I want all Reporters blessed and protected Worldwide. I desire Peace. That said it seems like October 7th is whitewashed in the conversations that I am hearing at times from both Reporters and The United Nations.
Hiroshima out of context could easily be up sold to Monstrous. There might have been better solutions, one could debate about that now given years upon years of analysis. I haven’t really heard arguments for how it should have been better addressed (though I am not sure where I would look to hear them). Out of context equals high potential for more up to speculation likely equals potentially less investment. Stopping More Atomic Bombs dropped in current context is important, preventing uncontrollable momentum toward WW3 is important.
Wikipedia says 2977 victims on September 11th, 2001
Wikipedia says 1200 Victims in Israel + Hostages taken. From those numbers that feels not too far off from September 11th, 2001
Imagine if similar had happened to the US after terrorists were allowed to just send rocket after rocket over years of time at one of our cities skylines.
Wikipedia says 2403 Dead after Pearl Harbor (and reminder World population was smaller back then, equal proportionally greater). What would have happened if the World said, called for a cease fire? If the Japanese imperialists were a terrorist group that built tunnels under their citizens cities? Set the combined inaction that allowed Gas Chambers and atrocities against the Jewish people to of less consequence has shown precedent for amplifying less than sufficiently.
I like Asian countries and I do not desire to re-amplify Anti-Asian sentiment based upon old wars long past. That said not addressing History (at least as I know it, a Historian or Expert might be able to better clarify things I cannot) seems unwise, potentially dangerous. Information amplifies less than ideally, cyber security is far less than ideal, history is not always recorded accurately or without bias, further bias is hard, very hard for even the best people on Earth to more ideally divest from.
Where I sit in the World matters. I am blessed to be safe, thus I have more capacity to deliver words, words that are likely to amplify more ideally for some than others. I want all blessed and protected and I want all terrorist groups to no longer be able to wage war against peaceful citizens. I realize oppression in the World is far less than ideal even in 2023, that said inspiring people to positive ends that do not involve violence is paramount to actually save future generations from that oppression and greater levels of oppression.
I lived through September 11th, 2001. I was in Dallas, while the attacks against New York City and The Pentagon were taking place. 2023, many years later I can say I have done everything I can to inspire less terrorists in the World, give those hurting in the World greater opportunities that might steer them towards positive paths and support that doesn’t try to turn them into terrorists? No. I work with computers, I have not always had freedom, I have not always felt I have had sufficient words or training to comment on things happening in the World. I still don’t feel like I am an ideal communicator, that said inaction and lack of words has shown precedent for not delivering ideally over time.
In 2043, 20 years will have passed. 20 years that the World has the potential to inspire better paths all while trying to prevent worse paths. Allot can happen over 20 years, people that might be trying to help might lose their freedom or experience persecution, and oppression I cannot even imagine. Just because I attempt to inspire better paths does not guarantee others in the World will.
October 7th , 2023 in Israel happened even after September 11th, 2001, and all the years of investment by the World in better. I am not sure exactly what needs to change, that said it seems like we should be further along after 20 years. There are more problems in the World outside of The Middle East, The Middle East to having less war and conflict would equal greater capacity to help other parts of the World that are hurting in instances such as Natural Disasters. Greater Peace and Stability, Less Problems in advance equals greater capacity. 2123 will there be Peace in the Middle East? If not, how much will the rest of the World have lost due to conflicts that prevent other topics from becoming center stage? Haiti is The United States Neighbor, More Capacity upfront Matters.
Like the four seasons, I might pray for it to never get too cold, does not equal it won’t snow. I might pray for it not to get too hot, does not necessarily mean God won’t allow it to get too hot. Haiti is likely to have a Hurricane in the next 20 years if weather patterns continue, I will pray for less natural disasters in Haiti, does not equal God might not have other plans. I will pray for Peace in the Middle East, for Wisdom for All World Leaders that leads to Less Oppression and Greater Peace though my guess is many have already been praying for the same for years on end.
