Violence and killings are all good for economic growth, if it is only Gazans that get slaughtered

"As for the Middle East, nowhere epitomises more, the fact that the destinies of all of us are in the hands of fools. Both the left & the right, Arabs & Israelis do nothing to advance their causes with their violence. The only outcome is to further fuel anger, hatred & oppression thereby strengthening the influence & power of the idiots in charge, and so it goes on."   Colin Port

The problem is that revenge is so sweet for all of us.  We just have to try more constructive, humorous, good-natured retributions.  Even work on foreign policies that are fairer, non-violent and don't result in hate-filled, 7 October massacres.  They come from our foreign policies of colonialism, empire building and forcing our ways of doing things on others.  The most egregious examples are the two world wars and the West's subsequent wars in SE Asia and the Middle East.  Not very diplomatic or friendly.  Nor is it behaving like the Good Samaritan.  Not even like the priest and levite.  More like the robber.  Pax Americana Rules OK.
