The same applies to all true evils, whether Hitler rearming or Lord Voldemort reviving. People do NOT WANT to recognize evil for what it is, until the storm finally breaks over their heads.
Here in Israel, I’m stripped of the supreme delusions of longitude from which Americans often suffer. Anything that happens happens here first.
And yet I have neighbors who believe that the haters among the Arabs are all being paid to commit these heinous acts, and that really they recognize how much better off they’ve become during the “occupation”. The Arabs ARE better off, but a huge number of them are also insane. I shudder to think that the perpetrators of the barbarous acts committed against two lost IDF soldiers in Ramallah were motivated by monetary gain. That scares me more than the pure hatefulness of it, but even long-time residents of the Chevron metro area don’t want to call a spade a spade.
Americans should learn from India’s and Israel’s past histories with Islam. But we probably won’t and will end up like the UK.
Good luck!
