I desire there to be true and lasting peace in The Middle East. As long as I can remember I have heard about terrorist attacks, at least since 9/11. I think I remember hearing a World Leader say it is just a matter of how many people are lost before Lasting Peace is established.
Israel in the past has allowed cease fire and peace that has given terrorists room to continue to launch rockets and terrorize the people of Israel. The World was slow to react in World War 2 and genocide + gas chambers was a result, not to mention use of atomic bombs (which could easily be a problem if things scaled out of control again). Thus, I find Israel’s current position understandable, desire to eliminate the threat against their current and future generations matters, and as history has shown the World has not always been sufficient antisemitism out.
All that said I do not want law abiding peaceful Muslim people that are in Palestine hurt. I am not sure I see a future where Israel can allow people to continuously shoot rockets at their citizens, they will have to have the potential to secure and protect their borders. Further destroying the mindset of devaluing and dehumanizing Jewish people in the Middle East is paramount. The idea words like Zionists should be wiped from the face of the map aren’t the same kind of propaganda the Nazis used, propaganda that has potential to lead to genocide would be wrong.
Convincing the World to be less dehumanizing and more supportive of each other, fostering mindsets and ideas that lead to bridges-built matters in not fully appreciated ways. Words we invest in today will likely echo in time 10 years, 20 years, 100 years from now in ways that are hard to fully comprehend.
Maybe it is too late for the current generation to grow up in a World full of Peace and a World without the Possibility for Terrorist Attacks and Genocide. Being in 2023, so long after World War II, so long after The Civil Rights Movement, it seems like Humanity should be past the point where Race and Dehumanization is grounds to limit each other. I would like to hope that one day generations will no longer fall into and facilitate the same ways of thinking that has left our World torn again and again.
We have real problems like natural disasters and climate change, that likely would have greater support if we had less political unrest in the World, less chances to die due to terrorist attacks or wars sparked by them. Less problems matter, and 8 billion people will likely grow to 16 billion, and 32 billion – the sooner we make real and lasting change high potential for amazing implications that could lead to far greater breakthroughs on medicine, prolonging life, and increasing quality of life for all people on Earth and in Space (ISS Citizens and other Space Stations count too).
Israeli citizens to never having to fear that others in the region will try to wipe them off the face of the map factors into reduced stress, and reduced stress equals greater potential and power for investments in fields other than military and requirements for protectionism. Lasting change matters, and as they are experiencing these problems in 2023, seems like our World has a problem carrying forward momentum of positive change, like less Jewish people hurt after WWII.
1000 years from now will people talk about how we worked through our differences and banded together to save humanity from the Devil and Evil mindsets fostering enormous impacts for generations? I hope so
