There's a short story by Andy Weir called "The Egg", and the premise -- spoiler alert -- is that every human being is a reincarnation of the same single soul cycling through reality over and over inhabiting each person. So every person on Earth -- parents, their children, bosses and employees, your best friend, your lover, your rival, every politician and their opponent and every voter too are all fundamentally the same person interacting with themselves.
And if one can get past their hatred for members of a genocidal cult, it's a profound metaphor. If we appreciate all creatures as linked, Every Nazi was unwittingly murdering their own brother. Every American in Vietnam didn't realize that the person on the other end of the bullet was secretly their own father. And this doesn't just hold for the bad guys: every American who shot a Nazi was killing a version of themselves.
War is hell. The Israelis got sold a lie, that it was possible to poison a hand that you didn't like, as if poison can be isolated to one part of a whole. The mission has been one of mutual death this whole time, and so many of them only discover it after they sold their soul.
