Powerful statement from POTUS: "I caution this while you feel that rage, don't be consumed by it."

Courage & Wisdom

“I caution this while you feel that rage, don’t be consumed by it. After 9/11, we were enraged in the US. While we sought justice and got justice, we also made mistakes… The vast majority of Palestinians are not Hamas. Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people.”

— President Biden, speaking in Israel.

It is cruel to make the 98% suffer for a few.

Like Biden said, America is familiar with rage and the ill results that come from rage.

A measure of thought I've desperately lacked this week. A reminder I needed.
