IS THERE HELP FOR THE MIDDLE EAST?
Statement by Dieter Duhm and Sabine Lichtenfels
War wages in the Middle East. We, who are involved internationally, have to ask ourselves ever more urgently: What is there to do now? Do we have an answer that could also be helpful to the ones who are affected? The people of the Middle East now need the protection of an alert public which breaks the international silence and has the courage to call the injustice taking place there by its name. Why is Israel so generously supplied with weapons and money? Could it be that a long planned, more comprehensive political strategy is behind all this? Is it a “calculated war” after all? Is it meant that Israel becomes a base for the American dream of this large “free trade zone” from Algeria to Pakistan, which they call “Greater Middle East”? Is it the same power political concept of the Pentagon which today, in parallel, prepares the war in Iran and secures Israel with the necessary military equipment?
When we criticize a derailed government and a derailed military we do not mean “the Israelis”. A new peace movement has been forming for a long time in Israel and Palestine. A human is a human is a human, is a creature of God and the world, s/he does not belong to any nation, nor government, nor system. As long as these attachments exist, conflicts will persist. Not the craving for power or guns has brought us about but the love between a man and a woman. Why continue to live in a system committing such injustice? Why not fully participate in the work to surpass all these systems? Millions are migrating already towards a new existence beyond states and systems.
Can we not build up a large model of reconciliation together?

My theory is that all of the depressed, suicidal, fanatical nutcases running the governments that either have or want to have the bomb see it as a "great sword".
The trouble is some of them actually believe that they have a destiny to fullfill with this "great sword".
And once they start using this "great sword"...
I don't wanna think about that.
Trouble is, how do you stop depressed egomaniacs, who probably hear voices in their heads, from writing their names in the annuals of history?
These madmen (and madwomen) believe they will survive the horrors they inflict upon us all the while they're sell this shit to the brainwashed public as fullfillment of prophecy and for the good of civilization.
They believe that they can wage war on the populus until the oppressed are so devastated that they will accept anything for peace.
Including slavery.
After this train wrecks and the global economies are devasted, they will rebuild.
But the world that we know today will always be a hope for the future and the dream of the past as generations are born into institutionalized slavery.
It will be a slavery where trades are for value of ones own life in exchange for credit to buy necessities and some luxuries.
Damn, that sounds depressing.
...sorry about.
Maybe I need a smoke.
