ISRAELI ROCKET FIRE IN GAZA INTENSIFIES
MAYBE IT'S JUST ME, BUT....
There seems to be a necessity in this part of the world to tow total destruction of each side as a noble goal, in the belief that somehow, some way, the survivors or "winners" will have everlasting peace and been made right in their beliefs - much like their story in the Bible - despite the face of reality that their numerous prior attempts at the same thing have resulted in more conflicts (bombing, killing, starving, hating each other) and attacks.
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO FIGHT? WHY THE HELL DO YOU HATE EACH OTHER SO?
IS IT ONE SIDE DOMINATING THE OTHER FOR THE SAKE OF POWER?
OR THE OTHER SIDE HARASSING THEIR "NEW" NEIGHBOR SINCE THEY MOVED IN?
Israel: have you not lived among the so-called "western" nations long enough to know that fascism, of any kind from any body, or apartheid, of any form or body, just is immaturity in being a nation and not a solution to deal with people you perceive as adverse to you. Perhaps you are among "God's chosen people" as sometimes quoted by others, but that doesn't make you God. You should be working towards a strong peace agreement for both sides, and stop playing Master & Commander.
Palestinians: you're gonna have to accept that you are a minority in your own homeland, a result of European colonialism, but this should be the opportunity for you to help re-carve self-determined borders. Of course some will be with Israel - but instead of fighting for everything let's see what we can afford to give up. To a a greater extent you need your own homeland with geographical boundaries as comfortable and as soon as possible.
Mutual security for both of you is tantamount - for that reason alone you both need to put down your arms and talk peace. Both sides need to restrain their power, aggression, and fanaticism and have a regular, rational conversation. Then you can find solutions to why you can't seem to live with or next to one another, and what each other wants.
You'd think as older cultures they'd know better from experience that hatred rooted in fear is imaginary and their thoughts should elevate above it. Don't their "experienced" diplomats know this? Or psychiatrists? Or lawyers? Somebody???
