16 May Tricked and Kicked
Whats there on the list– xenofobic radical nationalism? One thing is sure the exclusionary thinking from both states about…
…what is ‘holy land’ and who owns it. Well I put, indeed, quite rough basically slipping off an idea of quitting the multi-ethnic religious identity of a land that believed to be inherited through many many generations, belong to one nation.
Alternative plan from Saudi Arabia? ‘Nope’ someone just groaned across the Atlantic. Not sure what was in that plan, but it was staunchly opposed by Israel and the US.
New Palestinian state inside Saudi Arabia? Um, another ‘Nah’ to Israeli suggestion… (btw in russian ‘nah’ means quite more of ‘f*ck off’)
Swooping off a table the most humane way-out options for both sides and leaving whats been ‘nicely-putted’ at first place: One-state solution and the “Rivera of the Mid East”.
Go for…”Rivera of the Middle East” or ’till the last’ idea. The most obvious ones so far to the Israeli side, and if they would play all its cards to make matters worse — ghastly turn in Israel-Palestine war would be guaranteed.
With the “Rivera…” choice, Israel would steer away from the long-held foreign policies with EU alliances, forge a strong business cooperation with the US: USA would have a full access to the Mediterranean and Mid East business; Promote greater Israeli control over the Mid East economy. Yeah, I certainly might see this on a “The Blessing” map of…er, you know who.
Lots at stake right now, and tough language coming out between Saudi and Iran, and Syria’s shaky stance after Assad’s regime, and flipish relationship between Saudi vs Turkey ( Arab spring)…
For sure, after-all, Gaza would be lucky to have a peace deal for 5 years, or a decade if like no one would notice ’em. Would be such a blessing — pff A MIRACLE!
What's next ?
“Alarmed by reported plans by Israel…” ( UN Secretary)
“… a breach of international law. We reject any such plans or attempts at demographic change.” (EU leaders)
“Israel…deadly cancerous tumour…” ( Iran’s supreme leader)
Sloppy narratives and silly info — pulled from many news channels and websites — that doesn’t say much on what stage this dispute is now?; guns down?; stop the shooting?; ceasefire?; agreed on smth, terms?… Pity, its got even more confusing now, at least to me it is.
No apparent progress towards ceasefire. Last one, the two-month truce term, didn’t last a week, shuttered by Israel in a few days, starting a full blockade of Gaza — stopping all aid whether food or medicine.
One another crafting some kind of supremacy and not security; not talking here about two states — Israel is clearly winning at the moment — but bringing all the Gulf states.
What to be sure with, its that Israel and Palestine are gradually cutting all the ties that were ever EVER between them. They are both writing a long history of hatred towards each other that has no ending, like it would ever have…
