Like any other normal, sensible person I would love to see peace in the Middle East. It would indeed be wondrous to have a time when the sons of Isaac and the sons of Ishmael could water their sheep together on the banks of the Jordan.
But, for peace to occur, Israel needs a peace partner to negotiate with, an entity that recognises that it is in the interest of both the average Arab and the average Jew in the region to live in peace and to cooperate with each other. Unfortunately, Israel does not have such a peace partner, they have instead the screaming nutjobs of Allah to deal with both in the West Bank of the Jordan area and, as is this example below, from Gaza.
There’s nothing coming from that speaker that gives me any confidence whatsoever that the leadership of the Arabs in Gaza and on the West Bank actually want a genuine and long lasting peace. Its’ just more of the same aggression, threats, prayers for murder and naked burning hatred as we’ve seen on many other occasions coming from ‘Palestinian’ talking heads and political leaders. Whenever I see these sorts of videos from Memri, the organisation that uploaded it, I find myself asking the question: ‘How on Earth could any sensible first world nation negotiate anything meaningful with scum like that?’
Sadly, we have a situation in the Middle East where one side desperately desires peace and which understands that a lasting peace is in everyone’s best interests whilst the other can progress no further than screaming out ‘Kill the Jews’.
The wife wanted a cat and I wanted a dog. So we compromised. We got a cat.
The Jews want peace, the others want all Jews dead. Not much flexibility there or even a starting point for discussion so why bother?.
When objectives are so far apart a compromise can never be reached and forcing one upon them via a third party just means both parties end up with the shitty end of the stick. This means it doesn’t last and until both sides come up with something viable I’m afraid I’m supporting the one with the reasonable demands.
The nature of the Arab peoples (descendants of Ishmael) Is described in Genesis 16;12
“a wild ass among men; his hand shall be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. And he shall dwell over against all his brethren” (Genesis 16:12).
Have you noticed this action around the world ? It started 1400 years ago & still continues
every day !!!
If you follow a ‘wild ass of a man’ then you are likely to create a culture that produces a large numbers of men who are wild asses.
