimes both are the case.

In the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, there are real grievances that
need to be addressed. There is also vengeance. We should eschew the
vengeance, but not fail to address the real grievances.
