Who really should be creating a climate of peace in the Mideast?

Recently the first two sentences of a BIOCOM news article initiated a series of thoughts about the desire for peace.  Have you noticed that the world is not designed for letting people live and let live in peace with mutual respect?  Hence humans dream of the coming of a Messiah and they dream of a messianic age.  The very nature of life is tension and strife that arises out not just for the needs for basic survival (food, clothing, shelter sex) but also out of other innate drives such as a desire for power and control.  We are witnessing such desires become overt actions in North Africa and the Mideast as well as in other living arrangements throughout the world.  Cruelty, meanness, chronic lying, deceitfulness, greed etc. rule.  Cooperation and working for ones mutual benefit does exists at all levels of society but only within restricted conditions.

The two sentences that stimulated the above thoughts were: “US President Barack Obama told a delegation of Jewish leaders on Tuesday that Israel must create a context for peace with the Palestinians. President Obama said that Israel must use its military, political and cultural strength to create this climate in order to move forward towards peace talks.”

Why is it that Obama always puts the onus on Israel to do things?  When will there be a change in the political philosophy underlying such thinking?  When other nations win wars, it is the loser who sues for peace.  Israel is the only nation that the world demands that if it wishes to survive, it damn well better sue for peace and make as many concessions as it takes to satisfy the loser.  This attitude of the winner suing for peace, which is imposed on Israel, has been such from the very beginning of its modern existence. Obama is just continuing the antisemitic tradition.  Israel is a country that cannot afford to lose any war.  Its very existence depends on winning.  A single loss would lead to its complete destruction and the death of its Jewish citizens and life for Jews throughout the world would then become very precarious.  The above truth is derived from the writings and sayings of virtually all the recent past and current Arab political and religious leaders.  There is a profound antisemitism pervading this world.

After every war, Israel has returned conquered territory and still there is no peace.  The closest is the cold peace existing between Egypt and Israel and Jordan and Israel.  Why is there no comparable pressure being exerted on the artificially made up group of people called “Palestinians?”  Why should they not have to create a climate of peace?

Why can the Arab/Muslims and “Palestinians” keep going to war against Israel and suffer no consequences?  Why?   Because fellow Muslims have oil and the west needs their oil?  Why can the Arab/Muslims keep calling for the destruction of Israel and the death of all Jews but Israel has to create the climate of peace?  Have we entered the world of the surreal?  Apparently, Obama and other political leaders live in this surreal world.

It is about time that this vicious cycle of hate on the part of the Arab/Muslims is broken.  It is time to put the onus on the real people who have to create the climate of peace –  The Arab/Muslims.

The breaking of the cycle is unlikely to happen; it is comparable to the dream for a messiah.

Because the US and the Western nations have not learned and do not understand that only thing that the Arab/Muslims understand is strength and cruelty and act on it,  the ongoing cultural-religious war between Islam and the West is ongoing and does not seem to have an end in sight.  This mental aberration on part of the West coupled to other social and political forces, provides the philosophical basis for Obama and others to demand that Israel sue for peace;  that Israel give up tangible assets for an intangible a piece of paper promising peace which, according to Sharia law, can be abrogated at anytime.  According to Mohammad. such peace treaties are temporary “time-out” conveniences permitting the Arab/Muslims to rearm and regroup for the next step in their on-going war against the rest of the world and their desire to dominate and control – thereby making all subservient to Islam and its god Allah.  We already heard how many Egyptians want to terminate the peace agreement with Israel – but, when they do that, I bet that they will not return the Sinai Peninsula with all the Israeli developed oil fields back to Israel.

The world is in turmoil and no one has a clue as to how it is going to turn out.  One can only dream and hope.
