What a thing for a diplomat to say to a parent of someone whose child is being held hostage?! Try to understand the other side?? Have they no hearts as well as well as brains? Try to understand the rapist, the kidnapper, ths killer - oh while this is happening to you. While you are actively being run over by a truck repeatedly day after day. What a heartless sentiment.

Why do we accept this as normal? Why do we acknowledge this as having any sort of wisdom? It doesn't. It is empty pontificating to people in pain. It does not make us more righteous or self aware.

The premise of your interlocutor appears to be that you must renounce your Jewishness or be cast out from society. Judenrein!
