It’s Time To Cast Aside Blame

[Jimmy]

It’s time to cast aside blame and for Palestinians and Israelis to live in peace. There is no other way forward imo. People all over the world arguing who’s wrong isn’t helping the situation. We need to come together and push for peace. It’s either peace or fighting. There is no in-between. In order to move forward, someone must take the first step. God Bless the Middle East.

You are amazing! Nobody has ever considered that an an answer and you should submit your revelation to the Israeli and Palestinian leaders immediately.

Seriously, as if that isn't essentially what everyone wants. The difficult questions are around how that peace is achieved. This is a bit like telling someone struggling with finances that they just need to get a better job to earn more money.

God Bless the Middle East.

If that's God's blessing, you'll forgive me for giving it a miss.

Well, you’re entitled to go on spreading that there’s difficult questions that need to be answered first. …and how has that been going for the past hundred years?

Look at all the debates on here since October 7th. Have these ‘difficult’ questions been resolved here? If people around the world can’t even attain peace what makes you think the Palestinians and Israelis ever will? Both sides need to start fighting for peace. Peace is obtained through peaceful actions. There is no other way imo.

Both sides are good at fighting. I think they would be good at fighting for peace as well. You have to start somewhere, no matter how small.

Gee, thanks.

 

[Jimmy]

Gee, thanks.

You disagree?

The questions need answering at some point regardless. The inability of people to agree on those answers is the reason peace hasn't been achieved. Unfortunately, simply declaring that there should be peace doesn't achieve anything. If it were that easy, it would have been resolved already.

A lot of them are (and a lot more honestly believe they are). That just doesn't get anything like as much international media attention. The problem is that it only takes a minority of trouble-makers to disrupt all of that (be that with misguided good intentions or for their own benefit).

It is that easy my friend. In fact it’s easier than fighting. Once the people that can make a difference start declaring that there should be peace then we will begin to see it take shape. Until then there will be fighting like the last 100 years. There is no other option.

Declaring that there should be peace will achieve a lot more than bickering about it for the last 100 years has. I’m not only talking about the Israeli and Palestinian people bickering, I’m talking about the people all over the world bickering and adding to the tensions.

Simply making a declaration of peace does nothing.
The one making the declaration has to actually uphold it.

Since we have seen both sides are not interested in peace, i am not giving even a nickel that it will happen.

…and arguing all over the world over who’s to blame for the past 100 years does?

Nope.
Who said otherwise?
I most certainly did not even imply it, let alone say it.

So why do you keep fighting me on this? Why not seek peace by accepting that I have a valid practical point?
