You speak as if these atrocities happen in a vacuum. As if people are simply dumb.

Are you aware that 75 years of Israeli oppression may have contributed to these crimes? Of course I’m not condoning the crimes. I’m saying that in general, even and especially in the middle east! —Because you make sweeping generalizations about people in the Middle East not being able to appreciate Beauty…??? that most people aren’t actually dumb. And terrorism doesn’t happen in a vacuum. The people who are dumb are those who fail to take the time to explore the context that events like this occurring. Here’s a generalization for you. They tend to drive trucks. Vote for Trump. Watch football. Spent a lot of time on the couch. Shop at Walmart. Overconsume. Have no context for what America, or rather the United States does in the world to create hate. That the US has been actively funding, Israel’s aggressive, political and military action on Palestinians.
