Beau is right of course. And I have always thought Ireland should be the lens to look through. The bitterness and poison between them seemed so complete that it appeared hopeless. Correct me if I am wrong. But I believe it was women...mothers who broke the cycle.

The problem with Israel and Gaza is that these two cousins were handed a diabolical situation by Britain and its European partners in colonialism.

Imagine if Israel had been created as a secular state where all faiths or beliefs were honored. No dislocation. Just a welcome mat.

But as Beau said, we need to look forward. And that future can't include the existence of Hamas.

Here is an analogy. Europeans "stole America" from its residents. What if Native Americans started sending rockets to major cities like San Francisco? What if they pledged the extermination of every white person "from sea to shining sea"?

Gaza has been an open air prison. A ridiculous and cruel situation. But until Gazans give up Hamas, they are doomed. They will perish like the Germans and Japanese of WWII. Because they allowed themselves to be ruled by monsters.

Beau is great. I just wish he would tighten up his episodes. Too much repetition. But he is a really smart guy, for sure.
