Fair enough.

As an aside, my country has had to deal with many brutal truths: the most recent of which was the treatment of Canada's Indigenous peoples in the Indian Residential School debacle.

Since I had visited Vad Yashem, I insisted that my band students visit Dachau.

Since my Uncle had helped to liberate the Westerbork Transit Camp, and that I had grown up with my father's stories of fighting Nazis during WW II, I refused to accept that my country had engaged in genocide.

The comparison was just too stark if not hyperbolic.

However, Canada decided to follow Nelson Mandela's Truth and Reconciliation paradigm.

It has been a painful process.

So, the only way out of this murderous quagmire for Israel and Palestine is to engage in one.
