Pardon me for a moment while I impart some clearly obvious truth: I don't know about anyone else, but I'm about as exasperated as I can possibly be at hearing about the never-ending, utter stupidity and lack of humanity coming from the 'Promised Land' which, as near as I can tell, has promised nobody anything but stress, tragedy and - most times - assured death...for the last millennium. And, by the way, pointing fingers doesn't help...stupid is stupid. This is not the way to achieve peace, no matter which side you're on or what your 'methods' may be. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. If you can't understand that, you probably don't deserve to call yourself either. Furthermore, this land belongs to nobody...and everybody. It is a territorial war, not a religious one, no matter what people may say. Religion is nothing more than an unassailable, indefensible excuse for people to try to control something that should be available for the benefit of all people (at least, in terms of religion). After all, religion aside...this Earth formed into sea and land - without borders - and, much to the detriment of themselves and their own peaceful futures, Man drew the territories, borders and lines in the sand. We've done nothing but kill one another over them since times further back than the beginning of recorded human history. I wonder what God (sic) would think about all this. Is it any wonder people are losing their faith? What a tragic example for people to be setting while they try to convince others of their 'divine guidance'. I recently saw something that summed it up about as neatly as possible - and in a very artistic, creative way...despite the absolute absurdity of it all...and I decided to share it here. This is about as close to the truth as you are ever going to get... Please share this. (You have the blessing of those who created it - to do so.)

This animation by Nina Paley is one of the most beautiful, accurate and true cartoons I ever seen! A masterpiece! The animation makes it clear why there can be no clear “winners” over this land. Time to end the blood…
