I had an impossible dream, Peace.

I had the honor of attending a dinner celebrating the Jewish New Year. I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere where we were free to exchange ideas. The idea most noteworthy was the Golden Rule,"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." This rule cited by Christ and in other religions was proposed to be the solution for World Peace. How would the Golden Rule apply to Israel and Palestine? I heard Prime Minister Netanyahu describe how nice he was reducing the number of road blocks in Palestine territory. If you were a Palestine, would you not want all the road blocks removed and Israel to stop building Israel settlements on Palestine land? Could Prime Minister Netanyahu have enough heart and be bold enough to not only stop the Jewish settlements but build housing for the Palestine people? If Netanyahu was bold enough to commit to such an action, would the Palestine people respond by not hating the Jewish population and reciprocate with a greater deed of joining together to build a Peaceful Palestine community? Is it not time for the Palestine and Jew to join together in harmony as brothers and build countries that share in peace and prosperity?

Act of Terrorism?

We heard President Jimmy Carter cite the right wing as depicting President Obama as reincarnation of Adolf Hitler and they should have buried Obama along with Kennedy. President Carter referred to this rhetoric as being racist. I have even noted that Obama has been referred to as Stalin. This not only appears to be disrespectful of our President but isn't this dehumanization of President Obama? Is not this type of dehumanization the type of action that Hitler took prior to the holocaust to dehumanize the Jewish population? Has not this type of speech crossed the bounds of freedom of speech and should not this rhetoric be regarded as an act of Terrorism? I haven't heard of such inflammatory rhetoric come from Hamas which is classed as an terrorist organization. Does not this type of rhetoric increase the probability that some fruitcake or emotionally unstable individual bring great harm to the President?
