Hi Paul,

"Flawed human behaviour long before the final event resulted in the rise of evil, which as a consequence resulted in the atomic bombs being dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki To me that is simply a timeline of mistakes, which we as a human society need to work to avoid."

Isn't that hypothetical reasoning? The Nazis used such reasoning to justify their horrors on the basis of it being the natural order of things.

"I want to see the causes of evil eliminated in the first instance, you want to deal with the reality of what exists."

I think it better to uphold the principle of equality by treating all human beings equally. I think it better to resolve problems rather than bear grudges. The ethos of Palestinians is one eliminating what they perceive as the cause of evil, namely Israel. That's why they teach their kids to be genocidal, and Albo and Pen Pen help them to that end by donating Australian taxpayer money to UNRWA.
