    If Palestinians stopped fighting, perhaps conditions would grow worse for them, or perhaps not. If Israel stops fighting, it will cease to exist, and all her citizens are likely to face the same treatment you've seen today in videos spammed across Twitter and the news today.

    True.

    both sides are to blame in the big dymanics of the events, but there is one side who wants to eliminate the other, and one side who wants to live peacefuly.

    This is not to say that Israel doesnt make mistakes and doesnt have a long way to keep developing, but please, there is no place of comparison between Israel stage of development and this of hamas.

    The reality in the end is, it is profoundly difficult to witness atrocities and recognize that many of them might genuinely be unavoidable. That there can be two sides who kill each other, and both justified from their own perspective.

    It's much easier to pick one side and decide they are in the right, rather than recognizing why both sides act the way they do, and maybe even must act the way they do.

    I think you are right but lets not fall into a "neutrality" or "symmetry" trap here, because the value systems of both sides are utterly different.

    There are approximately 50 Muslim-majority countries in the world.

    There is only one Jewish-majority country in the world.

    Why are Hamas and Palestinians so obsessed with this small piece of land? Probably for religious reasons, there are sacred places to Islam in Israel, like the Al Aqsa Mosque.

    I think this situation between Israel and Palestine is complex and messed up, with both sides sharing responsibility. However, I do believe that Israel has more historical legitimacy for this land than the Palestinians. No one can negate this legitimacy.

    Historically, Jews have faced persecution. Muslims, on the other hand, have a different approach, they may be intolerant of those who disagree with their religion. Islam has a history of conflicts and wars, with Muhammad himself believing in fighting against those who threatened Islam, even to the death.

    Gaza is influenced by individuals with extreme Islamic ideologies since birth, harboring intense hatred for Jewish people. They believe that all Jews should be killed, akin to Nazi ideology but with less power. If they had more power, they might perpetrate a more terrible Holocaust against Jewish people than the actual Nazis did. With such enemies, I don't envy the Jewish people at all.

    Israel is dealing with a dangerous and underdeveloped population, still carrying the collective trauma of the Holocaust and the wounds of anti-Semitism. This is why I don't expect Israel to act nobly towards Palestine if its survival is at stake. Yet, Israel do it's best to be noble as much as it can, given the circumstances. If it were the US, France, Britain, or any other country, chances are they would have much less tolerance towards Gaza and Palestine in general.

    Israel is not perfect, and there are underdeveloped radical right-wing individuals too. However, I can relate more to their point of view than to the radical Islam that fuels terrorists in Gaza.

    Israel also exhibits more tolerance toward Arabs and Muslims than Muslims and Arabs have shown for Jewish people. Most people in Israel are willing to live with Arabs and Muslims in the same country as long as they are not a threat. However, I doubt that Muslims and Arabs have the same level of tolerance towards Jewish people.

    I think that it's naive to negotiate peace with people who wants to remove you of the planet. Maybe in 100 years this would be possible, maybe then, when Gaza/Palestine would be controlled by more development and civilized leadership.

    This is why I find Western thinking and and Westerns who support Palestine and demonize Israel, so odd. This is where the stage green thinking is more harmful and misleading than effective or practical. Because it can be too simplistic, black and white and lack in nuance.

    Like with Sweden and their immigrants from Muslim countries. You can't be too nice with someone in too low developmental stage. With such people, you have to keep some bounderies and work hard for your right to exist.

    Look, please don’t compare Israelis to Terrorist. We have dreams, I am a jazz musician and will go to study in Berkeley college of music in the next years, we care about building some beautiful and useful to society and human life, we are the biggest startup nation compared to number of startups per person.

    We actually have stuff to lose. We want peace, we want good. And they don’t. They have nothing but hate and terror. They just want to kill murder and destroy us and “free Israel land” from our lives here. We are too strong and powerful to let it happen. They need to understand there is no other solution than accepting this truth and give up their wounds. We will never attack civilians, never attack people, just those who try to harm us.

    I am sorry if I broke this forums roles, I just wanted to share some more factual information.

    if you don’t believe me it’s very easy- just go to Hamas Telegram channel, translate it to Arabic and they are gladly sharing their success of murdering and kidnapping women children and of course soldiers.

    I wish we will know peace.

    Exactly. They are tribalistic in their mentality and in the unhealthy version of it.

    We are organized society and totally different.

    @Leo Gura the islamic world seems so self biased. in their minds to live in peace they need to eradicate israel, america, all of europe and the west, all buddhist and hindu cultures... there's not an inch of relativism going on. pure devilry. 

     

    instead of people doing epistemology and spiritual work, understanding relativity, how culturally influenced one is... they just go to war.

    For 20% of them (and hamas between them) this is really true.

    Israelis here please talk about how this situation is affecting the general public like what are people saying or expecting?

    The opinions and responses I hear from Israelis are highly divergent.

    Everyone is taking it in another way.

    Yes, there are many fearful and angry (I dont blame them. This is traumatic) who wants to response harshly on gaza.

    But there also many Israeli people who just looking to help in any way they can. Many valuntirs to blood donation, or another kind of help to all who get injured and alive.

    People are as naive about this as they are with the russio-ukrainian conflict, thinking that we will somehow get peace if we just negotiate properly. That's fairy tale land, and just shows there is a profound lack of understanding human nature and both sides of the conflict.

    Right.

    This is an unhealthy stage red gang against stage blue-orange (and locally above) military.

    The entire reason HAMAS is such a big player is because Israel left the Gaza strip in an attempt to give palestenians back some autonomy. The problem is, HAMAS will never stop, no matter how much Israel will return to the palestinians at this point.

    You will never be able to just go back to peace, especially considering we have Iran invested in peace never occuring. They will ensure conflicts continue as long as there is room for them.

     

    Exactly.

    Hamas is a pure blood thirsty gang who wants to conquer Israel in one peace. No negotiation can be done with this ISIS-like mentality organisation.

    I live a couple hours away from where this is happening, people here are in shock that this is actually happening, it’s the first time in Israel’s history that this kind of attack in this scale blew up..

    Indeed very traumatic.

    More than 100 Innocent civilians are being killed and 50-100 are being kidnapped.

    Old woman in her own home who was forced by hamas people to take selfie and then kidnapped. Its a completely non-symetric war.

    Of course.

    Israeli settlement expansion fuels terrorists.

    I agree with you.

    The problem is very complex, and the current government is the least responsible we had so far. They are thinking in a very childish manner.

    But in the other hand, I am very optimistic now that the world can see better than ever, how brutalic is hamas and how zero semtiments to human life he has. 

    The videos hamas publishes are extremely difficult to watch. Israeli children, old woman, young woman with small children are kidnapped to gaza with guns over their heads.

    I saw an astounishingly difficult video of an Israeli ~8 y.o boy ALONE in gaza being tourmented by palestinian children who are laughing at him and its been encouraged by hamas people. Who knows if he will live for the next few weeks.

    Of course childs tend to be cruel sometimes no matter their ethnicity, but this is heartbreaking to any Israeli to watch.

    You won't believe how much medication can help. NO amount of spirituality or personal development helped me, and I did tons of them. Only medication and psychedelics helped. 

    What you did is great if it right for you at any moment. Nice to hear you found a reliefe.

    Spirituality can be many things. For me, thinking newly and respectfuly investigate the symptoms was helpful and a game changer.

    Btw, I am honestly amazed by how many people here seem to "deny" mental illness and how spirituality is the cure for everything. Let me say this, I for sure would have killed myself if I could not have some proper medication, no amount of of spirituality  have helped me, which I tried a lot of it. Mental illness is no joke when it hits hard.

    Nobody denies mental problems and the tremendous suffering they are creating, neither the genetic component of mental constructs, nor the significance of wise use of symptom-masking tools in stages of the journey.

    But to say that some mental conditions fundamentally requires medication for life just because of the genetic condition is to play to the devil hands.

    Bipolar type 2 disorder is characterized by frequent and long periods of depression that may last for years and start at an early age  before an episode of hypomania occurs. The antidepressants are less effective or don't work at all. It is accompanied by ocd in 20% of cases. In many cases the diagnosis can be difficult considering it can be mistaken for depression.

    I have all the above. I have always thought that OCD was my probelm but now looking back at it, it all makes much sense. I will discuss this with my psychitrist soon.

    Please try to not get drown too much in these definitions that can only make you feel worse.

    I would suggest you to investigate your nutrition deeply.

    Trust yourself first and foremost. Pills can help. Take them if you want but you yourself know they dont last long term and their withdrawal can be really dangerous. Take them but wisely, and never see them as a root solution.

    Symptoms are valid signals and have to be inveatigated seriousely. It will take hard work but it will worth it. Symptoms are not enemies, not pathologies and not "illness". 

    Genetics can cause different mental constructs but these are still not "ilnesses" and not necessarily have to cause suffering.

    Spirituality has No meaning at all if we in the end regressing back to psychiatrists pov's. 

    You are HEALTHY and you will improve. I am talking from experience.

    Wish you good luck.

    1 out of 4 to 5 take them, and many of them even after don’t need them anymore, still stuck on them for years including myself because of the withdrawal problem. A very serious problem which 95% of the doctors grossly underestimate.

    I think these medications are a very legitimate strategy for people in different stages of their life when the person is not yet know himself enough and doesn’t have the consciousness and resources to help himself by his own.

    Chemically masking the problem with pills for an easier therapy with the real tools – psychology, personally customized nutrition, spirituality etc – is not a bad thing. Sometimes the situation is hard enough that the person needs something to ease him to do the real therapy.

    But Im also think we have to talk about the shadow-ish term "mental illness".

    This is true, that ther are many people who are more prone, genetically, to different forms of mental mechanics that may cause, after combining with environmental causes, a huge suffering (altough genetics alone cannot be enough to make a person suicidal in my opinion) but we have to remember that we are all sitting on a scale and the difference is only in intensity. 

    The boundary between mental health and mental "illness" is highly artificial and subjective. I can easily remember of many suffering-loaded spiritual phenomenas discussed here, in books and in the videos that are perfectly overlaps with many mental conditions.

    I think the "mental illness" term is a harmful, self fueling term which makes people suffering much worse, and it will be grasped as a dark aged term in the future.

    But also I DONT want to convince! To convince is just a fake influence because other people just take what someone says directly, and not really realize it independently. If I will "convince" I won't feel anymore happy. I just want to float up this subject and make people think about it again for themselves.

    Please let's remember that symptoms are always the brain and mind trying his best to respond a condition - just like flu symptoms is always the body's reaction - and therefore they are intelligent and healthy in their structure and their essence (regardless of the false and problematic to directly believe content) and have to be respected and investigated in order for us to heal.

    @The0Self Thanks for the very interesting answer. I think I will take it every 2 hours also in the night I will pre weight the capsules before and it will be very easy just to swallow. I have a question,

    In how RS-ALA (50% R and 50% S) different from R-ALA in its action in the body? And why andy cutler opposed to take R-ALA?

    How can I know that ALA isn't also connected to some other cort mineral or other essential minerals in the heart for example and doesn't pull them out from the heart and change the relationship of minerals there?

    I know this is not a scientific claim, but it still scares me a little like how can anybody knows the full complextiy of what it does.

    At least in the R-ALA form I can know it is fully natural and our body already have that so I feel safer cause I know that it doesnt do that.

    But when we combine the S molecule syntheticly how can we be so sure it doesnt behave differently?

    It just ends up dragging the damage-time duration out longer. So no there’s no benefit to doing that.

    I understand. At this time of this message I was around ~36h, but I felt I couldn't keep more with 1mg, so I reduced to 0.9mg and stayed until 48h and then reduced to 0.8mg and stayed until now (80h) and I will keep going with the 0.8mg until tommorow I believe. Yes I reduced a little but this is much better than if I would stop cold turkey after only 36h.

    Next time I will do as you suggested, and I consider to choose a dose, take 66% of it but every *2* hours to ensure very stable blood level of the ALA.
