"The world doesn't understand yet. We're already in World War III," Glenn Beck warns. "That foe is not China. That foe is militant Islam."
WTF! I'm just now having heard that! That?
If you're going on living convinced the Gaza Palestinians are just a bunch of vengeful, murderous monsters, you should maybe try to put yourself in their shoes.
Oh, you say, the situation they're in they brought it upon themselves. Really? Of course, since they're vengeful, murderous, monsters. Of course, they have to be fenced in. And now, they're being eradicated.
Like that they had to make it sure the Zionist state of Israel would displace them from a land they've been living in for hundred of years. They brought that on themselves? More suffering?
And now, Beck singles them out as the enemy. Hey, Glenn, what would your world look like without enemies to destroy? Treat us to your vision. Suggest a vision that is inclusive of all Peoples. And, religions. Sure, we don't like "radical" Islam. Radical anything, no? You want to see "radical"? Visit Gaza or the West Bank.
I've been contemplating on how Indigenous Peoples throughout history have been displaced by colonizers. The good old US of A is historically in that book with a big chapter. The Indigenous Peoples' voice is not heard. Oh, sure; they're savages. Nothing there but to get them out the way.
Yet, there's a voice to be heard. How about a US Cabinet position: "Native Voices". But, careful, just because someone is of Tribal ancestry don't mean their immune to the temptations of the swamp.
Net, net I'm referring to Ancestral Wisdom. Let's find a place to listen to that.
October 7 is the 9/11 in the US. It's the same message. "We're here. We have a voice. Listen."
This does not mean to agree. It means just what it says. Listen.
Instead we seem to be listening to our out ideas about what those "others" are up to. With little or no self examination, or reflection. Goose stepping in lock step agreement with whatever propaganda narrative is populating the predominant mental landscape of the moment.
The art of listening is based on practicing listening to the inner silence. The alternative is to stick with your cherished notions. At least think ahead some to outcomes, and see where cherished notions go. The "US vs. THEM" dialectic is a losing game. "We" is the ticket to ride.
