And the people who ran Germany after the fall of fascism (or Italy, S Africa, Chile) were people who could imagine a different system.<\/p>

Again, yes, there was outside pressure\/help. But the new, better gov required citizens who had empathy & could think differently.<\/p>

Right now, there are people within Israel, who think differently and press for change. Just as there were protestors in S Africa, Chile, etc and resisters inside\/in exile from Germany, Italy, etc at their worst.

Of course, govs represent their people. And govs can do bad thing, even over decades and centuries. No argument there.<\/p>

But every type of gov falls. And every fascist (or apartheid) gov falls - whether thru war (Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, etc) or protest\/pressure (S Africa, Chile, Hungary).<\/p>

And after a gov falls, the people make a new government (yes, sometimes with external help\/pressure). In every case above, citizens of that country kept running it after the fall.

Thanks for explaining your view. I have also followed your posts and have a lot of respect for your views.<\/p>

But I think your response rests on a superficial assumption, that collapses under inspection. If anything, I think your comparison bolsters my point.<\/p>

Please bear with me while I explain, and let's not rush to reply mid-thread.<\/p>

Your assumption relies on swapping a gov ideology for all the people in it. Ie, Netanyahu gov = Israeli citizens, Nazi gov = German citizens.

This thread started about an Israeli actress\/model's comments about killing Palestinian children before they become terrorists (I am paraphrasing what she allegedly said, I have not verified the source myself).<\/p>

This woman is not in gov, and I don't know how she votes. But I believe her comment reflect a very biased world view, overpowered by fear<\/p>

My post was wondering if her view would change if she thought more deeply about the Pal. children and their environment

Of course, an ideology is unlikely to change. And an ideology of exclusion and\/or violence is more likely to double-down rather than change. I never said, or intended, that we both side the ideologies.<\/p>

So, I am trying to be clear right now, that I am saying all human beings can think, can empathise and can change. Not all will, of course. There are still neo-Nazi today.<\/p>

But the more people who think and empathise, the sooner we can get beyond these dangerous ideologies.

So, back to my original point.<\/p>

I was explicit in saying Israelis (and Palestinians) are humans who can consider another viewpoint and think differently. <\/p>

I thought it was explicit that I meant any person - whether they support the gov position or not - can think, empathise and change.<\/p>

Your substituting a gov ideology - or indeed a person's support of the gov at a given moment - for an individual's ability to think totally changes my statement.

I thought it was explicit that I meant any person - whether they support the gov position or not - can think, empathise and change.<\/p>

Your substituting a gov ideology - or indeed a person's support of the gov at a given moment - for an individual's ability to think totally changes my statement.

Yes, there is a role for resistance, protest and outside pressure on a dangerous gov ideology. I'm not arguing against that - or arguing to accommodate it.<\/p>

I am calling for individual empathy and change to grow the number of people who think differently. Because...we will never be able to move beyond a dangerous gov ideology without enough people who do dream of a better way.<\/p>

I welcome your reply now. But I'm not interested in explaining myself further. Have a nice day.

I trust we can agree that the world would be in a better place - and Netanyahu's gov would be weaker - if Givaty (or any Israeli) thought more deeply about the causes of Palestinian resistance and about more productive interventions.<\/p>

@TCatInReality<\/a> @DrALJONES<\/a> Thanks; I do understand what you\u2019re saying and, of course, I agree that we must have such hope if there is going to be a different future.<\/p>
