Thoughts on taking sides from Thich Nhat Hanh...

"If we take one side, we can't fulfill our task of reconciliation in order to being about peace.

Are there people who can be in touch with both Israelis and Palestinians, Pakistanis and Indians, black and white? Without them, the situation gets worse. There must be people who can get in touch with both sides, understanding the suffering of each, and telling each side about the other. We need people who can help bring meditation and reconciliation to nations in conflict. Can Americans be more than Americans? Can we be people who understand deeply the suffering of both sides? Can we being the message of reconciliation?"

something to think about...
