"And when thy Lord said unto the angels: Lo! I am about to place a viceroy on the earth, they said: Wilt thou place therein one who will do harm therein and will shed blood, while we, we hymn Thy praise and sanctify Thee ? He said: "Surely, I know that which ye know not." 


( Quran : Surah al-Baqarah 30 )


Then there are all those Genocidal Passages in the Tanakh 


Surely, peace - "a just peace" is the alternative to war ? 


Of course, if there was a Palestinian State then it's unlikely that October 7th would have happened.


Indeed, we live in a world of cause and effect, so where did the mayhem start? 


Did it start with The conquest of Canaan according to the Book of Joshua


When will it end? 


Who is going to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize this year? 


This is not poetry : 

There are those who say, "leave religion out of it" but isn't religion the very basis of the Middle East conflict? To quote from Porter's Pensées :


"But Netanyahu's elevation to the status of an Old Testament prophet will of course require him to win his present war: the whole project, that is, not just the fight against the Hezbollah. And, of course, it also rests on worldwide Jewry's acceptance of his militant, racist, nationalist, colonialist and frankly amoral reading of the Torah, which many other Jews dispute.
