It’s posts like this that offend Palestinians and Israelis at the same time. So be it. We are talking about the ‘P’ word. The dirty word. PEACE. I see you both as my brothers and sisters. And this matters to me. But I still believe that violence and the language of hate simply lead to more violence and more of the language of hate. Steve Earle puts it perfectly here in his introduction, but this is not the best version of the song. Go to the version on the home page for that. I apologise to my Palestinian friends and to Israelis, but I still do not believe in the actions nor the language of violence. If that were the starting point for both sides, then many lives would be saved. Many innocent lives of decent people on both sides.
