I agree with every word. Maybe I know the "wrong" people but I didn't meet people who hate. And I'm here for nearly 20 years. I heard enough Israelis talk about Arabs. I met angry, disappointed, desperate, sad and disheartened people. But also empathic, insightful and understanding people. The stereotype of the "mutual hate" is, from my experience, a simple but wrong concept. I didn't see the film yet. I think we should try to understand how terrorists "tick" (sorry for the pun) to find a way to make them stop. But human empathy? Don't waste it on them. Dear Dave, beautifully said.
