IMHO, the US is bitter with the Middle East. IMHO, terrorist organizations are bitter with the West and the US.
Can we help others to move past their bitterness?

No. Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible to help other people move past their bitterness. If you try, you will more than likely do nothing but make the person angrier, and in the process, more bitter. People have to want to get over their bitterness, and do something about it. Have you ever heard the statement, I can open the door, but I can't make you go through it? Well, it's kind of like that. We can tell them how much better it is to not be bitter, but they have to choose not to be in the end. Unless, of course, we tortured them. Then we might have a chance...

I agree, there is much bitterness between the two. The differences are so severe, that at this present time, I see no improvement in the near future.
Terrorists teach their children to hate the infidels as soon as they pop out of the womb. The west grows more arrogant.
Perhaps if there was a world-wide threat, the two would unite and disband their bitterness and mistrust.

The main trouble with dissent between nations is the peole in charge, who make the decisions. The politicians. Most of those who are involved in action are just doing what they were told - ultimately by someone who stays safely away and doesn't dirty his hands.
We can send light and blessings to the situation. This has helped resolve conflict within a more domestic scene, and if we all did, there might be an impact on a more global scale. Or perhaps to send just to the leaders, the decision makers ??? Why not ? It could do no harm, and may make a discernible difference.

If it doesn't kill you then it makes you stronger. This is why I feel all things whether they make you bitter or sad or whatever are meant to be filed away and used to help us improve ourselves. Forgetting or denying the bitterness or whatever is not the answer, but handling it and making it something of use is what people don't do enough of these days. Remember and impliment change for the good which usually involves more than a word or two. Deliberate and act...take care...

It's gone past bitterness to pissed-offedness. And everybody has themselves painted into a corner.
I've been watching this one building up for the last 40 years and I suspect that it'll take at least 3 or 4 generations to calm back down. (And that's assuming that nobody does anything -really- stupid)

You have little effect on other person because of their inner defense system. When approching somebody spiritualy or in a psychic way ....always use the pure approche of the simple 4 year old chid ....for the kingdom of heaven (of others) is given to those who become like children

Well we can teach other the Universal truth. Unless they understand this they will probably remain bitter.- God is one with many names. Your God is my God. (Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, Rama, etc.) One Supreme God with many name many traditions. Hallelujah, Hare Krishna, Allah Akbar, God is one! Realizing this will bring World Peace and all bitterness will turn sweet. Peace Brother
