The world awakes this
morning to the sound of missiles being fired, as if the era regressed to the
way it was in World War Two.
Looking at the
rationale for the escalation to large quantities of missile exchange, was it
the series of abducted and ‘dehumanized’ teenagers within recent weeks?
Those with, the knowledge
of how to carry forth with prudence, and wisdom that weigh properly measure for
measure, thought that the solution to precluding violence that resembles the
events of 20 or 30 years ago, was done so by the thorough work of police
conducting their investigations into the abduction exchange. The investigations did occur. So why did violence escalate to the extent it
has? Now the question is, was the
missile exchange seen now, inevitable?
It seems there were
some confessions as to the abductions. Is that enough to catapult into full scale
war?
The concentration of
violence is reported to be in the Gaza area.
Reports are almost 40
people have died since Monday day before yesterday. Reports also indicate about 700 people have
been wounded in that time frame. Are all
35 to 40 people dead intricately tied to the teen abductions of the last few
weeks?
The populations in
the world that know the trends of the ‘Palestine-Israel’ conflict, could almost
sense the escalation to increased violence was coming, if a viable solution to
preclude them was not set in place in time.
'Palestine-Israel'
conflict, is in quotes because there is more going on in the region, a region
with holy attributions that goes back to the times at least of Isa/Jesus, the
Injeel, or as popularly known, 'Biblical Times', than just a two-way strife of
violence by one side Palestinians, and the other side Israelis.
Problematic to the
recent teen abduction situation, is the history of illegal smuggling that has
gone on in the region for years, especially around 2009. Human organ smuggling, such as kidney
smuggling, is one of the markedly popularly known black market schemes of
concern.
It is known by those
familiar with the region, that certain areas, especially at night, are not
areas where it is prudent to be traveling or hitchhiking. This is not to say that the entirety of the
teen abduction that occurred recently was due to hitchhiking in unsafe areas,
what it does bring up are subject areas that need to be immediately addressed:
1- The increase in safety measures using non-violent technologies for regions
which could be loosely described as ‘low zones’, these zones meaning areas not
as populated, not as wealthy, and not as urbanized. Referent areas
might have been used to sneak crimes such as trafficking in. Has there been an adequate upsurge in the
safety measures that are comprised of surveillance cameras and lighting, been
provided for all, Palestinians, Israelis, tourists, visitors, travelers to pay
respects to the Holy Land and Holy Sites, and diplomats?
2- Palestinian and Israeli identity in the sense of belonging, among the youth. Knowledge can wade away, and new methods of
accessing, organizing, and presenting knowledge evolve. What is a Palestinian, what is an Israeli?-
is something that , where some youth might find out in the course of study,
that they have ancestry to both sets of groups, and have to make a decision as
to who they belong. Moving to the next point…
3-
…Which leads to, is the two-pronged framework of either Palestinian or Israeli
overly simplified with respect to where everything is now? Are youth being forced to enter one of two
camps, when not applicable, nor appropriate, and which could contribute to
fueling conflict?
4- Parents, markedly of youth that are in the 18 to 25 year old age group, from
all over the world, areas of Europe that has seen waves from there to
Israeli immigration at the forefront, must be appropriately aware that their
son or daughter who might have joined the Israeli military, might have done so
without having the same kind of long-dated sense of ancestral ties to Bany
Israel, briefly translated as the Sons, Children, or Tribe of Israel, Israel,
Palestine, Assyria, or eastern Egypt, Trans-Jordan, or other regions that may
have come and gone in place-name, in or very near the now known as
Palestine-Israel region.
The principal and
concept of ‘keep out our Holy War’, can sometimes be unfair to the rest of the
world. When world leaders have to stop
what they are doing, to assist in the peace process after a sudden increase
spike in violence, it pulls away from the set of people that are being asked to
mind their business. For example, here
in the U.S., there are economic challenges that include children not having par
level education, in some cases, inadequate school facilities to even go to
school. Rates of joblessness,
homelessness, and hunger, have affected Americans nationwide. Straightforwardly, they need money, help, and
assistance. When the food gets taken out
of hungry children’s’ mouths, so that a Palestine-Israel situation can be
urgently attended, many become involved, even if remotely indirectly.
Generally, progress
of the human being, becomes an issue, when Palestine and Israelis go at it, as
if it were decades ago. The fortune of
non-violent technology becoming available that can be used to work toward
peaceful solutions, has to be used ahead of using minimal increases in
technology such as more powerful rockets.
In closing this brief news with
some commentary, is the concern of the balance of attention that a region at
war gains, and also when the parties involved in the conflict are
geographically adjacent to each other.
Ukraine-Russia from a few months ago, Korea-Japan from a few weeks ago,
turbulence over the South-China Sea, who deserves most?
