Shhhh......
The artist is portraying the sadness and irony in the fact that this mindset is what the majority of people believe. It is a satirical piece meant to show the absurdity of this reality, and not meant to "spread hate" or any such thing.

Wasn't meant to spread hate. The artist was portraying the sadness and irony in the fact that that mindset is what the majority of people believe. I thought that was obvious, though I guess I should have explained it more. It is a satirical piece meant to show the absurdity of this reality.

Re: Shhhh......
What I want to know is why the pro-Israel folks feel the need to constantly put on a charade at universities to defend themselves? They must obviously know that the Israel government is full of **** so they always have to defend themselves.

Re: Shhhh......
This is yet another thread that does not belong on the Avalon Forum. It will be moved to off topic.

Re: Shhhh......
The most we need peace..and to pursue knowledge..human beings are complicate enough to amuze themselves various ways.
But also can behave very stupid...so never know how ones words will be understood. Not all yet live in a 'good word', there's still lots of poverty, untreated diseases and unhealed suffering, people in their 40th who don't know how to read and write, there are NASA labs in one corner of the world and pygmies in another. It's a complicate world with unresolved issues between our forefathers, whose origin we already forgot. It's not easy to fight your prejudice and what about mine .. When it's Quiet..we understand ourselves little More . So then after we meet each other again, there's more understanding.. |

Re: Shhhh......
And the sadness is why..because you remember the darkness and sadness of destruction, the catastrophes again are typed to our biological memory.
But the destruction does not have to happen, the world can continue in peace as it does so that peeople can go and keep solving their own issues. Don't put any energy to the 'apocalyptic scenario' , use your strenght to keep the world going fair way.. |

I am well aware of the fact we have to solve all these issues and spread love and understanding, but we can't solve problems without first understanding what they are and why they are present. The reality is that there are many groups, and in some cases entire nations that are taught to think a certain way, like Israeli Extremists. No matter what they do to people they see no wrong in it. Hell, even here in the U.S. we(not me) watch our soldiers on the TV killing innocent Iraqi's and say it's all in the interest of spreading freedom. What's worse is that most often these extremists are driven by the idea that their religion tells them they have this right and should do these things, which is never the case. They are spoon fed the information in a way that doctrinates them into a life of hate and violence, when the truth of the matter is that the core message of all beliefs is unconditional and godlike love for everyone and every thing. |

Re: Shhhh......
Seeing it for what is is....we here are all aware of the atrocities in this world...this forum was built for the purpose of overcoming such atrocities
So my question to you Lorien is....now that you've made us aware of what you feel ....what would your solution be? Do you have an idea how to overcome such sadness? Or is spreading the word of such sadness all you feel necessary? Surly you must have an opinion on how to overcome something you feel so sure about...or should we just keep the chain going and keep name calling in the interest of bringing attention with no solution?

i agree.this cartoon is even more relevant this week. the fact that the u.s. and canada boycotted the conference in durban makes it more relvant. ahmadajad's address SHOULD have been heard. it seems that if we don't hear it it can't be true. i am not antisemetic, but i am definitely anti zionist! here's the text of his speech, which our leaders refused to listen to. check it out. it contains truth, and nothing anti-semetic. http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=92046 |

Re: Shhhh......
my solution, is listen to what the man has to say.open a dialogue with iran. keep an open mind. understand the the route to peace is not through war. have our leaders refuse to support the upcoming israeli attack of iran.
we must understand that the greatest danger we face is to start more wars for oil. israel must not be allowed to attack iran and they MUST allow palestine to survive. |

Re: Shhhh......
Political powers and agendas need to be DROPPED....Human rights need to be attended to....until that is addressed the situation will not be resolved.

Re: Shhhh......
The Middle East is a big cauldron of racism. On the one hand, everyone wants to exterminate the 'Other.' On the other, there's a lot of progress reversing the de-humanization, which occurs in collective racist head spaces.
Like Lorien, I don't think ignoring all the layers of facts is useful. |

As far as solutions? Before the corrupt governments and leaders of the world are gone, I fear there isn't much we can do. However we can try to help these misguided souls find there way by showing them the truth. If you know someone of the Zionist, Islamic Extremist, or any other fanatical religious or government group, try to help them on the way to true spiritual awakening instead. Solutions start with bringing about change in one person, who can then do the same with someone else, and so on and so on. I also think that major spiritual leaders of various faiths need to man(or woman) up and come out in swarms and denounce all the hatred and "killing in the name of" that is going on. Again, I think this starts with an individual follower who teaches others and forces their leaders to do this. We can already see things such as this happening on small scales in religion and with military soldiers refusing orders. The goal is to get these people to see with their heart that these things are wrong and only detrimental to our race as a whole. |
