THE BETTER ANGELS OF PEACE

 

THE BETTER ANGELS OF PEACE

As I sit here pondering the history of the Holy Land, I can't help but come to the realization that it's all a load of BS. Yes, you heard me right. The history that we've been fed for years does little to change the situation we face today. The reality is that Israel exists and the Palestinian people deserve their own state. Both sides deserve security and peace, but what we've done since the creation of the state of Israel has never produced either.

It's time to face the facts. The belief that a "good guy" armed to the teeth will stop a "bad guy" armed to the teeth is nothing but a fallacy. It hasn't worked for anyone except for the arms dealers and war mongers. We need a different approach.

What if we put an end to the religious BS and created two states, guaranteed by the rest of the world? I know, I know, it sounds idealistic. But what's the alternative? Another 75 years of death and destruction in the Middle East?

Let's be real. The current situation isn't working. It's time to try something new. We need to put aside our differences and work towards a solution that benefits everyone involved. It won't be easy, but it's necessary.

We need to stop viewing the situation as a battle between good and evil. It's not that simple. Both sides have their own valid concerns and grievances. We need to listen to each other and work towards a solution that addresses those concerns.

It's time to end the cycle of violence and hatred. We need to start building bridges instead of walls. We need to work towards a future where both Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace and security.

I know it won't be easy, but it's time to try. Let's put aside our differences and work towards a brighter future for all those living in the Holy Land.
