My Middle East Questions

The events taking place in the world today unfold like a sick soap opera, supposedly Earthlings are intelligent beings -- a doubtful assumption – a presumptuous opinion – perhaps, but, if we are intelligent, we are neither good nor wise.

Who is running this show? Are we captured under the spell of a major brainwashing hoax? We seem controlled by some obsessive biblical power, but it’s not godly goodness, it’s a horror show.

Take as example the present Middle East quagmire:

How much is the world willing to pay for the survival of Israel? Why is the world held responsible for its continued existence? How long is this situation going to last?

Sometimes I think enough is enough…

Why is it always -- What Israel wants…???? Who are the Israelis? Is their claim to the land of Palestine legitimate in 21st century terms? Are the immigrant-Jews that have flooded onto that speck of land, the rightful descendants of the “Chosen People?” How is the Jewish “right to the Promised Land” justified to those whose conviction are outside the biblical sphere of belief and influence?

Was the Iraq War and removal of Saddam Hussein demanded by Israel? Was it for Israel that USA forces occupied Iraq and Afghanistan? Is Islamic terrorism rooted into Israel’s presence in the Middle East? If Israel has to be, can it only be by ceaseless military grind?

It’s hard to accept that we cannot have a few years of peace because of Israel and related problems in the Middle East.

When are we going to wake up from these continuing Semitic nightmares? What is the meaning of the expression -- Anti Semitism? Are they not Semites, the ancient Hebrews, the Akkadians, the Phoenicians, and the modern Arabs? Are modern Jews, Semites?

What would Judaism be today if Christianity and Islam had not followed?

In whose name millennia of war, occupation, murder and destruction? For whose profit centuries of hatred and distrust? Why can’t Israel be for Judaism what the Vatican is for Christianity or Mecca for Islam?

But here, deviating from biblical ranting and raving, my questions still remain:

Why is "diplomacy" dilly-dallying with the willpower to curb the present Hezbollah – Israel Conflict? Who wants war? Who are the suppliers of such obscene and massive numbers of weapons?
Can we stop the producers and production of military equipment? Are weapon manufactures those responsible for starting wars to unload their colossal arsenals?

Does Israel really believe that continuing military rampages can neutralize Hezbollah or its inevitable successors? Are devastating attacks on Lebanon and the obstruction of humanitarian aid not brutal and criminal acts?

Does a real Peace Plan really exist? I don't think so, whoever runs this Show does not want peace...

I am sorry to say that I do not trust Israel any more than I would trust any other self-serving organization. Israel is alway too ready to put in action the might of its military powers... and I do not mean the number of soldiers or generals or experts it has, but the billion-dollar war-machinery it stockpiles...
