Mccoy i see your point about a tit for a tat, however the reason for such retribution you offer does not add up to me. It ignores the fact that land was forcefully taken by Israel that was not theirs. If I came to Italy and plowed down your house and property and put up a subdivision for the poor how would you and your family react? Would you set up talks about reconciliation?
Steve, as spiritual individuals we should always prioritize reconciliation and forgiveness, not revenge. Reconciliation is not a novelty in history, for example in India after the British occupation, after the bloody war in Liberia and more, there was goodwill from both sides.
To answer more directly to your question, spiritually speaking, what I would do in the place of Palestinians is to avoid all acts of terrorism, which are totally unacceptable always and especially so in this Dwapara age. I would support political groups which struggle for peace and reconciliation and for the assertion of human and civil rights. I would unceasingly make appeals to foreign countries against breach of rights. I would put myself at peace eventually, because if my karma is that of loosing my land and being confined into a smaller territory, I should accept it and avoid creating more karma which would end up in destruction and doom.
I studied the history of the Zionist take-up of Palestinian lands. It is sad. What was saddest, was that murder and killings soon erupted across the land. From both parties. This created an avalanche of bad karma which ended up in the present ruinous situation.
From the above historical standpoint, both parties are to be blamed for the present war. From the standpoint of very recent events, there has been clearly a party (Hamas) that wanted to create a new enlarged war against Israel, with the help of Iran, Hezbollah and the Sciite Muslims. So far they didn't succeed. The film is still unfolding though.
