Mideast Peace Oxymoron

Mideast Peace: Oxymoron Though descendent of Jews, I feel boggled at the brutal, nasty and wanton war between Israelis and Palestinians. Many innocent victims bred to know and hate their enemy impossible mission to reconcile one Semitic group of peoples from another. The bloody English begat and fomented debacle between Israelis and Palestinians. little more than a century ago, particularly usurping territory courtesy aggressive premise might makes right. The human species hell bent on making war reprisals rank as a , and can never even the score I harken back to childhood, when our family lived at Lantern Lane, and the Dailey's (who threw rocks at Georgie our Dalmation/Boxer) rightfully earned before their time the title fear thy neighbor an altercation such as aforementioned above, would easily earn a spot on Investigation Discovery though deadly crimes violently hardcore reenacted minus the explicit killing fields not healthy for children and other living things, nevertheless even the most pious and peace loving exhibit fervent bloody ardour if kith and kin held at gunpoint. The annals of civilization since time immemorial replete with chronicles of battlefield bravura touting (with laurels of profuse praise) for ultimate sacrifice unnaturally, unstintingly, and unwaveringly bravely giving oneself to father/mother land. Beneath the surface of the skin we all bleed; mortal kombat inked in Mesolithic Europe likewise dates to circa 10,000 years ago, and episodes of warfare appear to remain "localized and temporarily restricted" during the Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic period in Europe. Idyllic as the fantastical utopian yen, I feel pessimistic patriarchal wheelman who steer autocratic leviathan of state (witness Tiananmen Square student-led demonstrations known in Beijing, China as the June Fourth Incident lasting from 15 April to 4 June 1989) cuz twentieth century ruthless demagogues wanted to squelch pro-democracy movement, and not only stole demonstrators thunder but forcefully co-opted with lightning force their toys such as: sophisticated erector set and playpen for dolls loving buoys Barbie and ken the former coming to life as a miniature equestrienne experiencing magical realism.
