Israel Palestine conflict, or
what is generally referred to as Middle East problem, flares up quite regularly
with huge human casualties and misery particularly on Palestine side as also unintended
victims like a nurse from Kerala (a small state in India where this blogger is
based) who died in the crossfire yesterday. It’s again the gift of West on
other part of the world. This conflict is so much discussed and analyzed threadbare
that it is futile to go into it as also expect any solution when you are aware of
valiant attempts by astute leaders over the decades have failed. It’s a viciously
divided region and the crack spread all across the world because of its
connection with controlling systems. It’s like staring into an abyss. The world is again in
an impasse while many important issues like pandemic or climate catastrophes
are pushed into background that the humanity can ill afford.
This issue though has its beginning
in early 20th century is rooted in systems dating back to centuries.
It’s an affront on enlightened souls and evolved thoughts that helped in progress
of humanity to where we are now -and intend to progress further in the exciting possibilities of future, if the same staid
tools and primitive mindsets are applied to approach this pernicious problem
that is becoming gangrene on humanity. It clearly needs a fresh approach, a new
perspective, which reflects evolution of human societies in 21st century.
If the societies don’t evolve with the minds that created these wonders of contemporary
world then the technologies become dangerous and ideas become lethal weapons. Ofcourse
there will be primitives but these must be relegated into the sidelines, that is,
reduced to insignificant minorities, and cannot control the mainstream
discourse. Humanity cannot evolve if it is stuck with primitive systems that
control humans and degrade them into herds. The primacy of herd is the root cause
of most problems across the world. It must be recognized that the system is the
cause of the misery. Herds are just cogs paying the price. Religion the fantastical
notion that was meant to sooth humans has become anachronistic nuisance with
perilous consequences.
The region of Middle East is
where the three prominent systems –religions, intersect. The events here have
such cataclysmic impact across the world because of the number of herds associated
with these influential systems and their respective orchestrated reactions. It’s
the game of dominance of systems wherein herds are the pawns and humanity is
the casualty. If ever any meaningful intervention is proposed then it must necessarily be to negate the system and extricate the humans. The moment humans are free they
will realize the futility of fighting, meaninglessness of occupying piece of land
and absurdity of defending structures of system –worship space. The problem is kept
alive and accentuated by herd controllers whether its politicians or influencers
of religions or media who don’t want to antagonize the herds as also seek to
benefit. Jew have narration of being exterminated hence they defend to last
blood while Islam works on as defender of its space. They pass narration to
younger generations as the misery move from one generation to other producing generations
of deeply flawed human beings. Meanwhile herds around the world choose the binary they want to associate with. The misery it spreads to human beings is
least of their concern. They are seen as martyrs for the system. The narration
has passed beyond absurdity and has become an embarrassment for the contemporary
world we live in if it not for the deaths and mayhem. We must deconstruct the
systems and walls of protection it has built at the expense of human beings. We
must encourage anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, and all phobias against all religions
and systems that seek to degrade and dehumanize. We are not living in 1940s. Religions
fighting with each other are false binaries. There are no sides to be taken when herds fight. You can only pity at the depth of depravity.
The world has evolved. Our understanding
of the world, the access and the capacity to influence makes 1940s distant memories
–fatal flaws of the past need to be understood, analyzed and surely not re-lived. Individuals
need to use their faculties and possibilities to understand the potential of
the world they live in. They must understand their unique context and connect to
the world. They must critically scrutinize and question that which prevents
these understandings. Societies must evolve and nurture values, spaces and
narrations that prevent systems that seek to dehumanize and segregate. Anachronistic
nuisance like religions needs to be critically analyzed and ridiculed. You must
tolerate being ridiculed for putting faith on fantastical fiction. You must be
pitied for your lack of common sense and inability to use your sensibilities to
scrutinize world. Private personal spiritual earnings that reassert being human
and unique member of humanity is how narration can be build. From this space collective
association will naturally attain its possibilities. The challenges facing
humanity needs free humans, free thinking minds and empathy driven world. Dehumanizing
systems are not only a threat to humanity but to the very world we live in.
