Even in despair there is beauty, and hidden inside everything beautiful, there is always a tiny glimmer of hope.Their words
like a beakless, green-feathered bird, it reminded me that even in despair there is beauty, and that hidden inside everything beautiful, although we may not see it, there is always a tiny glimmer of hope.

Their words
And indeed, in terms of their basic worldview, there is complete alignment between Hamas and the messianic rightwing that sets the agenda in Netanyahu's government: both sides agree that there is room for only one nation in this land; their only quarrel is which one.

Humanity generally shares a common desire to see the suffering of both Israelis and Palestinians end.Their words
That was when I understood that, unlike my social media feeds, where there is a clear-cut split between Israel-lovers and Israel-haters, the rest of humanity is mostly very human: when it sees a panicked young Israeli woman being dragged into Gaza, it wants her to be released; when it sees a hungry Palestinian family huddled under a makeshift tent, mourning its dead, it wants their suffering to stop.

If we can simply look away from the scoreboard for a minute and focus on the rules of play, we'll discover that while we were so worked up about righteously defeating the other side, those rules changed unrecognizably.

In fact, it's even worse than losing. None of our struggles have decisive outcomes: wars are not won, election results are endlessly disputed.

Israel attempts to present itself as European despite its Middle Eastern location and surroundings.Their words

Their words
Over two decades have gone by, and the Middle East has only grown messier. Hamas, now a proxy for Iran, has become even more radical; Israel has imposed a blockade on the Gaza Strip, essentially turning it into a giant prison; the cycles of violence have grown ever more vicious.

In these anguished days in Israel and around the world, in an era of conflicts and hatred between opposing camps, if we were somehow able to at least use the same names for things, it would give me a shred of hope.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
