Free of Fear

‘Being free of fear is not a matter of never feeling it, but of not being flattened when we do. We can feel it and know it is a natural phenomenon, also an impermanent one, which will have its say and be gone.’

- David Guy, Trying to Speak: A Personal History of Stage Fright.

Watch Fear

Fear demands to be felt, and it can be felt most readily in the body, as a powerful sensation. The experience may be uncomfortable, but as you watch fear manifest in the body, the truth of the Buddha's words is revealed: It does arise because of conditions. It is not a wall of emotion, but a constantly changing process. And it finally ends. It has its say and departs.

If you have been following the discussion groups lately you’d see a couple of newish claims by the Israel Haters. As so often when one starts they all do. Makes one wonder if they are directed by an advertising agency. The two claims are More Palestinian than Israeli dead proves Israel are murderers and White Phosphorus in Gaza = Sarin in Syria. We’ll discuss them in turn.

So few Israeli casualties

In a sense the haters are correct. Israel kills many more of them than they do of us. The Palestinians and the Lebanese Hizbullah have failed, despite their evil intentions, to kill anywhere near the number of Jews they hope for.

Killing many more of your enemy’s fighters than they kill of yours’ once had a name. That name was victory. Now it is being pushed as proof that Israelis are vicious murderers.

I tend to ask those who bring up that argument, how many dead Jews would make them happy – they never answer.
