People have to stop killing each other. People have to learn to forgive, people have to learn to let go of the past. I could finish my post there, but I won't.
'Anyone who claims to understand Irish politics, obviously does not understand Irish politics.'
A famous Irish political quote, that can be used very obviously here, in todays circumstances in Israel/Gaza. So many people jumping on bandwagons, so many people ready to call Israel murderers, so many ready to defend Israel to the hilt no matter what it does, and so many times God brought into the argument as well. In Ireland, all this has happened before, famous idiots jumping on bandwagons without looking at the full picture, people defending one side over the other without looking at the consequences and then using wielding God around as a justification.
Whose side would God be on? His side. The side of love, forgiveness, the side of righteousness. Northern Ireland is slowly getting over itself, with hiccups along the way. Can the Israelis, can the Palestinians, can all the one sided, blameful, self righteous campaigners.
As is the same in Ireland, it will be those on the outside who will keep things going, those who believe in the 'struggle,' against those who just want to sleep easy in their beds, go to school, eat, live.
