There's a nasty trick about propaganda – if believed it justifies all types of slander, cruelty and murder, torture, dread and fear of foes whose outlines are anything but clear. It's easy to shovel men into a box, trap women and children behind welded locks, to group people into a small pigeonhole, to say they're intruders, that they have no soul. Many nations do it still unto this day regardless of how much for peace they might pray, in public bemoaning the fate of their race, in private bulldozing with a headlong pace. There's no single answer to lasting problems, no cause for repeating those nasty pogroms that once plagued a people who now, to be sure, are almost as bad as the Nazis once were.
