Thank you Steve. I share your views wholeheartedly. I am sad for humanity and also enlightened by the few shining stars who emerge in times of tragedy.
Thank you very much Steven for this new take. I expected that you would write this time about the atrocities of last Saturday. I am also sad like you and there are millions of people sad from different countries, religions and ethnicities. Terrorists only understand one language, which is violence. Therefore, I do not blame leaders when they use violence to deter terrorists, despite my deep sadness for innocent people, especially children and women.
Abdo, I am always grateful for your input, and you have so much heartache to deal with in your own homeland.
I understand not blaming leaders for using violence against terrorists, but we should be clear-eyed that doing so doesn't deter them so much as to suppress them temporarily until they can find another way to hurt us. The history of Hamas has been changing tactics every time Israel finds a way to defend against one threat. They have gone from stabbings to kidnappings to to shootings to suicide bombs to rockets to tunnels to incendiary balloons and now a land invasion. They were never deterred, only temporarily suppressed.
Your words are my exact feelings. Feelings I have been hesitant to share as people around me draw lines in the sand. My heart aches for all of us who are trapped in paradigms with no doors.
Thank you for this beautiful, relevant and touching post. The more you write on this subject, either through personal or professional lenses, the better.

I agree with you completely Steven.
We are changed forever. Well said. And thanks, Steve, for sharing some glimmers of hope I hadn't heard about.
