Is it About Israeli Hegemony?

Above everything else, people are human. As people we are bound to make mistakes as much as we are able to be successful in any of our endeavors. We tend not to dwell on the blunders we make and depending on the seriousness, usually mentally write it off to ourselves a kind of teachable moment.
