USUALLY one can reason it out and try to cool down by realizing the futility of rage at something that's been going on for a millenia, isn't going to be stopped today by anyone or anything and will continue until the end of time when GOD finally finishes ALL anger.
Unfortunately, for some people their very identity is wrapped up in something other that their family, friends, home and job.
To be so enthralled and riveted on events over which they have absolutely NO CONTROL must therefore leave people so terribly frustrated, irate, helpless, embittered and completely stonewalled that their ONLY recourse is to lash out as viciously as they can against those who don't share their views and who don't agree with as much ferocity as they have.
It's a real soul destroyer. My visits to Israel left me surprised because the Jews, Muslims and Christians over there HAVE to get along. They depend on each other for so much as there is not enough man power for the Israelis to do everything.
Also, the Jews, Muslims and Christians HAVE been dealing with each other for a long, long time, PREDATING Europe and America. For those here who detest the Palestinian Muslims, it has to be difficult because MOST people here haven't a clue what it's like over there. It would be a good thing for Americans to VISIT Israel and see for themselves what it's like. It's not difficult and it's not dangerous for Americans.
The Israeli army has things WELL IN HAND. They protect all Israelis, Christians and Muslims alike, from harm. I've never seen so many Uzis, rockets, tanks and soldiers in my life...not even in the five years I lived in Saudi Arabia.
It's a good thing for Christians to visit the Holy Land, travel in the "footsteps" of Jesus, see Jerusalem, Calvary, the Holy Sepulcher and all the famous historic site of the Bible. Tourists are as safe as they are in New York City. [Is that a bad example?]
Please try to understand that people have had enough and backlash has started.
God Bless Israel!
