I think suffering is caused by systemic problems or the world. Anyone who caused a lot of suffering only did so because they also suffered a lot.
The Germans lost world war 1 and were made to pay for it. This caused a lot of economic hardship for an entire generation. It’s not surprising that they grew up to want to exact revenge.
An entire generation of Jews suffered as a result of German decisions from world war 2. When they founded Israel, they had a resolved to never be victims again and they had to inflict that generational trauma on another group of people.
The Palestinians have lived under the boot of the Israelis for 3 generations. Why the hell wouldn’t they want to exact revenge?
Punishment and vengeance is never the answer, but it can almost always be justified.
“An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.”
I have no idea what I’m looking at here
