Something I recently learned from a shur Shlomo Carlbach gave says. If a stranger were to step on your toe you would be angry, but if someone you loved did it, it hurts you so much more. Cause you love them.. Not reacting to this is supposed to be the best way to deal with it. Because by getting angry you would be bringing the negative energy down into this world; he says to walk away. The love is so intense that in order to keep balance in the world. You would have to fill your heart with that much negativity in order to balance out the love. So the only thing you can do is to walk away and forget it.
How does one do that from this view?
I always say hate is a strong word.
You couldn’t hate anything because you have to love it in order to hate it. It has to own that little piece of emotion in your heart. There for its not possible to hate.
How do I not hate the people who did this?

Seeing pictures of Israelis burning our own flag didn't upset me, it angered me.
if you really understood why they were doing it, you couldn't hate them. You could still think it was a bad thing to do, but if you really understood what it meant to them?
but yosef.. i dont understand what it means to them? It's our land.
why does it mean so much to them?
That would be like like me deciding i want your hair... hey he has fun hair i want it. When i get it, it doesnt mean as much to me. It would be dead once removed from its roots. So too would be the land of isrrael with out us. Because it's alive with in you. Taking israel from us... it wouldnt be a holy place anymore. so they are just getting land..
Dont they want the holiness? I feel it would mean more to them with us there. They should just let us co-reside.
