Interesting item in today's BBC news: "A leading figure in Hungary's far right Jobbik Party has been forced to resign after being exposed as Jewish. Csanad Szegedi's grandmother was an Auschwitz survivor and his grandfather a veteran of forced labour camps." What interesting things humans are! This man is from a family that has been savagely persecuted and, guess what, he becomes a leading light in a party that wants to persecute people - gypsies mostly. And, guess what, people vote for such parties. We can guess that at least some of the people who vote for them are people who feel persecuted themselves. And so it goes on.
Hatred does not cease with hating, hating only ceases with love - this is the eternal law, so say the wise.
