Israel is the Melting Pot for the One World Religion with no dogmas and no heaven, sort of like the Beatles song "Imagine". Israel, needless to say, was created over the protestations of the indigenous peoples, the Palestinians, by International World Jewry. The first immigrations began shortly after WW1, when the British Empire ignored its promises to Lawrence of Arabia et al to guarantee the creation of an "Independent Palestinian State" from the remains of the Ottoman Empire and rather allowed European Jews to migrate there. The next wave came courtesy of Rudolf Hess and the "Transfer Agreement" with Nazi Germany that saw thousands of German Jews emmigrate to the region. Then, of course, came waves of Jews after WW2 and a United Nations mandate which created the "State of Israel" in 1948. World Jewry cited a Divine Mandate from the Book of Genesis in the Holy Bible as the reason they could use any measure whatsoever, up to and including fraud, deceit, and outright terrorism, to evict residents from their ancestral homes.

Two wrongs never made a right, however, and so one cannot condone the Palestinians using similar measures against their new overlords. And so what has ensued is nothing but an escalating spiral of violence, hatred, and vandalism and murder.

All that being said, the current conflict seems most accurately to be between Al-CIAda's Useful Idiots and the Mossad's Nodding Yahoos. I don't think even the average occupant of Gaza nor Citizen of Israel has a proverbial dog in this fight, and certainly nothing to gain but another round of duck and cover.

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us. You are our only hope!

The way you closed rings true for me: we don’t need more debate, we need healing. This is one of the most absolutely convoluted conflicts in the history of humanity and there are a number of ways to interpret the history of the region. That being said, it pains me to have so many people, most of whom woke up yesterday to the suffering of both Palestinians and Jews, with such inflammatory opinions. What isn’t particularly complicated about this is that this conflict involves the innocent lives of many. It is not complicated to set down the pull of intellectualizing thing and just be with the hurt that is. Sometimes I think if people allowed the grief, I mean, really allowed it, clarity would follow. And it’s not just this conflict either. So many innocent people, incomprehensible numbers, have been killed in so many wars started by people who do not have a care for the citizens of this world. It is exceedingly clear that further war will not serve the beloved dead, their bereaved families, and the rubble left behind. I am Jewish, I have been a critic of the Israeli regime and their longtime treatment of Palestinian people. I am grieving. I am certainly traumatized. I see hatred from all angles now. It is very callous when people proceed with their “talking points” in the midst of such grief. We can’t conflate people with governments.

May peace prevail.
