W -> M does answer a type of Chicken & Egg question in regards to the conflict in the Middle East in that his answer, or as you correctly put it "his reply" to present the other side of the conflict is to "tell the world" that you (a.k.a. your side) carries all the guilt and shame and crimes against nature, while he and his side are (were) just minding their own business doing good and treating all in the world the same way they wanted to be treated etc etc, and then "nature laided an bad egg" and hatched was this bad & evil people unlike all the rest of folks on planet Earth that were all good and never did bad, and never mind that each side might have engaged in anything that may be tagged as bad relationships or activity, as no, his side has always been the victim willing to help and share with all others from day 0. The type of conversation this person of type that "fell on his head" and speaks on me as needing help and me as fully displaying myself as incorrect is like a person, ok ok short true story time this one i just made up but i'am sure it already existed long ago using different or almost same words i'll keep it extra short two men both in trouble danger is near a wild beast approaches a man eater, like a brown bear, very hungry only weapon is a long pole with a sharp end on both ends suitable to point at bear as it attacks and while one sharp end digs deep into the earth the other shape end goes into the bear for a kill Note: both men out of food, but have a fire for ccoking ok, each man picks up the stick at same time each wants the stick saying its their stick made long ago by folks like them or the other folks like the other person stolen form the land stolen from them etc etc but no matter right or wrong as present situation has danger now and each has one end of the stick and they push & pull the stick in anger battle war between each with each's "point" as a weapon as the hungry bear gets closer this bear can be the food they need to eat if they share the stick both "touch" the stick and point it away from each other so the stick can have both pointed ends accomplish a good for both men or they can push & pull on the stick each trying to stick the other man with the point the point of a stick never trying to make a point on how the stick should be used different in peace between themselves pointed in the ground, shared and outward to serve and protect both sides
