why is there murder? why is there rape? when jack murders God-forbid jill or rapes Jill does he not realize that Jill is a human being? does he not care about her emotional reality? – ah’ but what if Jack was raped – what if he feels that when he was violated (which can be as simple as being demeaned, particularly in public) no one cared enough to help! – so Jack figures, if no one cares about him, must he care about someone else?? – this simple flawed logic is at the heart of all hate – no better tribe to describe it but the ancestral hatred of Arabs to Jews – as one former plo terrorist converted to Christianity who wrote his phd theses on this told me “we forget how Yishmoel felt – when he was banished from his home, this made him feel like a rotten good for nothing” – of course we know he became a hunter and this mentality, that the world hates me and I can hunt individual, raping and killing, has continued to this very day – so you see my dear friend, the antidote to all evil is, as Chassidus teaches, love unconditionally!
