I wonder if anyone gets out of life without an experience of the "victim." At some level, I sense it is in all of us. To become aware of such an identification when it's in operation becomes one location where free will, personal agency, consciously choosing not to identify with the inner victim, restores a person to an experience of wholeness that includes an activated capacity to not become the "perpetrator." To harbor within oneself the inflated notion of being one of God's "chosen" while simultaneously identifying with "victim" seems like a terrible brew. The only way to not be torn to shreds must be to split them off from each other. The behavior of the Israelis, its citizens, appears to be re-playing the myths of "Biblical" times given us by its various authors.
