[Peace-discuss] Fw: Vigil for Peace in Israel and Palestine

["E. Wayne Johnson 朱稳森"]

  Some of this inclusiveness stuff does seem a bit wishy-washy at times,
but it does offer opportunity to separate what the government is doing from
what the people see going on.  Some in Israel would acknowledge that the
activity of its government makes them less safe, just the same as in the USA
some would point out that what your government is doing is putting you
heavily at risk.
