Binary Bigots

Most binary debates in the Media are little better than battles between bigots. Thousands on the streets for Palestine and then thousands for Israel. Palestine-Israel is a unitary problem that has lasted exactly 100 years. Agreement as even the Oslo Accord has barely been possible. Persecution both ways has been rife. As matters are at this moment it is likely that Israel will take all and edge Palestinians into oblivion, whereas in 1923 they had been the vast majority.

Unfortunately, there are some things in human life and culture that are "binary" and they will probably stay "binary". True/False, Yes/No, Good/Bad, Right/Wrong are examples. Binary itself is neither bad nor good, in fact, attempts to discredit binary thinking as "bad" thinking is little more than a binary task at heart.

Right and wrong has its place within ethics which is not binary. Factual right and wrong is another matter as in maths. In any case the attack on Israel was so extreme it is the very reason why Israel should not be left to make retribution. The USA and GB with NATO and UN should have control.

Victims sometimes make inadequate judges. I agree that the UN should be involved. I can't say the same for the US, GB, and NATO, unless every other country in the world is also included in the list.
