The last word is that extremism , especially the type borne of bias and prejudice built into legend , cannot create a meaningful platform for rapprochement and this war in Palestine is just another dress rehearsal for the next attack in a never-ending cycle of violence .
year delay in arriving at the destination now called the holy land , since as you can imagine no one was really in a hurry to point a horde of religious fanatics , in the right direction to lay claim on other people ’ s land .
So , the region was inhabited and those who lived there definitely had prior claim to the land and for the Israelites to turn up with a deed plan for the land and demand a title to be processed on the strength of what their god had promised seemed tenuous .
To make matters worse their god who was very vocal two thousand years ago , in fact Moses had regular strategy and management meetings with the almighty , suddenly became mteja after the demise of Moses , who incidentally did not set foot in the promised land .
With the disconnection of the celestial services provided by the Moses telco , their claim became a Jewish tradition as recorded in the book of Genesis . There was of course the added problem of presenting a legal claim document in a foreign land in Hebrew .
Canaan would today include Israel , Gaza and the West Bank , Jordan and some portions of Syria and Lebanon . The Israelites are therefore simply claiming and acquiring their promised land and are quite irritated that it has taken millennia to achieve their agenda .
Since the ICC cannot summon Israel to appear before it to produce evidence of their god ’ s promissory note because the

United States will certainly object , the world is left to believe that its Netanyahu who is currently in touch with the god of Israel .
The dream of the Greater Israel is alive and well and it is in this context that the world needs to understand the Palestinian plight . Israeli leadership is not interested in a twostate solution , they want the Palestinians out of their promised land .
The use of the term Israeli leadership is deliberate since it distinguishes it from the many Jews that do not support the atrocities that are being committed in their name in what is slowly but surely becoming an Israeli ethnic cleansing project .
Those behind the Israeli expansion scheme are the Zionists , a Jewish nationalist movement whose primary goal is to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine and thereafter consolidate it by offering a right to return for any Jew anywhere in the world .
Israel seems to be insensitive to the fact that they haven ’ t lived in what they religiously call their promised land for two thousand years and what they call Israel is a political creation by a western world remorseful about the holocaust .
The creation of Israel created an immediate protest from those dispossessed of land by the new state and there was a concerted effort to remove the occupying foreigners most of whom arrived in the middle east for the first time in their lives .
In the short seventy-year history of modern Israel , the country has fought several major wars with its Muslim neighbors and Israel has won all of them with the help of American and European powers .
The never ceasing tensions in the region have given rise to heavy handed treatment of locals by the Israel military which is justifiably paranoid and has built a formidable military capability to suppress dissention .
This extreme position by Israel gave birth to a guerilla terrorist group , Hamas , whose only goal is to obliterate the state of Israel from the world map . Ironically Hamas is now a democratically elected party in Palestine even though Israel refuses to recognize them .
The tragedy is that Hamas is not Palestine and Zionists are not Israel and while the two groups clash and refuse to yield an inch , the collateral damage is the innocent Israeli and Palestinian people who are caught in the crossfire .
It is morally reprehensible that a group of people that endured the horrors of the holocaust are capable of unleashing horrendous terror on another group . The description that Palestine is the world ’ s largest open-air prison is not an exaggeration .
In the current skirmish it is all too easy to lay the blame on a belligerent Hamas with their despicable assault on Israel , but isn ’ t that what an occupied people do , they resist their imprisonment in their own country , usually violently .
It appears that the god of Israel is a martial god since the Jews fought their way into Canaan in the biblical times and it seems they are repeating the act in modern times and one wonders how they are supposed to enjoy the land of milk and honey while dodging bullets .
The last word is that extremism , especially the type borne of bias and prejudice built into legend , cannot create a meaningful platform for rapprochement and this war in Palestine is just another dress rehearsal for the next attack in a never-ending cycle of violence .
What is normally missed in the excitement of the moment is that Hamas has a huge backing of Muslim countries and Israel has , as stated earlier , a formidable backing too . Hamas and Israel have become puppets in a sinister global confrontation with no end in sight .
The incidental loss of human life , no matter how large , is viewed from the lenses of Islamic and Christian interests in the region and the real or perceived strategic importance of both Israel and Palestine to its allies in the delicate geopolitical balance .
As the world mourns the unnecessary deaths and injuries in the Gaza , there are men , it is usually men , who from the comfort of their luxury hotels are already planning where the next strike will take place as each side jockeys for incremental bargaining power .
