Any country which starts major war at present, has no discernment for either  its own or other nations future  – and the ramifications this will bring to any existing life being affected, both human life, and all others  –  whether this is nearby or far away.

Both for this generation and next generations, the efforts being put in preparing for war, far better being used to prepare for an enduring and lasting peace, whether this is in Ukraine or the Middle East or anywhere else..

In fact ideological differences can be fruitful enough to facilitate creative solutions, – at least to live in the best possible harmony, even when we don’t really like each other. And surely the last can change more positively on the spirit of combined human endeavors, which is hard to see at present.

Human made differences can be resolved by human based engagement – to genuinely remove the hatred being often the root of enduring conflict, while respecting territorial boundaries. The last  often the source of friction.

Historical hatred and ideological differences have never been good enough to be fruitful, through the generations of innocent people – or bring any prosperity, whether the last is through common endeavors in uncharted territories,  to preserve this planet, or simply in terms of trade agreements – with mutual benefit. Ordinary citizens in both Iran and Israel don’t want war.

With total war the discussion about territorial boundaries will be completely lost because all people responsible for the perception of those specific boundaries – will perish on self inflicted fires of a total destructive war. In essence it’s perhaps not about boundaries’, but Iran unable to accept Israel.

The point is that humanity has created instruments of war, which, being used, will destroy, both all human spirit and human created infrastructure – to maintain peace and stability. Iran not accepting Israel is a lost and inflated paradigm, based on a very narrow ultra right wing doctrine, the last supporting terror against Israel, while Israel responded against terror in not rarely disproportionate ways.

As a people we should not be under the protection of a handful of leaders who have no foresight that in the final analysis, protection under the nuclear umbrella – is no protection at all. The only protection being reliable is the discernment and wisdom of leadership – to use power with utterly restraint.

It’s either we create or destroy, – and in the destruction with modern warfare all visible life can be destroyed on the battlefields of total senseless violence, brutal in nature and violating  all human rights and conventions – the last being once established after the terror and brutality of the last 2nd world war.

Weapons we need, but with ongoing destruction we will be never freed.

So let them negotiate a new way to peace being the main outcome of their attention – in the discussions about preventing major conflict, however the last more respectful and considerate than was done before. Abolishing terror from both sides seems the best starting point.

History showed that humanity is never too old to learn, but still young enough to allow the context and contents of relentless violence, – never been shown fruitful on the long run, unless it was used to destroy pure evil, where other means failed. The Middle East has been the domain of wars since the start of biblical stories. And it can’t be true that the destiny of the Middle East is war; it’s the free choice of human beings being the actors in the domain of politics.

The dimensions of peace and war, will be only decided in a small group of powerful people, – elected or not elected,

But let it be known that the powers being created by the intelligence of a few, can’t be allowed to be used by this tiny group of powerful people – at the cost of all living and innocent people in the Middle East. People who care for their children and want a better future.

That is where we stand today.
