The following letter from me was published in the Chicago Tribune yesterday.
“We fear what we do not know, and we hate what we fear. The recent attacks on Jews in Colorado and DC, along with the continuing slaughter of civilians in Gaza, indicate that the killers knew little or nothing about their victims, except that those people are somehow the “enemy”. It is easy to dehumanize a person if you cannot recognize him or her as being like yourself in some way. In our world the hard thing to do, the courageous thing to do, is to reach out and attempt to understand others, especially those who seem to be our enemies. However, to end the violence that is what we must do.”
Frank is Emptiness 
We know to do about attack on Jews or Arabs in this country. But what do we do when We, US, are the killers of thousands of innocent Palestinians, mostly children and women.. Palestinians are being considered “less than animals”, snakes, roaches by Israeli leaders (just like the Germans in Nazi Germany considered the Jews). We (US) are complicity with Israel of genocide. What to we do?
