Waging Peace by Extending Respect
Other Curezone threads have mentioned the taking of Palestinian Land. The disrespect of Oppression and Tyranny can eminate from Democratically elected governments. A Despot is not required for Despostism to occur.
On other Bulletin Boards, many disrespectful actions by Palestinians and Israelis are listed. Is there a Forum to suggest attenuations or lessening of disrespectful acts between the parties?
The gravity of the situation is that creation of neuclear fallout is relatively readily available to all parties. Where is the Forum that can encourage the parties to adopt policies that lead to respect and Prosperity? Where is the forum sugggesting mutual actions toward mutual respect among the parties?
The Palestinians and Israelies have many crafty and powerful champions. The Western Rescuers are busy building defenses and camera survelance systems against the Muslim Militant Rescuers of the Palestininans. Western emphasis is on defense, not building the respect that can lead to peace. I suggest that the West cannot build adequate defenses, and should seriously pursue policies of building respect and trust. There is much emphasis on retaliation, but Killing does not build faith in the Rule of Law, but erodes the basis for faith.
Cowboy American Presidents are going to keep horsing around and eventually get the U.S. Nuked.
Israel insists on the stopping of suicide bombers. Are there steps that can be taken in addition to giving the Palestinians back the land? How can the feelings between Arabs and Jews be re-constructed on pillars of trust?
