The pain runs too deep.

I have been looking at memorials being posted online during this war by survivors of the Holocaust. I hope it is okay to call her by her first name. As a teacher in a classroom that is how I would address any student.

Czeslawa was lost to all of us by a hideous demand for power by those that believed they were the victims under Adolf Hitler. 

Czeslawa’s beautiful face, unrealized smile, wonderful mind, and possibly children born to her at some time in life, were all lost to us. That is a statement that can be made of all children lost to war, but, for the people of the Holocaust there is a deeper understanding of loss that assaults our very definition of humanity.

How do entire races of people forgive? The assault of genocide runs very deep for generation after generation. It is a reality which brings the deepest fear to any human being, in being killed due to the very genetics of one’s body.

I don’t know how to adequately address the Holocaust survivors and their descendants. At some point in time there needs to be a resolve to the fear of the other in order to go forward into a future of peace, prosperity, and pure existence. 

The war Israel is entrenched with began its existence long ago. This is not the first time these people have hated each other that resulted in war. Currently, however, it is to the point of allowing annihilation to manifest. I do not believe annihilation was ever the goal, but, the fear has caused a blindness to the worse rather than best outcomes. This war Israel is carrying out will not be over as generations after generations will see their very existence as hanging in the balance. 

While humanitarian definitions might be clear to some as to the injustice of the war, those definitions do not address the human condition as it actually exists today or that of the future. When a rational anger state presents itself between peoples there must be sovereign authority to define any war. There should be no allowance for terrorist organizations to be recognized as legitimate authority to any people.

To these understandings lies a greater definition of the war Israel and its free world allies now face. All countries of the world need to stop terrorist organizations from existing and incarcerate all that participate and hold account those who kill. 

No safe harbor anywhere in the world for terrorists, their agendas, their empowerment and weaponization; otherwise; these wars will continue to be a destabilizing threat to any sovereign country. How is the world going to address global stability if it is chronically destabilized in this way.

By allowing the hopes of peace to overshadow that of national security by providing a haven for terrorists such as Hamas and Hezbollah is proving to be a gross misjudgment to the peoples where terrorists found a foothold.

Genocide, as a fear, needs to be banished from the world. Fear is what empowers terrorists and dictators. For as crude this war of Israel’s retaliation is, it is carrying out a war to end those engaged in fear among Earth’s people. This is not a war between sovereign countries, it is a war to stop the ability of terrorists to kill and any sovereign authority that sanctions it. 



What is left to do?

Ahmed Muhammad Fahd and Hassan Nasrallah are both dead. Is it not time to begin the end of this war?
