So, hopefully enough has been said about the problem: 1, 2. Being no historian, I guess I kind of have to draw on what little history I know, as well as what little I’ve experienced, including all those experiences and knowledges that seem sincerely gleaned from the divine, to posit some, any, idea about what might actually be helpful in such a situation in which neither party particularly wants real peace.
So I guess that’s the place to begin. That is, the place to begin is someone wanting real peace. Even better, if there is a God over there, and my experience tells me that there is God everywhere, if a pair of people are good friends, one Israeli, one Palestinian, and they decide amongst themselves that they are tired of having a wall placed between their two peoples. Perhaps by some miracle the Israeli’s let the Palestinian into one of their schools, and these two people have been educated together. But if not, a sincere bond of friendship seems like it should be enough.
Or perhaps just one person on either side of the wall. Given that it is turning people onto non-violence that tends to bring about real change, if only someone on the Palestinian side of the wall would inspire those around him or her to put aside explosives and start leading protests of sitting, singing, and teaching love of those walling them in, the walls may come crashing down. OR if a well educated young Israeli man or woman who is nearing adulthood had a natural aversion to carrying Assault rifles on their back, perhaps they will question the wisdom of the law of their land necessitating that violence be taught and thoroughly ingrained into every adult who is a natural-born citizen of a country that might make a claim to ever wanting to have any peace at all. Perhaps questioning the law mandating societal violence will inspire someone to lead others to view Palestinians as human beings rather than inherently an enemy first, person second, and thus they will begin organizing in peaceful protest. Those protests will then expand to include Palestinian brothers and sisters. And if they truly want peace, they will have it, one land undivided by the common blood running through each-others veins.
I cannot accept, and will not accept a God that divides its creations against each other as though we were created only to be a sick form of entertainment for something that laughs behind our backs as we do nothing but suffer death. Therefore, I accept no God to be Jewish and I accept no God to be Muslim. I accept no God to be Palestinian and I accept no God to be Israeli. If anyone defines God as anything but a consciousness that wants most for human being to shake the hand of fellow human being, no matter where they happen to be born, or what book they were severely brain-damaged by straight out of the womb, I have no interest in believing that such an entity had any say whatsoever in any happening of my life. It will not be worshiped by me. And when brothers and sisters, Palestinian and Israeli, stand side by side to declare loudly, and without guns, knives, and bombs, that they will share the common Earth upon which they reside as human beings, and not as puppets of governments and false teachers of Gods of dust and ash, peacefully, and gratefully, then I will say thus is the will of the only living God; Thank God that the insanity people once mistook as deity has finally come to pass. Amen.
