Further, deeper thinking on the issues that would require Western atonement to absolve errant actions in order to bring resolution and even restitution for the outrageous actions of antagonistic hatred from one quarter of the human footprint on earth to another is preposterously the failure of recognizing where such hostilities come from in the first place.
Who is at fault currently that whole sectors of indigenous populations are at risk of displacement, if not decimation, and why are those who are at the center of their own discontent taking it out on others who are not the real reason for the discontent? At the core of this is the propensity of humanity for blaming others for their own failures. One such example are the 'Palestinians' who have adopted the victim mentality for their predecessors attempting to prevent the return of the Children of Abraham to their promised land. The world was seduced to meddle and here we are, perpetuating a misjustice that too few realize they are being set up to pay for something they know nothing of.
Note: Atonement requires payment; if the oriental mindset is imposed here, who is really at risk for the repatriation? And what of complicity by any interlopers who are not true party to the indignities being imposed?
Atonement is coming: the problem is that the adjudication on the docket names more than the plaintiffs are willing to acknowledge. The Middle East was never the West's problem to solve; but complicity in ancient clashes of empire now requires judgement for being accomplice to injustices as a result of those clashes of empires in the ancient orient.
