Two Types of Blackmail. Two types of blackmail are holding at present the modern world at bay-- One needed solution is how to counter the slaughter of the Ukranians Where if pressed too hard, there is the constant fear of nuclear retaliation. The second needed solution is how to counter the slaughter of Palestinians When there is the continual religious guilt and pain, knowing that at one time, The aggressor was once the victim of slaughter of its own. With more love, compassion, and understanding from all, This totality of basic cruelty might be mercifully obliterated and resolved. Frank Maurer 12 December 2023 0905 Hours.
